A weakly coordinated carboxylate-directed palladium-catalyzed atroposelective C-H alkynylation method for the development of novel axially chiral styrene-type carboxylic acids is disclosed. This transformation exhibits good yields (up to 85%), excellent enantiocontrol (up to 99% ee), and mild conditions. Notably, the synthetic utility of the resulting alkynyl carboxylic acid derivatives was demonstrated by various derivatizations as well as their potential as chiral ligands in asymmetric C-H activations.

The effect of the chlorine position on the C-Cl bond hydrogenolysis and the enantioselective hydrogenation of Cl substituted (E)-2,3-diphenylpropenoic acid derivatives has been studied over cinchonidine-modified Pd/Al2O 3. In contrast to the fast hydrodechlorination of the β-phenyl-para-Cl substituted acids the Cl on the α-phenyl ring was barely hydrogenolized. These observations were interpreted by the different arrangements of the two phenyl rings on the surface, with the α- and β-phenyl rings adsorbed tilted and parallel, respectively. The results confirmed the beneficial effect of the α-phenyl-ortho-substituents on the chiral discrimination, thus the 2,3-diphenylpropionic acids substituted by Cl on the α-phenyl ring could be prepared in good yields and optical purities. The conclusions were used for the rational design of an acid, i.e. (E)-2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-3-(3,4-difluorophenyl)propenoic acid, which afforded the best optical purity (ee up to 95% at 295 K) described until now in this heterogeneous system.

The rate coefficients for the base-catalysed ring fission of a series of 2-phenyl-3-(2-, 3-or 4-substituted phenyllcycloprop-2-en-1-ones to give the corresponding (E)-2,3-diphenylacrylic acids have heen determined in water at 30.0 °C, as well as for the unsubstituted compound at 40.0, 50.0 and 60.0 °C. The effects of meta-and para-substituents on the rates have been correlated using the Hammett equation to give a reaction constant, p, equal to ca 1.2 at 30 °C. For the unsubstituted compound, the activation parameters have been calculated and the kinetic solvent isotope effect has been studied. The effects of ortho-substituents on the rates appear to be mainly polar, rather than steric, in origin. The evidence indicates a mechanistic pathway which proceeds by addition of hydroxide anion to the ketone, which is rate-determining. The adduct suffers ring fission to give the final product via a carbanionic intermediate.
