A modular, selective approach to complex α-tertiary substituted malononitriles is reported. The method takes advantage of β-ester-substituted α,α-dinitrile alkenes as highly reactive, chemoselective electrophiles for 1,4-additions with organometallic nucleophiles to produce functionally and sterically dense all-carbon quaternary centers. In the presence of a chiral ester auxiliary bearing an aromatic ring, the 1,4-addition occurs with good to excellent selectivity due to favorable cation-π interactions. The highly functionalized malononitriles represent versatile building blocks and can be applied toward efficient, highly selective syntheses of 5,5-disubstituted pyrrolopyrimidinones.

A series of phenyldiazoacetates 3 derived from enantiomerically pure alcohols ((-)-borneol, (+)-menthol, (-)-menthol, (-)-8-phenylmenthol, (-)-trans-2-phenylcyclohexanol, (+)-trans-2-phenyl-cyclohexanol, and (-)-10-(dicyclohexylsulfamoyl)-D-isoborneol) were prepared from the corresponding α-keto esters 1 by way of the tosylhydrazones 2.Rhodium(II)-catalyzed decomposition of the diazoacetates 3 in the presence of water or alcohols resulted in carbenoid O-H insertion reactions to give the corresponding 2-hydroxy- or 2-alkoxyphenylacetates in good yield, but with varying degrees of diastereoselectivity.A range of rhodium(II) and other metal catalysts were investigated, with rhodium(II) acetate and rhodium(II) acetamide giving the best results.The stereochemistry of the major diastereomer was proved in most cases by independent synthesis from a mandelic acid derivative of known configuration.Possible mechanisms are discussed.

trans-2-Phenylcyclohexanol has been used as a chiral auxiliary for the preparation of α- and β-hydroxy acids in 85 - 100 percent and 11 - 89 percent enantiomeric purities respectively.
