Abstract
The asymmetric desymmetrization of 1,4-dienes via chiral N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed Stetter-type umpolung reaction was demonstrated. A variety of differently substituted dienes were tolerated very well, affording cyclic ketones with two consecutive stereogenic centers (including one quaternary carbon) in moderate to high yields and with high to excellent enantioselectivities. This work expanded both reaction types of catalytic diene desymmetrizations and substrate diversity in NHC catalyzed desymmetric transformations.
