Theoretical Investigation on the Role of Amine Bases in Stabilizing the Key Intermediate of Proline Enamine Carboxylate in Proline-Catalyzed Asymmetric Reactions

Article Preview

Abstract:

Quantum mechanical calculations have been performed to study the equilibrium among the key intermediates (iminium ion, oxazolidione, and enamine) in the proline-catalyzed reactions under base-free and base-present conditions. The results confirmed that the tautomeric equilibrium among these species can be tuned by the basic additives. The computations satisfactorily rationalized the experimental observations and provide a clue on how to stabilize the enamine intermediates.
