The development of new catalytic enantioselective methods is routinely carried out using easily accessible and prototypical substrates. This approach to reaction development often yields asymmetric methods that perform poorly using substrates sterically or electronically dissimilar to those used during the reaction optimization campaign. Consequently, expanding the scope of previously optimized catalytic asymmetric reactions to include new substrates is decidedly non-trivial. Here we address this challenge through the development of a systematic workflow to broaden the applicability and reliability of asymmetric conjugate additions to substrates conventionally regarded as sterically and electronically challenging. The copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of alkylzirconium nucleophiles to form tertiary centers, although successful for linear alkyl chains, fails for more sterically demanding linear α,β-unsaturated ketones. Key to adapting this method to obtain high enantioselectivity was the discovery of new phosphoramidite ligands, designed using quantitative structure-selectivity relationships (QSSR). Iterative rounds of model construction and ligand synthesis were executed in parallel to evaluate the performance of twenty chiral ligands. The copper-catalyzed asymmetric addition is now more broadly applicable, even tolerating linear enones bearing tert-butyl β-substituents. The presence of common functional groups is tolerated in both nucleophiles and electrophiles, giving up to 99% yield and 95% ee across twenty examples.

While 3,3-dimethylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-one (5) is stable under strongly basic conditions (t-BuO−/t-BuOH/185 °C), its isomer, 3,3-dimethylbicyclo[3.2.2]nonan-2-one (6), is slowly transformed to 5. Similarly, 3,3-dimethylbicyclo-[3.2.2]non-6-en-2-one (8b) rearranges to a [3.3.1] isomer but the latter is not stable. Experiments with 3,3-dimethylbicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-en-2-one (7) revealed that it is converted to five compounds, none of which is 8b. The major product, 8,8-dimethylbicyclo[4.3.0]non-1(6),-en-7-one (11) arises from β-enolate rearrangement. Enone 11 undergoes slow reduction to cis- and trans-8,8-dimethylbicyclo[4.3.0]nonan-7-one, presumably by single electron transfer. Experiments with 11 alone showed that β-enolate rearrangement of 7 → 11 is unidirectional. Haller–Bauer cleavage to acidic products occurs as a minor process in the reactions of the unsaturated ketones. The structures of the products were established primarily from their 1H and 13C magnetic resonance spectra.
