1,6-酮酯高立体选择性合成离子液体介导：三组分反应启用快速进入低分子量胶凝剂的新型类
Summary
Ionic liquids (ILs) mediate fast, simple and cheap access to 1,6-ketoesters in high diastereoselectivities and good yields. The reaction protocol is robust and the 1,6-ketoesters can be obtained in gram scale after a simple filtration protocol. Moreover, the 1,6-ketoesters are potent gelators in hydrocarbon solvents.
Abstract
In organic chemistry ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as safe and recyclable reaction solvents. In the presence of a base ILs can be deprotonated to form catalytically active N-Heterocyclic Carbenes (NHCs). Here we have used ILs as precatalysts in the addition of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to chalcones to form 1,6-ketoesters, incorporating an anti-diphenyl moiety in a highly stereoselective fashion. The reaction has a broad substrate scope and several functional groups and heteroaromatics can be integrated into the ketoester backbone in generally good yields with maintained stereoselectivity. The reaction protocol is robust and scalable. The starting materials are inexpensive and the products can be obtained after simple filtration, avoiding solvent-demanding chromatography. Furthermore, the IL can be recycled up to 5 times without any loss of reactivity. Moreover, the 1,6-ketoester end product is a potent gelator in several hydrocarbon based solvents. The method enables rapid access to and evaluation of a new class of low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) from recyclable and inexpensive starting materials.

离子液体（离子液体）具有高稳定性，低挥发性，不可燃性，并因此呈现关注，因为安全的反应介质和理想的溶剂进行回收。1-3二烷基咪唑鎓是一个特定类型的离子液体，在碱的存在下可以去质子化，以使一个N-杂环卡宾（NHC）。4在有机催化的领域中，的NHCs，根据不同的反应路径操作时，已经被广泛的使用在广泛的通用反应。5-11
尽管如此，ILS和CC键formin之间的连接摹NHC催化相对未开发的。尽管如此，从的NHCs离子液体衍生已经报道了催化CC键形成反应，如苯偶姻缩合和施德达反应。12-22。例如，Davis等人已经表明，从N-烷基thiazoliums衍生离子液体作为在预催化剂形成苯甲醛安息香12
最近，Chen和同事扩展使用基于IL咪唑这个概念，1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑鎓乙酸盐（EMIMAc），对5-羟甲基糠醛（HMF）执行安息香缩合以生成5,5' -二（羟甲基）furoin（DHMF）。23由于离子液体可以买到，报价产生NHC的的一种廉价的方式，我们有兴趣在研究什么其他类型的反应，离子液体可以执行。为此，我们发现，二烷基咪唑鎓可有效用作在正规共轭additi预催化剂上的不饱和醛以查耳酮（图1），得到1,6-酮酯。最有效的IL，EMIMAc，促进肉桂醛和查尔之间的高立体选择性反应。发生反应以高偏爱反 -非对映和1,6-酮酯可以分离在产率高达92％。24,25,26
