Herein we report the metal-free diastereoselective frustrated Lewis pair (FLP)-catalyzed hydrogenation of aza-Morita–Baylis–Hillman (aza-MBH) adducts, accessing a diverse range of stereodefined β-amino acid derivatives in excellent isolated yields (28 examples, 89% average yield, up to 90:10 d.r.). Furthermore, sequential organo-FLP catalysis has been developed. An initial organocatalyzed aza-MBH reaction followed by in situ FLP formation and hydrogenation of the electron-deficient α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds can be performed in one-pot, using DABCO as the Lewis base in both catalytic steps.

Abstract

Herein we report the metal-free diastereoselective frustrated Lewis pair (FLP)-catalyzed hydrogenation of aza-Morita–Baylis–Hillman (aza-MBH) adducts, accessing a diverse range of stereodefined β-amino acid derivatives in excellent isolated yields (28 examples, 89% average yield, up to 90:10 d.r.). Furthermore, sequential organo-FLP catalysis has been developed. An initial organocatalyzed aza-MBH reaction followed by in situ FLP formation and hydrogenation of the electron-deficient α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds can be performed in one-pot, using DABCO as the Lewis base in both catalytic steps.
