- Asymmetric neber reaction in the Synthesis of Chiral 2-(Tetrazol-5-yl)-2H-AzirinesPublication . Alves, Claudia; Grosso, Carla; Barrulas, Pedro; Paixao, Jose A.; Cardoso, Ana L.; Burke, Anthony J.; Lemos, Americo; Pinho e Melo, Teresa M. V. D.A successful one-pot methodology for the synthesis of chiral 2-tetrazolyl-2H-azirines has been established, resorting to organocatalysis. The protocol involves the in situ tosylation of beta-ketoxime-1H-tetrazoles followed by the Neber reaction, in the presence of chiral organocatalysts. Among the organocatalysts studied a novel thiourea catalyst derived from 6 beta-aminopenicillanic acid afforded excellent enantioselectivities.
