Abstract
The first enantioenriched synthesis of 1,1,3-trisubstituted (trifluoromethyl)indene derivatives, bearing a quaternary stereogenic carbon center, is reported using a simple chiral sulfinamide phosphine-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of a mixture of indenes with Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates. The resulting derivatives can serve as a valuable synthetic building block for some drugs and natural products. Broad substrate scope and high regio- and enantioselectivity of this reaction were particularly remarkable.
