Abstract: | The complex of AgF and (R)-DIFLUORPHOS has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the asymmetric Sakurai-Hosomi allylation of simple ketones. A significaant improvement of the reactivity was observed by using THF as the solvent. The catalyst turnover was increased by addition of 1 equiv of MeOH. AgF and (R)-DIFLUORPHOS predominantly formed a 1:1 complex that provided high enantioselectivity. This catalyst system can be applied to various simple ketones, and corresponding tertiary homoallylic alcohols were obtained with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). Only 1,2-adducts were obtained from both acyclic and cyclic conjugate ketones. The regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective crotylation has also been achieved. E- or Z-crotyltrimethoxysilane gave a similar diastereomer ratio with high enantioselectivities. This finding introduces the utility of racemic allylsilanes for the enantioselective Sakurai-Hosomi allylation reaction. |
