The enantioselective synthesis of axiallychiralbiaryls by a copper-catalyzed Diels–Alder/retro-Diels–Alder reaction of 2-pyrones with alkynes is reported herein. Using electron-deficient 2-pyrones and electron-rich 1-naphthyl acetylenes as the reaction partners, a broad range of axiallychiralbiaryl esters are obtained in excellent yields (up to 97% yield) and enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee)
A highly enantioselective and atom-economical [2 + 2] cycloaddition of various alkynes with trifluoropyruvate using a dicationic (S)-BINAP-Pd catalyst has been established. This is the first enantioselective synthesis of stable oxetene derivatives, whose structure has been clarified by X-ray analysis. This catalytic process offers a practical synthetic method for oxetene derivatives (catalyst loading:
