- Oxidation of Primary Alcohols and Aldehydes to Carboxylic Acids via Hydrogen Atom Transfer
-
The oxidation of primary alcohols and aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids is a fundamental reaction in organic synthesis. In this paper, we report a new chemoselective process for the oxidation of primary alcohols and aldehydes. This metal-free reaction features a new oxidant, an easy to handle procedure, high isolated yields, and good to excellent functional group tolerance even in the presence of vulnerable secondary alcohols and tert-butanesulfinamides.

- Macrolactam Synthesis via Ring-Closing Alkene-Alkene Cross-Coupling Reactions
-
Reported herein is a practical method for macrolactam synthesis via a Rh(III)-catalyzed ring closing alkene-alkene cross-coupling reaction. The reaction proceeded via a Rh-catalyzed alkenyl sp2 C-H activation process, which allows access to macrocyclic molecules of different ring sizes. Macrolactams containing a conjugated diene framework could be easily prepared in high chemoselectivities and Z,E stereoselectivities.

- The palladium(ii)-catalyzed regioselective ortho-C-H bromination/iodination of arylacetamides with in situ generated imidic acid as the directing group: Mechanistic exploration
-
In the present study, we report the palladium(ii)-catalyzed regioselective ortho-C-H bromination/iodination of challenging arylacetamide derivatives using N-halosuccinimides as halogenating agents. Diverse arylacetamides underwent the regioselective ortho-bromination and iodination of aromatic C-H bonds in the presence of a reactive benzylic C(sp3)-H bond without installing any bulky auxiliaries via unfavorable six-membered metallacycles. Weak coordination, the use of ubiquitous primary amides for challenging C-H functionalization, the simple catalytic system and the wide substrate scope are the key features of this transformation. Further, the halogenated amide derivatives were transformed into a variety of valuable synthons. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed some interesting aspects concerning the reaction pathway. We present for the first time strong evidence for the formation of imidic acid (in situ) from primary amides under Br?nsted acid conditions that eventually aids in the stabilization of palladacycles of amide derivatives and drives regioselective C-X bond formation.

- Double Functionalization of Styrenes by Cu-Mediated Assisted Tandem Catalysis
-
The double functionalization of styrenes through Cu-mediated assisted tandem catalysis was developed. The reaction was initiated by Cu-catalyzed aziridination and the subsequent nucleophilic ring-opening, which was triggered by the addition of (NH4)2S2O8 as an oxidant of Cu-catalyst to form a variety of C–C and C–X bonds. The expansion to three contiguous catalytic cycles led to the synthesis of functionalized indolines by one-pot operation.

- Chiral Magnesium Bisphosphate-Catalyzed Asymmetric Double C(sp3)-H Bond Functionalization Based on Sequential Hydride Shift/Cyclization Process
-
Described herein is a chiral magnesium bisphosphate-catalyzed asymmetric double C(sp3)-H bond functionalization triggered by a sequential hydride shift/cyclization process. This reaction consists of stereoselective domino C(sp3)-H bond functionalization: (1) a highly enantio- and diastereoselective C(sp3)-H bond functionalization by chiral magnesium bisphosphate (first [1,5]-hydride shift), and (2) a highly diastereoselective C(sp3)-H bond functionalization by an achiral catalyst (Yb(OTf)3, second [1,5]-hydride shift).

- Highly diastereoselective synthesis of tetralin-fused spirooxindoles via lewis acid-catalyzed C(sp3)H bond functionalization
-
A highly diastereoselective synthesis of tetralin-fused spirooxindole derivatives was described. Treatment of benzylidene oxindoles with a catalytic amount of Sc(OTf)3 in refluxing hexane afforded the target compounds in good chemical yields with excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >20:1). Detailed investigation of the reaction mechanism revealed that both interconversion of the two diastereomers and their solubility difference in reaction medium were the key to achieving excellent diastereoselectivities.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed umpolung carboxylation of hydrazones with CO2
-
The first ruthenium-catalyzed umpolung carboxylation of hydrazones with CO2 to generate important aryl acetic acids is reported. Besides aldehyde hydrazones, a variety of ketone hydrazones, which have not been successfully applied in previous umpolung reactions with other reactive electrophiles, also show high reactivity and selectivity under mild conditions. Moreover, this operationally simple protocol features good functional group tolerance, is readily scalable, and offers easy derivation of important structures, including bioactive felbinac and adiphenine. Computational studies reveal that this umpolung reaction proceeds through the generation of a Ru-nitrenoid followed by concerted [4 + 2] cycloaddition with CO2.

- Enantio- and diastereotopos differentiation in the palladium(II)-catalyzed hydrosilylation of bicyclo[2.2.1]alkene scaffolds with silicon-stereogenic silanes
-
The palladium(II)-catalyzed hydrosilylation of meso-configured bicyclo[2.2.1]alkene scaffolds proved to be an invaluable model reaction for the development of reagent-controlled asymmetric transformations based on silicon-stereogenic silanes as stereoinducers. In the present investigation, the subtle structural requirements of the silane substitution pattern in enantiotopos-differentiating single hydrosilylations of a norbornene-type substrate are disclosed. Extension of this chemistry to a double hydrosilylation of norbornadiene entails a significant increase in stereochemical complexity. Although differentiation of enantiotopic positions by the chiral reagent is demanded in the first hydrosilylation, the same reagent must then differentiate diastereotopic positions in the second. Remarkably high stereocontrol was found in this double hydrosilylation with several silanes first used in the hydrosilylations of the norbornene-type system. Depending on the enantiomeric purity of the silane, C2- and Cs-symmetric adducts, respectively, were obtained. The identity of the key quaternary silanes was revealed by crystallographic analysis. By this method, the relative and absolute configurations were also assigned, which, in turn, imply that all enantiospecific substitutions at silicon proceed with stereoretention. On the basis of these solid-state structures, we also discuss the structural implications of silane substitution for the diastereoselectivity-determining step of this palladium(II)-catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction.

- Stereoselective alcohol silylation by dehydrogenative Si-O coupling: Scope, limitations, and mechanism of the Cu-H-catalyzed non-enzymatic kinetic resolution with silicon-stereogenic silanes
-
Ligand-stabilized copper(I)hydride catalyzes the dehydrogenative Si-O coupling of alcohols and silanes-a process that was found to proceed without racemization at the silicon atom if asymmetrically substituted. The present investigation starts from this pivotal observation since silicon-stereogenic silanes are thereby suitable for the reagent-controlled kinetic resolution of racemic alcohols, in which asymmetry at the silicon atom enables discrimination of enantiomeric alcohols. In this full account, we summarizeour efforts to systematically examine this unusual strategy of diastereoselective alcohol silylation. Ligand (sufficient reactivity with moderately electron-rich monophosphines), silane (reasonable diastereocontrol with cyclic silanes having a distinct substitution pattern) as well as substrate identification (chelating donor as a requirement) areintroductorily described. With these basic data at hand, the substrate scope was defined employing enantiomerically enriched tert-butyl-substituted 1-silatetraline and highly reactive 1-si-laindane. The synthetic part is complemented by the determination of the stereochemical course at the silicon atom in the Si-O coupling step followed by its quantum-chemical analysis thus providing a solid mechanistic picture of this remarkable transformation.
