Allylic Substitution for Construction of a Chiral Quaternary Carbon Possessing an Aryl Group
摘要:
Phenylcopper reagents derived from 2:1 PhMgBr/Cu(acac)(2) and 3:1:1 PhMgBr/Cu(acac)(2)/ZnI2 were found to be highly reactive and regioselective in the allylic substitution of gamma,gamma-disubstituted secondary allylic picolinates designed for construction of a quaternary carbon, whereas the previous 2:1 ArMgBr/CuBr center dot Me2S reagent and that with ZnX2 were unsuccessful. The generality of the ArMgBr/Cu(acac)(2) reagent was examined with enantiomerically enriched allylic picolinates, which furnished quaternary carbons with high efficiency in >92% regioselectivity and >97% chirality transfer. Two cyclohexanes with a quaternary carbon were synthesized by using these reagents.
