Abstract
We
report the development of a new class of guanidine-containing peptides
as multifunctional ligands for transition-metal catalysis and its
application in the remote desymmetrization of diarylmethanes via
copper-catalyzed Ullman cross-coupling. Through design of these
peptides, high levels of enantioinduction and good isolated yields were
achieved in the long-range asymmetric cross-coupling (up to 93:7 er and
76% yield) between aryl bromides and malonates. Our mechanistic studies
suggest that distal stereocontrol is achieved through a Cs-bridged
interaction between the Lewis-basic C-terminal carboxylate of the peptides with the distal arene of the substrate.
