Abstract

Catalytic enantioselective tandem carbonyl ylide formation-intramolecular 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of 2-diazo-3, 6-diketoesters show promising scope in terms of asymmetric induction as the tethered alkene/alkyne dipolarophile component is varied. Cycloadditions were found to occur in moderate to very good yields, with a difference in ee exhibited by the electronically different 2-diazo-3, 6-diketoesters 1, 25 and 33, 34. Values ...
