The invention relates to the technical field of
chemical synthesis, and particularly discloses a method for constructing chiral 2, 3-disubstituted
butyrate through
asymmetric hydrogenation of
tetra-substituted alpha, beta-unsaturated
carboxylic acid derivatives, and chiral ester and chiral
amide prepared through the method. According to the present invention, the beta-unsaturated
carboxylic acid derivative is adopted as the substrate, hydrogenation is performed to construct the chiral ester and the chiral
amide, the catalyst preparation method is simple, the performance is stable, and the good chiral selection effect and the good conversion rate can be obtained under the high substrate / catalyst condition; the
metal catalyst is prepared from a
metal nickel complex and a
diphosphorus chiral ligand (R, R)-QuinoxP *. The method provided by the invention has the characteristics of high enantioselectivity, high yield and high conversion number (
TON). The method can be used for synthesizing various substituted chiral esters and amides, can be used as important intermediates for preparing various medicines, and has important significance on the production of the medical industry.
