Rhodium-Catalyzed Parallel Kinetic Resolution of Racemic Internal Allenes Towards Enantiopure Allylic 1,3-Diketones
Hilpert, Lukas J.,Breit, Bernhard
supporting information, p. 9939 - 9943 (2019/06/24)
A rare case of a parallel kinetic resolution of racemic 1,3-disubstituted allenes by means of a rhodium-catalyzed addition to 1,3-diketones furnishing enantiopure allylic 1,3-diketones is described. Mechanistic experiments demonstrate that the different allene enantiomers react in parallel to either the diastereomeric E- or Z-allylic 1,3-diketones with the same absolute configuration of the newly formed stereogenic center. A broad substrate scope demonstrates the synthetic utility of this new method.

The three-carbon ring expansion methodology commences with the preparation of a cyclic allene (C9, C11, C13), readily available from the corresponding cycloalkene via dibromocarbene addition and subsequent treatment with methyllithium. Dichloroketene addition to the cyclic allene regioselectively provides the [2+2] cycloadduct, which is reductively dechlorinated with zinc in methanol. The resulting cyclobutanone is then catalytically hydrogenated; cyclobutanone ring opening is affected with trimethylsilyl iodide; immediate dehydroiodination of the resulting β-iodocycloalkanone with diazabicycloundecane (DBU) provides the corresponding macrocyclic enone. The 15-membered enone was converted to d,l-muscone with (CH3)2CuLi.
