Enantioselective Synthesis of Optically Active 3,3-Diarylpropanoates by Conjugate Hydrosilylation with Chiral Rh-bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl Catalysts
摘要:
Conjugate hydrosilylation of 3,3-diarylacrylate derivatives catalyzed by chiral rhodium-bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl complexes (1 mol %) at 60 degrees C for 2 h was investigated to prepare optically active 3,3-diarylpropanoate derivatives in high yields up to 99% yield and high enantioselectivities up to 99%.
A series of novel chiral diene ligands (1R,4S)-L1, which are based on the bicyclo[2.2.1]heptadiene skeleton and are substituted with methyl and an ester group at the bridgehead carbons, were synthesized through rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylative bis-cyclization of 1,6-enyne 1 as a key step. The rhodium catalyst with one of the (1R,4S)-L1 ligands was used for the asymmetric bis-cyclization of 1
