Abstract

The first highly enantioselective CuI -catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) of tertiary alcohols and their kinetic resolution is reported. This approach allows facile access to multifunctional tertiary alcohols featuring an α-ethynyl or α-triazole moiety, and represents the first successful kinetic resolution of racemates with a tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenter via CuAAC. Newly developed pyridinebisoxazoline (PYBOX) ligands with a C4 phosphonate group play a key role.
