Asymmetric pt(II)-catalyzed ene reactions: Counterion-dependent additive and diphosphine electronic effects

Catalysis of the glyoxylate-ene reaction by dicationic P2Pt(II) complexes is subject to anion-dependent additive effects. For [((S)-MeOBiphep)-Pt](OTf)(2) catalysts, acidic phenols such as 3-CF3-C6H3OH or C6F5OH provide substantial rate increases but do not affect the more active SbF6-based catalyst...

Summary:Catalysis of the glyoxylate-ene reaction by dicationic P2Pt(II) complexes is subject to anion-dependent additive effects. For [((S)-MeOBiphep)-Pt](OTf)(2) catalysts, acidic phenols such as 3-CF3-C6H3OH or C6F5OH provide substantial rate increases but do not affect the more active SbF6-based catalysts. Enantioselectivity and reactivity also increased with diphosphine basicity, with 4-t-Bu-substituted MeOBiphep ligands yielding the highest enantioselectivities.
