Treatment of α,β-unsaturated acid chlorides 5, 6, 14, 17, and 18 with NEt3 in toluene at reflux generates, stereo- and regiospecifically, the vinylketene which undergoes a facile intramolecular cycloaddition.

The direct asymmetric copper hydride (CuH)-catalyzed coupling of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids to aryl alkenes to access chiral α-aryl dialkyl ketones is reported. A variety of substrate substitution patterns, sensitive functional groups, and heterocycles are tolerated in this reaction, which significantly expands the range of accessible products compared with existing hydroacylation methodology. Although mechanistic studies are ongoing, we propose that CuH-catalyzed silylation of unsaturated acids occurs to access a uniquely effective acyl electrophilic coupling partner.
