First synthesis of optically pure propargylic N-hydroxylamines by direct, highly diastereoselective addition of terminal alkynes to nitrones

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In situ generation of nucleophilic alkynilides by using substoichiometric amounts of Zn(OTf)2 (OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate) followed by removal of the chiral auxiliary enables the direct use of a wide range of terminal acetylenes in the synthesis of optically pure propargylic N-hydroxylamines (see scheme).
