Abstract

1,2,5-Triol derivatives with vicinal chiral centers have been synthesized from simple starting materials by one-pot method in good yields and with an excellent enantioselectivity. This process was promoted by a chiral secondary amine and iridium(I) cocatalyzed three-component reaction of aryldiazoacetates and alcohols with enals as electrophiles followed by a reduction with NaBH4. Iridium(I)-associated oxonium ylide intermediates were efficiently generated and successfully trapped by the amine-activated enals via a selective 1,4-addition manner, generating enantioselective three-component coupling products.
