The 1,1‘-binaphthyl macrocycle (S)-2 is found to be an excellent catalyst for the alkyne addition to aldehydes. In the presence of (S)-2 (20 mol %) and Me2Zn (2 equiv) in THF at room temperature, the addition of phenylacetylene to linear or branched aliphatic aldehydes and vinylaldehydes gave various propargylic alcohols with 89−96% ee.
new chiral β-hydroxy amide ligands were synthesized via the reaction of benzyl chloride and aminoalcohols derived from l-tyrosine. The titanium(IV) complex of chiral ligand 8b was found to be an effective catalyst for the asymmetric alkynylation of aliphatic, vinyl and aromatic aldehydes. The propargyl alcohols were obtained in highly enantiomeric excesses (up to 96% ee) under optimized conditions.
A series of polymer‐supported chiral β‐hydroxy amides and C2‐symmetric β‐hydroxy amides have been synthesized and successfully used for the enantioselective addition of phenylacetylene to aldehydes. High yields (up to 93%) and enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee) were achieved by using polymer‐supported chiral β‐hydroxy amide 4b. The resin 4b is reused four times, giving the product with enantioselectivity

A good regio- and stereoselectivity was observed for the PdCl2-catalyzed cyclocarbonylation of 2-alkynols with CuCl2 affording (Z)-alpha-chloroalkylidene-beta-lactons. The highly optically active (Z)-alpha-chloroalkylidene-beta-lactones could be easily prepared from the readily available optically active propargylic alcohols. The Pd(II)-catalyzed cyclocarbonylation of 2-alkynols with CuBr2 was also studied. Although the yields of (Z)-alpha-bromoalkylidene-beta-lactones were low, due to the relatively higher activity of the C-Br bond, the coupling reactions of (Z)-alpha-bromoalkylidene-beta-lactones were quite smooth to afford the corresponding products in high yields. A rationale for this reaction is discussed.

We have designed and synthesized a new library of highly modular Schiff base-camphorsulfonyl amide ligands from readily available starting materials. These ligands have been used in the asymmetric addition of diethyl zinc to aldehydes in good yields (up to 91%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 93%). Moreover, when the ligands were used in the asymmetric addition of phenylacetylene to aldehydes, good yields and moderate to high ee values (up to 90%) were obtained. The introduction of the camphorsulfonyl moiety into the ligands is highly critical for the selectivities of the reactions. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
