In the aza-Baylis-Hillman reaction of N-sulfonated imines (N-arylmethylidene-4-methylbenzenesulfonamides and others) with Me vinyl ketone, Et vinyl ketone, and acrolein, we found that, in the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral phosphine Lewis base such as (R)-2′-diphenylphosphanyl-[1,1′]binaphthalenyl-2-ol LB1 (10 mol %) and mol. sieve 4A, the corresponding aza-Baylis-Hillman adducts could be obtained in good yields with good to high ee (70-95% ee) at low temperature (â?30 to -20 °C) or at room temperature in THF, resp. In CH2Cl2 upon heating at 40 °C, the aza-Baylis-Hillman reaction of N-sulfonated imines with Ph acrylate or naphthyl acrylate gave the adducts in good to high yields (60-97%) with moderate ee (52-77%). The mechanistic insight has been investigated by 31P and 1H NMR spectroscopic measurements. The key enolate intermediate, which has been stabilized by intramol. hydrogen bonding, has been observed by 31P and 1H NMR spectroscopy. An effective bifunctional Lewis base and Bronsted acid phosphine Lewis base system has been disclosed in this catalytic, asym. aza-Baylis-Hillman reaction.
