Abstract
Enantioselective bond formation between sterically hindered fragments to furnish acyclic products with vicinal quaternary centers is a formidable challenge. We report a solution that involves cocatalysis between a chiral Ir–(phosphoramidite,olefin) complex and La(OTf)3. This robust catalytic system effects highly enantioconvergent and regioselective alkylation of racemic tertiary α-allenyl alcohols with tetrasubstituted silyl ketene acetals. The transformation displays broad functional group tolerance for both reaction components and allows efficient generation of β-allenyl ester products in good yield and with excellent enantioselectivity. Furthermore, both the allene and ester functionalities were leveraged to upgrade the structural complexity of the products via a series of stereoselective metal-catalyzed functionalization reactions.
