- Abstract
Stereodivergent dual catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool to selectively prepare all four stereoisomers in molecules containing two chiral centers from common starting materials. Most processes involve the use of two substrates, and it remains challenging to use dual catalyst approaches to generate molecules having three newly formed stereocenters with high diastereo‐ and enantioselectivity. Here we report a multicomponent, stereodivergent method for the synthesis of targets containing three contiguous stereocenters by the combination of enantioselective Rh‐catalyzed conjugate addition and Ir‐catalyzed allylic alkylation methodologies. Both cyclic and acyclic α,β‐unsaturated ketones undergo β‐arylation using aryl boron reagents to form an enolate nucleophile that can be subsequently allylated at the α‐position. The reactions proceed often with >95 % ee and with >90 : 10 dr. Epimerization at the α‐carbonyl center enables the preparation of any of the eight possible stereoisomers from common starting materials, as demonstrated for cyclohexanone products.
