Phosphine-catalyzed enantioselective 3 + 2 cycloadditions of γ-substituted allenoates with β-perfluoroalkyl enones

摘要

The enantioselective construction of densely functionalized cyclopentene bearing contiguous three stereocenters has been a challenging task in organic synthesis. Herein, we present a phoshine-catalyzed highly regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of γ-substituted allenoates with β-perfluoroalkyl enones, delivering a wide range of densely functionalized perfluoroalkylated cyclopentenes with three contiguous chiral stereocenters.
