Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of neolignan natural products (-)-epi-conocarpan and (+)-conocarpan has been achieved by exploiting an enantio- and diastereoselective intramolecular C-H insertion reaction to construct a cis-2-aryl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran ring system as a key step. The C-H insertion reaction of 5-bromoaryldiazoacetate catalyzed by Rh(2)(S-PTTEA)(4), a new dirhodium(II) carboxylate complex that incorporates N-phthaloyl-(S)-triethylalaninate as chiral bridging ligands, provided 2-aryl-5-bromo-3-methoxycarbonyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran with exceptionally high diastereoselectivity (cis/trans = 97:3) and high enantioselectivity for the cis isomer (84% ee).
通过利用对映和非对映选择性分子内C-H插入反应构建顺式-2-芳基-2,3-二氢苯并呋喃环系统作为关键步骤,实现了新木脂素天然产物(-)-表松柏醇和(+)-松柏醇的催化不对称合成。由新型二铑(II)羧酸盐配合物Rh(2)(S-PTTEA)(4)催化的5-溴芳基重氮乙酸酯的C-H插入反应,该配合物包含N-邻苯二甲酰基-(S)-三乙丙氨酸作为手性桥连配体,以极高的非对映选择性(顺式/反式=97:3)和顺式异构体的高对映选择性(84% ee)提供了2-芳基-5-溴-3-甲氧基羰基-2,3-二氢苯并呋喃。
