Chiral sulfones are important structural motifs in organic synthesis because of their widespread use in pharmaceutical chemistry. In particular, chiral allylic sulfones have drawn particular interest because of their synthetic utility. However, enantioselective synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted unsymmetrical chiral allylic sulfones remains a challenge. In this article, we report a protocol for (R)-DTBM-Segphos/Pd-catalyzed regio- A nd enantioselective hydrosulfonylation of 1,3-dienes with sulfinic acids, which provides atom- A nd step-economical access to 1,3-disubstituted chiral allylic sulfones. The reaction occurs under mild conditions and has a broad substrate scope. Combined experimental and computational studies suggest that the reaction is initiated by a ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer followed by a C-S bond reductive elimination via a six-membered transition state. Steric repulsion between the olefinic C-H of the substrate and the tert-butyl group of (R)-DTBM-Segphos was found to be a key factor in the enantiocontrol.

We describe the highly selective palladium catalyzed kinetic resolutions of the racemic cyclic allylic carbonates rac-1a-c and racemic acyclic allylic carbonates rac-3aa and rac-3ba through reaction with tert-butylsulfinate, tolylsulfinate, phenylsulfinate anions and 2-pyrimidinethiol by using N,N′-(1R,2R)-1,2-cyclohexanediylbis[2-(di-phenylphosphino)-benzamide] (BPA) as ligand. Selectivities are expressed in yields and ee values of recovered substrate and product and in selectivity factors S. The reaction of the cyclohexenyl carbonate 1a (≥99% ee) with 2-pyrimidinethiol in the presence of BPA was shown to exhibit, under the conditions used, an overall pseudo-zero order kinetics in regard to the allylic substrate. Also described are the highly selective palladium catalyzed asymmetric syntheses of the cyclic and acyclic allylic tert-butylsulfones 2aa, 2b, 2c, 2d and 4 a - c, respectively, and of the cyclic and acyclic allylic 2-pyrimidyl-, 2-pyridyl-, and 4-chlorophenylsulfides 5aa, 5b, 5ab, 6aa - ac, 6ba and 6bb, respectively, from the corresponding racemic carbonates and sulfinate anions and thiols, respectively, in the presence of BPA. Synthesis of the E-configured allylic sulfides 6aa, 6ab, 6ac and 6bb was accompanied by the formation of minor amounts of the corresponding Z isomers. The analogous synthesis of allylic tert-butylsulfides from allylic carbonates and tert-butylthiol by using BPA could not be achieved. Reaction of the cyclopentenyl esters rac-1da and rac-1db with 2-pyrimidinethiol gave the allylic sulfide 5c having only a low ee value. Similar results were obtained in the case of the reaction of the cyclohexenyl carbonate rac-1a and of the acyclic carbonates rac-3aa and rac-3ba with 2-pyridinethiol and lead to the formation of the sulfides 5 ab, 6 ab, and 6 bb, respectively. The low ee values may be ascribed to the operating of a "memory effect", that is, both enantiomers of the substrate give the substitution product with different enantioselectivities. However, in the reaction of the racemic carbonate rac-1 a as well as of the highly enriched enantiomers la (≥99% ee) and ent-1a (≥99% ee) with 2-pyrimidinethiol the ee values of the substrates and the substitution product remained constant until complete conversion. Similar results were obtained in the reaction of the cyclic carbonates rac-1a, ent-1a (≥99% ee) and ent-1c (≥99% ee) with lithium tert-butylsulfinate. Thus, in the case of rac-1a and 2-pyrimidinthiol and tert-butylsulfinate anion as nucleophiles the enantioselectivity of the substitution step is, under the conditions used, independent of the chirality of the substrate; this shows that no "memory effect" is operating in this case. Hydrolysis of the carbonates ent-1a-c, ent-3aa and ent-3ba, which were obtained through kinetic resolution, afforded the enantiomerically highly enriched cyclic allylic alcohols 9a-c (≥99% ee) and acyclic allylic alcohols 10a (≥99% ee) and 10b (99% ee), respectively.
