Abstract

The readily available and inexpensive BINOL in combination with Ti(OiPr)4 is found to catalyze the reaction of an alkynylzinc reagent with various types of aldehydes including aliphatic aldehydes, aromatic aldehydes, and other α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to generate chiral propargyl alcohols with 91−99% ee at room temperature. No previous chiral catalysts have exhibited such a broad scope of enantioselectivity with respect to the type of aldehydes for this reaction.

Dmitry L. Usanov and Hisashi YamamotoJournal of the American Chemical Society2011 133 (5), 1286-1289The first example of Cr-catalyzed asymmetric alkynylation of aldehydes with 1-iodo- and 1-bromoalkynes was developed. The use of tethered bis(8-quinolinato) chromium catalyst (3 mol %) allowed preparation of enantioenriched propargyl alcohols with good ...
