Highly Enantioselective Allylation of Aromatic α‐Keto Phosphonates Catalyzed by Chiral N,N′‐Dioxide‐Indium(III) Complexes

Abstract
The ramipril derivative N,N′‐dioxide 3g‐indium(III) complex was found to be an efficient catalyst for the allylation of the aromatic α‐keto phosphonates. The corresponding α‐hydroxy phosphonates were obtained with high yields (up to 98 %) and high enantioselectivities (up to 91 % ee). A bifunctional catalyst system was described with an N‐oxide as Lewis base activating tetraallyltin and indium as Lewis acid activating aromatic α‐keto phosphonates. A possible catalytic cycle has been proposed to explain the mechanism of the reaction.
