A common approach to the synthesis of α-oxygenated carbonyl compounds and catechols is the treatment of a carbonyl compound or a phenol with an electrophilic oxygen source. As an alternative approach to these important structures, formal [3,3]-rearrangements of N-enoxyphthalimides, N-enoxyisoindolinones, and N-aryloxyphthalimides have been explored. When used in combination with an initial Chan-Lam coupling, these transformations facilitate the dioxygenation of alkenylboronic acids for the synthesis of α-oxygenated ketones and the dioxygenation of arylboronic acids for the synthesis of catechols. The rearrangements of N-enoxyisoindolinones have also been shown to be diastereoselective.

Ruthenium complexes with the formulae Ru(CO)2(PR3)2(O2CPh)2 [6a-h; R=n-Bu, p-MeO-C6H4, p-Me-C6H4, Ph, p-Cl-C6H4, m-Cl-C6H4, p-CF3-C6H4, m,m′-(CF3)2C6H3] were prepared by treatment of triruthenium dodecacarbonyl [Ru3(CO)12] with the respective phosphine and benzoic acid or by the conversion of Ru(CO)3(PR3)2 (8e-h) with benzoic acid. During the preparation of 8, ruthenium hydride complexes of type Ru(CO)(PR3)3(H)2 (9g, h) could be isolated as side products. The molecular structures of the newly synthesized complexes in the solid state are discussed. Compounds 6a-h were found to be highly effective catalysts in the addition of carboxylic acids to propargylic alcohols to give valuable β-oxo esters. The catalyst screening revealed a considerably influence of the phosphine′s electronic nature on the resulting activities. The best performances were obtained with complexes 6g and 6h, featuring electron-withdrawing phosphine ligands. Additionally, catalyst 6g is very active in the conversion of sterically demanding substrates, leading to a broad substrate scope. The catalytic preparation of simple as well as challenging substrates succeeds with catalyst 6g in yields that often exceed those of established literature systems. Furthermore, the reactions can be carried out with catalyst loadings down to 0.1mol% and reaction temperatures down to 50 C.

Two in two: Dioxygenation of alkenyl boronic acids has been achieved with N-hydroxyphthalimide. The two-step process involves etherification of an alkenyl boronic acid with N-hydroxyphthalimide followed by a [3,3] rearrangement. The dioxygenated product can then be hydrolyzed to form either the corresponding α-hydroxy ketone or the α-benzoyloxy ketone. Copyright
