Forging Fluorine‐Containing Quaternary Stereocenters by a Light‐Driven Organocatalytic Aldol Desymmetrization Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reported herein is a light-triggered organocatalytic strategy for the desymmetrization of achiral 2-fluoro-substituted cyclopentane-1,3-diketones. The chemistry is based on an intermolecular aldol reaction of photochemically generated hydroxy-o-quinodimethanes and simultaneously forges two adjacent fully substituted carbon stereocenters, with one bearing a stereogenic carbon-fluorine unit. The method uses readily available substrates, a simple chiral organocatalyst, and mild reaction conditions to afford an array of highly functionalized chiral 2-fluoro-3-hydroxycyclopentanones.

An enantioselective desymmetrization of prochiral 1,3-dinitropropanes has been developed which proceeds via enantiogroup differentiating organocatalytic allylic alkylation. Densely functionalized products with two vicinal stereocenters were obtained generally with good to excellent diastereoselectivity (up to >20 : 1 dr) and superb enantioselectivity (up to >99 : 1 er).

The catalytic addition of alkenes and amines (hydroamination) typically provides α- or β-amino stereocenters directly through C-N or C-H bond formation. Alternatively, desymmetrization reactions of symmetrical aminodialkenes or aminodialkynes provide access to stereogenic centers with the position controlled by the substrate's structure. In the present study of an enantioselective zirconium-cat...
