The preparation of all possible stereoisomers of a given chiral molecule bearing multiple stereocenters by a simple and unified method is a significant challenge in asymmetric catalysis. We report stereodivergent allylic substitutions with aryl acetic acid esters catalyzed synergistically by a metallacyclic iridium complex and benzotetramisole. Through permutations of the enantiomers of the two chiral catalysts, all four stereoisomers of the products bearing two adjacent stereocenters are accessible with high diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity. The resulting chiral activated ester products can be converted readily to enantioenriched amides, unactivated esters, and carboxylic acids in a onepot manner.

Three synthetic strategies for the construction of tert-butyl (E)-3-arylprop-2-en-1-ol carbonates are described. Complementary approaches employing Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and cross-metathesis reaction gave moderate yields of the title compounds in one-step, both methods are suitable for high-throughput and parallel chemistry. A detailed investigation into the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction is provided along with the studies on the synthesis of pinacolyl 1-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)propenol-3-ylboronate, the key building block. Conventional synthesis of the title compounds via the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction as a key step in a three-step-one-purification protocol was optimized and the results are compared with those of the latter reactions.
