Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is attractive to synthetic organic chemists as an abundant, cheap, and non-toxic carbon source. Although CO2 is very stable chemical substances, it has mainly two reactivities; one is electrophilicity of the center carbon of CO2, and the other is that C=O double bond can be activated by transition metal complexes. With respect to the former reactivity, we developed the synthesis of chiral a-amino acids through Cu-catalyzed asymmetric addition of silyl anion to N-sulfonyl imine followed by the reaction of the resultant chiral a-silyl N-sulfoneamide with CO2 in a stereoretentive manner. With respect to the latter reactivity, we developed the synthesis of a chiral b-amino acids or b-aryloxy carboxylic acids through a combination of nickel-catalyzed carboxylation of ynamides or aryl ynol ethers and rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of the resultant carboxylated product.
