Abstract:
We report a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric three-component coupling of bromoarenes, diazoalkanes, and malonates. It represents a significant advancement in catalytic enantioselective dearomative 1,4-difunctionalization of unactivated arenes. A palladium catalyst of a novel phosphoramidite enables a domino reaction consisting of enantiofacial aryl insertion of a bound diazoalkane and regioselective and stereospecific allylic substitution. The new reaction was readily applied in short total syntheses of three terpenoids, including (+)-erogorgiaene, (-)-7-hydroxy-3,4-dihydrocadalin, and (-)-odongrossin C. Mechanistic studies establish that stereocontrol arises from a concerted aryl migration/N2 extrusion, which forms the key cyclic π-allyl palladium intermediate. The C4-regioselectivity of the malonate attack is governed by a combination of ligand effects, silyl group sterics, and stabilizing noncovalent interactions between the naphthyl ring and sodium malonate.

Consider the bromination of cyclopentene. Molecular bromine is polarized in the proximity of the π electrons of cyclopentene. An electrophilic bromine atom adds across the double bond, forming a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate.
