Rhodium-Mediated Enantioselective Cyclopropanation of Allenes
摘要:
Reaction of monosubstituted allenes with aryldiazoacetate esters under dirhodium tetracarboxylate catalysis led to alkylidene cyclopropane products in 80-90% ee. Monosubstituted alkyl- and arylallene substrates gave 60-75% yield under standard conditions, while yields for 1,1-disubstituted allenes were significantly lower. Cyclopropanation of 1-methyl-1-(trimethylsilyl)allene proceeded in higher yield than other 1,1-disubstituted substrates, suggesting rate enhancement mediated by a significant beta-silicon effect.

cyclopropanations. Relative reaction rates for aliphatic allenes were found to be similar to those for aryl-substituted allenes, but silicon substitution was found to give a 5- to 14-fold rate increase. The rate enhancement effect for 1-silyl allenes can partially make up for loss of rate and regioselectivity, with 1-trimethylsilyl-1,2-butadiene exhibiting high levels of enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity
