摘要: Upon exposure of acrylic ester 1 to alcohols 2a-i in the presence a cyclometalated iridium catalyst modified by (-)-TMBTP, catalytic C-C coupling occurs, providing enantiomerically enriched 5-substituted α-exo-methylene γ-butyrolactones 3a-i. Bromination methylene butyrolactone products followed zinc-mediated reductive aldehyde addition provides disubstituted 6a and 6b with good excellent levels diastereoselectivity.
