A catalytic asymmetric conjugate arylation of acyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones with arylboronicacids was catalyzed by 3 mol% of chiral amidomonophosphane 1-rhodium(I) in the presence of potassium hydroxide in a mixture of 1,4-dioxane and water at 70 degrees C to afford 1,4-conjugate arylated acyclic ketones with high enantiomeric excess in high chemical yield. Thirteen examples of the reaction
Asymmetric 1,4-addition of [ArBF3]K to cyclic and acyclic enones was carried out in aqueous methanol in the presence of a chiral phosphine-dicationic palladium(II) catalyst. A palladium complex of (S,S)-dipamp gave optically active β-arylketones of up to 96 % ee for 2-cyclohexenone and 2-cycloheptenone. A palladium-(S,S)-chiraphos complex resulted in 82–97 % ee for 2-cyclopentenone and acyclic enones.
synthetic route to Chiraphos derivatives through Rh/Ph-bod catalyzedasymmetric addition of aryl boronic acids to phosphinyl dienes. Various substituted phosphinyl dienes, both on the parent skeleton and the phosphine atoms, were well tolerated with this method and provided chiral phosphine oxides in satisfied yield and up to 95% ee. The corresponding Chiraphos derivative displayed an advantage over
