Catalytic asym. addition to non-resonance-stabilized oxocarbenium ions has remained a formidable challenge. Herein, a nickel(II)-catalyzed asym. alkylation of non-resonance-stabilized, five-membered oxocarbenium ions generated in situ from 2-alkoxy tetrahydrofurans I (R = Et, n-Pn, Bn, t-Bu) with a broad range of carboxylic acid derivatives II (X = O, S; R1 = 4-fluorophenyl, naphthalen-1-yl, pent-1-en-1-yl, etc.) was disclosed. The reaction exhibits high efficiency, excellent enantioselectivity, and good functional group tolerance, and can be conducted on a large scale. Aside from five-membered oxocarbenium ions, six-membered 2-(pentyloxy)oxane and acyclic aliphatic species such as 1,1-dimethoxyhexane, Me 5,5-dimethoxyvalerate were also well tolerated with excellent enantiocontrol, thus providing a practical and robust method to access enantiopure α-alkyl substituted saturated ethers e.g., III. After reading the article, we found that the author used (S)-5,5′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole(cas: 210169-54-3Quality Control of (S)-5,5′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole)
(S)-5,5′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole(cas: 210169-54-3) may be used for: regio- and stereoselective preparation of axially chiral arylnaphthalene derivatives via rhodium-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition of diynes with naphthalenepropynoic acid derivatives or diastereo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of α-amino-β-keto ester hydrochlorides catalyzed by an iridium complex.Quality Control of (S)-5,5′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole
