- Intramolecular Sakurai Allylation of Geminal Bis(silyl) Enamide with Indolenine. A Diastereoselective Cyclization to Form Functionalized Hexahydropyrido[3,4- b]Indole
-
A fluoride-promoted intramolecular Sakurai allylation of geminal bis(silyl) enamide with indolenine has been developed. The reaction facilitates an efficient cyclization to give hexahydropyrido[3,4-b]indoles in good yields with high diastereoselectivity. The resulted cis, trans-stereochemistry further enables the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of two alkene moieties, giving a tetracyclic N-hetereocycle widely found as the core structure in akuammiline alkaloids.

- Sustainable Palladium-Catalyzed Tsuji-Trost Reactions Enabled by Aqueous Micellar Catalysis
-
Palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution, or "Tsuji-Trost"reactions, can be run under micellar catalysis conditions featuring not only chemistry in water but also numerous combinations of reaction partners that require low levels of palladium, typically on the order of 1000 ppm (0.1 mol %). These couplings are further characterized by especially mild conditions, leading to a number of cases not previously reported in an aqueous micellar medium. Inclusion of diverse nucleophiles, such as N-H heterocycles, alcohols, dicarbonyl compounds, and sulfonamides is described. Intramolecular cyclizations further illustrate the broad utility of this process. In addition to recycling studies, a multigram scale example is reported, indicative of the prospects for scale up.

- Unique catalysis of gold nanoparticles in the chemoselective hydrogenolysis with H2: Cooperative effect between small gold nanoparticles and a basic support
-
Gold nanoparticles on hydrotalcite act as a heterogeneous catalyst for the chemoselective hydrogenolysis of various allylic carbonates to the corresponding terminal alkenes using H2 as a clean reductant. The combination of gold nanoparticles and basic supports elicited significantly unique and selective catalysis in the hydrogenolysis.

- Stereocontrolled synthesis of contiguous C(sp3) - C(aryl) bonds by lanthanide(III)-catalyzed domino aryl-claisen [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements
-
A domino [3,3]-sigmatropic aryl-Claisen rearrangement of cyclic and acyclic bisaryloxy-substituted alkenes can be performed in high yield by using Ln(fod)3 catalysis to obtain bisphenolic products incorporating two contiguous aryl - C(sp3) bonds. Stereospecific rearrangement was observed for cyclic substrates. The precursor diaryl ethers were typically synthesized from the corresponding diols by double arylation procedures using either copper catalyzed coupling of aryltrifluoroborate salts or by S NAr reaction.

- Key role of the Lewis base position in asymmetric bifunctional catalysis: Design and evaluation of a new ligand for chiral polymetallic catalysts
-
New chiral ligands for asymmetric polymetallic catalysts were designed on the basis of the assumption that the higher-order assembly structure is stabilized by modifying the modular unit. The designed ligands 6 and 7 contained a scaffolding cyclohexane ring with a Lewis base phosphine oxide directly attached to the scaffold. A module in the polymetallic complex contains two metals per ligand, and a stable 6-, 5-, 5-membered fused chelation ring system should be generated. Synthesis of these ligands is simple and high yielding, using a catalytic dynamic kinetic resolution promoted by the Trost catalyst as a key step. Ligand function was assessed in a catalytic asymmetric ring-opening reaction of meso-aziridines with TMSCN, a useful reaction for the synthesis of optically active β-amino acids. The Gd complex generated from Gd(OiPr)3 and the ligand was a highly active and enantioselective catalyst in this reaction. Enantioselectivity was reversed compared to the previously reported d-glucose-derived catalyst containing the same chirality of the individual module. ESI-MS analysis and X-ray crystallographic studies indicate that the assembly state of the modules in the polymetallic catalysts differs depending on the chiral ligand. The difference in the higher-order structure stems from a subtle change (one carbon) in the position of the Lewis base relative to the Gd metal. The change in the higher-order structure of the polymetallic complex led to a dramatic reversal of the enantioselectivity and increased catalyst activity. Copyright
