Chemoselective Synthesis of α-Ketoamines from α-Diketones and Arylamines Using Palladium and Rhodium Catalyst
摘要
Abstract
This study investigates α‑ketoamines from α‑diketones and arylamines using palladium and rhodium catalyst with chiral ligands. Among the catalysts tested, Pd(Tfa)2/Dppf and Rh(Acac)(CO)2/BINAP proved to be effective in facilitating the synthesis of α‑ketoamines. While high chemoselectivity and good yields were obtained, low enantioselectivity was observed, which may be attributed to the presence of multiple rhodium hydride species identified by NMR analysis. These findings highlight the chemoselectivity of this reaction, enabling the continuous production of high‑value products and synthetic intermediates.
