(Z)-Trisubstituted allylic alcohols are widespread structural motifs in natural products and biologically active compounds but are difficult to directly prepare. Introduced herein is a general one-pot multicomponent coupling method for the synthesis of (Z)-α,α,β-trisubstituted allylic alcohols. (Z)-Trisubstituted vinylzinc reagents are formed in situ by initial hydroboration of 1-bromo-1-alkynes. Addition of dialkylzinc reagents induces a 1,2-metalate rearrangement that is followed by a boron-to-zinc transmetalation. The resulting vinylzinc reagents addto a variety of prochiral aldehydes to produce racemic (Z)-trisubstitut ed allylic alcohols. When enantioenriched aldehyde substrates are employed, (Z)-trisubstituted allylic alcohols are isolated with high dr (>20:1in many cases). For example, vinylation of enantioenriched benzyl-prote cted α- and β-hydroxy propanal derivatives furnished the expected anti-Felkin addition products via chelation control. Surprisingly, silyl-protected α-hydroxy aldehydes also afford anti-Felkin addition products. A protocol for the catalytic asymmetric addition of (Z)-trisubstituted vinylzinc reagents to prochiral aldehydes with a (-)-MIB-based catalyst has also been developed. Several additives were investigatedas inhibitors of the Lewis acidic alkylzinc halide byproducts, which pr omote the background reaction to form the racemate. R-Ethyl and R-cyclohexyl (Z)-trisubstituted allylic alcohols can now be synthesized with excellent levels of enantioselectivity in the presence of diamine inhibitors.
