Highly Selective and Catalytic Generation of Acyclic Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters via Functionalization of 1,3-Dienes with CO2

The catalytic asymmetric functionalization of readily available 1,3-dienes is highly important, but current examples are mostly limited to the construction of tertiary chiral centers. The asymmetric generation of acyclic products containing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters from substituted 1,3-dienes represents a more challenging, but highly desirable, synthetic process for which there are very few examples. Herein, we report the highly selective copper-catalyzed generation of chiral all-carbon acyclic quaternary stereocenters via functionalization of 1,3-dienes with CO2. A variety of readily available 1,1-disubstituted 1,3-dienes, as well as a 1,3,5-triene, undergo reductive hydroxymethylation with high chemo-, regio-, E/Z-, and enantioselectivities. The reported method features good functional group tolerance, is readily scaled up to at least 5 mmol of starting diene, and generates chiral products that are useful building blocks for further derivatization. Systemic mechanistic investigations using density functional theory calculations were performed and provided the first theoretical investigation for an asymmetric transformation involving CO2. These computational results indicate that the 1,2-hydrocupration of 1,3-diene proceeds with high π-facial selectivity to generate an (S)-allylcopper intermediate, which further induces the chirality of the quaternary carbon center in the final product. The 1,4-addition of an internal allylcopper complex, which differs from previous reports involving terminal allylmetallic intermediates, to CO2 kinetically determines the E/Z- and regioselectivity. The rapid reduction of a copper carboxylate intermediate to the corresponding silyl-ether in the presence of Me(MeO)2SiH provides the exergonic impetus and leads to chemoselective hydroxymethylation rather than carboxylation. These results provide new insights for guiding further development of asymmetric C-C bond formations with CO2

TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES IN THE CHEMISTRY OF CONJUGATED SYSTEMS. II. MECHANISM OF CATALYTIC ADDITION OF ARYLMAGNESIUM HALIDES TO ENYNIC HYDROCARBONS

Based on the analysis of the effect of structural factors on the reaction direction and the yield of products, and also of a kinetic study, a mechanism was proposed for the reaction of Grignard reagents with 1-alken-3-ynes in the presence of transition metal compounds.The presence of two kinetic steps was established, which correspond to reduction of the starting catalyst and the catalytic addition reaction.A structure was proposed for the active intermediate and it was shown that the stereochemical result of the reaction is cis addition.

COMPLEXES OF TRANSITION METALS IN THE CHEMISTRY OF CONJUGATED SYSTEMS. I. CATALYTIC ADDITION OF ORGANOMAGNESIUM AND ORGANOLITHIUM COMPOUNDS TO ENYNES AND THEIR DERIVATIVES

Hydrocarbons with a conjugated system of double and triple bonds are capable of catalytic addition of arylmagnesium halides and aryllithiums at the triple bond in the presence of the salts and complexes of transition metals of group VIII.The β-diketonate complexes of Ni(II) and Fe(III) have the greatest activity.In the case of aryllithiums uncatalyzed addition reactions occur as well.Under the same conditions aliphatic Grignard reagents and alkyllithiums give a complex mixture of addition, reduction and oligomerizatin products.The direction of addition is determined solely by the character of substitution in the enyne system.The product yields are also determined by the nature of the metal and of the ligands in the catalyst and by the character of the organomagnesium and organolithium compound.The effect of polar and steric factors of the substituents at the triple bond in the alkyl, aryl, and trialkylsilyl series leads to a change in the direction of coordination and to the formation of the products from addition at the double bond.
