Abstract
An efficient approach has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of inherently chiral quinoline-fused calix[4]arenes through palladium-catalyzed asymmetric mono-/double C-H cycloimidoylation of isocyano-calix[4]arenes.The cyclization strategy of forming a six-membered heterocyclic ring employs readily available calix[4]arene derived isocyanides and aryl iodides as coupling partners under mild conditions with low catalyst loading, and a wide range of calix[4]arenes with extended aromatic systems were obtained with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee).Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal the origin of the enantioselectivity during the C(sp 2 )-H imidoylative cyclization process.
