摘要

Asymmetric synthesis of N-N array heterocycles via palladium-catalyzed rapid construction of C(sp3)–N and C(sp3)–C(sp2) remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we demonstrate the β,γ-unsaturated hydrazones with aryl or alkenyl halides leading to a series of dihydropyrazoles in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. This robust catalyst system is responsible for excellent reactivity and avoiding the N-Ts-hydrazones decomposition. The salient of this transformation include mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scopes, well functional group tolerance. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations disclose the effective coordination mode of palladium/Xu-Phos in asymmetric coupling and shed some light on the reaction mechanism and the origin of the enantioselectivity. Moreover, mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations demonstrate that syn- and anti-additions occur almost simultaneously in the enantiodetermining olefin insertion step.
