Stereochemical modulation of ketyl radical cyclization enabled by pyridine-boryl radicals: catalytic diastereoselective synthesis of trans-2-alkyl-1-indanols

Abstract

Previously available ketyl radical cyclization conditions suffer from low and uncontrollable diastereoselectivity because of the absence of reagent–substrate interactions. In this report, stereochemical modulation was accomplished by taking advantage of the pyridine-boryl radical, which leaves the synthetically modifiable boronate moiety on the carbonyl oxygen near the reacting center during the stereo-determining cyclization step. In consequence, a catalytic diastereoselective synthesis of trans-2-substituted-1-indanols was achieved in the presence of a sterically congested six-membered diboronic ester and an efficient hydrogen atom donor.
