Copper-catalyzed desymmetrization of oxabenzonorbornadienes with aluminum reagents
摘要:
The desymmetrization of oxabenzonorbornadienes with aluminum reagents and SimplePhos as chiral ligand is described. The corresponding homoallylic alcohols are obtained in high yield, diastereoselectivity, and enantiomeric excess. Furthermore the first anti enantioselective desymmetrization with aromatic nucleophiles is reported. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

they can be highly functionalised. Herein we report the copper‐catalysed asymmetricconjugateaddition of diethyl zinc and trialkylaluminium reagents with SimplePhos ligands, which gives high enantioselectivity with cyclic enones, acyclic enones and nitro‐olefins, with up to 98.6 % ee. Of particular interest is the reaction of trialkylaluminium reagents with a wide range of 3‐substituted enones, thus
