Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of vinyl cyclopropane and electron-deficient dienes was realized. The cycloaddition reaction proceeded regioselectively on the distant C=C double bond of electron-deficient dienes, and was mainly controlled by the steric hindrance of the 5-substituent of electron-deficient dienes. Chiral multi-substituted cyclopentanes bearing three functional groups (monosubstituted alkene, conjugated ester, and cyano) and three continuous stereocenters were obtained in moderate to high yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities.

Key words

palladium - [3+2] cycloaddition - vinyl cyclopropane - asymmetric catalysis - electron-deficient diene

13 Synthesis of Products 3; General Procedure: To a flame-dried Schlenk tube, Pd₂(dba)₃ (0.005 mmol, 4.28 mg), L4 (0.012 mmol, 7.33 mg), and anhydrous THF (2.0 mL) were added. The resulting mixture was allowed to stir for 30 min, then vinyl cyclopropane 1 (0.24 mmol) and 2,4-diene 2 (0.2 mmol) were added subsequently. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature until the raw material disappeared (monitored by TLC). After the volatiles were removed in vacuo, the resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with petroleum ether and ethyl acetate as eluent to give the product 3.
