Organocatalytic Enantioselective Strecker Reaction with Seven-Membered Cyclic Imines
[EN] A highly enantioselective Strecker reaction with dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepines has been described using a dihydroquinine-derived thiourea as organocatalyst. The reaction affords chiral 10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f][1,4] oxazepine 11-carbonitrile derivatives in excellent yields (up to 99%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98%) under mild reaction conditions. ; Financial support from the Agencia Estatal de Investigacion (Spanish Government) and Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER, European Union) (CTQ2017-84900-P) is acknowledged.
