在三氟甲磺酸铜催化下,苯烯基重氮甲酯和苯胺(2)在多种溶剂下发生插入反应,主要产物是α,β-不饱和γ-氨基酸衍生物。以二氯甲烷为溶剂时,产物的区域选择性随2上取代基不同而发生变化。通过在铜催化剂中加入配体,可以获得低的对映选择性。
With the catalyst of copper( Ⅱ) trifluomethanesulfonate, insertion reactions between methyl styryldiazoacetate and arylamines occured in many solvents and give α,β-unsaturated and γ-substituted amino acid derivatives, under CH2Cl2 reflux condition. The regioselectivity differs with the substituents on the phenyl ring. We can obtain low enantioselectivity by adding ligands to the catalyst.
