Abstract

Direct enantioselective allylic C—H functionalization has emerged as a powerful strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of highly valuable chiral products. Herein, a Rh(III)-catalyzed enantioselective allylic C—H alkylation of unactivated alkenes with α-diazo carbonyl compounds is described, enabling direct access to chiral products with high efficiency (up to 77% yield, 92% ee, and >10∶1 B/L (branched/linear) selectivity). This atom-and step-economical protocol directly converts simple, unactivated substrates into valuable enantioenriched products under mild conditions, providing an efficient catalytic system for asymmetric allylic C—H functionalization.

1 Introduction

Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) has emerged as a versatile and efficient method for the enantioselective construction of allylic stereocenters, which are pivotal motifs in bioactive molecules and chiral synthons.[1] The past two decades have seen transformative advances in transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation, where palladium, rhodium and iridium have emerged as the dominant catalytic platforms, enabling precise stereocontrol in the construction of challenging allylic stereocenters.[2] In these transformations, the choice of ally-lic electrophiles is critical for achieving optimal reactivity and selectivity. Early studies on rhodium-and iridium-catalyzed systems predominantly employed linear allylic esters as substrates. However, recent efforts have shifted toward the use of more sustainable branched allylic alcohols, offering both environmental and synthetic advan-tages.[3] Notably, allenes have been successfully employed as versatile substrates in asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions (Scheme 1a).[4] Recent breakthroughs include Carreiraʼs work in 2018,[5] where they developed an Ir-cata-lyzed allylation of branched allylic carbonates using trimethyl orthoacetate as an enolate surrogate. Around the same time, the Youʼs group[6] reported an asymmetric Rh-catalyzed allylic alkylation of branched alcohols with 1,3-diketones, employing readily available allylic alcohols as starting materials while achieving high regio-and enantio-selectivity for both aryl and aliphatic allylic alcohols. More recently, Yang and coworkers demonstrated an iridium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of racemic branched alkyl-substituted allylic acetates or alcohols with malonates (Scheme 1a).[7]
Scheme 1 Transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions
The development of sustainable and atom-economical methodologies for C—C bond formation is a significant challenge in synthetic chemistry. The ability to convert inert C—H bonds into C—C bonds has driven the development of various atom-and step-efficient strategies.[8] Among these, transition metal-catalyzed allylic C—H bond functionalization has emerged as a particularly promising approach for accessing complex molecular structures and enabling efficient late-stage functionalization.[9] Recently, Jeganmohan and coworkers reported a Rh(III)-catalyzed allylic C—H alkylation of unactivated alkenes using diazo compounds, proceeding via a migratory insertion mechanism (Scheme 1b).[10] Notably, this approach selectively suppresses competing pathways such as cyclopropanation, allylic olefination, and carbene dimerization, thereby enabling efficient and direct C—C bond formation at the allylic position. While remarkable progress has been achieved in transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric allylic functionalization, the direct enantioselective allylic C—H alkylation of unactivated alkenes remains an unsolved challenge. The formidable obstacles stem from two fundamental limitations: (i) the pronounced thermodynamic stability of allylic C—H bonds in simple alkenes, and (ii) the intricate stereoelectronic requirements for simultaneous regio-and enantiocontrol in C—H activation processes. Inspired by Jeganmohan's study, we propose that chiral cyclopentadienyl rhodium(III) CpxRhIII catalysts would provide an efficient and selective approach for achieving asymmetric allylic C—H alkylation of unactivated alkenes. This approach harnesses three key design elements: (1) the inherent electrophilicity of RhIII centers for efficient C—H bond cleavage, (2) the rigid, well-defined chiral environment of the Cpx ligand provides optimal steric control for enantio-selectivity; and (3) the tunable nature of the catalyst system allows for the regulation of regiochemical outcomes (Scheme 1c).

