- Enantioselective palladium(0)-catalyzed nazarov-type cyclization
-
A Pd0-catalyzed asymmetric Nazarov-type cyclization is described. The optimized ligand for the reaction incorporates a weakly coordinating pyridine ring into a TADDOL-derived phosphoramidite (TADDOL=α,α,α,α-tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanol). The reaction leads to the formation of cyclopentenones as single diastereoisomers that incorporate two contiguous asymmetric centers, one tertiary and one an all-carbon-atom quaternary stereocenter, in high yield and optical purity. It is noteworthy that the reaction does not require that substrates should be activated by aryl substituents.
