Streamlined asymmetric ?-difunctionalization of ynones.


ABSTRACT: Ynones are a unique class of structural motifs that show remarkable chemical versatility. Chiral ynones, particularly those possessing an ?-stereogenic center, are highly attractive templates for structural diversification. So far, only very limited examples have been reported for asymmetric ?-functionalization of ynones. Asymmetric double ?-functionalization of ynones remains elusive. Here we describe a streamlined strategy for asymmetric ?-difunctionalization of ynones. We developed a gold-catalyzed multicomponent condensation reaction from a simple ynone, an amine, and an electrophilic alkynylating reagent to generate a 1,2-dialkynyl enamine, a key stable and isolable intermediate. This intermediate can undergo asymmetric fluorination catalyzed by a chiral phosphoric acid derivative. Chiral ynones with an ?-quaternary carbon and containing a fluorine and an alkyne can be synthesized in high yield and high ee. The synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by the synthesis of enantioenriched tri(hetero)arylmethyl fluorides.
