Highly Selective Rhodium-Catalyzed Conjugate Addition Reactions of 4-Oxobutenamides
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]A variety of 4-oxobutenamides 1 were subjected to rhodium-catalyzed conjugate addition with arylboronic acids providing high regio- and enantioselectivity (97:3 to > 99:1, > 96% ee) and moderate to excellent yields (54-99%). The key to high selectivity is the use of sterically demanding P-chiral diphosphines, such as Tangphos or Duanphos. The product oxobutanamides 2 may be converted to alternate targets by selective derivatization of either the amide or ketone functional group. A stereochemical model predicting the absolute sense of induction was developed based on single-crystal X-ray structures of product and precatalyst.
