Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of diastereomeric β-ketoesters

Abstract: The palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of diastereomeric β-ketoesters derived from 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone is described. These experiments were performed to elucidate our understanding of stereoablative enantioconvergent catalysis. A detailed analysis of the product distribution, including stereochemical outcome of the products, is included. These studies also reveal an interesting example of selectivity that is governed by competing modes of substrate and catalyst control.

“…His group investigated the Pd-catalyzed DAAA of diastereomeric β-ketoesters in 2014 to learn if the process was indeed a stereoablative transformation ( Scheme 247 ). 646 Two diastereomeric substrates (±)- 211 and (±)- 212 with opposite configuration at the α-position were tested in the DAAA. The comparable diastereomeric product ratios (3/1 dr) found for both substrates are highly suggestive of a stereoablative process.…”

“…Substantial effort has resulted in a detailed mechanistic understanding of this stereoablative process. Preliminary studies (Scheme ) suggested that an internal mechanism (i.e., reductive elimination) is a lower-energy pathway than the corresponding external mechanism involving attack of the enolate onto an η 3 -allyl complex; it was later discovered that η 1 -allylpalladium carboxylate 5 was found to be the resting state of the catalyst and that decarboxylation was likely rate-limiting. The lowest-energy pathway for carbon–carbon bond formation occurs through a seven-membered, Claisen-like transition state ( 6 ) similar to that originally proposed by Echavarren and co-workers, in which the chiral ligand imparts facial selectivity of the allylic alkylation. The sigmatropic character of the transition state likely accounts for the high efficiency with which these sterically hindered quaternary centers are formed, as sigmatropic rearrangements remain a preeminent method for their construction .…”
