Significance

The formation of metal enolates allows for precise enolization, as well as potential enantio- and diastereoselective enolization. In this report, the authors apply this idea to a copper-catalyzed conjugate boration–aldol cyclization sequence to produce enantioenriched decalin-, hydrindane- and diquinone-based products.

Comment

The copper–bisphosphine catalyst system developed, produces decalins as well as [5,6]-, [6,5]-, and [5,5]-bicyclic ring products with high levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Kinetic resolution of a racemic chiral enone also afforded the cyclization product with good diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
