Chiral polycyclic ketones via desymmetrization of dihaloolefins
Abstract
3-Chloronorbornenone (R)-1a (98% ee) was obtained from trichloronorbornene 5 in two steps by the in situ generation of dichloronorbornadiene 2a with t-BuOK and desymmetrization with (-)-ephedrine, followed by hydrolysis with PPTS. The generality of this desymmetrization with (-)-ephedrine was tested with dibromonorbornadiene 2c and other substituted dichloronorbornadienes.
