Chiral-at-Metal Rh(III) Complex-Catalyzed Michael Addition of Pyrazolones with α,β-Unsaturated 2-Acyl Imidazoles

Abstract: An efficient enantioselective conjugate addition of pyrazolones with α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles catalyzed by chiral-at-metal rhodium complex is reported. The corresponding adducts were obtained in good yields (85%-96%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99%). This protocol exhibits extraordinary reactivity, because of the fact that a complex with as little as 0.05 mol % Rh(III) can catalyze the title reaction on a gram-scale with excellent enantioselectivity.

“…Kang and co-workers recently described the use of Λ-RhO2 in the enantioselective conjugate addition of pyrazolones 43 to 1 (Scheme 23a). [30] N-Methylimidazole unit was crucial to obtain high yields and enantioselectivities. In fact, when it was replaced by 2-pyridyl moiety (see 46) much lower ee values were attained and in the presence of 1-pyrazole ring the transformation was very reluctant (traces of product 45) (Scheme 23b).…”

“…The role of the carbazole moiety is unclear. However, we and independently the Kang group found that for related bis‐cyclometalated catalysts the functionalization of the phenyl moiety at this position with an aryl moiety can sometimes have a positive effect on the stereocontrol.…”
