Diallyl acetals undergo reductive cleavage of an allyloxy group by SmI2 to generate α-allyloxy carbanions, which are transformed into homoallyl alcohols by 2,3-Wittig rearrangement.

A visible-light-induced dioxygenation of β,γ-unsaturated oximes for the synthesis of diverse useful isoxazolines bearing a hydroxyl moiety was developed by employing graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as a heterogeneous photocatalyst under an air atmosphere. Noted that, the eminent advantages of this metal-free protocol include step economy, easy operation, a recyclable photocatalyst, external reductant-/oxidant-free and mild reaction conditions. Additionally, mechanistic studies indicated hydroxyl radical was generated under the photocatalysis of g-C3N4.

An organocatalytic asymmetric synthesis of cyclic acetal with spirooxindole skeleton has been developed via a domino reaction between isatin and γ-hydroxy enones. Bifunctional squaramide catalyst with adamantyl motif was found to be the most effective for the cascade reaction. With 10 mol% of the catalyst, the desired products were obtained in 1.8:1 to 9:1 diastereo- and 86% to >99% enantioselectivities from a range of substituted isatins and γ-hydroxy enones. (Figure presented.).

Carbonyl allylation reactions constitute an important step in the formation of carbon-carbon reactions, and involve various related reactions that chiefly use allylmetal reagents. This report presents a nickel-catalyzed carbonyl allylation reaction using allyl acetate, which produces homoallyl alcohols in moderate to good yields, as an efficient methodology under reductive coupling conditions.

The concept of "umpolung"reactivity of π-allylmetal complexes has been developed as a powerful method for the allylation of aldehydes. This paper describes the photocatalytic umpolung strategy for the synthesis of nucleophilic allylcobalt complexes through a single-electron-transfer (SET) process. This strategy enables the metallaphotoredox allylation of carbonyls with allyl acetate using organic N,N-diisopropylethylamine as the terminal reductant bypassing the use of a stoichiometric amount of metals. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy was used to monitor the redox changes of cobalt in the reaction.

A radical-mediated approach to alkene oxyallylation using allylic oximes is described. The reaction proceeds under copper-catalytic redox-neutral conditions and tolerates various functional groups. This protocol thus enables the synthesis of structurally valuable isoxazolines and the introduction of a versatile olefin motif in a single step.

A nickel-catalyzed 1,2-diarylation of alkenyl ketones with aryl iodides and arylboronic esters is reported. Ketones with a variety of substituents serve as effective directing groups, offering high levels of regiocontrol. A representative product is diversified into a wide range of useful products that are not readily accessible via existing 1,2-diarylation reactions. Preliminary mechanistic studies shed light on the binding mode of the substrate, and Hammett analysis reveals the effect of electronic factors on initial rates.

The invention discloses a preparation method of allyl alcohol. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: in an anhydrous anaerobic environment and an inert gas atmosphere, adding a tricyclopentadienyl rare earth metal complex into a reaction flask; adding n-heptaldehyde, performing uniform mixing; and adding allylboronic acid, and carrying out a reaction to prepare allyl alcohol. The method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, improvement of the catalytic activity, reduction of the preparation difficulty of a catalyst, and reduction of post-treatment cost.

This work describes the synthesis of a PIB-bound hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) analog and its applications as a recyclable catalyst in allylation of aldehydes and reduction of enones in a recyclable poly(α-olefin) (PAO) polymeric solvent. Kinetic studies of the allylation reaction show that this PIB-bound HMPA analog is as active as HMPA in dichloromethane and PAO and that this PIB-bound catalyst is comparably reactive in heptane and in a PAO solvent. The PIB-bound HMPA catalyst has high phase selective solubility in PAO versus a polar solvent. By using this catalyst in a nonvolatile separable PAO solvent, this catalyst recyclability can be coupled to solvent recyclability, something that is less feasible in a conventional heptane solvent. The result is good recycling of catalyst and solvent through at least 5 cycles using simple gravity-based liquid/liquid extractions. This is in contrast to HMPA or conventional solvents which are less recyclable.

Direct C-H functionalization of aromatic compounds is a powerful tool for organic synthesis; however, differentiation among the ubiquitous and often chemically similar C-H bonds remains a significant challenge. Conflation with coordinating or directing groups incorporated into the intended substrate has helped address these limitations, although access to remote sites remains limited. Herein, we report an operationally simple and sustainable direct meta-selective H2N amination of benzylic and related aromatic picolinates under conditions mild enough to modify polyfunctional and late-stage molecules.

