ABSTRACT: Alkyltitanium reagents, generated in situ from Grignard reagents and ClTi(OiPr)3, can be employed without further manipulation in the enantioselective alkylation of aldehyde by the catalysis of a chiral titanium complex derived from DTBP-H8-BINOL. The reaction is performed with good stoichiometry [1.5 equiv each of Grignard reagents and ClTi(OiPr)3] at a low catalyst loading (2 mol %), affording a variety of chiral secondary alcohols in high enantioselectivity and yields and, hence, realizing an asymmetric version of the Grignard reaction in an indirect manner.

INTRODUCTION The catalytic enantioselective addition of organometallic reagents to aldehydes and ketones is one of the most useful methods for the synthesis of chiral alcohols with simultaneous C−C bond formation.1−8 Although the recent development of efficient catalytic systems has extended the scope of organometallic reagents that can be applied to this reaction, the use of Grignard reagents has been relatively less exploited.9−21 The preparation of Grignard reagents is well-established. A variety of reagents are commercially available and commonly used both in the laboratory and in industry. Accordingly, an asymmetric version of the Grignard reaction that enables the enantioselective preparation of chiral secondary and tertiary alcohols has been of considerable interest for a long time.22,23 However, the use of Grignard reagents in catalytic enantioselective addition is difficult because to their high activity that concurrently induces noncatalytic racemic reaction. Recently, Harutyunyan and Minnaard have shown for the first time that the enantioselective addition of alkyl Grignard reagents to ketones can be realized by chiral Cu(I) catalysts.24−28 Despite such advancement, the enantioselective addition to the significantly more reactive aldehydes remains a challenging problem. For aldehydes, indirect methods in which Grignard reagents are used after conversion to organotitanium and -zinc reagents have been developed. Seebach reported TADDOLate-Ticatalyzed enantioselective alkylation of aldehydes with alkyltitanium reagents RTi(OiPr)3, generated from RMgBr by transmetalation with ClTi(OiPr)3.10 The rigorous exclusion of co-produced magnesium salts is necessary to achieve high enantioselectivity, requiring complexation with 1,4-dioxane and centrifugation of the resulting precipitate. In the enantioselective addition to aldehydes catalyzed with a chiral amino alcohol, diorganozinc reagents generated from Grignard reagents by transmetalation with Zn(OMe)2 were successfully employed by Charette after the removal of precipitated magnesium salts via centrifugation.11 We have recently reported a synthetically © 2018 American Chemical Society
simples method in which Grignard reagents are used as a mixed reagent with excess Ti(OiPr)4 without further manipulation.13−16 By virtue of the enhanced activity of chiral titanium catalysts derived from BINOL derivatives 1b and 2b bearing a sterically demanding aryl group at position 3,29,30 the in situgenerated mixed reagents undergo highly enantioselective alkylation and arylation of aldehydes even at 2 mol % catalyst loading. As a typical reaction protocol, 1.2 equiv of Grignard reagents and 3 equiv of Ti(OiPr)4 are used for the enantioselective arylation. On the other hand, for the alkylation, a further excess of Grignard reagents (2.2 equiv) and the titanium alkoxide (5.8 equiv) are employed. Although Ti(OiPr)4 is a nontoxic, lowcost chemical, a decrease in the amount is desirable to improve practicality. Da et al. reported that the amount of Ti(OiPr)4 can be decreased to 0.9−1.4 equiv by the use of alkyl Grignard reagents (2 equiv) with bis[2-(N,N′-dimethylamino)ethyl]ether as a chelating additive, albeit at a higher loading of the parent BINOL 1a (15 mol %).17,18
In this study, we examine the use of alkyltitanium reagents, generated in situ from Grignard reagents and ClTi(OiPr)3, in the alkylation of aldehydes with a titanium catalyst derived from DTBP-H8-BINOL [(R)-2c] (Scheme 1). We report herein the result of this study that demonstrates that (1) 1.5 equiv each of Grignard reagents and the titanium alkoxide is sufficient, (2) the resulting titanium reagents can be used directly without Received: April 12, 2018 Published: May 10, 2018 6127

