Computational Study-Led Organocatalyst Design:  A Novel, Highly Active Urea-Based Catalyst for Addition Reactions to Epoxides

An in silico study examined the stabilities of hydrogen-bonded complexes between simple thiourea catalysts and three different electrophiles and identified a novel, highly active N-tosyl urea catalyst for the promotion of addition reactions to epoxide electrophiles. Synthesis and evaluation of 6 rev...

description An in silico study examined the stabilities of hydrogen-bonded complexes between simple thiourea catalysts and three different electrophiles and identified a novel, highly active N-tosyl urea catalyst for the promotion of addition reactions to epoxide electrophiles. Synthesis and evaluation of 6 revealed it to be a powerful catalyst for the addition of 1,2-dimethylindole to styrene oxide under conditions in which simple N,N-bis-aryl ureas and thioureas (including 1) are inactive. Subsequent studies determined 6 to be compatible with a range of indole and epoxide substrates (including (E)-stilbene oxide) and found that relatively poor nucleophiles such as sterically and electronically deactivated anilines, thiophenol, and benzyl alcohol could be efficiently and regioselectively added to oxiranes under mild conditions.
