Compared to enantioselective Friedel-Crafts reactions of indoles, reactions of alkylidene malonates with monocyclic aromatic compounds generally proceed with low enantioselectivity. The Friedel-Crafts reactions of ethenetricarboxylates 1 and monocyclic heteroaromatic compounds, such as substituted pyrroles and furans were investigated. The reaction of 1 with 2,4-dimethylpyrrole in the presence of a chiral bis-oxazoline-copper(II) complex (10 mol %) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature gave alkylated products in up to 72% ee. The reaction of 1 with 2-substituted furans gave alkylated products in 46-62% ee. The absolute stereochemistry of the furan Friedel-Crafts product 7e was determined by transformation to the known 2,3-dimethylbutyric acid. The intramolecular reaction of benzene derivatives gave cyclized products up to 56% ee. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
