Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of C 1‐ and C 2‐Symmetric Spirobiindanones through Counterion‐Directed Enolate C‐Acylation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A catalytic enantioselective route to C1 - and C2 -symmetric 2,2'-spirobiindanones has been realized through an intramolecular enolate C-acylation. This reaction employs a chiral ammonium counterion to direct the acylation of an in situ generated ketone enolate with a pentafluorophenyl ester. This reaction constitutes the first example of a direct catalytic enantioselective C-acylation of a ketone and provides an efficient and highly enantioselective route to axially chiral spirobiindanediones. These products can be diastereoselectively derivatized, offering access to a range of functionalized spirocyclic architectures.

The synthesis of stereogenic all-carbon quaternary centers remains a formidable challenge, notwithstanding the strides made by modern organic chemistry in this regard [1]. Contemporary advances in enolate alkylation havemade it a fundamental strategy for the construction of C–C bonds [2]. Although methods for the reaction of a number of enolate types (e.g., ester, ketone, and propionimide) with...

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-ke...
