Chiral Bicyclic NHC/Cu Complexes for Catalytic Asymmetric Borylation of α,β-Unsaturated Esters

Abstract: The potential of using chiral bicyclic NHC ligands that exhibit modularity was investigated in the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric borylation reaction of α,β-unsaturated esters. After screening for ligands and optimization of the reaction conditions, the corresponding products were afforded with good enantioselectivities (up to 85% ee).

“…Recently, our group has developed optically active bicyclic NHC ligands 3 having a rigid and effective chiral environment (Scheme ). An important feature of our ligands is their modularity; that is, a variety of 3 can be prepared by combining various enantiomerically pure imidazoles 1 and electrophiles (R′-X). In fact, by taking advantage of this feature, we have found catalytic systems that exhibit good enantioselectivities in the Ir-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones (up to 98% ee) and the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric borylation reaction of α,β-unsaturated esters (up to 85% ee).…”

“…THF was distilled from sodium benzophenone ketyl under argon prior to use. Imidazolium salts 2 , dimesityliodonium trifluoromethanesulfonate, [RhCl­(cod)] 2 , and oxabenzonorbornadienes 6 were prepared according to the reported procedures. Cu­(OAc) 2 ·H 2 O, anhydrous DMF, Amberlite IRA402 chloride form, Ag 2 O, NaI, NaBr, KI, CsI, TBAI, N -methylaniline, N -ethylaniline, 3-methyl- N -methylaniline, and 3-chloro- N -methylaniline were used as received.…”

“…As a complement to this approach, we recently reported a 'configuration sampling' strategy demonstrating that the position of the pendant group on the five-membered heterocycle is of utmost importance in achieving high enantioselectivity in a conjugate boron addition reaction (Scheme 1b). 20 A variety of different ligand types such as bisphosphines (Josiphos, 21,22 Qui-noxP*, 23 Taniaphos), 24 NHCs, 25,26 and other planar chiral ligands 27,28 are effective here, but other P,N-ligands have been met with limited success. Our interest in this reaction is primarily to push the boundaries of the P,N-ligand class with our ligand design.…”

“…Compared to simple olefins, a, β -unsaturated compounds are more reactive and could be used as substrates to selectively form C-B bonds at the β -position, so methods [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ] to achieve conjugated boron addition reactions via a, β -unsaturated compounds have been developed successively. Transition metals such as rhodium [ 24 , 25 ], palladium [ 26 , 27 ], platinum [ 28 , 29 ], nickel [ 30 , 31 ] and copper [ 32 , 33 ] are mostly used as catalysts. The use of copper salts or copper complexes as catalysts will greatly reduce the cost of the reaction and therefore have an important place in the conjugation borylation of α, β -unsaturated compounds.…”