2 Results and discussion

Our investigation began with the enantioselective C—H allylation of unactivated 1-octene (1a) using dibenzyl 2-diazomalonate (2a) under Rh(III) catalysis.[11] Initial conditions employing chiral CpxRh(III) complex Rh-1 with AgSbF6/Cu(OAc)2 additives in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) at 25 ℃ under N2 afforded the branched product 3a with modest efficiency (42% yield, 56% ee, B/L (branched/ linear)=1.5∶1; Table 1, Entry 1). Screening of BINOL-derived CpxRh(III) catalysts (Rh-2 to Rh-5) proved unsatisfactory, yielding 3a with poor to moderate results (20%~35% yield, 15%~51% ee, B∶L=1.2∶1~2.3∶1; Entries 2~5). Solvent evaluation revealed that TFE was the optimal solvent (Entries 6~8). Control experiments established the essential role of AgSbF6, as no reaction occurred in its absence (Entry 9). Optimal performance was achieved with 2.0 equiv. of AgSbF6, providing 3a with good yield, high enantioselectivity and B/L ratio (Entry 11, 71% yield, 87% ee, B∶L=3.1∶1). AgSbF6 served as a critical additive for the generation of the active cationic Rh(III) catalyst, thereby increasing the system's reactivity and chiral induction. Notably, alternative silver or copper additives consistently diminished both yield and enantioselectivity.

a Reaction conditions: 1a (0.3 mmol), 2a (0.1 mmol), Rh cat (2.5 mol%), AgSbF6 (x eqiuv.), Cu(OAc)2 (2.0 equiv.), solvent (0.2 mol/L), r.t., 18 h. Isolated yields (branched and linear). Determined by HPLC analysis on a chiral stationary phase. The radiometric ratio (branched/linear) was obtained by analysis of the 1H NMR spectra of the crude reaction mixtures.

With optimized conditions established, the substrate scope using various unactivated aliphatic alkenes was explored. As shown in Table 2, the reaction delivered products 3b~3f in 45%~77% yields, 85%~92% ee, and 1.1∶1~4.8∶1 B/L ratios. Allylbenzene-type substrates afforded product 3g in good yield and ee, but with low B/L selectivity. Other aromatic ring-substituted alkenes also provided the corresponding products 3h~3j in moderate yields, enantioselectivity and B/L ratios. The reaction demonstrated excellent tolerance toward terminal alkenes bearing halogen, hydroxyl and ester groups, yielding the desired products 3k~3q (47%~72% yields, 71%~89% ee, 2∶1~>10∶1 B/L). The heterocyclic ester-substituted alkene was suitable for asymmetric allylic alkylation, yielding product 3r with 38% yield, 75% ee enantioselectivity and 2∶1 B/L ratio. Electron-withdrawing groups (OTs, N-Ts) afforded products 3s~3t in 66%~70% yields with moderate ee and B/L ratios.

Enantiomeric excess was determined by HPLC analysis. Regiomeric ratio (branched/linear) was determined by analysis of the 1H NMR spectra of the crude reaction mixtures. b 40 ℃, 48 h.

Next, we tested diazo compounds with 1-octene 1a. As shown in Table 3, benzyl-and phenyl-substituted diazo compounds reacted smoothly, yielding products 3a and 3u with good yields, enantioselectivity, and B/L ratios. Ethyl-substituted diazo ester derivatives were also compatible, yielding product 3v in 48% yield with 82% ee and 2.5∶1 B/L ratio. Subsequent evaluation of diazo substrates bearing substituted aryl groups revealed that chloro-, bromo-and methyl-substituted derivatives were well tolerated, providing products 3w~3y in moderate to good yields with 60%~73% ee and 2.5∶1~3.3∶1 B/L ratios.

a Reaction conditions: 1a (0.3 mmol), 2 (0.1 mmol), Rh-1 (2.5 mol%), AgSbF6 (2.0 equiv.), Cu(OAc)2 (2.0 equiv.), TFE (0.2 mol/L), r.t., 18 h. Isolated yields (branched and linear). Enantiomeric excess was determined by HPLC analysis. Regiomeric ratio (branched/linear) was determined by analysis of the 1H NMR spectra of the crude reaction mixtures.

