The first direct synthesis of chiral Troger's bases catalyzed by chiral glucose-containing pyridinium ionic liquids
Troger's base (TB) and its derivatives, especially chiral TBs are widely used in many fields. Although there is an urgent demand for the direct synthesis of pure enantiomers of TBs, convenient synthetic strategies are far less developed. Ionic liquids are green and recyclable solvent, therefore, in this paper, novel chiral glucose-containing pyridinium ionic liquids (1-((2S,3S,4R,5S,6S)-3,4,5-triacetoxy-6-(acetoxymethyl)tetra hydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)pyridin-1-ium tetrafluoroborate, [EY-GrEBE41-, 5) was synthesized and used as catalyst and solvent, while trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was used as co-catalyst, to promote the one-step direct asymmetric synthesis of Troger's bases with pyrazol flank (7) firstly at room temperature with high yields (up to 83%) and high ee value (up to 84%). A reasonable reaction mechanism was investigated by using chemical experiments, H-1 NMR analysis and mass spectrometry. The novel method is environmental friendly and the result indicated its value of practical application. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
