This approach permits a quantitative comparison of any given number of chiral catalysts relative to a ‘benchmarking’ chiral catalyst – a particularly useful tool since catalyst design and selection have remained largely dependent on chemical intuition. We apply this benchmarking approach towards an asymmetric <i>N</i>-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed intramolecular Stetter reaction as a proof-of-concept study. In doing so, we demonstrate a rapid method to assess the complex interplay between catalyst reactivity and stereoelectronic effects – an analytical approach that has heretofore not been attempted for NHCs. To showcase the generality of this method, we apply it to an enantioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition of alkenyl isocyanates and aryl alkynes for a series of chiral phosphoramidite ligands. The results described herein demonstrate that this inexpensive and easily adoptable protocol can reveal complex yet subtle steric and stereoelectronic effects of vastly different chiral catalyst structures, which can further aid with catalyst development and selection for a clearly defined application.</p> ","PeriodicalId":22319,"journal":{"name":"Synlett","volume":"144 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140199211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
