Chiral indoline-2-carboxylic acid has been identified to enable a highly enantioselective Catellani-type annulation of (hetero)aryl, alkenyl triflate and conjugated vinyl iodides with 4-(bromomethyl)cyclohexanone, directly assembling a diverse range of chiral all-carbon bridged ring systems. Control experiments and DFT calculations suggest that the coordinating orientation of the chiral amino acid to the arylpalladium(II) center allows for high levels of stereochemical control.
手性吲哚啉-2-羧酸被确定为能够实现(杂)芳基、烯基三氟甲磺酸酯和共轭乙烯基碘化物与 4-(溴甲基)环己酮的高度对映选择性 Catellani 型环加成,直接组装出各种手性全碳桥环系统。控制实验和 DFT 计算表明,手性氨基酸与芳基钯(II)中心的配位方向允许高水平的立体化学控制。
