          Abstract

          Catalytic tandem conjugate addition-enolate trapping represents an effective strategy for the design of catalytic transformations that enable formation of multiple C-C bonds. Recently, using enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed conjugate addition methodology, we developed a catalytic tandem conjugate addition-aldol cyclization of keto-enones. Here, we report related desymmetrizations and parallel kinetic resolutions involving the use of diones as terminal electrophiles. The Rh-enolate generated on enone carbometallation effectively discriminates among four diastereotopic pi-faces of the appendant dione, ultimately providing products that embody four contiguous stereocenters, including two adjacent quaternary centers, with quantitative diastereoselection and high levels of enantiomeric excess. This methodology allows concise entry to optically enriched seco-B ring steroids possessing a 14-hydroxy cis-fused C-D ring junction, as found in naturally occurring cardiotonic steroids derived from digitalis.

            Catalytic cycle of rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of organoboronic acids. Arylrhodium, oxa-pi-allylrhodium, and hydroxorhodium intermediates.

            The catalytic cycle of asymmetric 1,4-addition of phenylboronic acid to an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone catalyzed by a rhodium-binap complex was established by use of RhPh(PPh(3))(binap) as a key intermediate. The reaction proceeds through three intermediates, phenylrhodium, oxa-pi-allylrhodium, and hydroxorhodium complexes, all of which were observed in NMR spectroscopic studies. The transformations between the three intermediates, that is, insertion, hydrolysis, and transmetalation, were also observed. On the basis of the catalytic cycle, a more active chiral catalyst, [Rh(OH)(binap)](2), was found and used successfully for the asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions.

              A chiral chelating diene as a new type of chiral ligand for transition metal catalysts: its preparation and use for the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition.

              As a new type of chiral ligand, a C2-symmetric norbornadiene derivative (1R,4R)-2,5-dibenzylbicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene (1) was prepared and used for the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric addition of organoboron and -tin reagents to alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones, which gave high yields of the 1,4-addition products with up to 99% enantioselectivity.
