Atropo-enantioselective synthesis of an axially chiral C1-symmetric phosphine ligand and its application in the asymmetric hydrosilylation of styrenes
摘要:
The axially chiral monodentate phosphine P-8 was synthesized in enantiomerically pure form, starting from the readily available, configurationally unstable lactone 1. Furthermore, its application as a ligand in the Pd-catalyzed stereoselective hydrosilylation of styrenes was investigated. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Atropo-Diastereoselective Cleavage of Configurationally Unstable Biaryl Lactones with Alkali Metal Activated Primary 1-Arylethylamines
摘要:
The atropo-diastereoselective cleavage of lactone-bridged and thus configurationally unstable biaryls with chiral metal-activated 1-arylethylamines gives axially chiral biaryl amides in good yields and high atropo-diastereomeric ratios of up to 95:5. In this methodology, even the minor not desired rotational isomer can be recycled literally by recyclization back to the configurationally unstable lactone, and renewed stereoselective cleavage. Furthermore, by the use of the corresponding enantiomer of the N-nucleophile, the enantiomeric biaryl product is also attainable from the same lactone precursor ("atropo-divergence"). In addition, several methods have been developed to transform the amide function into a methyl or an aminomethylene group. All these options further enlarge the scope and the utility of the method elaborated.
