Enantiospecific Synthesis of ortho-Substituted 1,1-Diarylalkanes by a 1,2-Metalate Rearrangement/anti-SN 2' Elimination/Rearomatizing Allylic Suzuki-Miyaura Reaction Sequence.


ABSTRACT: The one-pot sequential coupling of benzylamines, boronic esters, and aryl iodides has been investigated. In the presence of an N-activator, the boronate complex formed from an ortho-lithiated benzylamine and a boronic ester undergoes stereospecific 1,2-metalate rearrangement/anti-SN 2' elimination to form a dearomatized tertiary boronic ester. Treatment with an aryl iodide under palladium catalysis leads to rearomatizing γ-selective allylic Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling to generate 1,1-diarylalkanes. When enantioenriched α-substituted benzylamines are employed, the corresponding 1,1-diarylalkanes are formed with high stereospecificity.
