An enantioconvergent method for the alkylation of o-disubstituted aryl ketones with racemic secondary alcohols is described. This process is mediated by a commercially available iridium catalyst and proceeds via hydrogen borrowing catalysis. The highly enantioenriched β-substituted ketone products were readily cleaved to a wide range of functional groups via retro-Friedel-Crafts acylation.
本文描述了一种对映选择性方法,用于手性仲醇对邻位二取代芳基酮的烷基化反应。该过程由商业可得的铱催化剂介导,并通过氢借催化进行。高对映选择性的β-取代酮产物可通过反 Friedel-Crafts 酰基化轻易地转化为广泛的官能团。
