Résumé

The fluorine atom is a powerful, yet enigmatic influence on chemical reactions. True to form, fluorine was recently discovered to effect diastereodivergence in an enantioselective aza-Henry reaction, resulting in a very rare case of syn-β-amino nitroalkane products. More bewildering was the observation of an apparent hierarchy of substituents within this substrate-controlled behavior: Ph>F>alkyl. These cases have now been examined comprehensively by computational methods, including both non-fluorinated and α-fluoro nitronate additions to aldimines catalyzed by a chiral bis(amidine) [BAM] proton complex. This study revealed the network of non-covalent interactions that dictate anti- (α-aryl) versus syn-selectivity (α-alkyl) using α-fluoronitronate nucleophiles, and an underlying secondary orbital interaction between fluorine and the activated azomethine.
