occurrence of chiral induction involving a hydrogen–hydrogen interaction between a hydride on the iridium atom and the substituent on the oxazoline ring of the ligand, and on the basis of the calculations, we proposed a catalytic cycle involving only Ir(III), which differs from the Ir(III)/Ir(V) catalytic cycle that operates in the hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids.

A chiral iridium complex formed in situ from [Ir(cod)Cl](2) and (R)-H-8-BINAP is found to catalyze the direct enantioselective C C coupling of a simple propargyl ether, TIPSOCH2C CH, with primary alcohols to form gamma-hydroxy (Z)-enol silanes with uniformly high enantioselectivity and complete alkene (Z)-stereo-selectivity. As corroborated by deuterium labeling studies, these studies represent the first examples of 1,2-hydride shift-enabled pi-allyl formation in the context of iridium catalysis.

A new and efficient process for the conversion of terminal epoxides to gamma-butanolides is described involving Lewis acid promoted epoxide ring-opening by 1-morpholino-2-trimethylsilyl acetylene. Addition of a terminal epoxide to a solution of the ynamine and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate in dichloromethane at 0 degrees C rapidly affords a cyclic keteneaminal that can be hydrolyzed and protodesilylated under mild conditions to provide the corresponding gamma-butanolide in high yield. The net transformation is equivalent to an acetate enolate opening of terminal epoxides. The formation of a cyclic keteneaminal as the direct addition product was observed by monitoring of the reaction by IR and NMR spectroscopy. Functionalized gamma-lactones were prepared by the interception of the reactive cyclic keteneaminal prior to hydrolysis. Reactions with enantiomerically enriched terminal epoxides provide the corresponding gamma-butanolides without loss of optical activity. The compatibility of the present methodology with a wide range of functional groups is noteworthy.
