Abstract
In this study, the highly enantioselective α-allylation of α-substituted β-ketoesters, particularly 2-oxocycloalkanecarboxylates, is achieved by synergistic catalysis with an achiral palladium complex and a chiral primary amino acid. Various α-allylated β-ketoesters containing a quaternary carbon stereogenic center are synthesized in high yields (up to 97%) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee).
The stereoselective construction of quaternary carbon stereogenic centers is frequently required in the total synthesis of complex organic molecules, such as natural organic compounds; nevertheless, it remains one of the challenging topics in organic synthesis.[1] [2] Furthermore, for accurately synthesizing a target molecule, it is imperative to introduce functional groups into synthetic intermediates, as well as for additional carbon–carbon bond formation reactions. For furnishing synthetic intermediates with a quaternary carbon stereogenic center and functional groups, the α-allylation of α-substituted β-ketoesters is attractive as both a quaternary carbon stereogenic center and multiple functional groups, such as carbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, and allyl, are simultaneously obtained.[3] By employing 2-oxocycloalkanecarboxylates as β-ketoester substrates for allylation, synthetically useful 1-(prop-2-enyl)-2-oxocycloalkanecarboxylates, which can be converted into various complex cyclic compounds, such as fused-ring and spiro compounds, are obtained. For example, the groups of Pohmakotr[4] and Keay[5] have successfully synthesized bicyclo[3,3,0]octane and spiro[4.4]nonane, respectively, from 1-(prop-2-enyl)-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (Scheme [1]).[6] Hanessian et al. have reported the total synthesis of a calyciphylline B type alkaloid, isodaphlongamine H, using 1-(prop-2-enyl)-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate.[7] Thus, α-allylated β-ketoesters, particularly 1-(prop-2-enyl)-2-oxocycloalkanecarboxylates, are potentially attractive as synthetic intermediates. Although the asymmetric α-allylation of 2-oxocycloalkanecarboxylates is straightforward for obtaining 1-(prop-2-enyl)-2-oxocycloalkanecarboxylates in a stereoselective manner, it is still challenging to achieve allylation with high enantioselectivity by asymmetric catalysis.[8] Indeed, enantiopure 1-(prop-2-enyl)-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate is generally prepared by kinetic reduction of the racemate with baker’s yeast.[6] [7] [9] Recently, we reported that synergistic catalysis using an achiral palladium complex and a chiral primary amino acid was effective for the asymmetric α-allylation of α-branched aldehydes, and a quaternary carbon stereogenic center possessing four substituents (allyl, alkyl, aryl, and formyl groups) was constructed with high enantioselectivity.[10] [11] [12] In this study, the α-allylation of α-substituted β-ketoesters, particularly 2-oxocycloalkanecarboxylates, via synergistic catalysis using an achiral palladium complex and a chiral primary amino acid is described.


a The reaction was carried out with 2a (0.5 mmol), 3a (1.25 mmol), 4 (0.1 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)4 (0.025 mmol) in toluene (1 mL) at 25 °C for 16 h.
b Yield of isolated product 1a.
c Determined by chiral HPLC analysis.
For optimizing the reaction conditions for the allylation, ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (2a) and allyl acetate (3a) were chosen as model substrates. The screening of catalysts with amino acids 4 was performed in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) [Pd(PPh3)4] in toluene at 25 °C, and Table [1] summarizes the results obtained. The reaction time was maintained constant at 16 hours for evaluating the activity of the amino acid catalysts. Allylation in the presence of a catalytic amount of naturally occurring amino acids, such as proline (4a), alanine (4b), valine (4c), leucine (4d), and phenylalanine (4e), afforded ethyl 1-(prop-2-enyl)-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (1a) in 32–46% yields, albeit with very low enantioselectivity (0–5% ee). As allylation in the absence of an amino acid catalyst gave a similar result (46%, 0% ee), amino acids 4a–e were not found to be effective as catalysts for allylation. The results with low enantioselectivity can be explained by the low solubility of amino acids 4a–e in an organic solvent, as white solids due to the amino acids were observed in the reaction vessel at the end of each experiment. As expected, lipophilic primary amino acids 4f–k, which contain a siloxy group in the side chain, afforded allylated product 1a in moderate-to-good enantioselectivity.[13] Finally, the use of O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl l-threonine (4k) as the catalyst afforded a better enantioselectivity compared with those observed for the other amino acids.
