Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric functionalization of unbiased methylene C(sp3)-H bonds is a long-standing challenge. Here, we report a Pd(ii)-catalyzed highly enantioselective arylation of unbiased methylene C(sp3)-H bonds enabled by a strongly coordinating bidentate 2-pyridinylisopropyl (PIP) directing group and an easily accessible 3,3'-F2-BINOL chiral ligand. The use of aryl iodides with the combination of 3,3'-F2-BINOL was beneficial for high enantiocontrol. A range of aliphatic amides and aryl iodides were tolerated, providing the desired arylated products in high enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). The PIP directing group could be removed under mild conditions without erosion of enantiopurity.
钯催化的非导向亚甲基 C(sp3)-H 键不对称功能化是一个长期存在的挑战。在这里,我们报道了一种钯(ii)催化的高度对映选择性芳基化反应,该反应通过强配位的双齿 2-吡啶基异丙基 (PIP)导向基团和易于获得的 3,3'-F2-BINOL 手性配体实现。使用芳基碘化物与 3,3'-F2-BINOL 的组合有利于高对映控制。一系列脂肪族酰胺和芳基碘化物都可以耐受,以高对映选择性(高达 96%ee)提供所需的芳基化产物。在温和条件下可以去除 PIP 导向基团,而不会破坏对映体纯度。
