Ruthenium(ii)-catalyzed regioselective 1,6-conjugate addition of umpolung aldehydes as carbanion equivalents.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: One of the most efficient and reliable approaches to construct C-C bonds involves the conjugate addition of carbon nucleophiles to electron-deficient ketones. Yet, 1,6-conjugate additions of extended conjugated systems largely remain underexplored due to difficulties in controlling the regioselectivity. Herein, we report umpolung aldehydes as carbanion equivalents for highly regioselective 1,6-conjugate addition reactions to unsaturated ketones, with preliminary studies of the enantioselective variant. The synergy of ruthenium(ii) catalyst and electron-rich, bidentate phosphine ligand is essential for the reactivity and selectivity under mild reaction conditions.
