The asym. Rh-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was originally developed by Mikami and co-workers but gives only moderate enantiomeric excesses. In order to understand the factors controlling the enantioselectivity and to propose novel ligands for this reaction, we have used computational and exptl. methods to study the Rh-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation with different bidentate ligands. The anal. of the C-CO2 bond formation transition states with DFT methods shows a preference for outer-sphere CO2 insertion, where CO2 can undergo a backside or frontside reaction with the nucleophile. The two ligands that prefer a frontside reaction, StackPhos and tBu-BOX, display an intriguing stacking interaction between CO2 and an N-heterocyclic ring of the ligand (imidazole or oxazoline). Our exptl. results support the computationally predicted low enantiomeric excesses and highlight the difficulty in developing a highly selective version of this reaction. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of (S)-5,5′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole(cas: 210169-54-3Application In Synthesis 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) 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.Application In Synthesis of (S)-5,5′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole
