The asymmetric transition-metal catalyzed conjugate addition of organometallic reagents to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is of great importance for the enantioselective formation of carbon-carbon bonds.[1] The well established copper-catalyzed conjugated addition of dialkylzinc reagents [2] and Grignard reagents [3] allows the introduction of alkyl substituents in very high yields and enantioselectivities. A complementary protocol for the introduction of aryl moieties is the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of arylboronic acids [4] and arylsiloxanes.[5]

The use of palladium-based catalysts has been limited for the competitive formation of the corresponding Heck coupling product. Nevertheless, there are example of palladium-catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids 6 and aryltrialkoxysilanes.[7]

Our research was aimed to the development of the first example of asymmetric palladium-catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids [8] and aryltriethoxysilane (Scheme 1).[9] The conjugate addition of arylboronic acids proceeds smoothly affording excellent yields and enantioselectivities for a large variety of cyclic and acyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. In the addition of aryltriethoxysilanes instead the formation of side products arising from a palladium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation was observed. The careful optimization of the reaction conditions, aimed to the enhancement of the transmetalation step, however, led to almost complete suppression of the side reaction.
