Cobalt-Catalyzed Asymmetric 1,4-Hydroboration of Enones with HBpin

Herein, a series of new 8-OIQ cobalt complexes were synthesized and used for cobalt-catalyzed chemo- and enantioselective 1,4-hydroboration of enones with HBpin to access chiral β,β-disubstituted ketones with good to excellent chemo- and enantioselectivties. This protocol is operationally simple and shows a broad substrate scope.

Copper-Photocatalyzed Contra-Thermodynamic Isomerization of Polarized Alkenes

The contra-thermodynamic isomerization of α- and β-substituted cinnamate derivatives catalyzed by the Cu(OAc)2/rac-BINAP complex under blue light irradiation is reported. The use of an oxazolidinone template, which favored the complexation of the copper catalyst to the substrate, allowed the E → Z isomerization of the catalytically formed chromophore under simple and robust reaction conditions in good to excellent ratios. The mechanism of this process based on the transient formation of a chromophore was also studied.

Carbene-Catalyzed Formal [3+3] Cycloaddition Reaction for Access to Substituted 2-Phenylbenzothiazoles

A carbene-catalyzed oxidative cycloaddition reaction is developed for efficient access to multi-functionalized 2-phenylbenzothiazoles. A broad scope of heavily substituted arenes bearing 2-benzothiazole groups have been prepared in good to excellent yields. The remote C(sp2)–H bond in the substituted arene products can be activated by Pd catalysts in regio-selective fashion with the direction of the 2-benzothiazole groups.

Catalytic Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of trans-Chalcone Derivatives Using BINOL-derived Boro-phosphates

Chiral phosphoric-acid-catalyzed asymmetric reductions of trans-chalcones have been investigated in this work. A BINOL-derived boro-phosphate-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of the carbon-carbon double bond of trans-chalcone derivatives employing borane as a hydride source was realized. This methodology provides a convenient procedure to access chiral dihydrochalone derivatives in high yields and with high enantioselectivities under mild conditions.

Synergistic N-Heterocyclic Carbene/Palladium-Catalyzed [3 + 2] Annulation of Vinyl Enolates with 1-Tosyl-2-vinylaziridine

The synergistic combination of N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalysis and transition-metal catalysis for a formal [3 + 2] annulation between 3-substituted but-2-enoates and 1-tosyl-2-vinylaziridine was developed. This cooperative strategy provides a facile and efficient access to various functionalized (E)-3-ethylidene-4-vinylpyrrolidin-2-ones in a regioselective and stereoselective manner. The preliminary asymmetric studies were also performed, which indicated a potential for enantioselective annulation of vinyl enolate intermediates with transition-metal-π-allyl species.

Catalytic hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives using copper(i)/N-heterocyclic carbene complexes

A simple and air-stable copper(i)/N-heterocyclic carbene complex enables the catalytic hydrogenation of enoates and enamides, hitherto unreactive substrates employing homogeneous copper catalysis and H2 as a terminal reducing agent. This atom economic transformation replaces commonly employed hydrosilanes and can also be carried out in an asymmetric fashion.

Enantioselective epoxidation of β,β-disubstituted enamides with a manganese catalyst and aqueous hydrogen peroxide

Enantioselective epoxidation of β,β-disubstituted enamides with aqueous hydrogen peroxide and a novel manganese catalyst is described. Epoxidation is stereospecific and proceeds fast under mild conditions. Amides are disclosed as key functional groups to enable high enantioselectivity.

Highly Selective and Catalytic Generation of Acyclic Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters via Functionalization of 1,3-Dienes with CO2

The catalytic asymmetric functionalization of readily available 1,3-dienes is highly important, but current examples are mostly limited to the construction of tertiary chiral centers. The asymmetric generation of acyclic products containing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters from substituted 1,3-dienes represents a more challenging, but highly desirable, synthetic process for which there are very few examples. Herein, we report the highly selective copper-catalyzed generation of chiral all-carbon acyclic quaternary stereocenters via functionalization of 1,3-dienes with CO2. A variety of readily available 1,1-disubstituted 1,3-dienes, as well as a 1,3,5-triene, undergo reductive hydroxymethylation with high chemo-, regio-, E/Z-, and enantioselectivities. The reported method features good functional group tolerance, is readily scaled up to at least 5 mmol of starting diene, and generates chiral products that are useful building blocks for further derivatization. Systemic mechanistic investigations using density functional theory calculations were performed and provided the first theoretical investigation for an asymmetric transformation involving CO2. These computational results indicate that the 1,2-hydrocupration of 1,3-diene proceeds with high π-facial selectivity to generate an (S)-allylcopper intermediate, which further induces the chirality of the quaternary carbon center in the final product. The 1,4-addition of an internal allylcopper complex, which differs from previous reports involving terminal allylmetallic intermediates, to CO2 kinetically determines the E/Z- and regioselectivity. The rapid reduction of a copper carboxylate intermediate to the corresponding silyl-ether in the presence of Me(MeO)2SiH provides the exergonic impetus and leads to chemoselective hydroxymethylation rather than carboxylation. These results provide new insights for guiding further development of asymmetric C-C bond formations with CO2

Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of β-carbonyl alkenyl pivalates with arylzinc chlorides

The nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of β-carbonyl alkenyl pivalates with arylzinc reagents generates 3-aryl-substituted α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds via C-O bond cleavage. The reaction features mild reaction conditions, a wide scope of substrates, and good functional group tolerance.

Rh-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of β-Branched Enol Esters for the Synthesis of β-Chiral Primary Alcohols

An asymmetric hydrogenation of β-branched enol esters has been developed for the first time, providing a new route for the synthesis of β-chiral primary alcohols. Using a (S)-SKP-Rh complex bearing a large bite angle and enol ester substrates possessing an O-fomyl directing group, the desired products were obtained in quantitative yields and with excellent enantioselectivities.
