An efficient method for the enantioselective construction of tertiary vinylglycols through a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric decarboxylative cycloaddition of vinylethylene carbonates with formaldehyde was developed. By using a palladium complex generated in situ from [Pd2(dba)3]⋅CHCl3 and a phosphoramidite ligand as a catalyst under mild reaction conditions, the process allows conversion of racemic 4-substituted 4-vinyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-ones into the corresponding 1,3-dioxolanes, as methylene acetal protected tertiary vinylglycols, in high yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities.
An efficient method for the enantioselective synthesis of β-tertiary β-amino alcohol derivatives through Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cycloaddition of vinylethylene carbonates with imines was developed. By using a palladium complex generated in situ from [Pd2(dba)3]·CHCl3 and phosphoramidite L2 as a catalyst under mild reaction conditions, the process provided 4-substituted-4-vinyloxazolidines in good to high yields with high levels of enantio- and diastereoselectivities.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
