Chiral gold(I) catalysts have been designed based on a modified JohnPhos ligand with a distal C2-2,5-diarylpyrrolidine that creates a tight binding cavity. The C2-chiral element is close to where the C-C bond formation takes place in cyclizations of 1,6-enynes. These chiral mononuclear catalysts have been applied for the enantioselective 5-exo-dig and 6-endo-dig cyclization of different 1,6-enynes as well as in the first enantioselective total synthesis of three members of the carexane family of natural products. Opposite enantioselectivities have been achieved in seemingly analogous reactions of 1,6-enynes, which result from different chiral folding of the substrates based on attractive aryl-aryl interactions.

Readily available phosphoramidites incorporating TADDOL-related diols with an acyclic backbone turned out to be excellent ligands for asymmetric gold catalysis, allowing a number of mechanistically different transformations to be performed with good to outstanding enantioselectivities. This includes [2 + 2] and [4 + 2] cycloadditions of ene-allenes, cycloisomerizations of enynes, hydroarylation reactions with formation of indolines, as well as intramolecular hydroaminations and hydroalkoxylations of allenes. Their preparative relevance is underscored by an application to an efficient synthesis of the antidepressive drug candidate (-)-GSK 1360707. The distinctive design element of the new ligands is their acyclic dimethyl ether backbone in lieu of the (isopropylidene) acetal moiety characteristic for traditional TADDOLs. Crystallographic data in combination with computational studies allow the efficiency of the gold complexes endowed with such one-point binding ligands to be rationalized.
