Homoallylboration and Homocrotylboration of Aldehydes
摘要:
A simple method for addition of homoallylic fragments to aldehydes is described. Cydopropanated allylboration reagents react with aldehydes in the presence of PhBCl2 to give high yields of bishomoallyl alcohols. Cyclopropanated cis- and trans-crotyl reagents afford the corresponding 1,3-anti- and 1,3-syn-methyl-substituted "homocrotylated" alcohols with high selectivity, consistent with a Zimmerman-Traxler transition state. Accordingly, the optically active alpha-substituted reactant affords the E-substituted product in 97:3 er.

Boron tris(trifluoroacetate) is identified as the first effective catalyst for the homoallyl- and homocrotylboration of aldehydes by cyclopropylcarbinylboronates. NMR spectroscopic studies and theoretical calculations of key intermediates and transition states both suggest that a ligand-exchange mechanism, akin to our previously reported PhBCl2-promoted homoallylations, is operative. Our experimental and theoretical results also suggest that the catalytic activity of boron tris(trifluoroacetate) might originate from more facile catalytic turnover of the trifluoroacetate ligands (in agreement with DFT calculations) or from a lower propensity for formation of off-pathway reservoir intermediates (as observed by H-1 NMR). This work shows that carboxylates are viable catalytic ligands for homoallyl- and homocrotylations of carbonyl compounds and opens the door to the development of catalytic asymmetric versions of this transformation.
