Proline-based N,N′-dioxide ligands were designed on the basis of isosteric approach, and were successfully applied in enantioselective nucleophilic addition to aldehydes. In the presence of 10 mol% of chiral ligand 1b, enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes provided the corresponding secondary alcohols in up to 90% isolated yield and up to 99% ee. Similarly, using 3e as chiral ligand, enantioselective arylation and alkynylation of aldehydes also proceeded readily, leading to the desired chiral alcohols in up to 92% isolated yield at 99% ee and 80% isolated yields and up to 84% ee, respectively. The current work would shed light on expanding the structure diversity in the design of chiral ligands and chiral catalysts.

Abstract: Chiral norephedrine-derived β-amino alcohols with a thiophene moiety were synthesized from thiophene carbaldehydes (methyl- or ethyl-substituted) and chiral amino alcohols, such as both enantiomers of norephedrine and 2-aminopropanol. The synthesized ligands were applied to the catalytic asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes to obtain optically active alcohols with a high conversion (92%) and excellent enantioselectivities (ee up to 99%). The highest enantioselectivity (ee 99%) was obtained with p-trifluorobenzaldehyde as the substrate containing the strongly electron-acceptor CF3 group.
