Peptide-based catalysts offer attractive and practical options in the development of asymmetric transformations. Peptides are easily prepared, consist of readily available chiral building blocks and are modular. Largely due to these attractive attributes, metalpeptide complexes have recently been demonstrated to initiate asymmetric CC bond forming reactions. 1 Research in these laboratories, involving peptide-based phenolic Schiff bases as chiral ligands (eg, 1, Scheme 1), has led to the development of Ti-catalyzed additions of TMSCN to meso epoxides2 and imines (Strecker amino acid synthesis), 3 and Zr-catalyzed addition of dialkylzincs to imines. 4 The effectiveness of peptidic ligands in the aforementioned programs led us to investigate their utility in promoting catalytic enantioselective olefin alkylations with alkylmetals. 5Herein, we report the results of our studies on catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition of dialkylzinc reagents to cyclic enones. 6, 7 These transformations are promoted by (CuOTf) 2 ‚C6H6 in conjunction with peptide-based chiral phosphine ligands (2, Scheme 1). 8 The method described allows for efficient, catalytic, and highly enantioselective (> 95% ee) functionalization of not only six-and seven-membered ring enones, but also of cyclopentenones. It is worth noting that the catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition of alkylmetals to five-membered ring enones has previously been shown to be significantly less efficient and selective than reactions of the larger ring analogues. 7
