Abstract

Generation of chiral palladium enolates from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with the palladium aqua complex and its application to the highly efficient catalytic enantioselective Michael reaction with enones are described. The palladium aqua complexes are likely to supply Brønsted base and Brønsted acid successively during the reaction. The former activates the carbonyl compounds to give chiral palladium enolates, and the latter cooperatively activates enones. Using a catalytic amount (2-10 mol %) of the palladium complexes, the various 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds including diketones and beta-ketoesters were converted to the desired Michael adducts in good yields (69-92%) with excellent enantiomeric excesses (89-99% ee).
