The catalytic enantioselective formation of tetrasubstituted a-alkoxycarbonyl compounds is an ongoing challenge to synthetic chemists.[1] Fully substituted a-hydroxyesters and acids comprise essential components of, and building blocks for, many bioactive natural products (see Figure 1). These include quinic acid (1), cytotoxic leiodolide A (2),[2] and the anticancer agents in the harringtonine series (3a–f), whose activities depend dramatically on the presence and composition of an a-hydroxyester side-chain.[3] While many approaches to these important moieties exist,[4, 5] we envisioned applying our recently developed palladium-catalyzed methods for the formation of enantioenriched all-carbon quaternary stereocenters in cyclic alkanones [6] to a general synthesis of C (a)-tetrasubstituted hydroxy carbonyl compounds.[7]
