A method for enantioselective desymmetrization of 1,1-diborylalkanes through a stereoselective Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling has been thoroughly optimized. The most effective ligand was found to be a α,α,α,α-tetra-aryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimet

Because of the high reactivity of Grignard reagents, a direct, highly enantioselective Grignard reaction with aldehydes has rarely been disclosed. In this report, Grignard reagents were introduced with bis[2-(N,N′- dimethylamino)ethyl] ether (BDMAEE) to effectively deactivate their reactivity; thus, a highly enantioselective alkylation of aldehydes with Grignard reagents resulted from catalysis by (S)-BINOL-Ti(OiPr)2. It is thought that BDMAEE chelates the in situ generated salts MgBr2 from a Schlenk equilibrium of RMgBr and Mg(OiPr)Br from transmetalation of RMgBr with Ti(OiPr)4. The Mg salts can actively promote the undesired background reaction to give the racemate. The chelation definitely inhibits the catalytic activity of the Mg salts, suppresses the unwanted background reaction, and enables the highly enantioselective addition catalyzed by (S)-BINOL-Ti(OiPr)2. Consequently, the Mg salt byproducts were not removed, less Ti(OiPr)4 than RMgBr was used, and extremely low temperature was avoided in this catalytic asymmetric reaction in comparison with the research disclosed before. Various alkyl Grignard reagents were investigated in the asymmetric addition, and iBuMgBr resulted in the highest enantioselectivity, >99%. Furthermore, important intermediate secondary arylpropanols for chiral drug synthesis were effectively synthesized with high enantioselectivity, up to 97%, in one step.
