Abstract

Insertion of 1,2-disubstituted alkynes into [Pd(CH3)(CO)(BIOX)] + [B{3,5-(CF3)2C6H 3}4]-1 (1), where BIOX = (4S,4′S)-(-)-4,4′,5, 5′-tetrahydro-4,4′-bis(1-methylethyl)-2,2′-bioxazole, leads to the formation of five-membered palladacycles, which, by reaction with carbon monoxide, produce a mixture of two diastereomeric forms of a palladium complex containing an η3-allylic γ-lactone ligand. On leaving the mixture in solution, one isomer was converted into the other, reaching a diastereomeric excess of up to 94%. The steric and electronic factors responsible for the epimerization process were investigated by theoretical methods. Cleavage of the η3-allyl-palladium bond by nucleophiles allowed highly substituted chiral butenolides to be synthesized in good enantiomeric excess. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
