Enantioselective decarboxylative alkylation reactions: catalyst development, substrate scope, and mechanistic studies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
α-Quaternary ketones are accessed through novel enantioselective alkylations of allyl and propargyl electrophiles by unstabilized prochiral enolate nucleophiles in the presence of palladium complexes with various phosphinooxazoline (PHOX) ligands. Excellent yields and high enantiomeric excesses are obtained from three classes of enolate precursor: enol carbonates, enol silanes, and racemic β-ketoesters. Each of these substrate classes functions with nearly identical efficiency in terms of yield and enantioselectivity. Catalyst discovery and development, the optimization of reaction conditions, the exploration of reaction scope, and applications in target-directed synthesis are reported. Experimental observations suggest that these alkylation reactions occur through an unusual inner-sphere mechanism involving binding of the prochiral enolate nucleophile directly to the palladium center.

Highly enantioselective phase-transfer alkylation of 3-substituted-2-oxindoles with activated bromomethanes is disclosed with a broad substrate scope by using bicyclic guanidinium as a catalyst and a Lewis acid as the co-catalyst. The alkylation adducts are versatile intermediates to accomplish the syntheses of pyrroloindolines and furoindolines.

The first general method for the enantioselective construction of all-carbon quaternary centers on cyclopentanones by enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation is described. Employing the electronically modified (S)-(p-CF3)3-t-BuPHOX ligand, α-quaternary cyclopentanones were isolated in yields up to >99% with ee's up to 94%. Additionally, in order to facilitate lar...
متن کاملDevelopment of ruthenium catalysts for the enantioselective synthesis of P-stereogenic phosphines via nucleophilic phosphido intermediates.
This work details the development of ruthenium(II) catalysts for the enantioselective alkylation of chiral racemic secondary phosphines. The reactions proceed through the intermediacy of nucleophilic phosphido species, which have low barriers to pyramidal inversion; this allows for a dynamic kinetic asymmetric alkylation. The initially discovered [((R)-iPr-PHOX)(2)Ru(H)][BPh(4)] (6) catalyst wa...
