- Cobalt-catalyzed intermolecular hydroacylation of olefins through chelation-assisted imidoyl C-H activation
-
A low-valent cobalt catalyst generated from cobalt(II) bromide, a diphosphine ligand, and zinc powder promotes intermolecular hydroacylation of olefins using N-3-picolin-2-yl aldimines as aldehyde equivalents, which affords, upon acidic hydrolysis, ketone products in moderate to good yields with high linear selectivity. The reaction is applicable to styrenes, vinylsilanes, and aliphatic olefins as well as to various aryl and heteroaryl aldimines. The cobalt catalysis features a distinctively lower reaction temperature (60 °C) compared with those required for the same type of transformations catalyzed by rhodium complexes (typically 130-150°C).

- Rhodium(I)-catalyzed arylation of β-chloro ketones and related derivatives through domino dehydrochlorination/conjugate addition
-
Highly efficient arylations of β-chloro ketones and their ester and amide derivatives were achieved by means of domino dehydrochlorination/Rh(I)- catalyzed conjugate addition. In situ generated vinyl ketones and their analogues were identified as the reaction intermediates. The present synthetic protocol provides a concise route to (chiral) β-aryl ketones, esters, and amides. Copyright
