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.

The synthesis of optically active substituted piperidines has been achieved by using four different methodologies. The first one is an intramolecular nucleophilic displacement of activated alcohol moieties that was used to build up the piperidine ring of (-)-prosophylline and (-)-slaframine

A highly efficient route for the synthesis of valuable 3,4-substituted chromenone derivatives by the reaction of 1,3-diketones with aldehydes in the presence of l-proline was developed. The reactions take advantage of readily available starting materials and follow a Knoevenagel condensation/Michael

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
