title: Preparation of arylzinc reagents and their use in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition for the synthesis of 2-aryl-4-piperidones.
abstract: A protocol for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 2-aryl-4-piperidones with high enantiomeric excess (ee) (typically > or = 99% ee) has been described here. The preparation of arylzinc reagents, which are used as nucleophiles in catalysis, is also included. The whole protocol can be completed in 10-20 h, starting from the preparation of the arylzinc reagents, depending on the reaction time of the rhodium-catalyzed process. A detailed protocol is described using the preparation of 4-fluorophenylzinc chloride and its addition to benzyl 3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1(2H)-pyridinecarboxylate in the presence of [RhCl((R)-binap)]2 as an example.
