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.

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

Chiral diaminophosphines 4 were prepared from (S)-prolinol-derived aminophosphine oxide 5 by bromination with ring expansion followed by amination with ring contraction and reduction, using trichlorosilane.

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
