Desymmetrization construction of chiral lactones by synergistic Cu(II) complex and organic base

A highly enantioselective construction of quaternary carbon center has been realized by the desymmetrization strategy. Chiral enol lactones with up to 95% ee could be synthesized from prochiral dialkynoic acid under the catalysis of synergistic chiral Cu(II) complex and chiral (DHQ)2-PHAL base.

Asymmetric bromolactonizations of alkynes are possible using a desymmetrization approach. The commercially available catalyst (DHQD) 2PHAL promotes these cyclizations in combination with cheap NBS as a bromine source to give bromoenol lactones in high yield and with high enantioselectivity. The bromoenol lactone products, containing a tetrasubstituted alkene and a quaternary stereocenter, are valuable building blocks for synthetic chemistry.
