- Nickel-Catalyzed Alkylation or Reduction of Allylic Alcohols with Alkyl Grignard Reagents
-
By choosing different phosphine ligands, nickel-catalyzed selective alkylation and reduction of allylic alcohols with alkyl Grignard reagents were performed. The reaction using Ni(dppe)Cl2 as the catalyst resulted in the cross-coupling of allylic alcohols with primary alkyl Grignard reagents and cyclopropylmagnesium bromide. The reaction catalyzed by the combination of Ni(PCy3)2Cl2 and dcype led to the reduction of allylic alcohols. Secondary alkyl Grignard reagents except cyclopropylmagnesium bromide always led to reduction of allylic alcohols using either Ni(dppe)Cl2 or Ni(PCy3)2Cl2/dcype as the catalyst. In the reductive reaction β-H-containing alkyl Grignard reagents were required.

- A donor-acceptor complex enables the synthesis of: E -olefins from alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids
-
Olefins are prevalent substrates and functionalities. The synthesis of olefins from readily available starting materials such as alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids is of great significance to address the sustainability concerns in organic synthesis. Metallaphotoredox-catalyzed defunctionalizations were reported to achieve such transformations under mild conditions. However, all these valuable strategies require a transition metal catalyst, a ligand or an expensive photocatalyst, with the challenges of controlling the region- and stereoselectivities remaining. Herein, we present a fundamentally distinct strategy enabled by electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes, for the selective synthesis of olefins from these simple and easily available starting materials. The conversions took place via photoactivation of the EDA complexes of the activated substrates with alkali salts, followed by hydrogen atom elimination from in situ generated alkyl radicals. This method is operationally simple and straightforward and free of photocatalysts and transition-metals, and shows high regio- and stereoselectivities.

- Superelectrophilic Fe(III)-Ion Pairs as Stronger Lewis Acid Catalysts for (E)-Selective Intermolecular Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis
-
An intermolecular carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction is described that relies on superelectrophilic Fe(III)-based ion pairs as stronger Lewis acid catalysts. This new catalytic system enables selective access to (E)-olefins as carbonyl-olefin metathesis products. Mechanistic investigations suggest the regioselective formation and stereospecific fragmentation of intermediate oxetanes to be the origin of this selectivity. The optimized conditions are general for a variety of aryl aldehydes and trisubstituted olefins and are demonstrated for 28 examples in up to 64% overall yield.

- Cobalt-Catalyzed Z to e Isomerization of Alkenes: An Approach to (E)-β-Substituted Styrenes
-
An efficient cobalt-catalyzed Z to E isomerization of β-substituted styrenes using the amido-diphosphine ligand was developed, delivering the (E)-isomers with good functional tolerance and high stereoselectivity. The reaction could be scaled up to gram-scale with a catalyst loading of 0.1 mol %, using a mixture of (Z)- and (E)-alkene as the starting material. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that cobalt(I)-hydride and a benzylic-cobalt species were probably involved in the reaction, as supported by experiments and DFT calculations.

- The B(C6F5)3-Catalyzed Tandem Meinwald Rearrangement-Reductive Amination
-
A system of three coupled catalytic cycles enabling the one-pot transformation of epoxides to amines via Meinwald rearrangement, imine condensation, and imine reduction is described. This assisted tandem catalysis is catalyzed by B(C6F5)3 resulting in the first tandem Meinwald rearrangement-reductive amination protocol. The reaction proceeds in nondried solvents and yields β-functionalized amines. In particular, β-diarylamines are obtained in high yields.

- Direct Olefination of Alcohols with Sulfones by Using Heterogeneous Platinum Catalysts
-
Carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/C) were found to be effective heterogeneous catalysts for the direct Julia olefination of alcohols in the presence of sulfones and KOtBu under oxidant-free conditions. Primary alcohols, including aryl, aliphatic, allyl, and heterocyclic alcohols, underwent olefination with dimethyl sulfone and aryl alkyl sulfones to give terminal and internal olefins, respectively. Secondary alcohols underwent methylenation with dimethyl sulfone. Under 2.5 bar H2, the same reaction system was effective for the transformation of alcohol OH groups to alkyl groups. Structural and mechanistic studies of the terminal olefination system suggested that Pt0 sites on the Pt metal particles are responsible for the rate-limiting dehydrogenation of alcohols and that KOtBu may deprotonate the sulfone reagent. The Pt/C catalyst was reusable after the olefination, and this method showed a higher turnover number (TON) and a wider substrate scope than previously reported methods, which demonstrates the high catalytic efficiency of the present method. Olefination of alcohols: The first heterogeneous catalytic terminal and internal olefination of primary alcohols and methylenation of secondary alcohols with sulfones, a reusable carbon-supported Pt catalyst, and KOtBu is reported (see scheme).

- The Retro-Hydroformylation Reaction
-
Hydroformylation, a reaction that adds carbon monoxide and dihydrogen across an unsaturated carbon-carbon multiple bond, has been widely employed in the chemical industry since its discovery in 1938. In contrast, the reverse reaction, retro-hydroformylation, has seldom been studied. The retro-hydroformylation reaction of an aldehyde into an alkene and synthesis gas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and dihydrogen) in the presence of a cyclopentadienyl iridium catalyst is now reported. Aliphatic aldehydes were converted into the corresponding alkenes in up to 91 % yield with concomitant release of carbon monoxide and dihydrogen. Mechanistic control experiments indicated that the reaction proceeds by retro-hydroformylation and not by a sequential decarbonylation-dehydrogenation or dehydrogenation-decarbonylation process.
