Chiral biphenols catalyze the enantioselective asymmetric propargylation of ketones using allenylboronates. The reaction uses 10 mol % of 3,3'-Br(2)-BINOL as the catalyst and allenyldioxoborolane as the nucleophile, in the absence of solvent, and under microwave irradiation to afford the homopropargylic alcohol. The reaction products are obtained in good yields (60-98%) and high enantiomeric ratios (3:1-99:1). Diastereoselective propargylations using chiral racemic allenylboronates result in good diastereoselectivities (dr >86:14) and enantioselectivities (er >92:8) under the catalytic conditions.

The direct enantioselective functionalization of C(sp)-H bonds in organic molecules could fundamentally transform the synthesis of chiral molecules. In particular, the enantioselective oxidation of these bonds would dramatically change the production methods of chiral alcohols and esters, which are prevalent in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. Remarkable advances have been made in the enantioselective construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds through the C(sp)-H bond functionalization.

Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed enantioselective formal (3+3) and (3+2) cycloaddition reaction of isatin-derived tertiary propargylic esters with N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid and 4-hydroxycoumarins, respectively. In this process, the tertiary propargylic ester serves as both C3- and C2-synthons, facilitating the synthesis of optically active spirooxindole-pyran and furan scaffolds featuring an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter. The reaction delivers these spirocyclic frameworks in good yields with high enantioselectivities.

Catalytic asymmetric α-alkylation of simple carboxylic acid derivatives is a challenging issue due to the difficulties in achieving high catalytic efficiency and controlling the enantioselectivity. Herein, by using a copper(I)-()-DTBM-SEGPHOS complex as a catalyst and 2-acylimidazoles as pronucleophiles, a general method for the catalytic asymmetric α-alkylation of simple carboxylic acid derivatives is accomplished. Various alkyl electrophiles, including allyl bromides, benzyl bromides, propargyl bromide, and unactivated alkyl sulfonates, serve as efficient alkylation reagents.
