Catalytic asymmetric ?-alkylation of carbonyl compounds via stereoconvergent Suzuki cross-couplings.


ABSTRACT: With the aid of a chiral nickel catalyst, enantioselective ?- (and ?-) alkylations of carbonyl compounds can be achieved through the coupling of ?-haloamides with alkylboranes. In addition to primary alkyl nucleophiles, for the first time for an asymmetric cross-coupling of an unactivated alkyl electrophile, an arylmetal, a boronate ester, and a secondary (cyclopropyl) alkylmetal compound are shown to couple with significant enantioselectivity. A mechanistic study indicates that cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond of the electrophile is irreversible under the conditions for asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formation.
