Abstract

Efficient asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions are employed for the first time in total syntheses of chiral biaryl natural products korupensamine A and B in combination with an effective diastereoselective hydrogenation, allowing ultimately a concise and stereoselective synthesis of michellamine B. Chiral monophosphorus ligands L1-3 are effective for the syntheses of a series of functionalized chiral biaryls by asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions in excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). The presence of a polar-π interaction between the highly polarized BOP group and the extended π system of arylboronic acid coupling partner is believed to be important for the high enantioselectivity.
