The reaction of 3-sulfolene with arylboronic acids in the presence of a chiral diene-rhodium catalyst under highly basic conditions (10 equiv of KOH) gave high yields of 3-arylsulfolanes with high enantioselectivity, where 3-sulfolene is in equilibration with 2-sulfolene by base-catalyzed isomerization and the more reactive 2-sulfolene undergoes the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation.
3-磺烯与芳基硼酸在强碱条件下(10 当量的 KOH)与手性二烯-铑催化剂反应,得到高收率的高对映选择性的 3-芳基磺内酯,其中 3-磺烯通过碱催化异构化与 2-磺烯达到平衡,而更具反应性的 2-磺烯则经历铑催化的不对称芳基化反应。
