The first asymmetric halogen/metal-exchange reaction: Desymmetrization of alcohols with enantiotopic bromoarene substituents

Desymmetrizations of the prochiral bis(bromoaryl)alcohols 1 and 4 were effected by treatment with iPr2Mg and enantiomerically pure lithium alkoxides. The resulting arylmagnesium compounds were quenched with various electrophiles. The absolute and (if relevant) relative configurations of the resulting products were determined. The best ee/yield combination was obtained for the protonolysis furnishing monobromoalcohol (R)-2 (53% ee, 51% yield). The latter was converted into (R)-orphenadrine, an antihistaminic and anticholinergic drug.

Hydrosilylation of o-allylstyrene with trichlorosilane in the presence of 0.3 mol % of a palladium catalyst bearing triphenylphosphine gave trans-1-methyl-2-(trichlorosilylmethyl)indan, l-(2-(2-propenyl)phenyl)-1-trichlorosilylethane, and 1-(2-((E)-1-propenyl)phenyl)-1-trichlorosilylethane. The reaction of styrene with trichlorosilane gave a quantitative yield of 1-phenyl-1-(trichlorosilyl)ethane while allylbenzene did not give silylation products under the same reaction conditions. These results show that the hydropalladation process is operative in the hydrosilylation of styrene derivatives with trichlorosilane catalyzed by palladium-phosphine complexes.