Next, the reaction conditions were optimized with respect to the amount of allyl acetate (3a), the reaction temperature, and the concentration of 2a in toluene; Table [2] shows the results obtained. By decreasing the amount of 3a, the enantioselectivity of the allylation was improved to 90% ee, although the reaction was slow (Table [2], entries 1 and 2). The concentration of the substrates in the solvent also affected the reaction rate, with the allylation proceeding at a more rapid rate in a reduced amount of the solvent (Table [2], entries 3 and 4). When the allylation was conducted at 40 °C, the reaction rate was improved without significant loss of the enantioselectivity, although the reaction terminated in a short time at 60 °C (Table [2], entries 5–7). Hence, further investigation of the allylation was conducted using 2a (0.5 mmol) in toluene (0.6 mL) at 40 °C (Table [2], entry 6).
a Unless otherwise mentioned, the reaction was carried out with 2a (0.5 mmol), 3a (1.0 mmol), 4k (0.1 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)4 (0.025 mmol) in toluene for 16 h.
b Concentration of 2a in toluene. The amount of toluene used was 1.0 mL (0.50 M), 0.60 mL (0.83 M), and 0.40 mL (1.30 M).
c Yield of isolated product 1a.
d Determined by chiral HPLC analysis.
e An increased amount of 3a (1.25 mmol) was used.
f A large amount of unreacted 2a remained.
Next, the screening of ligands on the palladium catalysts was conducted using palladium(II) acetate [Pd(OAc)2] and various organophosphines; Table [3] shows the results obtained. The use of triphenylphosphine (PPh3) with Pd(OAc)2 furnished results similar to those obtained with Pd(PPh3)4, and the use of two equivalents of PPh3 relative to Pd(OAc)2 was found to be optimum (Table [3], entries 1–6). Although tris(o-tolyl)phosphine [P(2-CH3C6H4)3] and tris(pentafluorophenyl)phosphine [P(C6F5)3] were not effective for allylation, tris(4-fluorophenyl)phosphine [P(4-FC6H4)3] afforded 1a in 90% yield and 95% ee (Table [3], entries 7–9). Bidentate ligands such as 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb), 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf), and 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (BINAP) furnished results that were worse than those obtained with the use of PPh3 and P(4-FC6H4)3 (Table [3], entries 10–14). As both racemic and chiral forms of BINAP furnished the same enantiomer with similar enantiomeric excess, the stereocontrol for the current allylation significantly depends on the chirality of the amino acid catalyst used (Table [3], entries 14–16). Thus, P(4-FC6H4)3 was chosen as the ligand on the palladium catalyst for the allylation reactions.
a Unless otherwise mentioned, the reaction was carried out with 2a (0.5 mmol), 3a (1.0 mmol), 4k (0.1 mmol), and Pd(OAc)2 (0.025 mmol) in toluene (0.6 mL) at 40 °C for 16 h.

f 1,3-Bis(diphenylphosphino)propane.
g 1,4-Bis(diphenylphosphino)butane.
h 1,1′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene.
i 2,2′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl.
Finally, the substrate scope of the present allylation was investigated; Table [4] shows the results obtained. By decreasing the reaction temperature from 40 °C to 25 °C, higher enantioselectivity was observed, albeit the reaction took a longer time for completion, and the allylation of 2a with 3a afforded 1a in 92% yield and with 98% ee (Table [4], entries 1 and 2). The effect of the alkoxycarbonyl group of 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylates 2a–c on the allylation was investigated, and the results indicated that the bulkiness of the alkoxycarbonyl group did not significantly affect the yields and enantiomeric excesses of the allylated products 1a–c (Table [4], entries 2–4). On the other hand, the structures of the β-ketoesters 2 significantly affected their reactivity. For example, cyclohexanonecarboxylate 2d, which has a ring size greater than that of cyclopentanone, required a reaction time longer than that required by 2a (Table [4], entry 5). By increasing the catalyst loading of the Pd complex, the reaction time was considerably reduced (Table [4], entry 6),[14] and cycloheptanonecarboxylate 2e also afforded allylated product 1e in high yield and with excellent enantioselectivity (Table [4], entry 7). The allylation of an acyclic β-ketoester, ethyl 2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate (2f), was very sluggish, affording allylated product 1f in 42% yield, with a significant amount of unreacted substrates even when the reaction was conducted for 120 hours with an increased catalyst loading of the Pd complex (Table [4], entry 8). Next, the effect of the α-substituents of β-ketoesters 2f–h on the allylation was investigated, and the results indicated that the allylation was sensitive to steric hindrance at the α-carbon atom (Table [4], entries 8–10). Although the allylation of 2-ethoxycarbonyl-1-indanone (2i) using 3a afforded allylated product 1i in 87% yield, no enantioselectivity was observed (Table [4], entry 11). The reaction between aromatic ketones and the amino acid catalyst probably afforded insufficient enamine, which is a possible intermediate in the allylation.[15] The current allylation of 2a can be applied to the reaction with trans-cinnamyl acetate (3b), affording the corresponding allylated product 1j in high yield and with excellent enantioselectivity (Table [4], entry 12).
