Abstract:

Several novel chiral organocatalysts derived from thiazolidines containing amide and thioureia functionalities were synthesized in good yields. These organocatalysts were tested in the asymmetric aldol reaction of acetone with p-nitrobenzaldehyde. Reaction parameters such as reaction time, catalyst loading and solvent were optimized. Products with conversions up to 84% and enantiomeric ratios (er) up to 84.5:15.5 (R:S) were obtained. The effect of several chiral and non-chiral additives on the reactivity and selectivity of the reaction was also evaluated. The reaction was extended to other aromatic aldehydes with the best organocatalyst and when p-bromobenzaldehyde was used, an er of 94.5:5.5 (R:S) was obtained.

Keywords: Thiazolidines, organocatalyst, aldol reaction, enantioselective, asymmetric synthesis, additives.
