Dynamic kinetic asymmetric cross-benzoin additions of ?-stereogenic ?-keto esters.


ABSTRACT: The dynamic kinetic resolution of ?-halo ?-keto esters via an asymmetric cross-benzoin reaction is described. A chiral N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzes the umpolung addition of aldehydes to racemic ?-keto esters. The resulting fully substituted ?-halo glycolic ester products are obtained with high levels of enantio- and diastereocontrol. The high chemoselectivity observed is a result of greater electrophilicity of the ?-keto ester toward the Breslow intermediate. The reaction products are shown to undergo highly diastereoselective substrate-controlled reduction to give highly functionalized stereotriads.
