Evidence for Ca-Phosphate Complex andProposed Transition State
• Salt generated in situ and detected by FAB-HRMS (m/z for [Ca[1a]2]+ calc: 1543.3736, found: 1543.3749).• Oligomeric structure postulated based on 31P NMR in CD2Cl2 showed a broad peak at 0.05 ppm.• After adding substrates to the in situ generated catalyst, 31P NMR showed a sharp singlet at 4.55 ppm suggesting a monomeric structure of Ca[1a]2.• Other potential active catalysts ruled out such as:
- Ca[1a] salt- Ca-free acid (2.02 ppm)- Ca-enolate
• Transition state proposed:- Half-piped groove formed around Ca-center - Pronucleophile is activated by Brønsted basic P=O moiety- Aldimine activated by Lewis acidic Ca-center- re-face attack favored resulting in R productsO
