The invention relates to a chiral
pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof, the structural general formula of the catalyst is # imgabs0 #, in the formula, R1 is # imgabs1 #, X1-6 comprises N or C-R6-11; r2, R4 and R6-11 comprise
hydrogen,
alkyl of C1-24, alkyloxy, # imgabs2 # CO2Rd,
halogen,
nitryl, cyano or
trifluoromethyl; r3 comprises substituted or unsubstituted C1-24
alkyl groups,
substituent groups comprise
halogen, C1-10
alkyl groups, C3-10 cycloalkyl or
aryl groups, C1-8 carbonyl groups, C1-8
sulfonyl or phosphoryl groups, and C1-10 alkoxy or amido groups, and carbonyl groups comprise
aldehyde groups,
ketone carbonyl groups, ester carbonyl groups, carboxyl groups or amido groups; and R5 has the
structural formula of # imgabs3 # X <-> which is an anion. Compared with the prior art, the catalyst disclosed by the invention is used for a bionic
aldol reaction of
amino acid derivatives to synthesize a series of beta-hydroxyl-alpha-
amino acid compounds with extremely high enantioselectivity.
