ABSTRACT
A new series of C1-symmetric P-chirogenic bisphosphine ligands of the type (R)-5,8-Si-Quinox-tBu3 (Silyl = SiMe3, SiEt3, SiMe2Ph) have been developed. The bulky silyl modulators attached to the ligand backbone fix the phosphine substituents to form rigid chiral environments that can be used for substrate recognition. The ligand showed high performances for a copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric borylative cyclopropanation of bulky silyl-substituted allylic electrophiles to afford higher disfavored 1,2-cis-silyl-boryl-cyclopropanes than the other possible isomers, trans-cyclopropane and allylboronate (up to 97% yield; 98% ee; cis/trans = >991; cyclopropane/allylboronate = >991). Detailed computational studies suggested that the highly rigid phosphine conformation, which is virtually undisturbed by the steric interactions with the bulky silyl-substituted allyl electrophiles, is key to the high stereo- and product-selectivities. Furthermore, the detailed computational analysis provided insight into the mechanism of the stereoretention or -inversion of the chiral alkylcopper(I) intermediate in the intramolecular cyclization.
