Article Description

A novel enantioselective desymmetrization of 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-propanediols has been established to generate all-carbon quaternary stereocenters, which has been implemented with BzCl and EtN in the presence of Pybox(6)-CuCl complex in CHCl or PhMe at 78°C. While all the cyanide-comprising diols were desymmetrized with superb enantioselectivity (higher than 98% ee), the stereoinduction of the other substrates greatly depends on the size difference between the two substituents at the 2-position. When the size difference becomes larger, the corresponding substrates tend to engender enhanced enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). © 2011 American Chemical Society.
