Abstract

By screening various chiral P,P-ligands in the palladium-catalyzed reaction of ortho-iodobenzaldehyde with allyl tributylstannane, a suitable ligand (Taniaphos) was identified that affords 3-methylene-1-indanol with an enantioselectivity of 96% ee. This result indicates that a ligated palladium intermediate is involved in the chirogenic step of the catalytic cycle (intramolecular electrophilic activation of the aldehyde function by ortho-palladation).

Key words

palladium - enantioselective catalysis - allyl-stannanes - intramolecular - Heck reaction - domino reactions - chiral P,P-ligands

Typical procedure: 2-Iodobenzaldehyde (4a; 116 mg, 0.5 mmol), [Pd₂dba₃] (10.4 mg, 10 µmol, 2 mol%) and ligand L15 (Taniaphos, 15 µmol, 3 mol%) were dissolved in anhydrous DMF (5 mL) under an argon atmosphere. Allyl tributylstannane (0.31 mL, 1.0 mmol, 2 equiv) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at 80 ˚C for 15 h. After cooling to r.t. sat. aq KF (15 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with methyl tert-butyl ether (3 × 20 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (20 mL), dried over MgSO₄ and solvents were evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO₂-KF, 9:1; eluting with cyclohexane-EtOAc, 4:1) to give 9 (38 mg, 52%) as a white-yellowish solid. The enantiomeric purity was determined as 96% ee by means of chiral HPLC (Machery-Nagel Nucleocel Delta S; n-hex-i-PrOH, 99:1; 0.5 mL/min); R _f = 0.38 (Cyhex-EtOAc, 3:1); mp 71-72 ˚C; [α]_D ^²0 -9.1 (c 1.03, CDCl₃); ^¹H NMR: (300 MHz, CDCl₃):
