A novel enantioselective preparation of α-fluoro-β-keto acids
摘要:
A two-step method for the enantioselective preparation of alpha-fluorinated beta-keto acids from 1,3-dioxin-4-ones having l-menthone as the chiral auxiliary at the 2-position is described. The method consists of fluorination of the dioxinones by molecular fluorine and solvolytic cleavage of the acetal function.

We demonstrated the cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric α-fluorination and α-chlorination of β-ketoesters. Both reactions were achieved using a catalytic amount of Co(acac)2 with (R,R)-Jacobsen’s salen ligand; α-fluorinated or α-chlorinated products were thus obtained with a good enentioselectivity.
Novel chiral rare earth metal complexes bearing perfluorinated binaphthyl phosphate ligand RE[(R)-F8BNP](3) (RE = rare earth; F8BNP = 5,5',6,6',7,7'.8,8'-octafluoro-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2-diyl phosphate) have been synthesized and used as a catalyst for the asymmetric electrophilic fluorination reaction of beta-keto esters. The use of Sc[(R)-F8BNP](3) catalyst in combination with 1-fluoropyridinium triflate (NFPY-OTf) as a fluorinating agent was found to give the desired alpha-fluoro-beta-keto esters in high chemical yields and enantiomeric excesses (up to 88% ee) under mild conditions.
