- Iron-catalysed enantioconvergent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling to afford enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes
-
The first stereoconvergent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was developed to afford enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes. An iron-based complex containing a chiral cyanobis(oxazoline) ligand framework was best to obtain enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes from cross-coupling reactions between unactivated aryl boronic esters and benzylic chlorides. Enhanced yields were obtained when 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene was used as an additive, which is hypothesized to extend the lifetime of the iron-based catalyst. Exceptional enantioselectivities were obtained with challenging ortho-substituted benzylic chlorides. This journal is

- Catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation using a [2.2]paracyclophane based chiral 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene-Pd complex under ambient conditions and 1 atmosphere of H2
-
Chiral 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene-Pd complexes with the planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophane wing tip group have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The complex with a labile acetonitrile co-ligand is an excellent catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenation of alkynes and alkenes and enantioselective hydrogenation of prochiral alkenes at ambient conditions and 1.0 atmosphere of H2.

- Functional-group-tolerant, nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction for enantioselective construction of tertiary methyl-bearing stereocenters
-
The first Negishi nickel-catalyzed stereospecific cross-coupling reaction of secondary benzylic esters is reported. A series of traceless directing groups is evaluated for ability to promote cross-coupling with dimethylzinc. Esters with a chelating thioether derived from commercially available 2-(methylthio)acetic acid are most effective. The products are formed in high yield and with excellent stereospecificity. A variety of functional groups are tolerated in the reaction including alkenes, alkynes, esters, amines, imides, and O-, S-, and N-heterocycles. The utility of this transformation is highlighted in the enantioselective synthesis of a retinoic acid receptor agonist and a fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor.

- Carboxy-directed asymmetric hydrogenation of 1,1-diarylethenes and 1,1-dialkylethenes
-
Carboxy marks the spot: A carboxy-directed asymmetric hydrogenation of 1,1-diarylethenes and 1,1-dialkylethenes with chiral iridium/spiro phosphine-oxazoline catalysts has been developed. A wide range of chiral diarylethanes and chiral γ-methyl fatty acids were synthesized with excellent enantioselectivity (see scheme). Copyright

- Nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings of benzylic pivalates with arylboroxines: Stereospecific formation of diarylalkanes and triarylmethanes
-
We have developed a stereospecific nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of benzylic pivalates with arylboroxines. The success of this reaction relies on the use of Ni(cod)2 as the catalyst and NaOMe as a uniquely effective base. This reaction has broad scope with respect to the arylboroxine and benzylic pivalate, enabling the synthesis of a variety of diarylalkanes and triarylmethanes in good to excellent yields and ee's.
