Synthesis of Atropisomeric MeOBIPHEP Analogues and Their Application in Silver-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of Allenols
Keyword(s):
The preparation of novel MeOBIPHEP atropisomeric chiral congener ligands via an efficient palladium-catalyzed P–C coupling key step is described. We demonstrate that these palladium-catalyzed conditions are compatible with the brominated MeOBIPHEP backbone. The reaction conditions for asymmetric silver-catalyzed cycloisomerization of γ-allenols were optimized, leading to the first enantioselective catalytic system employing atropisomeric diphosphine ligands as the chiral inducer. The process follows a major 5-exo cyclization via addition of the alcohol moiety to the π-activated allenyl intermediate, leading to vinyltetrahydrofurans with enantiomeric ratios up to 91.5:8.5.
