Rhodium(I)-catalyzed enantioselective hydroacylation of 4-allenals was found to proceed smoothly, giving six-membered ketones in good yields (up to 84% yield) with high enantiomeric excess (up to 96% ee) even from racemic allenes as substrates. Mechanistic studies revealed that racemization of the allene moiety in the substrate would occur via a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) process during the hydroacylation.
铑(I)催化的 4-烯丙基醛的对映选择性氢甲酰化反应进行得很顺利,即使使用外消旋的烯丙基作为底物,也能以高收率(高达 84%)和高对映选择性(高达 96%ee)得到六元酮。机理研究表明,在氢甲酰化过程中,底物中烯丙基部分的外消旋化会通过动态动力学拆分(DKR)过程发生。
