The well-known Corey–Bakshi–Shibata (CBS) reduction is a powerful method for the asymmetric synthesis of alcohols from prochiral ketones, often featuring high yields and excellent selectivities. While steric repulsion has been regarded as the key director of the observed high enantioselectivity for many years, we show that London dispersion (LD) interactions are at least as important for enantiodiscrimination. We exemplify this through a combination of detailed computational and experimental studies for a series of modified CBS catalysts equipped with dispersion energy donors (DEDs) in the catalysts and the substrates. Our results demonstrate that attractive LD interactions between the catalyst and the substrate, rather than steric repulsion, determine the selectivity. As a key outcome of our study, we were able to improve the catalyst design for some challenging CBS reductions.

2,2,2-Trichloroacetophenone derivatives were synthesized via decarboxylative trichlorination from arylpropiolic acids and trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA). The reaction was performed in the presence of water at room temperature, and the desired products were obtained in good yields. The reaction showed good functional group tolerance towards halide, cyano, nitro, ketone, ester and aldehyde groups. In addition, the 2,2,2-trichloroacetophenone derivatives were readily transformed into esters, amides, and hydrazides. Based on experiments with H218O (water-18O), we proposed a cationic reaction pathway as the mechanism and suggested two different pathways for producing aryl- and alkyl-substituted propiolic acids.
