Highly Enantioselective [3+3] Cycloaddition of Aromatic Azomethine Imines with Cyclopropanes Directed by π–π Stacking Interactions

Abstract

Reich an Armen: Der mit einem Seitenarm modifizierte In-TOX-NiII-Komplex wurde als hoch effizienter und stereoselektiver Katalysator der [3+3]-Cycloaddition von aromatischen Azomethin-Iminen an Cyclopropane identifiziert (siehe Bild). Dichtefunktionalrechnungen und Kontrollexperimente zeigen, dass der Seitenarm den stereochemischen Verlauf über π-Wechselwirkungen entscheidend bestimmt.
