- Tandem Regioselective Hydroformylation-Hydrogenation of Internal Alkynes Using a Supramolecular Catalyst
-
New supramolecular ligands containing an acyl guanidine function were designed based on the strategy of increasing the π-acceptor ability of phosphine ligands by introducing electron-withdrawing groups. By applying this novel catalytic system, a general protocol for the Rh-catalysed hydroformylation-hydrogenation of unsymmetrical internal alkynes, functionalized with a carboxylic acid, was found to furnish aliphatic aldehydes in high regio- and chemoselectivities. Control experiments confirm the enzyme-like supramolecular catalyst mode of action.

- Synthesis of highly substituted γ-butyrolactones by a gold-catalyzed cascade reaction of benzyl esters
-
Easily accessible benzylic esters of 3-butynoic acids in a gold-catalyzed cyclization/rearrangement cascade reaction provided 3-propargyl γ-butyrolactones with the alkene and the carbonyl group not being conjugated. Crossover experiments showed that the formation of the new C-C bond is an intermolecular process. Initially propargylic-benzylic esters were used, but alkyl-substituted benzylic esters worked equally well. In the case of the propargylic- benzylic products, a simple treatment of the products with aluminum oxide initiated a twofold tautomerization to the allenyl-substituted g-butyrolactones with conjugation of the carbonyl group, the olefin, and the allene. The synthetic sequence can be conducted stepwise or as a one-pot cascade reaction with similar yields. Even in the presence of the gold catalyst the new allene remains intact.

- A new synthesis of β,γ-alkenyl carboxylic acids from α,β-alkenyl carboxylic acid chlorides and α,β-alkenyl aldehydes with one-carbon elongation
-
Reaction of the lithium α-sulfinyl carbanion of chloromethyl phenyl sulfoxide with α,β-alkenyl carboxylic acid chlorides gave γ,δ-alkenyl α-chloro-β-keto sulfoxides in variable yields. The keto sulfoxides were also synthesized from α,β-alkenyl aldehydes in two steps in good overall yields: addition of the lithium α-sulfinyl carbanion of chloromethyl phenyl sulfoxide to α,β-alkenyl aldehydes followed by oxidation of the adducts with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone or Dess-Martin periodinane. These products were treated in sequence with potassium hydride, tert-butyllithium, and 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide, in one flask to give β,γ-alkenyl carboxylic acids with one-carbon elongation in good yields. The procedure offers a new method for synthesizing β,γ-alkenyl carboxylic acids from α,β-alkenyl carboxylic acid chlorides and α,β-alkenyl aldehydes with one-carbon elongation.

- A Stereospecific Access to Allylic Systems Using Rhodium(II)-Vinyl Carbenoid Insertion into Si-H, O-H, and N-H Bonds
-
Rhodium-catalyzed decomposition of α-vinyldiazoesters in the presence of silanes, alcohols, ethers, amines, and thiols have been shown to produce the corresponding α-silyl, α-hydroxy, α-alkoxy, α-amino, and α-thioalkoxy esters in generally good yield with a complete retention of the stereochemistry of the double bond of the diazo precursor. An extension of the process in homochiral series has also been devised using either a chiral auxiliary attached to the ester function or achiral α-vinyldiazoesters and Doyle's chiral catalyst Rh2(MEPY)4. In the former approach, pantolactone as chiral auxiliary gave diastereoselectivities of up to 70%, while the second approach produced the desired allylsilane with ee as high as 72%. On the other hand, Rh2(MEPY)4-catalyzed insertion into the O-H bond of water led to poor or no enantioselectivity in good agreement with recent literature reports.

- Synthetic Routes to Allenic Acids and Esters and Their Stereospecific Conversion to Butenolides
-
The synthesis of allenic acids and esters and their conversion to butenolides has been examined in some detail. Racemic butenolides 10 are efficiently prepared from the esters 8 through treatment with BCl3 and exposure of the derived acid 9 to catalytic AgNO3 in acetone. Conversion of the enantioenriched allenylstannane (S)-17 to the acid 18 through lithiation and subsequent carboxylation with CO2 afforded racemic product. The enantioenriched propargylic mesylates 16 and 22 afforded the allenic esters 19 and 23 with inversion of configuration through treatment with Pd(Ph3P)4, CO, and the appropriate alcohol in THF. These reactions proceeded with ca. 10% or less of racemization. The allenic esters 23 yielded the iodobutenolides 24 by reaction with IBr. Hydrogenolysis to the butenolide 25 was achieved with Pd(PPh3)4 and Bu3SnH. Alternatively, the allenic acids 27 could be prepared directly from mesylates 22 with Pd(PPh3)4 and CO in aqueous THF. Cyclization to the butenolides 25 was achieved, as before, with catalytic AgNO3.

- Rhodium(II)-vinylcarbenoid insertion into the Si - H bond. A new stereospecific synthesis of allylsilanes
-
Rh2(OAc)4 catalysed decomposition of vinyldiazocarbonyl compounds in the presence of organosilanes led stereospecifically to the corresponding allylsilanes in good yields. An asymmetric approach has also been considered as well as the extension of the methodology to the synthesis of other allylic systems.
