Enantioselective Benzylation and Allylation of ?-Trifluoromethoxy Indanones under Phase-Transfer Catalysis.


ABSTRACT: The organo-catalyzed enantioselective benzylation reaction of ?-trifluoromethoxy indanones afforded ?-benzyl-?-trifluoromethoxy indanones with a tetrasubstituted stereogenic carbon center in excellent yield with moderate enantioselectivity (up to 57% ee). Cinchona alkaloid-based chiral phase transfer catalysts were found to be effective for this transformation, and both enantiomers of ?-benzyl-?-trifluoromethoxy indanones were accessed, depended on the use of cinchonidine and cinchonine-derived catalyst. The method was extended to the enantioselective allylation reaction of ?-trifluoromethoxy indanones to give the allylation products in moderate yield with good enantioselectivity (up to 76% ee).
