Enantioselective gem-chlorofluorination of active methylene compounds using a chiral spiro oxazoline ligand.
2011
Highly enantioselective gem-chlorofluorination of active methylene compounds was carried out by using a copper(II) complex of a chiral spiro pyridyl monooxazoline ligand. This reaction yielded α-chloro-α-fluoro-β-keto esters and α-chloro-α-fluoro-β-keto phosphonates with up to 92% ee. The resulting dihalo β-keto ester was converted into various α-fluoro-α-heteroatom-substituted carbonyl compounds via nucleophilic substitution without loss of optical purity. A fully protected β-amino acid with a gem-chlorofluoromethylene function was also synthesized.
