We describe the synthetically useful enantioselective addition of Br-CX (X=Cl or Br) to terminal olefins to introduce a trihalomethyl group and generate optically active secondary bromides. Computational and experimental evidence supports an asymmetric atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) mechanism in which the stereodetermining step involves outer-sphere bromine abstraction from a [(bisphosphine)Rh BrCl] complex by a benzylic radical intermediate. This mechanism appears unprecedented in asymmetric catalysis.
我们描述了 Br-CX(X=Cl 或 Br)与末端烯烃的对映选择性加成反应,该反应可用于引入三卤甲基基团并生成光学活性的仲溴化物。计算和实验证据支持不对称原子转移自由基加成(ATRA)机理,其中立体决定步骤涉及苄基自由基中间体从[(双膦)Rh BrCl]配合物中进行的外球溴原子的提取。这种机理在不对称催化中似乎是前所未有的。
