An Enantioselective Synthesis of 2-Aryl Cycloalkanones by Sc-Catalyzed Carbon Insertion
摘要:
Current methods for asymmetric alpha-arylation require blocking groups to prevent reaction at the alpha'-carbon, basic conditions that promote racemization, or multistep synthesis. This work records the first catalytic enantioselective examples of the diazoalkane-carbonyl homologation reaction. Medium ring 2-aryl ketones are prepared in one step in up to 98:2 er and 99% yield from the unsubstituted lower homologue by Sc-catalyzed aryldiazomethyl insertion with simple bis- and tris(oxazoline) ligands.

Weak is powerful: For the arylation of tin enolates, the palladium catalyst engages in weak CHOhydrogen bonds to control stereoselectivity (see scheme). Similar catalysts capable of NHOhydrogenbonding also works well.

Functionalized α-tertiary and -quaternary 2-arylcycloalkanones are rapidly accessed by scandium(III) triflate-catalyzed diazoalkane-carbonyl homologations. Recent developments have allowed for carbon insertion reactions to be performed with catalyst loadings as low as 0.5 mol% on scales up to 5 mmol. Pairing readily available bis- and tris(oxazoline) based ligands with scandium triflate allows access to arylated medium ring carbocycles with enantioselectivities up to 98:2 er and >98% yield. The formal C-C insertion of aryldiazomethanes into unsubstituted cycloalkanones provides a single-step solution to the ongoing challenge of α-arylation.
