Abstract

An asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to RCH=CHCO2Ar (Ar = Ph or 4-acetylphenyl) was carried out at 50 ˚C in aqueous acetone in the presence of [Pd(chiraphos)(PhCN)2](SbF6)2. The reaction gave optically active β-aryl esters in up to 98% ee. The protocol provided a simple access to an endothelin receptor antagonist reported by SmithKline Beecham.

Key words

arylboronic acids - palladium catalyst - asymmetric reaction - conjugate addition - β-arylalkanoate - bioactive compound

General Procedure: A flask charged with [Pd((S,S)-chiraphos)(PhCN)2](SbF6)2 [(S,S)-3; 1 mol%], ArB(OH)2 (1.5 mmol) and 1 (0.5 mmol) was flushed with nitrogen. Acetone (2 mL) and H2O (0.2 mL) were then added. After stirring for 20 h at 50 ˚C, the product was isolated by chromatography on silica gel. The enantiomer excess was determined by Chiral HPLC using Daicel Chiralpak IA, IB or IC.
