Anionic polymerization of two phenyl-substituted trienes containing cross-conjugated carbon-carbon double bonds, 2-phenyl[3]dendralene (P3D) and 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)[3]dendralene (MP3D), was carried out in THF under a variety of different conditions. Poly(P3D) of controlled molecular weight with a narrow molecular weight distribution was obtained when the polymerization reaction was carried out at -78 C for 30 min. Broadening of the molecular weight distribution to the higher-molecular-weight side was observed if the polymerization mixture was left to stand for 20 h at -78 C, presumably because of the attack of the propagating chain-end carbanion at the conjugated diene structure in the polymer chain. Similar broadening occurred if the polymerization was performed at a higher temperature. However, under identical conditions, no such a broadening was observed in the polymerization of MP3D. Block copolymers of predictable molecular weights and compositions containing a poly(2-vinylpyridine) segment were obtained by the sequential addition of P3D and/or MP3D to potassium naphthalenide and then 2-vinylpyridine. Only the conjugate addition structure was found in the resulting polymers.
Regio- and stereoselective synthesis of bromoalkenes by homolytic hydrobromination of alkynes with hydrogen bromide

Homolytic hydrobromination of terminal and internal alkynes with a commercially available solution of hydrogen bromide in acetic acid has been investigated for regio- and stereoselective synthesis of bromoalkenes. Under an aerobic atmosphere at room temperature, the reaction of ethynylarenes with a small excess of HBr efficiently gave (2-bromoethenyl)arenes with good to high E-selectivity. (Alk-1-ynyl)arenes, or internal alkynes bearing both phenyl and alkyl groups at the sp-carbons also underwent the air-initiated hydrobromination to exhibit high Z-selectivity under kinetic conditions using a half equivalent of HBr.

A highly enantioselective halogenation/semipinacol rearrangement of isatin-derived allylic alcohols has been developed with a chiral N,N′-dioxide/ScIII complex as catalyst. This strategy involved a pivotal stereodivergent kinetic resolution process and provided a facile and efficient entry to optically active halo-substituted quinolone derivatives and quinoline alkaloids with a quaternary stereocenter simultaneously under mild reaction conditions. Based on the control experiments together with kinetic studies and DFT calculations, a possible catalytic cycle was proposed to illustrate the reaction process and enantiocontrol.
The intramolecular reaction of acetophenoneN-tosylhydrazone and vinyl: Br?nsted acid-promoted cationic cyclization toward polysubstituted indenes
Wang, Zhixin,Li, Yang,Chen, Fan,Qian, Peng-Cheng,Cheng, Jiang
, p. 1810 - 1813 (2021/02/27)
In the presence of TsNHNH2, a Br?nsted acid-promoted intramolecular cyclization ofo-(1-arylvinyl) acetophenone derivatives was developed, leading to polysubstituted indenes with complexity and diversity in moderate to excellent yields. In sharp contrast with either the radical or carbene involved cyclization of aldehydicN-tosylhydrazone with vinyl, a cationic cyclization pathway was involved, whereN-tosylhydrazone served as an electrophile and alkylation reagent during this transformation.

In contrast to the wealth of asymmetric transformations for generating central chirality from alkyl radicals, the enantiocontrol over the allenyl radicals for forging axial chirality represents an uncharted domain. The challenge arises from the unique elongated linear configuration of the allenyl radicals that necessitates the stereo-differentiation of remote motifs away from the radical reaction site. We herein describe a copper-catalyzed asymmetric radical 1,4-carboalkynylation of 1,3-enynes via the coupling of allenyl radicals with terminal alkynes, providing diverse synthetically challenging tetrasubstituted chiral allenes. A chiral N,N,P-ligand is crucial for both the reaction initiation and the enantiocontrol over the highly reactive allenyl radicals. The reaction features a broad substrate scope, covering a variety of (hetero)aryl and alkyl alkynes and 1,3-enynes as well as radical precursors with excellent functional group tolerance.
N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed 1,4-Alkylacylation of 1,3-Enynes

The radical relay coupling reaction recently emerged as a powerful synthetic strategy for producing tetrasubstituted allenes. However, bond-forming processes involving the allenyl radical intermediate are mostly limited to those promoted by transition metals. In this report, we describe that a ketyl radical generated from single-electron oxidation of the Breslow intermediate is an excellent coupling partner of allenyl radicals. An organocatalytic 1,4-alkylacylation of 1,3-enynes occurred smoothly in the presence of an aldehyde, a radical precursor, and an N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst. This transformation showed remarkable tolerance to both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, enyne substitution, and diversified radical precursors.

The first examples of electrochemical trifluoromethylation and sulfonylation/semipinacol rearrangements of allylic alcohols were developed using cheap and stable RSO2Na (R = CF3, Ph) as reagents. Various β-trifluoromethyl and sulfonated ketones were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. This strategy provides a facile, direct, and complementary approach to construct all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. In addition, the reaction has the advantages of being chemical oxidant-free and metal-free and has safe and mild reaction conditions.
A Cascade Suzuki-Miyaura/Diels-Alder Protocol: Exploring the Bifunctional Utility of Vinyl Bpin

Cascade reactions are an important strategy in reaction design, allowing streamlining of chemical synthesis. Here we report a cascade Suzuki-Miyaura/Diels-Alder reaction, employing vinyl Bpin as a bifunctional reagent in two distinct roles: as an organoboron nucleo phile for cross-coupling and as a Diels-Alder dienophile. Merging these two reactions enables a rapid and operationally simple synthesis of functionalized carbocycles in good yield. The effect of the organoboron subtype on Diels-Alder regioselectivity was investigated and postsynthetic modifications were carried out on a model substrate. The potential for a complementary Heck/Diels-Alder process was also assessed.

We have developed a Rh(III)-catalyzed diastereoselective [2+1] annulation onto allylic alcohols initiated by alkenyl C-H activation of N-enoxyphthalimides to furnish substituted cyclopropyl-ketones. Notably, the traceless oxyphthalimide handle serves three functions: directing C-H activation, oxidation of Rh(III), and, collectively with the allylic alcohol, in directing cyclopropanation to control diastereoselectivity. Allylic alcohols are shown to be highly reactive olefin coupling partners leading to a directed diastereoselective cyclopropanation reaction, providing products not accessible by other routes.
