Enantioselective Alkynylation of Trifluoromethyl Ketones Catalyzed by Cation‐Binding Salen Nickel Complexes

Cation‐binding salen nickel catalysts were developed for the enantioselective alkynylation of trifluoromethyl ketones in high yield (up to 99 %) and high enantioselectivity (up to 97 % ee). The reaction proceeds with substoichiometric quantities of base (10–20 mol % KOt‐Bu) and open to air. In the case of trifluoromethyl vinyl ketones, excellent chemo‐selectivity was observed, generating 1,2‐addition products exclusively over 1,4‐addition products. UV‐vis analysis revealed the pendant oligo‐ether group of the catalyst strongly binds to the potassium cation (K⁺) with 1:1 binding stoichiometry (K_a=6.6×10⁵ m ^?1).

Enantioselective Alkynylation of 2‐Trifluoroacetyl Imidazoles Catalyzed by Bis‐Cyclometalated Rhodium(III) Complexes Containing Pinene‐Derived Ligands

Chiral rhodium(III) complexes containing two cyclometalating 2‐phenyl‐5,6‐(S,S)‐pinenopyridine ligands and two additional acetonitriles are introduced as excellent catalysts for the highly enantioselective alkynylation of 2‐trifluoroacetyl imidazoles. Whereas the ligand‐based chirality permits the straightforward synthesis of the complexes in a diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure fashion, the metal‐centered chirality is responsible for the asymmetric induction over the course of the catalysis. For comparison, the analogous iridium congeners provide only low enantioselectivity, and previously reported benzoxazole‐ and benzothiazole‐based catalysts do not show any catalytic activity for this reaction under standard reaction conditions.
