Catalytic Asymmetric beta-Oxygen Elimination
ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION(2022)
摘要
A catalytic enantioselective beta-O-elimination reaction is reported in the form of a zirconium-catalyzed asymmetric opening of meso-ketene acetals. Furthermore, a regiodivergent beta-O-elimination is demonstrated. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, at low catalyst loadings, and produces chiral monoprotected cis-1,2-diols in good yield and enantiomeric excess. The combination with a Mitsunobu reaction or a one-pot hydroboration/Suzuki reaction sequence then gives access to additional diol and aminoalcohol building blocks. A stereochemical analysis supported by DFT calculations reveals that a high selectivity in the hydrozirconation step is also important for achieving high enantioselectivity, although it does not constitute the asymmetric step. This insight is crucial for the future development of related asymmetric beta-elimination reactions.
