General description

(S)-(+)-2-Pyrrolidinemethanol, also known as (S)-(+)-prolinol is a chiral building block that is used for the synthesis of chiral organic compounds. It is also used as a chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis and a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis.

Application

(S)-(+)-2-Pyrrolidinemethanol can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of (S)-α, α-diaryl-2-pyrrolidinemethanols. It plays an important role in this synthesis by providing chirality to the final product.

The intramolecular aminohydroxylation of N-alkenylsulfonamides proceeded under heavy metal-free conditions to give substituted prolinol derivatives in high yields. Oxone activated by catalytic Brønsted acid worked well as an electrophilic oxidant for this reaction.

Sulfenylated oxindoles: The first asymmetric sulfenylation of N-Boc-protected oxindoles has been developed to provide products containing a tetrasubstituted stereogenic center in high to excellent yields (86-98 %) and, in most cases, excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96 % ee; see scheme).

Diarylprolinol was found to be an effective organocatalyst of the direct, enantioselective aldol reaction of commercially available polymeric ethyl glyoxylate, affording gamma-ethoxycarbonyl-beta-hydroxy aldehydes, versatile synthetic intermediates, in good yield with excellent enantioselectivity.

A highly efficient approach for the synthesis, application, and recycling of immobilized diarylprolinol silyl ethers was developed. The MeOPEG-supported Jørgensen-Hayashi catalyst provides unchanged reactivity and selectivity as compared to the homogeneous catalyst, as demonstrated for the Michael addition of nitromethane
