Chiral Bifunctional Phosphine Ligand-Enabled Cooperative Cu Catalysis: Formation of Chiral α,β-Butenolides via Highly Enantioselective γ-Protonation.


ABSTRACT: α,β-Butenolides with ≥96% enantiomeric excess are synthesized from β,γ-butenolides via a novel Cu(I)-ligand cooperative catalysis. The reaction is enabled by a chiral biphenyl-2-ylphosphine ligand featuring a remote tertiary amino group. Density functional theory studies support the cooperation between the metal center and the ligand basic amino group during the initial soft deprotonation and the key asymmetric γ-protonation. Remarkably, other coinage metals, that is, Ag and Au, can readily assume the same role as Cu in this asymmetric isomerization chemistry.