10 mol % catalyst loading, the ligand exhibited inferior results (72% yield, 92% ee).31 The butyltitanium reagent is moderately reactive, affording racemic 3a in 27% yield in the absence of the chiral ligands. These results imply a high activity of the chiral titanium catalyst derived from (R)-2c that overrides the background racemic reaction of the titanium reagent. The results of our enantioselective alkylation reaction with a variety of aldehydes and Grignard reagents are summarized in Table 1. Not only aromatic aldehydes but also a heteroaromatic aldehyde (entries 19−22) and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (entries 23 and 24) underwent enantioselective alkylation under the optimized conditions to give product alcohols 3 in high yields and ee’s (85−98%). The reaction of an aliphatic aldehyde however resulted in poor conversion and selectivity (entry 25).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION BuMgCl (1.5 equiv, 2 M in Et2O) was treated with ClTi(OiPr)3 (1.5 equiv) in the presence of Ti(OiPr)4 (0.3 equiv) at −78 °C in Et2O to give a mixture of BuTi(OiPr)3 and MgCl2 (Scheme 2). Scheme 2. Catalytic Enantioselective Butylation of 1-Naphthaldehyde Using BuMgCl
The halogen atom of Grignard reagents could also be bromine as demonstrated in the reaction employing BuMgBr (entries 3 and 20) and n-C6H13MgBr (entries 8 and 22). In general, reactions using primary alkyl Grignard reagents proceeded efficiently (entries 1−3, 6−9, and 14−25). Despite high selectivity, product yields were moderate for the reaction using EtMgCl (entry 4) and iBuMgCl (entry 10). In the former reaction, the pinacol coupling of 1-naphthaldehyde concurrently proceeded to give [1-naphCH(OH)]2 as a byproduct (14%), suggesting the generation of Ti(III) species by the decomposition of the ethyltitanium reagents in the first step of the reaction.32 An improved yield was obtained when 2 equiv of the titanium reagent was employed (entry 5). In the later reaction, on the other hand, formation of the pinacol-coupling product was not observed, implying that the isobutyltitanium reagent is stable31 but less reactive probably for steric reasons. The longer reaction time resulted in decreased selectivity, albeit with improvement in the product yield (entry 11). The reaction of secondary cyclohexyl Grignard reagents was very sluggish under the optimized conditions. However, becuase the reaction was performed at room temperature for 18 h at higher concentrations, the corresponding alkylation product was obtained in 52% yield and 91% ee (entry 12).33 The reaction of PhMgBr was moderately selective, although the product yield was high (entry 13). The preparative utility of the reaction presented here is demonstrated in a gram-scale synthesis of alcohol (R)-3a (entry 2). Even with 96 mg (2 mol %) of chiral ligand (R)-2c, the reaction of 1-naphthaldehyde (9.9 mmol) and BuMgCl (15 mmol) provided 1.80 g (85% yield) of the alcohol in 97% ee after isolation by vacuum distillation. The ligand was recovered from the residue for reuse in 88% yield.
The titanium reagent was transferred to a syringe together with the suspended magnesium salts as a fine powder, added to a Et2O solution of 1-naphthaldehyde (1 mmol), (R)-2c (2 mol %), and 1,4-dioxane (1.5 equiv) at 0 °C for 1 h, and stirred for a further 0.5 h. Under these optimized conditions, (R)-alcohol 3a was obtained in 87% yield and 95% ee. In the first step of generating the butyltitanium reagent, Ti(OiPr)4 (0.3 equiv) is recommended as an additive to obtain reproducible yields. Otherwise, yields varied from 74 to 100%. An excess of BuMgCl with respect to ClTi(OiPr)3 induced considerable decomposition of the reagent. For example, the reaction using a reagent prepared from BuMgCl (2.1 equiv) and ClTi(OiPr)3 (1.5 equiv) gave 3a in only 10% yield. It is often difficult to adjust the mixing ratio to exactly 1:1. Ti(OiPr)4 as an additive ensures the absence of the excess Grignard reagent. The enantioselectivity of 3a was not increased further when a filtered solution of the butyltitanium reagent was employed (95% ee, 67% yield). On the other hand, the selectivity was decreased to some extent when the reaction was performed in the absence of 1,4-dioxane, which is known to form an insoluble complex with MgCl2 (89% ee, 95% yield). We speculate that the precipitated magnesium salt does not decrease the enantioselectivity of the reaction, whereas a small amount of the salt in the solution promotes the background racemic reaction pathway as a Lewis acid. The use of the parent ligand (R)-2a (2 mol %) resulted in lower conversion and selectivity (40% yield, 47% ee). Even at a
