Chiral selenide-catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of trifluoromethylthiolated 2,5-disubstituted oxazolines
Abstract
Chiral selenide-catalyzed enantioselective trifluoromethylthiolation of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes is disclosed. By this method, a variety of chiral trifluoromethylthiolated 2,5-disubstituted oxazolines were obtained in good yields with high enantioselectivities. This work not only provides a new pathway for the synthesis of chiral oxazolines, but also expands the library of chiral trifluoromethylthiolated molecules.
