Abstract
A new method for CuF-catalyzed alkenylation and phenylation of aldehydes and an activated ketone using air- and moisture-stable alkenylsilanes and phenylsilane as a nucleophile is described. This methodology was extended to highly enantioselective catalytic alkenylation and phenylation using DTBM-SEGPHOS as a chiral ligand. Substrate generality is broad, and an alkenylsilane with a long alkyl chain and an internal alkenylsilane can be also used as a nucleophile. The key to success partly involves the accelerated regeneration of reactive alkenylcopper and phenylcopper through transmetalation from the silylated nucleophiles, and stabilization of the reactive copper reagents, both of which are effected by the diphosphine ligands.Keywords
