General description

(S)-(+)-2-Pyrrolidinemethanol, also known as (S)-(+)-prolinol is a chiral building block that is used for the synthesis of chiral organic compounds. It is also used as a chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis and a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis.

Application

(S)-(+)-2-Pyrrolidinemethanol can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of (S)-α, α-diaryl-2-pyrrolidinemethanols. It plays an important role in this synthesis by providing chirality to the final product.

A highly efficient approach for the synthesis, application, and recycling of immobilized diarylprolinol silyl ethers was developed. The MeOPEG-supported Jørgensen-Hayashi catalyst provides unchanged reactivity and selectivity as compared to the homogeneous catalyst, as demonstrated for the Michael addition of nitromethane

Diarylprolinol was found to be an effective organocatalyst of the direct, enantioselective aldol reaction of commercially available polymeric ethyl glyoxylate, affording gamma-ethoxycarbonyl-beta-hydroxy aldehydes, versatile synthetic intermediates, in good yield with excellent enantioselectivity.

Products of a novel iminium-catalyzed oxa-Michael addition undergo a kinetic resolution by a subsequent enamine-catalyzed intermolecular reaction. This is a rare example of kinetic resolution by enamine catalysis and the first organocascade kinetic resolution. This resolution produces enantioenriched 2,6-cis-tetrahydropyrans and

To seek novel metal-free organic catalysts for epoxidation with high stereoselectivity, a series of 4-substituted-alpha,alpha-diaryl-prolinols were synthesized in four steps from trans-4-hydroxyl-L-proline. These prolinol derivatives catalyzed the asymmetric epoxidation of alpha,beta-enones to give the corresponding chiral epoxides in good yields

An eco-friendly synthesis of highly functionalized epoxides and their incorporation into an organocatalytic multicomponent approach are reported. For this, a modified class of diarylprolinol silyl ethers was designed to enable high catalytic activity in an environmentally benign solvent system. The
