Copper(I)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Unsymmetrical All-Carbon Bis-Quaternary Centers at the Opposing α-Carbons of Cyclohexanones.


ABSTRACT: We describe a new synthetic reaction that generates all-carbon bis-quaternary centers at the opposing side of α-carbons in cyclohexanone with four different substituents in a controlled manner. Catalyzed by Cu(MeCN)4BF4 salt, this chemistry is proposed to proceed via an intermediacy of unsymmetrical O-allyl oxyallyl cations, which undergo a sequence of regioselective nucleophilic addition with substituted indoles and diastereoselective Claisen rearrangement in a single synthetic operation. The stereochemical outcome of the products features the cis diastereorelationship between the two aryl groups at the α,α'-positions.
