ABSTRACT: An asymmetric three-component reaction of Bis(pinacolato)diboron ((BPin)2), 1,3-enynes, and fluoroalkyl ketones was carried out by using a copper(I)-Ph-BPE complex as the catalyst, which afforded a series of chiral fluoroalkyl diols in good to high yield, good to high diastereoselectivity, and high enantioselectivity after an oxidative workup. The reaction exhibits advantages that include a broad substrate scope, high functional group compatibility, high stereoselectivity, and an easy reaction protocol. The synthetic utility of the reaction was showcased by several transformations. value of the α-protons of trifluoromethyl alkyl ketones or the γprotons of α,β-unsaturated ones lower, which leads to the generation of enolates or dienolates and occurrence of side reactions and deactivation of the basic catalyst. Therefore, many reported catalytic asymmetric reactions involving trifluoromethyl ketones suffered from moderate enantioselectivity.13 1,3-Enynes may react through several reaction pathways in the presence of nucleophiles,16 because both the triple bond and the double bond can engage a nucleophile. Recently, 1,3-enynes were employed in three-component reactions to construct complex molecules by means of the reactivity of the conjugated double bond.17 Hoveyda and co-workers successfully developed a three-component diastereo- and enantioselective reaction of 1,3-enynes, bis(pinacolato)diboron and aldehydes catalyzed by the complex derived from CuCl and a novel bis-phosphine (Scheme 1).18 The Buchwald group also disclosed an elegant copper(I)-catalyzed three-component reaction, consisting of 1,3enynes, (MeO)2MeSiH, and ketones, which led to the preparation of an array of chiral homopropargyl alcohols.19 To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on the three-component reaction of trifluoromethyl ketones with 1,3enynes, possibly due to the above-mentioned difficulties encountered in employing these electrophiles in asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we describe a catalytic asymmetric threecomponent reaction of 1,3-enynes, bis(pinacolato)diboron, and trifluoromethyl ketones, as well as perfluoroalkyl ketones. This reaction exhibits advantages that include a broad substrate scope,

ntroduction of fluorine atoms or fluorinated substituents to organic molecules is currently a routine strategy to modify the physical, chemical, and biological properties of chemical leads.1 It is reported that in most recent years about 30% of pharmaceuticals contain at least one fluorine atom.2 Among the various fluorinated substituents,3 the trifluoromethyl group (CF3) has attracted the most attention from the chemical community due to its ubiquitous properties, such as high electronegativity, high electron density, steric hindrance, hydrophobic character, and metabolic stability. CF3-containing compounds have found widespread application in biological,1 medicinal,2 agrochemical,4 and material chemistry.5 In view of the prevalence of chiral trifluoromethylated stereogenic carbon centers in biologically active compounds, there is continuing interest in the development of highly efficient methods for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral CF3-containing molecules.6 Essentially there are two pathways to construct chiral CF3containing molecules. One is to introduce a trifluoromethyl group into molecules via asymmetric nucleophilic, electrophilic, or radical trifluoromethylation.7−9 The other is to transform CF3containing molecules to chiral ones.10−12 Due to their ready availability, one of the most popular strategies is to employ trifluoromethyl ketones as a prochiral reaction partner.13,14 However, three reasons make such catalytic asymmetric reactions challenging.15 First, the steric hindrance of CF3 is similar to an isopropyl group,6a which renders the enantiotopic facial differentiation nontrivial. Second, trifluoromethyl ketones are activated toward addition reactions, which makes it challenging to achieve high enantioselectivity in catalytic asymmetric reactions, because uncatalyzed and nonenantioselective pathways can occur with competitive rates. Third, the high electronegativity of the trifluoromethyl group makes the pKa

methyl on the phenyl ring did not have a significant effect on the yield and enantioselectivity (entries 2−4). However, orthomethyl trifluoroacetophenone afforded the product in lower diastereoselectivity. Both electron-donating groups (including methyl, methoxyl, and dimethyl amino) and electron-withdrawing groups (including halide, trifluoromethyl, and ester) did not affect the reaction results (entries 2−12). Heteroaromatic trifluoromethyl ketones, as well as naphthyl trifluoromethyl ketones, were also competent substrates to give the diols in excellent yield, good to excellent diastereoselectivity, and excellent enantioselectivity (entries 13−16). It is noteworthy that an α,β-unsaturated trifluoromethyl ketone (3q, 3r) was also a suitable reaction partner to generate the product without compromising both yield and stereoselectivity (entries 17−18). The preexisting chiral center did not disturb both diastereo- and enantioselectivity, albeit the product 4s was obtained in moderate yield, possibly due to the presence of acidic γ-protons (entry 19). However, in the reaction of phenylethynyl trifluoromethyl ketone (3t), the corresponding product 4t was not obtained. Decreasing the amount of KOMe to 10 mol % and adding 200 mol % MeOH as an additive led to the formation of 4t in 60% yield, 10/1 dr, and 91% ee. The absolute configurations of two newly formed chiral centers were unambiguously assigned to S (trisubstituted carbon center) and S (tetrasubstituted carbon center) by X-ray crystallography

