Graphical Abstract

An enantioselective intramolecular hydroacylation of 3-enals involving alkene isomerization was developed for the efficient construction of C3-chirogenic cyclopentanones with satisfactory yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities.

Abstract

A new transformation pattern for enantioselective intramolecular hydroacylation has been developed involving an alkene isomerization strategy. Proceeding through a five-membered rhodacycle intermediate, 3-enals were converted to C3- or C3,C5-chirogenic cyclopentanones with satisfactory yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities. A catalytic cycle has been theoretically calculated and the origin of the stereoselection is rationally explained.
