Olefin isomerization is a significant transformation in organic synthesis, which provides a convenient synthetic route for internal olefins and remote functionalization processes. The selectivity of an olefin isomerization process is often thermodynamically controlled. Thus, to achieve selectivity under kinetic control is very challenging. Herein, we report a novel cobalt-catalyzed regioselective olefin isomerization reaction. By taking the advantage of fine-tunable NNP-pincer ligand structures, this catalytic system features high kinetic control of regioselectivity. This mild catalytic system enables the isomerization of 1,1-disubstituted olefins bearing a wide range of functional groups in excellent yields and regioselectivity. The synthetic utility of this transformation was highlighted by the highly selective preparation of a key intermediate for the total synthesis of minfiensine. Moreover, a new strategy was developed to realize the selective monoisomerization of 1-alkenes to 2-alkenes dictated by installing substituents on the γ-position of the double bonds. Mechanistic studies supported that the in situ generated Co-H species underwent migratory insertion of double bond/β-H elimination sequence to afford the isomerization product. The less hindered olefin products were always preferred in this cobalt-catalyzed olefin isomerization due to an effective ligand control of the regioselectivity for the β-H elimination step.

Two new N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been synthesized and employed in the transition metal-free asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) mediated by Grignard reagents and magnesium alanates. The employment of these ligands showed high yields and improved regio- and enantioselectivity in the formation of tertiary and quaternary stereocenters. Moreover, the low catalyst loading (up to 0.3 mol%) and high scalability (up to 10 mmol) of this improved methodology provide a convenient access to biologically active compounds and synthetically valuable intermediates.

Iron-catalyzed alkyl-aryl Kumada coupling has developed into an efficient synthetic method, yet its mechanism remains vague. Here, we apply a bis(oxazolinylphenyl)amido pincer ligand (Bopa) to stabilize the catalytically active Fe center, resulting in isolation and characterization of well-defined iron complexes whose catalytic roles have been probed and confirmed. Reactivity studies of the iron complexes identify an Fe(II) "ate" complex, [Fe(Bopa-Ph)(Ph)2]-, as the active species for the oxidative addition of alkyl halide. Experiments using radical-probe substrates and DFT computations reveal a bimetallic and radical mechanism for the oxidative addition. The kinetics of the coupling of an alkyl iodide with PhMgCl suggests that formation of the "ate" complex, rather than oxidative addition, is the turnover-determining step. This work provides insights into iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkyl halides.
Copper-free asymmetric allylic alkylation with a grignard reagent: Design of the ligand and mechanistic studies

The Cu-free asymmetric allylic alkylation, catalysed by NHC, with Grignard reagents is reported on allyl bromide derivatives with good results. The enantioselectivity was quite homogeneous (around 85 % ee) on large and various substrates, regardless of the nature of the Grignard reagent. The formation of stereogenic quaternary centres was highly regioselective for both aliphatic and aromatic derivatives with good enantiomeric excess (up to 92 % ee). The methodology developed was found to be complementary with the Cu-catalysed version. Several new NHCs were tested with improved efficiency. In addition, mechanistic studies, using NMR spectroscopy, led to the discovery of the catalytically active species. Copyright