corresponding diol 4a by NaBO3·4H2O mediated oxidation for ease of handling. With NaOtBu as base, the reaction catalyzed by the complex derived from Cu(CH3CN)4PF6 and (R)-BINAP afforded the diol in 85% yield, 7/1 dr, and 6% ee. Detailed screening of commercially available chiral bis-phosphines identified (R,R)-Ph-BPE as the best, as the diol 4a was obtained in 87% yield, 8/1 dr, and 81% ee. Since the base was reported to have a profound effect on the enantioselectivity in the reactions of bis(pinacolato)diboron,20 the study of base was performed. NaOMe and KOMe outperformed to give the diol 4a in ≥98% ee and >10/1 dr. Further efforts to increase the diastereoselectivity through screening the solvents were fruitless. Moreover, a screening of copper sources proved nonproductive. Due to the inferior performance of NaOMe in the cases of trifluoroaceto1071

of chiral perfluoroalkyl diols 7a−7d decreased, possibly due to the decreasing reactivity caused by the increasing steric hindrance. Fortunately, the enantioselectivity of products was maintained at as high as ≥97% ee. As for diastereoselectivity, no evident tendency was observed. The BPin product, generated in the copper(I)-catalyzed threecomponent reaction, was employed as a nucleophile of Suzuki− Miyaura coupling,21 which coupled with bromobenzene to give product 8 in 70% yield (for two steps) in the presence of a Pd(II)-RuPhos complex (Scheme 5). Furthermore, the synthetic

Scheme 5. Transformations of Products

versatility of the diols (4 and 5), generated through the oxidation of the BPin products, was demonstrated by several transformations of product 4a (Scheme 5). By utilizing a reported method,22 the acetylene moiety was reduced by sodium borohydride to cis-olefin 9 in 81% yield in the presence of NiCl2. trans-Olefin 10 was also accessed through reduction of the acetylene with lithium aluminum hydride. Full saturation of the acetylene led to 11 in 97% yield by Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation. Moreover, a cyclization was achieved to afford a highly functionalized oxetane 12 in 88% yield under Mitsunobu reaction conditions. Then, the acetylene moiety in 12 reacted with NaN3 to form NH-1,2,3-triazole 13 in 80% yield through an oxidative “click reaction”.23 In summary, we have developed a catalytic asymmetric threecomponent reaction of bis(pinacolato)diboron, 1,3-enynes, and fluoroalkyl ketones by using a copper(I) complex. The method uses mild conditions; employs commercially available catalyst precursors; enables the formation of an array of chiral fluoroalkyl diols in good to high yield, good to high diastereoselectivity, and high enantioselectivity; and tolerates many functional groups. The synthetic utility of the present reaction was showcased by product derivatization.

with an aromatic substituent, both electron-donating (methoxyl group) and electron-withdrawing groups (chloride, fluoride, bromide, and trifluoromethyl) were well tolerated (entries 2−7). Both diastereo- and enantioselectivity were not sensitive to the substitution pattern on the phenyl ring, as 5b, 5c, and 5e were isolated in uniformly high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Furthermore, a heteroaromatic group, such as 3-thienyl, did not have an unfavorable effect on the reaction outcome (entry 8). In addition to aromatic substituents, aliphatic substituents were also compatible (entries 9−16). Various functional groups, including silyl ether, benzyl ether, benzoyl ester, tosylate, sulfamide, alkyl chloride, and cyclopropyl groups, were well accepted under the present catalytic system. Although the diastereoselectivity was moderate, the enantioselectivity was generally excellent (≥98% ee). It would be more challenging to make use of perfluoroalkyl ketones in asymmetric catalysis due to the minimal difference in steric hindrance between perfluoroalkyl and phenyl groups. Several perfluoroalkyl phenyl ketones were evaluated under the present catalytic system (Scheme 4). From pentylfluoroethyl, heptafluoropropyl, nonafluorobutyl to tridecafluorohexyl, yields
