RESUMO
The enantioselective cascade reaction between racemic 2-(1-hydroxyallyl)phenols and alkynols/alkynamides was realized by using a gold and iridium sequential catalytic system. In this procedure, the in situ generated exocyclic vinyl ethers or enamides undergo the asymmetric allylation/spiroketalization with π-ally-Ir amphiphilic species, which provides an efficient and straightforward access to spiroketals and spiroaminals with excellent enantioselectivities. Moreover, racemic 2-(1-hydroxyallyl)anilines were also suitable in this reaction along with a kinetic resolution process, affording enantioenriched spiroaminals and 2-(1-hydroxyallyl)anilines in good yields. The synthetic utility of this method has been demonstrated by efficient enantioselective synthesis of the analogue of Paecilospirone.

We reported herein an iridium/silver/acid ternary catalytic system to access bisbenzannulated [6,6]-spiroketals in high efficiency with generally high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20 : 1 dr, >99 % ee). In this procedure, readily available o-alkynylacetophenones undergo cycloisomerization to generate isochromenes in situ that participate in stereoselective allylation/spiroketalization sequence with 2-(1-hydroxyallyl)phenols. Meanwhile, 2-(1-hydroxyallyl)anilines were also compatible in this cascade reaction, furnishing structurally novel bisbenzannulated [6,6]-spiroaminals with good diastereoselectivities (8 : 1-12 : 1 dr) and excellent enantioselectivities (98 %->99 % ee). Moreover, experimental studies and theoretical calculations were performed to illustrate the reaction mechanism and stereochemistry.
