Abstract
- Abstract: A series of chiral 4,5-bis(2-oxazolinyl)-(2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethyl)-9H-xanthenes (xabox) and their transition-metal complexes were synthesized. The X-ray analysis of xabox–RhCl3 complex shows a unique facial type structure. Xabox–Bn–Mn(II) and xabox–Bn–Mg(II) complexes were found to be efficient catalysts in nitrone 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-D.C.) reaction resulting in good to excellent enantioselectivities ranging from 96:4 to >99:1of endo/exo ratio and 91–96% ee for the endo adduct. The correlation between enantiomeric excess of the ligand and the product in the nitrone 1,3-D.C. reaction shows a clear linear relationship, which suggests xabox–metal catalyst worked as a single molecular catalyst. In addition, xabox–i-Pr–Mn(II) complex was also found to be an active catalyst for Diels–Alder (D–A) reaction of acryloyloxazolidinone and cyclopentadiene affording the corresponding cycloadduct in quantitative yield along with 82% ee and 98:2 endo/exo ratio.
