A Cu-catalyzed asym. 1,6-conjugate addition of in situ generated para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with β-ketoester has been developed to construct a ketoester skeleton bearing an adjacent tertiary-quaternary carbon stereocenter in good yields and high enantioselectivities. This is the first example of metal-catalyzed asym. transformations of the in situ generated p-QMs, avoiding using pre-synthesized p-QMs requiring bulky 2,6-substitutions and highlighting a new dual catalytic activation with the chiral bis(oxazoline)-metal complex acting as a normal Lewis acid to activate the β-ketoesters and a source of Bronsted acid responsible for generating the p-QMs in situ. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Ethyl 3-oxo-3-(thiophen-2-yl)propanoate (cas: 13669-10-8Application of 13669-10-8).
Ethyl 3-oxo-3-(thiophen-2-yl)propanoate (cas: 13669-10-8) belongs to esters. Esters perform as high-grade solvents for a broad array of plastics, plasticizers, resins, and lacquers, and are one of the largest classes of synthetic lubricants on the commercial market. Polyesters are important plastics, with monomers linked by ester moieties. Because of their lack of hydrogen-bond-donating ability, esters do not self-associate. Consequently, esters are more volatile than carboxylic acids of similar molecular weight.Application of 13669-10-8
