Abstract

A diphenyl prolinol TMS ether-catalyzed stereoselective reaction of 1-bromo-2-naphthols with enals has been developed. The organocatalyzed cross coupling-like reaction servers an efficient approach to sterically congested (E)-α-naphthyl enals. The formal C(sp2)-C(sp2) cross-coupling products are obtained in good yields and with excellent stereoselectivities in favor of E-isomers. A broad range of aromatic enals and 1-bromo-2-naphthols are tolerated. The synthetic strategy significantly expands the scope of the organocatalytic cross-coupling-like reactions by enabling sterically demanding 1-bromo-2-naphthols as viable substrates.