To demonstrate the synthetic utility of this methodology, a 1.0 mmol scale reaction to afford 3a without loss of enantiomeric excess was performed (Scheme 2a). The versatility of 3a was further demonstrated by its derivatization, affording allylation product 4 and hydrolysis product 5 (Scheme 2b).
Scheme 2 Scale-up reaction and synthetic applications
To probe the mechanism, competitive and parallel kinetic isotope effect (KIE) experiments were performed (Schemes 3a, 3b). The observed competitive KIE (kH/kD=6.7) and parallel KIE (kH/kD=2.9) values strongly suggest that allylic C—H bond cleavage represents the rate-determining step in the catalytic cycle.[12]
Scheme 3 Mechanistic investigation
Based on these results, the mechanism outlined in Scheme 4 was proposed. The active cationic Rh(III) catalyst I forms upon treatment of the chiral CpxRh(III) complex with AgSbF6 in the presence of pivalate. Coordination of alkene 1 to complex I generates intermediate II, which undergoes rate-and enantio-determining allylic C—H activation to form the π-allyl Rh(III) complex III.[13] Subsequent reaction with diazo compound 2 leads to carbene formation, yielding the key Rh(V)-carbene intermediate IV.[10] Reductive elimination from IV affords complex V, which undergoes protonolysis to release product 3 while regenerating the active catalyst.

3 Conclusions

In summary, we report a chiral CpxRh(III)-catalyzed enantioselective allylic C—H alkylation of unactivated alkenes with α-diazocarbonyl compounds. This method features high atom economy, broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic investigations, including kinetic isotope effect studies, support a proposed pathway involving allylic C—H activation followed by carbene insertion. This methodology provides a strategic approach to asymmetric allylic C—H functionalization and advances the frontier of C—H activation catalysis. Novel investigations into the asymmetric activation of allylic C—H bonds are currently ongoing in our laboratory.

4.3 Synthesis of 4

To a solution of 3a (0.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) (0.4 mL), NaH (1.5 equiv.) was added portion wise at 0 ℃. This solution was allowed to stir for 30 min and allyl bromide (1.5 equiv.) was added to the solution slowly. Followed by the stirring of the reaction mixture at room temperature for next 12 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by the TLC analysis. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was filtered through the celite and washed with ethyl acetate (10 mL×2). The organic layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, concentrated under reduced pressure and subjected to column chromatographic purification, resulting into 4[10] as a yellow oil (32.5 mg, 75% yield, 87% ee).

4.4 Synthesis of 5

To a flame-dried RB charged with a stir bar were added 3a (1.0 equiv.) and 0.5 mL of ethanol. To the vial was added 0.5 mL of an ethanolic solution of KOH (14 mg, 2.5 equiv.). The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 h at room temperature under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was then concentrated to dryness and acidified with 1 mol/L HCl until precipitate stopped appearing. The resulting mixture was diluted with water and then extracted with EtOAc (10 mL×3). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 5 as a yellow oil (14.2 mg, 85% yield, B∶L=3.3∶1, 87% ee). Eluent: DCM/MeOH=80∶20. +4.32 (c 0.3, acetone; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 7.90 (s, 3H), 5.64 (dt, J=17.1, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 5.59~5.50 (m, 0.21H), 5.36 (dt, J=9.2, 5.8 Hz, 0.28H), 5.18~5.06 (m, 2H), 3.43 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 2.80~2.68 (m, 1H), 2.60 (s, 0.34H), 1.98 (p, J=7.0 Hz, 0.60H), 1.43~1.18 (m, 10H), 0.87 (t, J=6.6 Hz, 4H); 13C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl3) 13C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 173.84, 137.49, 118.23, 56.89, 44.58, 32.28, 31.61, 26.82, 22.65, 14.16, 14.14.