a Unless otherwise mentioned, the reaction was carried out with 2 (0.5 mmol), 3 (1.0 mmol), 4k (0.1 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (0.025 mmol), and P(4-FC6H4)3 (0.05 mmol) in toluene (0.6 mL) at 25 °C.
b Yield of isolated product 1. nr = no reaction.
c Determined by chiral HPLC analysis. nd = not determined.
d The reaction was carried out at 40 °C.
e Increased amounts of Pd(OAc)2 (0.05 mmol) and P(4-FC6H4)3 (0.10 mmol) were used.
By comparing the spectroscopic data with those reported previously, both cyclic product 1a and acyclic product 1f were found to be R-enantiomers.[16] With these results, a plausible mechanism was proposed for the stereocontrol of the allylation (Scheme [2]). By the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between NH and CO, enamine Im-1, generated from β-ketoester 2 and amino acid 4k, possibly adopts Z-geometry. Next, the acetate ion of a π-allylpalladium complex, generated from Pd(OAc)2, P(4-FC6H4)3, and allyl acetate 3a, is exchanged with the carboxyl group of Im-1, affording Im-2.[10] [17] As the Re-face of the α-carbon atom of the enamine comes closer to the π-allylpalladium moiety as compared to the Si-face, allylation predominantly occurs at the Re-face, furnishing an R-enantiomer.


In conclusion, a primary amino acid, O-TBDPS l-threonine (4k), is an effective asymmetric catalyst for the α-allylation of α-substituted β-ketoesters, particularly 2-oxocycloalkanecarboxylates. Allylation proceeds under mild reaction conditions, furnishing various α-allylated β-ketoesters possessing a quaternary carbon stereogenic center in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities.
Ketoesters 2a,b,d,f,h were purchased and used after distillation; ketoesters 2c,[18a] 2e,[18b] 2g,[18c] and 2i [18d] were synthesized according to literature procedures. Allyl acetates 3a,b were purchased and used after distillation. Amino acids 4a–e were purchased and used without purification. O-Silylated l-tyrosines 4f,g, l-serines 4h,i, and l-threonines 4j,k were synthesized according to the literature.[13] Palladium catalysts and phosphine ligands were purchased and used without purification. Purification of the products was accomplished by column chromatography on Kanto Chemical Co., Inc.� Silicagel 60N (spherical, neutral; 63–210 µm). Specific rotations were measured using a HORIBA SEPA-500 polarimeter. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a JNM-ECS400 FT NMR spectrometer. Chemical shifts (δ) are referenced with respect to TMS as an internal standard. HPLC was carried out using a JASCO PU-2089 Plus intelligent pump and a UV-2075 Plus UV detector.
Ethyl (R)-1-(Prop-2-enyl)-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (1a); Typical Procedure
To a 7 mL vial were added Pd(OAc)2 (5.6 mg, 0.025 mmol), P(4-F-C6H4)3 (15.6 mg, 0.05 mmol), O-TBDPS l-threonine (4k) (35.7 mg, 0.1 mmol) and toluene (0.6 mL). After the mixture became homogeneous, allyl acetate (3a) (100 mg, 1 mmol) and ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (2a) (78 mg, 0.5 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred for 24 h at 25 °C. The resulting mixture was filtered through a small plug of silica gel, eluted with Et2O (4 × 1 mL) and concentrated under reduced pressure. Ethyl (R)-1-(prop-2-enyl)-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (1a) was isolated by column chromatography (silica gel, hexane–Et2O, 9:1). The enantioselectivity was determined by chiral HPLC analysis. The absolute configuration was determined by comparison of the specific rotation with that reported in the literature.[6a] Spectroscopic data are in agreement with the published data.[4]
