The Cu-catalyzed reaction of substituted α-diazoesters with fluoride gives α-fluoroesters with ee values of up to 95 %, provided that chiral indane-derived bis(oxazoline) ligands are used that carry bulky benzyl substituents at the bridge and moderately bulky isopropyl groups on their core. The apparently homogeneous solution of CsF in C6F6/hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is the best reaction medium, but CsF in the biphasic mixture CH2Cl2/HFIP also provides good results. DFT studies suggest that fluoride initially attacks the Cu- rather than the C-atom of the transient donor/acceptor carbene intermediate. This unusual step is followed by 1,2-fluoride shift; for this migratory insertion to occur, the carbene must rotate about the Cu?C bond to ensure orbital overlap. The directionality of this rotatory movement within the C2-symmetric binding site determines the sense of induction. This model is in excellent accord with the absolute configuration of the resulting product as determined by X-ray diffraction using single crystals of this a priori wax-like material grown by capillary crystallization.

Transition-metal-catalyzed radical relay coupling reactions have recently emerged as one of the most powerful methods to achieve difunctionalization of olefins. However, there has been limited success in applying this method to asymmetric catalysis using an effective chiral ligand. Herein we report the Cu-catalyzed enantioselective alkylarylation of vinylarenes using alkylsilyl peroxides as alkyl radical sources. This reaction proceeds under practical reaction conditions and affords chiral 1,1-diarylalkane structures that are found in a variety of bioactive molecules. Notably, a highly enantioselective reaction was accomplished by combining chiral bis(oxazoline) ligands with chiral binaphthyl scaffolds.
