Asymmetric Biginelli Reaction Catalyzed by Silicon, Titanium and Aluminum Oxides
The asymmetric Biginelli reaction was investigated in the presence of N-[(2S,4R)-4-hydroxyprolyl]-(S)-1-phenylethylamine as chiral inducer and silicon, titanium or aluminum oxides (individual and mixed, bulk and nanosized) as heterogeneous catalysts. It has been shown that all studied oxides improve chemo- and stereoselectivity of the Biginelli reaction. [GRAPHICS]
