In 2022,Li, Guanlin; Zhao, Ling; Luo, Yicong; Peng, Youbin; Xu, Kai; Huo, Xiaohong; Zhang, Wanbin published an article in Chemistry – A European Journal. The title of the article was 《Stereodivergent Desymmetrization of Simple Dicarboxylates via Branch-Selective Pd/Cu Catalyzed Allylic Substitution》.Category: chiral-phosphine-ligands The author mentioned the following in the article:
Asym. desymmetrization has been demonstrated to be a powerful strategy for building stereocenters in asym. synthesis. Herein, a Pd/Cu catalyzed asym. desymmetrization reaction with a simple geminal dicarboxylate is reported. A wide scope of imino esters bearing an aryl or heteroaromatic group were compatible with this bimetallic catalytic system. The reactions proceeded smoothly, giving the desired products in good yields with high to excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity (up to 20 : 1 branched:linear, >20 : 1 dr, >99% ee). Notably, the reaction favored branched selectivity, which is unusual for the Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation reaction. In addition, the standard product could be easily transformed to other valuable mols. such as chiral allylic alcs., carbamates, and organic boron compounds Furthermore, DFT calculations were conducted to explain the origin of the branched selectivity. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of (S)-5,5′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole(cas: 210169-54-3Category: chiral-phosphine-ligands)
(S)-5,5′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole(cas: 210169-54-3) is a chelating ligand used to prepare coordination complex catalysts, such as its use in Pd catalysts for the enantioselective synthesis of spiro- or benzofused hetereocycles with exocyclic olefins via enantioselective intramolecular dearomative Heck reaction of indoles, benzofurans, pyrroles and furans.Category: chiral-phosphine-ligands