The current report represents a transition-metal-free synthesis of oxazoline and isoxazoline derivatives by a tandem electro-oxidative chalcogenation-cyclization process. Both C?Se and C?S bond-forming protocols were developed without using any external oxidant and the reaction was performed at room temperature, open to the air. Using this methodology, 29 substituted oxazoline and 16 substituted isoxazoline derivatives were synthesized with up to 91% isolated yield. (Figure presented.).

The nickel-catalyzed hydroarylation of 1,3-dienes with arylboronic acids using a secondary homoallyl carbonate as a surrogate for the 1,3-diene and hydride source has been developed. The synthetic strategy allowed an efficient access to a wide array of hydroarylation products in high yields with high functional group compatibility without the use of an external hydride source. Mechanistic experiments indicated that the alkene-directed oxidative addition and subsequent β-hydride elimination would be a critical process in this transformation.

A Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidative cyclization of β,γ-unsaturated hydrazones for the preparation of pyrazole derivatives has been developed. The hydrazonyl radical promoted the cyclization, along with a concomitant CC bond cleavage of β,γ-unsaturated hydrazones. This process has been verified via several control experiments, including a radical-trapping study, an 18O-labeling method, and the identification of the possible byproducts. The advantages of this reaction include operational simplicity, a broad reaction scope, and a mild selective reaction process.

Efficient and mild reaction conditions for Wacker-type oxidation of terminal olefins of less explored homoallyl alcohols to β-hydroxy-methyl ketones have been developed by using a Pd(ii) catalyst and MnO2 as a co-oxidant. The method involves mild reaction conditions and shows good functional group compatibility along with high regio- and chemoselectivity. While our earlier system of PdCl2/CrO3/HCl produced α,β-unsaturated ketones from homoallyl alcohols, the present method provided orthogonally the β-hydroxy-methyl ketones. No overoxidation or elimination of benzylic and/or β-hydroxy groups was observed. The method could be extended to the oxidation of simple terminal olefins as well, to methyl ketones, displaying its versatility. An application to the regioselective synthesis of gingerol is demonstrated.

In this study, we develop a nickel-catalyzed carbonyl arylation reaction employing aldehydes with aryl and allyl halides. Various aryl, α,β-unsaturated aldehyde and aliphatic aldehydes can be converted into their corresponding secondary alcohols in moderate-to-high yields. In addition, we extended this approach to develop an asymmetric reductive coupling reaction that combines nickel salts with chiral bisoxazoline ligands to give secondary alcohols with moderate enantioselectivity.

We have observed that the allylic zinc halide under identical reaction conditions acts in different modes for different electrophiles. For Ts-aziridines the halide part of the allylic halide has been introduced as a nucleophile and for the carbonyl compou

Abstract: Active bismuth is synthesized by the chemical reduction of bismuth trichloride using freshly prepared sodium stannite solution as the reducing agent at room temperature. The as-synthesized active bismuth is applied as a reagent for the synthesis of homoallyl alcohol/homopropargyl alcohol from allyl bromide/propargyl bromide and carbonyl compounds in water at 50°C. The homoallyl amines are also synthesized from N-tosyl aldimines and allyl bromide using active bismuth reagent in good yields. No assistance of organic co-solvent, co-reagent, phase transfer catalyst or inert atmosphere is required for this reaction. The waste bismuth material obtained after the completion of the organic reaction can be reduced to active bismuth by sodium stannite solution and successfully reused for mediating the allylation of aldehydes. Graphical Abstract:: Synopsis Active bismuth mediated allylation/crotylation of aldehydes is developed in water to get homoallyl alcohols. The method is also applied for the allylation of N-tosyl aldimines and propargylation of aldehydes in water to achieve the homoallyl amines and homopropargyl alcohols, respectively. The reactions do not require the assistance of organic co-solvent, co-reagent, phase transfer catalyst or inert atmosphere.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

A ruthenium-catalyzed ammoxidation of alkenyl oximes under mild and neutural condtions is described. In this method, tert-butyl nitrite plays a dual role, acting as an oxidant as well as a nitrogen source. This reaction avoids using any toxic radical initiators or cyanide reagents. This convenient and practical method offers an easy access to 5-cyanated isoxazolines in good to high yields, and shows good functional group tolerance and high efficiency. It is rather remarkable that this new reaction provides a strategically distinct approach based on non-stabilized radical intermediate and constructs C–O and C≡N triple bonds in a single-step. Moreover, the difunctionalization of unactivated olefins bearing oximes has been realized.

The synthetic method can be used for providing a novel low-cost and 'green' route for preparing the allyl alcohol compounds, and has the advantages that target product selectivity and yield are high, the catalyst can be repeatedly used, corresponding ketone can be obtained by performing simple column chromatography separation on the product, and the whole reaction and separation process is simple to operate and is green and environment-friendly.

