CATALYTIC CARBOXYLATION OF ACTIVATED ALKANES AND/OR OLEFINS

Page/Page column 57; 62; 63; 65; 66, (2018/02/28)
The present invention relates to a method of reacting starting materials with an activating group, namely alkanes carrying a leaving group and/or olefins, with carbon dioxide under transition metal catalysis to give carboxyl group-containing products. It is a special feature of the method of the present invention that the carboxylation predominantly takes place at a preferred position of the molecule irrespective of the position of the activating group. The carboxylation position is either an aliphatic terminus of the molecule or it is a carbon atom adjacent to a carbon carrying an electron withdrawing group. The course of the reaction can be controlled by appropriately choosing the reaction conditions to yield the desired regioisomer.

Using readily accessible 10-sulfonamido-isoborneols as regenerable, chiral auxiliaries, highly face-selective C-C-bond formations at Cα and Cβ of carboxylates could be conveniently achieved.Thus, conjugated additions of RCu to enoates (1->2) furnished, after saponification, β-substituted carboxylic acids 3 in 94-98 percent e.e.Similarly, propionates 12 yielded after deprotonation, enolate alkylation, and reductive ester cleveage the (R)-alcohols 15 in 78-98 percent e.e.The acid (+)-3e was converted to the pheromone (-)-11.
