α-Quaternary ketones are accessed through novel enantioselective alkylations of allyl and propargyl electrophiles by unstabilized prochiral enolate nucleophiles in the presence of palladium complexes with various phosphinooxazoline (PHOX) ligands. Excellent yields and high enantiomeric excesses are obtained from three classes of enolate precursor: enol carbonates, enol silanes, and racemic β-ketoesters. Each of these substrate classes functions with nearly identical efficiency in terms of yield and enantioselectivity. Catalyst discovery and development, the optimization of reaction conditions, the exploration of reaction scope, and applications in target-directed synthesis are reported. Experimental observations suggest that these alkylation reactions occur through an unusual inner-sphere mechanism involving binding of the prochiral enolate nucleophile directly to the palladium center. Sly as a PHOX: The development of an enantioselective decarboxylative palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation reaction, utilizing phosphinooxazoline ligands, is described. The catalyst is applied to a range of allyl enol carbonate, silyl enol ether, and allyl β-ketoester substrates to provide alkylated ketone products in excellent yield and good ee (see scheme). The utility of these products is demonstrated by their use in several asymmetric syntheses. Mechanistic studies are reported suggesting an unusual inner-sphere mechanism. Copyright

(Chemical Equation Presented) Adaptive Alkylation: Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric alkylation enables access to fully substituted enantioenriched oxygenated stereocenters, which can be transformed easily to α-hydroxyketones, esters, and acids, providing a catalytic, enantioselective synthesis for natural products.
