Abstract
We report the first example of the construction of chiral 2,3-benzodiazepine compounds which are of biologic and pharmaceutical relevance by asymmetric catalysis. Catalyzed by a thiazolium-derived carbene and a palladium-chiral bidentate phosphine complex in sequence, one-pot reaction between 1-(2-(2-nitrovinyl)aryl)allyl esters 1 with azodicarboxylates 2 took place efficiently at ambient temperature to produce 4-nitro-1-vinyl-1H-2,3-benzodiazepine-2,3-dicarboxylates 5 in good to excellent yields with an enantiomeric ratio of up to 95:5.
