Enantioface-Selective Palladium-Catalyzed Silaboration of Allenes via Double Asymmetric Induction
摘要:
Enantioenriched beta-borylallylsilanes were synthesized by palladium-catalyzed enantioface-selective addition of the silicon-boron bond to terminal allenes using a palladium catalyst possessing a chiral monodentate phosphine ligand. Use of a silylborane bearing a chiral auxiliary on the boron atom was beneficial to gain enantioface selectivities as high as 96% de.
Several representative silylboranes, including B-(phenyldimethylsilyl)catecholborane (7), were prepared and their reactivity explored. The reaction of silylboranes with either vinyllithium or lithium acetylide generated the corresponding silylborates which rearrange upon treatment with I-2, producing the vinyl-silane and silyl acetylide, respectively. The reaction of 7 with ethyl diazoacetate yielded ethyl (phenyldimethylsilyl)acetate upon hydrolysis.
