The homologation of ketones with diazo compounds was a useful strategy to synthesize one-carbon chain-extended acyclic such as PhC(O)CMeCO2MeR [R = allyl, Bn, CH2(2-naphthyl), etc.] or ring-expanded cyclic ketones e.g., I. However, the asym. homologation of acyclic ketones with α-diazo esters remains a challenge due to the lower reactivity and complicated selectivity. Herein, the enantioselective catalytic homologation of acetophenone and related derivatives with α-alkyl α-diazo esters was reported utilizing a chiral scandium(III) N,N’-dioxide as the Lewis acid catalyst. This reaction supplies a highly chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective pathway for the synthesis of optically active β-keto esters with an all-carbon quaternary center through highly selective alkyl-group migration of the ketones. Moreover, the ring expansion of cyclic ketones was accomplished under slightly modified conditions, affording a series of enantioenriched cyclic β-keto esters. D. functional theory calculations was carried out to elucidate the reaction pathway and possible working models that could explain the observed regio- and enantioselectivity.
Different reactions of this compound(Methyl 3-bromopropanoate)Synthetic Route of C4H7BrO2 require different conditions, so the reaction conditions are very important.
