We report the (R)-3,3'-I2-BINOL-boron-complex-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 2'-hydroxychalcones with N,N'-cyclic azomethine imines, providing the corresponding N,N'-bicyclic pyrazolidine derivatives with three contiguous tertiary stereocenters in high yields with excellent diastereo-… Click to show full abstract
We report the (R)-3,3'-I2-BINOL-boron-complex-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 2'-hydroxychalcones with N,N'-cyclic azomethine imines, providing the corresponding N,N'-bicyclic pyrazolidine derivatives with three contiguous tertiary stereocenters in high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >99:1 diastereomeric ratio and >99% enantiomeric excess). This catalytic system exhibits advantages of mild reaction conditions, high efficiency, and broad substrate scopes.
