Popis: | The development of a scalable process for the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of (isopropenyl)pinacolboronate to 2-cyclohexen-1-one is reported. High-throughput ligand screening and initial optimization studies identified DTBM-SEGPHOS as an effective ligand along with a heptane/MeOH mixed solvent system. An inhibitory effect of the pinacol byproduct was identified, which could be mitigated by the addition of a 1,3-diol such as neopentyl glycol (npg). This process was demonstrated on 1 kg scale with 0.6 mol % Rh, producing (S)-1 in 82% yield and 99.6% ee, and was successfully scaled up at a vendor on 100 kg scale. |
