An efficient, palladium-catalyzed, enantioselective synthesis of (2R)-3-butene-1,2-diol and its use in highly selective Heck reactions.


ABSTRACT: A robust and scalable procedure for the palladium-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation of 3,4-epoxy-1-butene into (2R)-3-butene-1,2-diol with water as the cosolvent is reported. Examination of the effects of solvent and temperature led to the identification of conditions that permitted use of 0.025 mol % catalyst, providing (2R)-3-butene-1,2-diol in 84% isolated yield and 85% enantiomeric excess. Subsequent Heck reactions with a diverse range of coupling partners are described and the influence of their electronic nature on maintaining the enantiopurity of the diol is discussed.
