Asymmetric Conjugate Addition to Cyclic Enone Catalyzed by Cu-NHC Complexes with C2 Symmetry

A series of chiral, C2 symmetric tridentate N-heterocyclic carbene precursors, containing two N-functionalized hydroxyl or alkoxyl groups, were synthesized. They were applied to catalyze the asymmetric conjugate addition of diethylzinc to cyclohex-2-enone and cyclopent-2-enone. Enantioselectivity of...

Summary:A series of chiral, C2 symmetric tridentate N-heterocyclic carbene precursors, containing two N-functionalized hydroxyl or alkoxyl groups, were synthesized. They were applied to catalyze the asymmetric conjugate addition of diethylzinc to cyclohex-2-enone and cyclopent-2-enone. Enantioselectivity of corresponding reactions can be accomplished with up to 76% ee, and 65% ee, respectively. Flip of major enantiorner was observed when different bases or copper sources were utilized.
