General description

(DHQD)2AQN is a biscinchona alkaloid.

Application

(DHQD)2AQN may be used to:
  • Catalyze the asymmetric cyanation of ketones to form tertiary cyanohydrin carbonates.
  • Facilitate the asymmetric ring opening of terminal N-nosylaziridines with trimethylsilyl cyanide.
Superior ligand for asymmetric dihydroxylation reactions of most olefins bearing aliphatic substituents or olefins having heteroatoms in the allylic position.

The cinchona alkaloid dimer (DHQD)2 PHAL has been shown to be a broadly applicable catalyst for asymmetric halogenations. However, this catalyst does not have to be dimeric and a class of monomeric quinidine and quinine-derived catalysts was prepared, often showing
A highly enantioselective chiral Lewis base-catalyzed asymmetric cyanation of ketones.

Cinchona Alkaloids

Asymmetric phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) has been recognized as a “green” alternative to many homogeneous synthetic organic transformations, and has found widespread application. Synthetically modified cinchona alkaloids are typical chiral organocatalysts used in asymmetric PTC.
