Route to Chiral Tetrahydrofuran Acetals via Pd-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylic Cycloaddition of Vinyl Epoxides with β-Keto Enol Ethers

Lee, Vicky (Meiqi) | Liu, Yiming | Zhang, Yong Jian
An efficient method for the synthesis of functionalized chiral tetrahydrofuran (THF) acetals via Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic cycloaddition has been developed. With a palladium catalyst coordinated by a chiral phosphine ligand, the protocol is enabled to combine readily available vinyl epoxides and β-keto enol ethers to produce THF acetals bearing three stereocenters in a broad substrate scope with uniformly high levels of enantio- and diastereoselectivity.
