Versatile Enantioselective Synthesis of Functionalized Lactones via Copper-Catalyzed Radical Oxyfunctionalization of Alkenes
摘要:
A versatile method for the rapid synthesis of diverse enantiomerically enriched lactones has been developed based on Cu-catalyzed enantioselective radical oxyfunctionalization of alkenes. The scope of this strategy encompasses a series of enantioselective difunctionalization reactions: oxyazidation, oxysulfonylation, oxyarylation, diacyloxylation, and oxyalkylation. These reactions provide straightforward access to a wide range of useful chiral lactone building blocks containing tetrasubstituted stereogenic centers, which are hard to access traditionally.

Something radical: An efficient enantioselectiveoxytrifluoromethylation of alkenes has been developed using a copper catalyst system. Mechanistic studies are consistent with a metal‐catalyzed redoxradical addition mechanism in which a CO bond is formed by the copper‐mediated enantioselective trapping of a prochiral alkyl radicalintermediate derived from the initial trifluoromethyl radical addition

developed for the enantioselectivehalolactonization of (Z)‐1,3‐enynes and 1,1‐disubstituted alkenes. In the case of 1,3‐enynes, the carboxylate nucleophile and halogen electrophile were added to the conjugated π‐system from the same face. Up to 99 % ee was achieved for the 1,4‐syn‐bromolactonization of conjugated (Z)‐1,3‐enynes. Based on the results from the enynehalolactonization, a second generation
