摘要/Abstract
含β-芳基/α-季碳中心的吡咯烷是一类重要的手性吡咯烷类化合物.目前该类化合物的不对称合成主要是通过钯催化含氮烯烃底物与各类芳基前体的不对称胺芳基化反应来实现的.在这里报道了一种反应机理不同于上述反应的不对称胺芳基化新方法.利用本课题组之前发展的一价铜/手性磷酸组成的金属手性阴离子单电子催化体系成功实现了含氮烯烃底物与芳基重氮盐的不对称自由基的胺芳基化反应，以中等收率和中等至良好的对映选择性得到含β-芳基/α-季碳中心的吡咯烷类化合物.

Enantioenriched pyrrolidines bearing a β-aryl group and an α-quaternary carbon stereocenter are important structural motifs in many natural products and pharmaceuticals, and their enantioselective synthesis has thus received extensive attention over the last several decades. Nonetheless, so far as we know, asymmetric aminoarylation of alkenes to access such targets has only been independently reported by Wolfe and Liu using palladium catalysis involving a key aminopalladation step, and thus, general and practical methodologies towards a variety of chiral pyrrolidines are still in demand and highly desirable. As part of our ongoing interest in radical-initiated difunctionalization reactions of alkenes based on Cu(I)/chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalysis, we sought to develop a mechanistically distinct and complementary approach for this asymmetric palladium(Ⅱ)-catalyzed aminoarylation of alkenes. Herein we describe our efforts toward the development of the efficient asymmetric radical-initiated aminoarylation of alkenes with aryldiazonium salts enabled by Cu(I)/CPA catalysis. A general procedure for the aminoarylation of alkenes with aryldiazonium salts is as follows:under argon, an oven-dried resealable Schlenk tube equipped with a magnetic stir bar was charged with urea substrate 1 (0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), CuI (1.9 mg, 0.01 mmol, 10 mol%), CPA[(S)-A1 (9.3 mg, 0.015 mmol, 15 mol%], aryldiazonium salts 2 (0.12 mmol, 1.2 equiv.), Na3PO4 (19.7 mg, 0.12 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) and isopropyl acetate(1.0 mL) at 32℃ and the sealed tube was then stirred under the same conditions. Upon completion (monitored by thin-layer chromatography), the reaction mixture was directly purified by silica gel chromatography[eluent:V(petroleum ether):V(EtOAc)=100:0 to 3:1] to afford the desired product 3. The enantiometric excess of product was determined by chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. A broad scope of substrates worked well under this standard conditions to afford enantioenriched pyrrolidines in good yield with good to excellent enantioselectivity. A series of control experiments were conducted to determine the reaction mechanism as a radical process and a possible mechanism was proposed.