Background: In the current decade, organotrifluoroborates have attained remarkable development in Chemistry and Materials. This can be evidenced by the increasing number of articles, review articles and patents devoted to this subject. As a consequence, the number of citations derived from papers dealing with this subject has experienced an exponential growth in the last years. The aim of this paper to describe a methodology based on the use of potassium allyltrifluoroborate for the synthesis of homoallylic alcohols using water as a co-solvent and under mild reaction conditions. Methods: The methodology is very robust (wide range of aldehydes) and simple, it uses low catalyst loadings and it is synthetically useful because it could be applied for the synthesis of more complex compounds. In addition, detailed experimental procedures, including the preparation of the starting materials, as well as the corresponding 1H, 13C, 19F and 11B spectra for all synthesized compounds are provided. Results: The method is environmentally friendly while it uses water as a solvent and the desired compounds containing different functionalities were obtained in moderate to good yields (60-93%) without the need of further purification in a very chemo- and regioselective way. Conclusion: Salicylic acid can efficiently promote the allylation of aldehydes using potassium allyltrifluoroborate at room temperature to yield the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in moderate to good yields. The method is efficient and environmentally friendly while it uses water as co-solvent. In addition the method is regio- and chemoselective and could be applied in the synthesis of more complex homoallylic alcohols.

The tandem palladium(0)-mediated nucleometalation-cross coupling of β,γ-unsaturated oximes with aryl iodides has been shown to provide the expected 3,5-disubstituted 2-isoxazolines in acceptable yields (11-78%). The addition of a weak base is required for product formation. Some influence on the yield of the reaction is noted in the electronic character of the aryl iodide used in the reaction. Exploration of the substitution patterns on the reactants has led to a proposed mechanism involving a palladium(II)-catalyzed nucleometalation/cyclization followed by reductive elimination of palladium(0) with concomitant coupling to an arene.

Ter-pyridine derivatives were found to be potential catalyst for homoallylation of carbonyl groups. High yields of the products with short reaction times of ～2 h were observed in several cases. These new catalysts work efficiently with the simple reagent such as allyl magnesium bromide and hence can avoid the use of other sensitive or toxic reagents. It was found that the presence of polar groups on the catalysts made them extremely efficient without the presence of any metal salts.

Two air-stable novel Lewis acids of triphenylantimony(V) pentafluorbezenesulfonates (2) and perfluorooctanesulfonates (3) were successfully synthesized and characterized. X-ray studies and thermo-gravimetric analysis found that these complexes showed high anti-hydrolyzability and thermal stability. The high catalytic activity and excellent recyclability of these complexes were achieved in the Michael addition reaction and the allylation reaction. On account of their stability, storability, as well as catalytic efficiency, these complexes should find a broad range of utility in organic synthesis.

High purity Sn(0) has been obtained as a result of reduction of SnO by sodium stannite (Na2SnO2) in aqueous solution. The process stands unique for the production of tin metal. The as-synthesized tin finds applications in synthetic organic chemistry as a reagent for the allylation of aldehydes and ketones in distilled water at room temperature to give rise to the corresponding homoallylic alcohols with high yield. The reaction occurs without the assistance of heat, ultrasonic vibration, co-solvents/co-reagents, etc. Enhancement of the reaction rate of allylation was observed in water rather than THF. The manipulation of allylation reaction becomes easy with active tin material.

A series of strong Lewis acid air-stable titanocene perfluoroalkyl(aryl) sulfonate complexes Cp2Ti(OH2)2(OSO 2X)2·THF (X = C8F17, 1·THF; X = C4F9, 2·H2O· THF; X = C6F5, 3) were successfully synthesized by the treatment of Cp2TiCl2 with C8F 17SO3Ag, C4F9SO3Ag and C6F5SO3Ag, respectively. In contrast to well-known titanocene bis(triflate), these complexes showed no change in open air over three months. TG-DSC analysis showed that 1·THF, 2·H 2O·THF and 3 were thermally stable at 230 °C, 220°C and 280°C, respectively. Conductivity measurements showed that these complexes underwent ionic dissociation in CH3CN solution. X-ray analysis results confirmed that 2·H2O·THF and 3 were cationic. ESR spectra showed that the Lewis acidity of 1·THF (1.06 eV) was higher than that of Sc3+ (1.00 eV) and Y3+ (0.85 eV). UV/Vis spectra showed a significant red shift due to the strong complex formation between 10-methylacridone and 2·H2O·THF. Fluorescence spectra showed that the Lewis acidity of 2 (λem = 477 nm) was higher than that of Sc3+ (λem = 474 nm). These complexes showed high catalytic ability in various carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. Moreover, they show good reusability. Compared with 1·THF, 2·H2O·THF and 3 exhibit higher solubility and better catalytic activity, and will find broad applications in organic synthesis. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.
