Benzylic alcohols and ethers are common subunits in bioactive molecules, as well as useful intermediates in organic chemistry. In this Communication, we describe a new approach to the enantioselective synthesis of benzylic ethers through the chiral phosphine-catalyzed coupling of two readily available partners, γ-aryl-substituted alkynoates and alcohols, under mild conditions. In this process, the alkynoate partner undergoes an internal redox reaction. Specifically, the benzylic position is oxidized with good enantioselectivity, and the alkyne is reduced to the alkene.

Hydrogen-bond (HB)-donor catalysts that bear a 2-aminoquinazolin-4-(1H)-one or a 3-aminobenzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxide skeleton have been developed, and it has been shown that these catalyst motifs act similarly to other HB-donor catalysts such as thioureas. The highly enantioselective hydrazination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds was realized even at room temperature with up to 96 % ee for 2-aminoquinazolin-4-(1H)-one-type catalysts, which were more effective than the corresponding urea and thiourea catalysts. In addition, benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxide-type catalysts were shown to promote the isomerization of alkynoates to allenoates with high enantioselectivity. To overcome the problem that the products were obtained as mixtures with the starting alkynoates, we developed the tandem isomerization and cycloaddition of alkynoates for the synthesis of advanced chiral compounds such as bicyclo[2.2.1]heptenes and 3-alkylidene pyrrolidine without a significant loss of enantioselectivity.
