Enantioselective and Diastereoselective Construction of Chiral Amino Alcohols by Iridium–f-Amphox-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution

Enantioselective and Diastereoselective Construction of Chiral Amino Alcohols by Iridium–f-Amphox-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution
Congcong Yin, Yuanhua Liu, Xumu Zhang, Weilong Wu, Xiu-Qin Dong, Cai You
The iridium–f-amphox-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic α-amino β-unfunctionalized ketones proceeds via a DKR (dynamic kinetic resolution) process for the construction of various chiral N,N-disubstituted α-amino β-unfunctionalized alcohols in quantitative yields with excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities (all products >99% ee and >99:1 dr, TON up to 100 000). Importantly, this catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation with a DKR process provided a highly efficient and powerful synthetic strategy for the preparation of key chiral intermediates of the preclinical antitumor agent (S,S)-R116010.
