The effects of solvent on switchable stereoselectivity: copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate additions using D2-symmetric biphenyl phosphoramidite ligands
A highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed conjugateaddition of diethylzinc to acyclic aromatic enones was developed with phosphoramidite ligands bearing a D2-symmetric biphenyl backbone. This type of reaction demonstrated that toluene and THF solvents can completely reverse the absolute configuration of the products, thus simplifying the process of accessing either enantiomer (S: 92% ee, 94% yield;

cyclohexenone and chalcone in order to assess the structural features that are important for stereocontrol. A sterically demanding amine moiety is essential to reach high e.e.’s. Enantioselectivities for chalcones up to 89% and for cyclic enones up to 98% were found. Studies on non-linear effects with the best ligands for both cyclohexenone and chalcone showed clear non-linear effects for both cyclic
Switchable Stereoselectivity: The Effects of Substituents on the D2-Symmetric Biphenyl Backbone of Phosphoramidites in Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Conjugate Addition Reactions with Triethylaluminium
A highly enantioselective copper‐catalyzed conjugateaddition with triethylaluminium was developed using phosphoramidite ligands bearing a D2‐symmetric biphenylbackbone. For these ligands we demonstrated that the 3,3′,5,5′‐substituents on the biphenylbackbone can completely reverse the absolute configuration of the products.
Multinuclear Cu/Zn complex-catalyzed efficient asymmetric conjugateaddition of organozincreagents to acyclic and cyclic enones has been developed in the presence of a wide variety of regioisomeric chiral diols bearing phosphorus moieties as ligands. The regioisomeric SPINOL-PHOS ligands based on a SPINOL architecture showed an unexpected inversion of stereoselectivity.
Newly designed phosphino-phenol 1c was found to be an efficient chiral auxiliary for copper-mediated asymmetric conjugate addition of diethylzinc to acyclicenones. High enantioselectivity up to >99% ee was achieved in the reaction of acyclic α,β-enones.
