CuH-Catalyzed Asymmetric Reduction of ?,?-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids to ?-Chiral Aldehydes.


ABSTRACT: The copper hydride (CuH)-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acids to saturated aldehydes is reported. This protocol provides a new method to access a variety of ?-chiral aldehydes in good yields, with high levels of enantioselectivity and broad functional group tolerance. A reaction pathway involving a ketene intermediate is proposed based on preliminary mechanistic studies and density functional theory calculations.
