- Cross-Coupling Reaction of Alkenyl Sulfoximines and Alkenyl Aminosulfoxonium Salts with Organozincs by Dual Nickel Catalysis and Lewis Acid Promotion
-
In this article, the cross-coupling reaction (CCR) of exocyclic, axially chiral, and acyclic alkenyl (N-methyl)sulfoximines with alkyl- and arylzincs is described. The CCR generally requires dual Ni catalysis and MgBr2 promotion, which is effective in diethyl ether but not in THF. NMR spectroscopy revealed a complexation of alkenyl sulfoximines by MgBr2 in diethyl ether, which suggests an acceleration of the oxidative addition through nucleofugal activation. The CCR of alkenyl sulfoximines generally proceeds in the presence of Ni(dppp)Cl2 as a precatalyst and MgBr2 with alkyl- and arylzincs with a high degree of stereoretention at the C and the S atom. CCR of axially chiral alkenyl sulfoximines with Ni(PPh3)2Cl2 as a precatalyst and ZnPh2 does not require salt promotion and is stereoretentive. The reaction with Zn(CH2SiMe3)2, however, demands salt promotion and is not stereoretentive. CCR of axially chiral α-methylated alkenyl sulfoximines afforded persubstituted axially chiral alkenes with high selectivity. Alkenyl (N-triflyl)sulfoximines engage in a stereoretentive CCR with Grignard reagents and Ni(PPh3)2Cl2. Ni-Catalyzed and MgBr2-promoted CCR of E-configured acyclic alkenyl sulfoximines and aminosulfoxonium salts with ZnPh2 and Zn(CH2SiMe3)2 is stereoretentive with Ni(dppp)Cl2 and Ni(PPh3)2Cl2. CCRs of acyclic alkenyl sulfoximines and alkenyl aminosulfoxonium salts, carrying a methyl group at the α position, take a different course and give alkenyl sulfinamides under stereoretention at the S and C atom. CCR of acyclic, exocyclic, and axially chiral alkenyl sulfoximines has been successfully applied to the stereoselective synthesis of homoallylic alcohols, exocyclic alkenes, and axially chiral alkenes, respectively.

- Introduction of Cyclopropyl and Cyclobutyl Ring on Alkyl Iodides through Cobalt-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling
-
A cobalt-catalyzed cross-coupling between alkyl iodides and cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, and alkenyl Grignard reagents is disclosed. The reaction allows the introduction of strained rings on a large panel of primary and secondary alkyl iodides. The catalytic system is simple and nonexpensive, and the reaction is general, chemoselective, and diastereoconvergent. The alkene resulting from the cross-coupling can be transformed to substituted cyclopropanes using a Simmons-Smith reaction. The formation of radical intermediates during the coupling is hypothesized.

- Chemoselective deoxygenation of ether-substituted alcohols and carbonyl compounds by B(C6F5)3-catalyzed reduction with (HMe2SiCH2)2
-
B(C6F5)3-catalyzed deoxygenation of ether-substituted alcohols and carbonyl compounds has been developed using (HMe2SiCH2)2 as the reductant. This unique reagent shows distinct superiority over traditional one silicon-centered hydrosilanes, giving the corresponding alkanes in high yields with good tolerance of ethers, aryl halides and alkenes. The control experiments suggest that (HMe2SiCH2)2 might facilitate the approach in an intramolecular Si/O activation manner.

- Generation, Stability, and Utility of Lithium 4,4′-Di-tert-butylbiphenylide (LiDBB)
-
Several procedures were evaluated for the preparation of lithium 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenylide (LiDBB, Freeman's reagent) from lithium metal and 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl (DBB) in THF. Solutions with nominal concentration of 0.4 and 1.0 M were formed. The stability of LiDBB solutions was evaluated over time, and the gradual uptake of lithium metal was observed. At 0 °C the LiDBB solutions were stable for over a week in THF. At 20 °C the LiDBB solution underwent various decomposition pathways, which led to uptake of more lithium metal and the accumulation of side products. These decomposition pathways were studied, and the importance of ethene in the destruction of THF by LiDBB was observed. On a practical note, LiDBB solutions in THF were stable and effective for over a week at 0 °C or for more than 37 weeks when stored under argon at -25 °C. These observations will extend the utility of LiDBB as a reagent in organic synthesis.

- The chemoselective and efficient deprotection of silyl ethers using trimethylsilyl bromide
-
An efficient and chemoselective cleavage of silyl ethers (primary, secondary and aromatic) by using catalytic quantities of trimethylsilyl bromide (TMSBr) in methanol is reported. A wide range of alkyl silyl ethers such as TBS, TIPS, and TBDPS can be chemoselectively cleaved in high yield in the presence of aryl silyl ethers. The deprotection of silyl esters was also achieved employing catalytic quantities of TMSBr. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2008.

- Hydrazines and azides via the metal-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation of olefins
-
The discovery, study, and implementation of the Co- and Mn-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation reactions of olefins are reported. These reactions are equivalent to direct hydroaminations of C-C double bonds with protected hydrazines or hydrazoic acid but are based on a different concept in which the H and the N atoms come from two different reagents, a silane and an oxidizing nitrogen source (azodicarboxylate or sulfonyl azide). The hydrohydrazination reaction using di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate is characterized by its ease of use, large functional group tolerance, and broad scope, including mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted olefins. Key to the development of the hydroazidation reaction was the use of sulfonyl azides as nitrogen sources and the activating effect of tert-butyl hydroperoxide. The reaction was found to be efficient for the functionalization of mono-, di-, and trisubstituted olefins, and only a few functional groups are not tolerated. The alkyl azides obtained are versatile intermediates and can be transformed to the free amines or triazoles without isolation of the azides. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest a rate-limiting hydrocobaltation of the alkene, followed by an amination reaction. Radical intermediates cannot be ruled out and may be involved.

- A new protocol for the enantioselective synthesis of methyl-substituted alkanols and their derivatives through a hydroalumination/zirconium-catalyzed alkylalumination tandem process
-
Methyl-substituted alkanols have been synthesized enantioselectively (90-93% ee) in a one-pot hydroalumination/carboalumination tandem process (see scheme). This enantioselectively represents an increase of about 15% from the previously attainable ee values. DIBAH = diisobutylaluminum hydride, IBAO = isobutylaluminoxane.
