Abstract
Variation of the enantioselection of the copper-catalysed intramolecular Büchner reaction of diazoketones with the nature of the counterion is reported; significantly the presence of the noncoordinating BARF anion leads to enhanced enantioselectivities when the aryl group bears electron-withdrawing halo substituents.

General Experimental
Procedure
The CuCl-NaBARF-1 catalyst was generated in situ from a mixture
of CuCl (0.05 equiv), bis(oxazoline) ligand (0.06 equiv), and NaBARF
(0.06 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (160 mL), which were
stirred under nitrogen at 20 ˚C for 2 h. Diazoketone 2-5 (100
mg, 1 equiv) was then added dropwise over 1 h to the refluxing solution.
The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC and was found
to be complete after a total of 3 h at reflux. Evaporation of the solvent
at reduced pressure gave the crude product as green oil. A ¹H
NMR spectrum was recorded to determine the efficiency of the cyclisation.
Purification by flash chromatography, using EtOAc-hexane
as eluent, gave azulenones 6-9 as colourless oil. Spectral characteristics
for the azulenone 6 were identical to those
described earlier.
