Abstract
An enantioselective radical alkylation of 4-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines with Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts has been reported. The SN2-type products are predominant. This reaction is enabled by dual photoredox/palladium catalysis. The alkylation products are provided in good yields with good regio- and enantioselectivity. The use of Ding's spiroketal-based bis(phosphine) (SKP) ligand is crucial to achieving satisfactory regio- and enantioselectivity. The resultant α,β-unsaturated ester can be easily reduced to a synthetically useful chiral allyl alcohol.
