An efficient and highly enantioselective Conia-ene-type process has been developed. Reactions are catalyzed by a combination of B(CF), an N-alkylamine and a BOX-ZnI complex. Specifically, through cooperative action of B(CF) and amine, ketones with poorly acidic α-C-H bonds can be converted in situ to the corresponding enolates. Subsequent enantioselective cyclization involving a BOX-ZnI-activated alkyne leads to the formation of various cyclopentenes in up to 99% yield and 99:1 er.
已开发出一种高效且高度对映选择性的 Conia-ene 型反应。该反应由 B(CF₅)₃、N-烷基胺和 BOX-ZnI 配合物共同催化。具体而言,通过 B(CF₅)₃和胺的协同作用,可将酸性较弱的α-C-H 键酮原位转化为相应的烯醇化物。随后,涉及 BOX-ZnI 活化的炔烃的对映选择性环化反应导致各种环戊烯以高达 99%的产率和 99:1 的对映选择性形成。
