Abstract
We have developed an enantioselective, copper(I)-catalyzed addition of terminal alkynes to racemic isochroman acetals. This method is one of the first transition-metal-catalyzed approaches to enantioselective additions to prochiral oxocarbenium ions. In this reaction, TMSOTf is used to form the oxocarbenium ion in situ under conditions compatible with simultaneous formation of the chiral copper acetylide. By using a bis(oxazoline) ligand, good yields and enantioselectivities are observed for a variety of enantioenriched 1-alkynyl isochromans.Entities:
