The bioactivity and the synthetic utility of enantioenriched alkyl halides provide a strong impetus for the development of stereoselective methods for their synthesis.[1] In recent years, a number of reports have described remarkable progress in the discovery of catalytic asymmetric approaches to this family of compounds (particularly, α-halocarbonyls [2, 3]); nearly all of these processes generate secondary alkyl halides.[1] In contrast, there has been limited success in the development of catalysts for the enantioselective synthesis of tertiary halides.[4–6] Here, we describe progress toward addressing this challenge, specifically, a method for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of tertiary α-chloroesters [7–9] from ketenes [Eq.(1)].[10, 11]In early studies, we examined the reaction of phenyl ethyl ketene with various chlorinating agents under a range of conditions (eg, entries 1–4 of Table 1). In the presence of PPY*, a planar-chiral derivative of 4-(pyrrolidino) pyridine (PPY),[12] additions of reagents such as N-chlorosuccinimide,[3b] 2,[5d] and 3 [10a] to the ketene proceed in poor yield and/or enantioselectivity (entries 1 and 2, Table 1). On the other hand, reaction with hexachloroacetone [13] cleanly furnishes
