Resumo:
3,5-dimethyl-4-nitroisoxazole derivatives are useful synthetic intermediates as the isoxazole nucleus chemically behaves as an ester, but establish better-defined interactions with chiral catalysts and lability of its N-O aromatic bond can unveil other groups such as 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds or carboxylic acids. In the present work, these features are employed in a 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitroisoxazole based synthesis of the γ-amino acid pregabalin, a medication for the treatment of epilepsy and neuropatic pain, in which this moiety is fundamental for the enantioselective formation of a chiral center by interaction with doubly-quaternized cinchona phase-transfer catalysts, whose ability of asymmetric induction will be investigated. Influence of this group in cinchona-derivatives catalysed stereoselective addition and Darzens reaction of a mono-chlorinated 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitroisoxazole and benzaldehyde will also be investigated.
