The reaction effectively constructs bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes, a class of compounds that can replace traditional drug scaffolds.
Mild reaction conditions lead to the formation of enantioselective products, achieving up to 95% selectivity.
This method relies on an innovative aminocatalytic process, showcasing the utility of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes in organic synthesis.
The findings indicate potential applications in drug development, particularly for bioisosteres of aryl groups.

Implication

Aminocatalytic cycloaddition generates bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes from bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, suggesting new possibilities for drug design.

Abstract

Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes have opened a new area of chemical space for construction of bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes–a scaffold showing promise as ortho- and meta- aryl bioisosteres. Herein, we present the first aminocatalytic concept that enables...
