Herein we report the enantioselective Heck-Matsuda arylation of acyclic E and Z-alkenyl aryl ethers. The reactions were carried out under mild conditions affording the enantioenriched benzyl ethers in a regioselective manner, moderate to good yields (up to 73%), and in good to excellent enantiomeric ratios (up to 97:3). The enantioselective Heck-Matsuda arylation has shown a broad scope (25 examples), and some key Heck-Matsuda adducts were further converted into more complex and valuable scaffolds including their synthetic application in the synthesis of (R)-Fluoxetine, (R)-Atomoxetine, and in the synthesis of an enantioenriched benzo[c]chromene. Finally, in silico mechanistic investigations into the reaction's enantioselectivity were performed using density functional theory. (Figure presented.).

The enantioselective synthesis of fluoxetine hydrochloride, a potent serotonin-uptake inhibitor, is described. The synthesis of (S)-fluoxetine hydrochloride begins with the asymmetric carbonyl-ene reaction of benzaldehyde with 3-methylene-2,3-dihydrofuran (1) catalyzed by Ti[OCH(CH3)2]4/(S)-BINOL to give (S)-2-(3-furyl)-1-phenyl-1-ethanol (2) in 90% yield and 95% ee. In five steps, alcohol 2 was converted into (S)-fluoxetine hydrochloride (97% ee and 56% overall yield from benzaldehyde). (R)-fluoxetine hydrochloride was prepared by the same sequence except that Ti[OCH(CH3)2]4/(R)-BINOL was used in the first reaction to give the enantiomer of 2.
