The cyclometalated π-allyliridium 3,4-dinitro-C,O-benzoate complex modified by (R)- or (S)-Cl,MeO-BIPHEP promotes the transfer hydrogenative coupling of allyl acetate to β-stereogenic alcohols with good to excellent levels of catalyst-directed diastereoselectivity to furnish homoallylic alcohols. Remote electronic effects of the C,O-benzoate of the catalyst play a critical role in suppressing epimerization of the transient α-stereogenic aldehyde.
(R)-或(S)-Cl,MeO-BIPHEP 修饰的环金属化π-烯丙基铱 3,4-二硝基-C,O-苯甲酸盐配合物促进烯丙基乙酸酯与β-手性醇的转移氢化偶联,以高至优秀的催化剂导向非对映选择性得到高烯丙醇。催化剂的 C,O-苯甲酸盐的远程电子效应在抑制瞬态α-手性醛的差向异构化中起着关键作用。
