Rigidified Bis(sulfonyl)ethylenes as Effective Michael Acceptors for Asymmetric Catalysis: Application to the Enantioselective Synthesis of Quaternary Hydantoins

The catalytic, enantio- and diastereoselective addition of hydantoin surrogates II to “rigidified” vinylidene bis(sulfone) reagents is developed, thus overcoming the inability of commonly employed β- substituted vinylic sulfones to react. Adducts are transformed in enantioenriched 5,5-disubstituted...

Sumario:The catalytic, enantio- and diastereoselective addition of hydantoin surrogates II to “rigidified” vinylidene bis(sulfone) reagents is developed, thus overcoming the inability of commonly employed β- substituted vinylic sulfones to react. Adducts are transformed in enantioenriched 5,5-disubstituted hydantoins through hydrolysis and reductive desulfonylation processes providing new structures for eventual bioassays. Density functional theory studies that rationalize the observed reactivity and stereoselectivity trends are also provided.
