Recent Advances in Asymmetric Synthesis of Pyrrolidine-Based Organocatalysts and Their Application: A 15-Year Update. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052234. [PMID: 36903480 PMCID: PMC10005811 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28052234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
In 1971, chemists from Hoffmann-La Roche and Schering AG independently discovered a new asymmetric intramolecular aldol reaction catalyzed by the natural amino acid proline, a transformation now known as the Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert reaction. These remarkable results remained forgotten until List and Barbas reported in 2000 that L-proline was also able to catalyze intermolecular aldol reactions with non-negligible enantioselectivities. In the same year, MacMillan reported on asymmetric Diels-Alder cycloadditions which were efficiently catalyzed by imidazolidinones deriving from natural amino acids. These two seminal reports marked the birth of modern asymmetric organocatalysis. A further important breakthrough in this field happened in 2005, when Jørgensen and Hayashi independently proposed the use of diarylprolinol silyl ethers for the asymmetric functionalization of aldehydes. During the last 20 years, asymmetric organocatalysis has emerged as a very powerful tool for the facile construction of complex molecular architectures. Along the way, a deeper knowledge of organocatalytic reaction mechanisms has been acquired, allowing for the fine-tuning of the structures of privileged catalysts or proposing completely new molecular entities that are able to efficiently catalyze these transformations. This review highlights the most recent advances in the asymmetric synthesis of organocatalysts deriving from or related to proline, starting from 2008.

Abstract
A tris(2-aminoethyl)-amine-based dimeric capsular assembly of pentafluorophenyl urea (C1) has been employed as a catalyst in a wide range of Michael addition reactions. This capsular catalyst assembly dramatically accelerates the Michael addition reaction of β-nitrostyrenes (2a-2d) with various Michael donors such as ketoesters (3a, 3e), 1,3-diketones (3b), diesters (3C), and cyanoesters (3d) at room temperature to yield the corresponding nitroalkanes in significantly high yields within a very short reaction time. Significant improvement in solubility and use of conventional organic solvents in reaction along with a drastic decrease in reaction time (high value of the rate constant of the reaction) has been achieved through C1 as compared to the previously reported homologous tripodal monomeric urea catalyst (L1). The addition of enolate to β-nitrostyrenes to generate an anionic intermediate seemed to be highly stabilized by the six urea units of capsular assembly. Control experiments and in situ kinetic studies are performed for this addition reaction and based on the results, a plausible mechanism has been proposed for the formation of Michael adduct inside the capsular cavity.
