摘要

The palladium-catalyzed asymmetric decarboxylative allylic alkylation of trifluoromethoxy allyl enol carbonates afforded enantioenriched alpha-trifluoromethoxy allyl ketones that feature a tetrasubstituted alpha-stereogenic center in excellent yield and high enantioselectivity. The method was further extended to the asymmetric synthesis of alpha-difluoromethoxy and alpha-methoxy allyl ketones, which proceeded under similar catalytic conditions.
