The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of atropisomers bearing axial and -chirality is highly appealing yet remains a significant synthetic challenge. Herein, we report a Pd-catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective C-P coupling reaction that enables the atroposelective construction of -stereogenic heterobiaryls via the combination of dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation of heterobiaryls and kinetic resolution of nonsymmetric secondary phosphine oxides. This protocol exhibits a broad substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance, delivering a diverse array of axial and -chiral phosphine oxides in high yields and excellent diastereoselectivities with near-perfect enantioselectivities. The synthetic utility of this method is further demonstrated by the facile preparation of multichiral Lewis base catalysts and the asymmetric synthesis of chiral ,-ligands such as QUINAP.
具有轴手性和-手性的阻转异构体的催化不对称合成极具吸引力,但仍然是一项重大的合成挑战。在此,我们报道了一种钯催化的非对映和对映选择性C-P偶联反应,该反应通过杂联芳基的动态动力学不对称转化与非对称仲膦氧化物的动力学拆分相结合,实现了-立体异构杂联芳基的阻转选择性构建。该方法具有广泛的底物范围和出色的官能团耐受性,能以高收率、优异的非对映选择性和近乎完美的对映选择性得到各种轴手性和-手性膦氧化物。通过多手性路易斯碱催化剂的简便制备以及手性、-配体(如QUINAP)的不对称合成,进一步证明了该方法的合成实用性。
