Stereocontrolled Hydrogenation of Conjugated Enones to Alcohols via Dual Iridium‐Catalysis

Abstract: The concept of dual catalysis is an emerging area holding high potential in terms of preparative efficiency, yet faces severe challenges in compatibility of reaction conditions and interference of catalysts. The transition‐metal catalyzed stereoselective hydrogenation of olefins and ketones typically proceeds under different reaction conditions and/or uses a different reductant. As a result, these two types of hydrogenations can normally not be performed in the same pot. Herein, the stereocontrolled hydrogenation of enones to saturated alcohols is described, enabled by orthogonal dual iridium catalysis, using molecular hydrogen for both reductions. In this one‐pot procedure, N,P‐iridium catalysts (hydrogenation active towards olefins) and NHC,P‐iridium catalysts (hydrogenation active towards ketones) operated independently of one another allowing the construction of two contiguous stereogenic centers up to 99 % ee, 99/1 d.r. Ultimately, by simple selection of the chirality of either ligands, the enone could be efficiently reduced to all four stereoisomers of the saturated alcohol in equally high stereopurity. This degree of stereocontrol for the synthesis of different stereoisomers by dual transition‐metal catalyzed hydrogenation was previously not attained. The generality in substituted enones (alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl) demonstrate the wide applicability of this concept.
