Abstract

Uncharged chiral bis(guanidino)iminophosphorane organosuperbase catalysts substituted by bulky aryl groups were synthesized. The synthetic procedure for the 7,7-membered spiro-cyclization step was modified to enhance the chemical yield of bis(guanidino)iminophosphorane derived from (1S,2S)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2- ethanediamine. In accordance with the amended procedure, bis(guanidino) iminophosphoranes with bulky aryl substituents were newly synthesized and evaluated as chiral organosuperbase catalysts in the enantioselective amination of 2-methyltetralone.
