Abstract
A ligand-controlled regiodivergent and enantioselective ring expansion of benzosilacyclobutenes with internal naphthyl alkynes has been achieved by adjusting the ligand cavity size. The ligand (S)-8H-binaphthyl phosphoramidite, featuring small methyl groups on its arms, provides a spacious cavity that favors sterically demanding Si–Csp3 ring expansion, predominantly yielding axially chiral (S)-1-silacyclohexenyl arenes. In contrast, the ligand (R)-spiro phosphoramidite, with bulky t-Bu groups on its arms, offers a compact cavity that facilitates less sterically demanding Si–Csp2 ring expansion, leading primarily to axially chiral (S)-2-silacyclohexenyl arenes. Density functional theory calculations delineate distinct mechanistic pathways for each ring expansion route and elucidate their regio- and enantioselectivity.
期刊介绍:
The flagship journal of the American Chemical Society, known as the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), has been a prestigious publication since its establishment in 1879. It holds a preeminent position in the field of chemistry and related interdisciplinary sciences. JACS is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research papers, covering a wide range of topics, and encompasses approximately 19,000 pages of Articles, Communications, and Perspectives annually. With a weekly publication frequency, JACS plays a vital role in advancing the field of chemistry by providing essential research.
