β-Substituted aldehydes constitute a very important class of compounds found in nature. Synthesis of this motif can be envisioned by C-C bond formation on enals. For this purpose, we report herein the development of enantioselective copper-catalyzed conjugate addition of various organometallic reagents to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with (R)-H8BINAP, (R)-TolBINAP, and (R)-SEGPHOS as chiral ligands. Three sets of conditions were successfully developed and several enals were used. Reactivity and regio- and enantioselectivities were strongly dependent on reaction conditions and substrates. Good to excellent regio- and enantioselectivities were obtained with zinc reagents R2Zn and aluminum reagents R3Al. However, the asymmetric conjugate addition of Grignard reagents afforded only moderate to good regio- and enantioselectivities.

We report herein the enantioselective Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition of organometallic reagents to sensitive Michael acceptors and their application to the synthesis of relevant target molecules. This is one of the most important methodologies to form a C-C bond in an enantioselective manner. A wide range of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and β,γ-unsaturated-α- ketoesters has been successfully used. Reactivity, regioand enantioselectivities were strongly dependent on the reaction conditions, therefore moderate to very good results were obtained. Furthermore, γ-substituted-α-ketoesters were used as chiral building blocks for further derivatization with complete retention of the chiral information to obtain key compounds.

Figure presented The first asymmetric Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition of dialkylzinc zinc reagents to a large scope of enals in presence of phosphoramidite, SimplePhos, or (R)-BINAP ligands with enantiomeric excesses up to 90% is reported. Moreover, ACA of Grignard reagents afforded moderate to good 1,4-regioselectivities with enantioselectivities up to 90%.
Hydride reduction of alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds using chiral organic catalysts

Page/Page column 21, (2008/06/13)
Nonmetallic, chiral organic catalysts are used to catalyze the 1,4-hydride reduction of an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound. The α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound may be an aldehyde or cyclic ketone, and the hydride donor may be a dihydropyridine. The reaction is enantioselective, and proceeds with a variety of hydride donors, catalysts, and substrates. The invention also provides compositions effective in carrying out the 1,4-hydride addition of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.

The first enantioselective organocatalytic hydride reduction has been accomplished. The use of iminium catalysis has provided a new organocatalytic strategy for the enantioselective reduction of β,β-substituted αβ-unsaturated aldehydes to generate β-stereogenic aldehydes. The use of imidazolidinone 2 as the asymmetric catalyst has been found to mediate the transfer of hydrogen to a large class of enal substrates from ethyl Hantzsch ester. The capacity of catalyst 2 to accelerate E-Z isomerization prior to selective E-olefin reduction allows the implementation of geometrically impure enals in this operationally simple protocol.

Enantioselective activation of ethers by chiral organoaluminum reagents: Application to asymmetric Claisen rearrangement
Maruoka,Banno,Yamamoto
, p. 647 - 662 (2007/10/02)
The asymmetric Claisen rearrangement of allyl vinyl ethers has been effected with a chiral organoaluminum reagent, (R)-1 or (S)-1 as an example of the enantioselectie activation of ether substrates. This method provides a facile asymmetric synthesis of various acylsilanes and acylgermanes with high optical purity. Among various trialkylsilyl substituents of chiral organoaluminum reagent 1, use of the more bulky t-butyldiphenylsilyl group exhibits the highest enantioselectivity. The conformational analysis of two possible chairlike transition-state structures of an allyl vinyl ether substrate reveals that a chiral organoaluminum reagent 1 can discriminate between these two conformations only by a difference in the orientation of α-methylene groups of ethers.
