Copper-Hydride-Catalyzed Enantioselective Processes with Allenyl Boronates. Mechanistic Nuances, Scope, and Utility in Target-Oriented Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Synthesis of complex bioactive molecules is substantially facilitated by transformations that efficiently and stereoselectively generate polyfunctional compounds. Designing such processes is hardly straightforward, however, especially when the desired route runs counter to the inherently favored reactivity profiles. Furthermore, in addition to being efficient and stereoselective, it is crucial that the products generated can be easily and stereodivergently modified. Here, we introduce a catalytic process that delivers versatile and otherwise difficult-to-access organoboron entities by combining an allenylboronate, a hydride, and an allylic phosphate. Two unique selectivity problems had to be solved: avoiding rapid side reaction of a Cu-H complex with an allylic phosphate, while promoting i
