dc.description.abstract | A protocol for the isothiourea-catalysed transfer hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated para-nitrophenyl esters using Hantzsch ester has been developed. Good to excellent yields are observed using α,β-unsaturated aryl esters bearing electron-withdrawing β-substituents. The aryl ester products can either be isolated directly in moderate to excellent yields (7 examples, 16–98%) or converted to the corresponding methyl esters (2 examples, 68–70% yield) or benzyl amides (2 examples, 44–88% yield) after in situ reaction of the hydrogenated ester with the appropriate nucleophile. Preliminary experiments showed that modest enantioinduction (76:24 er) is possible when a chiral isothiourea catalyst was used. | |
