Abstract
- Reported herein is asymmetric [3+2] annulation of arylnitrones with different classes of alkynes catalyzed by chiral rhodium(III) complexes, with the nitrone acting as an electrophilic directing group. Three classes of chiral indenes/indenones have been effectively constructed, depending on the nature of the substrates. The coupling system features mild reaction conditions, excellent enantioselectivity, and high atom-economy. In particular, the coupling of N-benzylnitrones and different classes of sterically hindered alkynes afforded C-C or C-N atropochiral pentatomic biaryls with a C-centered point-chirality in excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity (45 examples, average 95.6 % ee). These chiral center and axis are disposed in a distal fashion and they are constructed via two distinct migratory insertions that are stereo-determining and are under catalyst control.
