Abstract
The development of a method for the optimization of chiral ligands for the steric steering of enantioselective Cu-catalyzed conjugate additions of Znalkyls to enones is described. The method is based on combinatorial principles and solid-phase techniques. It includes the combinatorial synthesis of chiral bispidine-derived ligands embodying a phosphoramidite group on the solid phase and their investigation in immobilized form in the conjugate addition of ZnEt2 to cyclohexenone as test reaction. The best identified ligands were also synthesized separately and investigated in its soluble form. The results obtained for the polymer-bound ligands correctly mirrored the performance of the soluble ligands. The library embodied members giving ee values varying between 3 and 67%. The "positional scanning" approach proved to be invalid for the study of the ligand system, indicating that this approach in general should be applied with care. Taken together, the method allowed for rapid and efficient optimization of the ligands and led to the development of the first enantioselective, Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition reaction with a polymer-bound ligand.
