Merging Nucleophilic and Hydrogen Bonding Catalysis: An Anion Binding Approach to the Kinetic Resolution of Amines

A new concept for asymmetric nucleophilic catalysis is presented. Acyl pyridinium salts derived from 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) and benzoic anhydride are rendered chiral via interaction with a chiral thiourea anion receptor. The power of this concept is demonstrated in the context of kinetic a...

Zusammenfassung:A new concept for asymmetric nucleophilic catalysis is presented. Acyl pyridinium salts derived from 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) and benzoic anhydride are rendered chiral via interaction with a chiral thiourea anion receptor. The power of this concept is demonstrated in the context of kinetic amine resolution.
