Asymmetric α-allylic allenylation of β-ketocarbonyls and aldehydes by synergistic Pd/chiral primary amine catalysis

Abstract We herein describe an asymmetric α-allylic allenylation of β-ketocarbonyls and aldehydes with 1,3-enynes. A synergistic chiral primary amine/Pd catalyst was identified to facilitate the utilization of 1,3-enynes as atom-economic and achiral allene precursors. The synergistic catalysis enabl...

description Abstract We herein describe an asymmetric α-allylic allenylation of β-ketocarbonyls and aldehydes with 1,3-enynes. A synergistic chiral primary amine/Pd catalyst was identified to facilitate the utilization of 1,3-enynes as atom-economic and achiral allene precursors. The synergistic catalysis enables the construction of all-carbon quaternary centers-tethered allenes bearing non-adjacent 1,3-axial central stereogenic centers in high level of diastereo- and enantio-selectivity. By switching the configurations of ligands and aminocatalysts, diastereodivergence can be achieved and any of the four diastereoisomers can be accessed in high diastereo- and enantio- selectivity.
