Organocatalytic Nucleophilic Addition of Hydrazones to Imines: Synthesis of Enantioenriched Vicinal Diamines
Abstract
In the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral phosphoric acid, nucleophilic addition of N-monosubstituted hydrazones to N-Boc imines affords differentially protected vicinal diamines in the form of b-amino N,N’-dialkyldiazenes in excellent yields with high chemo-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. This catalytic asymmetric aza-Mannich reaction represents the first example in which N-alkyl hydrazones serve as a-azo carbanion equivalents to provide vicinal diamines with control of the two contiguous stereocenters. The adducts are readily converted into the monoprotected or free diamines and derivatives thereof

Nucleophilic substitution
In chemistry, a nucleophilic substitution is a class of chemical reactions in which an electron-rich chemical species (known as a nucleophile) replaces a functional group within another electron-deficient molecule (known as the electrophile). The molecule that contains the electrophile and the leaving functional group is called the substrate.R. A. Rossi, R. H. de Rossi, Aromatic Substitution by the SRN1 Mechanism, ACS Monograph Series No. 178, American Chemical Society, 1983. .
Nucleophilic addition
In organic chemistry, a nucleophilic addition reaction is an addition reaction where a chemical compound with an electrophilic double or triple bond reacts with a nucleophile, such that the double or triple bond is broken. Nucleophilic additions differ from electrophilic additions in that the former reactions involve the group to which atoms are added accepting electron pairs, whereas the latter reactions involve the group donating electron pairs.
Michael addition reaction
In organic chemistry, the Michael reaction or Michael 1,4 addition is a reaction between a Michael donor (an enolate or other nucleophile) and a Michael acceptor (usually an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl) to produce a Michael adduct by creating a carbon-carbon bond at the acceptor's β-carbon. It belongs to the larger class of conjugate additions and is widely used for the mild formation of carbon-carbon bonds.
