Selective [4+2] cycloaddition: A mechanistically unusual approach for a highly enantioselective [4+2] cycloaddition between rhodium-stabilized vinylcarbenes and siloxydienes was developed. The reaction is initiated by attack of the diene at the vinylogous position of the vinylcarbene and the outcome is dependent of the reacting conformation of the vinylcarbene intermediate.
Abstract
The reaction of 2-siloxycyclo-1,3-dienes with E-vinyldiazoacetates in the presence of the bulky chiral dirhodium tetracarboxylate catalyst, Rh2(R-p-PhTPCP)4 results in an enantioselective [4+2] cycloaddition, in which three new stereogenic centers are formed. The [4+2] cycloadducts are generated as single diastereomers with high enantiocontrol (95–98 % ee). When the diene contains an additional stereogenic center, effective kinetic resolution can be achieved.

- 15The relative and absolute stereochemistry in the formation of 22 is tentatively assigned by analogy to the previous [4+3] cycloaddition studies (see ref. [3]), and the observation that the Rh2(S-DOSP)4 catalyst gives the opposite enantiomer to Rh2(R-p-PhTPCP)4 during the cyclopropanation stage, as reported in: S. Negretti, C. M. Cohen, J. J. Chang, D. M. Guptil, H. M. L. Davies, Tetrahedron 2015, 71, 7415.
- 16The crystal structure has been deposited at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre, and the deposition number CCDC 1575130 has been allocated.
- 17The absolute configuration of compound 43 has not been unambiguously determined but is tentatively assigned by analogy to the X-Ray determined absolute configuration observed for the cycloaddition products.
