Enantioselective Phase‐Transfer Catalysis: Synthesis of Pyrazolines

Abstract

All paired up: Under catalytic phase-transfer conditions the formation of a chiral ion pair between quininium cation 1 and hydrazine anion 2 led to an enantioselective aza-Michael cyclocondensation domino reaction to furnish pyrazolines. A convenient one-pot protocol allowed exchange of the functional group (R1) on the nitrogen atom. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
