Asymmetric Cascade Annulation Based on Enantioselective Oxa-Diels–Alder Cycloaddition of in Situ Generated Isochromenyliums by Cooperative Binary Catalysis of Pd(OAc)2 and (S)-Trip
摘要:
An asymmetric cascade annulation between 2-hydroxystyrenes and 2-alkynylbenaldehyes or 1-(2-alkynylphenyl)ketones has been established with good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99.5% ee), on the basis of an enantioselective oxa-Diels-Alder cycloaddition of in situ generated metallo-isochromenylium intermediates, by cooperative binary catalysis of Pd(OAc)(2) and (S)-Trip. The developed methodology is workable for a broad spectrum of substrates and shows great efficiency in establishing dense multiple chiral centers including quaternary carbons of variable bridged ring systems. The mechanism study suggests that (S)-Trip plays multiple roles in assembling the reactants and controlling the stereoselectivity.
