Onaka, Makoto,Kita, Hiroshi,Izumi, Yusuke
, p. 1895 - 1898 (1985)
Decomposition of aryldiazomethanes is catalyzed by copper ion-exchanged Y-type zeolite to afford cis-1,2-diarylethylenes in high selectivity.The catalytic activity and selectivity are found to be affected by the exchange level of copper ions in zeolite and the solvent used.
sym-1,2-Diarylethylenes from α-Lithiated Benzylic Sulfones. Catalysis by Elemental Tellurium
Engman, Lars
, p. 3559 - 3563 (1984)
The stability of α-lithiated alkyl, allyl, and benzyl phenyl sulfones was studied. α-Lithiated benzyl phenyl sulfones were found to give sym-1,2-diarylethylenes slowly when kept in tetrahydrofuran at ambient temperature for several days.The reaction time was significantly reduced if a catalytic amount (18-24percent) of elemental tellurium was present in the reaction.Other chalcogenides were less effective in this respect.The uncatalyzed reaction produced essentially pure trans olefins whereas the tellurium-catalyzed process afforded substantial amounts of cis isomer(usually 15-35percent).Tellurium tetrachloride in chloroform at ambient to reflux temperature was found to be highly effective in promoting cis/trans isomerization of 1,2-diarylethylenes.The involvement of a carbene mechanism or an intermolecular reaction of α-lithiated benzyl phenyl sulfones is considered in a mechanistic discussion.

Energy transfer plays a special role in photocatalysis by utilizing the potential energy of the excited state through indirect excitation, in which a photosensitizer determines the thermodynamic feasibility of the reaction. Bioinspired by the energy-transfer ability of natural product cercosporin, here we developed a green and highly efficient organic photosensitizer HiBRCP (hexaisobutyryl reduced cercosporin) through structural modification of cercosporin. After structural manipulation, its triplet energy was greatly improved, and then, it could markedly promote the efficient geometrical isomerization of alkenes from the E-isomer to the Z-isomer. Moreover, it was also effective for energy-transfer-mediated organometallic catalysis, which allowed realization of the cross-coupling of aryl bromides and carboxylic acids through efficient energy transfer from HiBRCP to nickel complexes. Thus, the study on the relationship between structural manipulation and their photophysical properties provided guidance for further modification of cercosporin, which could be applied to more meaningful and challenging energy-transfer reactions.

The selective synthesis of Z-alkenes in alkyne semihydrogenation relies on the reactivity difference of the catalysts toward the starting materials and the products. Here we report Z-selective semihydrogenation of alkynes with ethanol via a coordination-induced ionic monohydride mechanism. The EtOH-coordination-driven Cl- dissociation in a pincer Ir(III) hydridochloride complex (NCP)IrHCl (1) forms a cationic monohydride, [(NCP)IrH(EtOH)]+Cl-, that reacts selectively with alkynes over the corresponding Z-alkenes, thereby overcoming competing thermodynamically dominant alkene Z-E isomerization and overreduction. The challenge for establishing a catalytic cycle, however, lies in the alcoholysis step; the reaction of the alkyne insertion product (NCP)IrCl(vinyl) with EtOH does occur, but very slowly. Surprisingly, the alcoholysis does not proceed via direct protonolysis of the Ir-C(vinyl) bond. Instead, mechanistic data are consistent with an anion-involved alcoholysis pathway involving ionization of (NCP)IrCl(vinyl) via EtOH-for-Cl substitution and reversible protonation of Cl- ion with an Ir(III)-bound EtOH, followed by β-H elimination of the ethoxy ligand and C(vinyl)-H reductive elimination. The use of an amine is key to the monohydride mechanism by promoting the alcoholysis. The 1-amine-EtOH catalytic system exhibits an unprecedented level of substrate scope, generality, and compatibility, as demonstrated by Z-selective reduction of all alkyne classes, including challenging enynes and complex polyfunctionalized molecules. Comparison with a cationic monohydride complex bearing a noncoordinating BArF- ion elucidates the beneficial role of the Cl- ion in controlling the stereoselectivity, and comparison between 1-amine-EtOH and 1-NaOtBu-EtOH underscores the fact that this base variable, albeit in catalytic amounts, leads to different mechanisms and consequently different stereoselectivity.
E, Z -Selectivity in the reductive cross-coupling of two benzaldehydes to stilbenes under substrate control

Unsymmetrical E- and Z-stilbenes can be synthesized from two differently substituted benzaldehydes in a MesP(TMS)Li-promoted reductive coupling sequence. Depending on the order of addition of the two coupling partners, the same olefin can be produced in either E- or Z-enriched form under identical reaction conditions. A systematic study of the correlation between the stereochemical outcome of the reaction and the substitution pattern at the two aldehydes is presented. The results can be used as guidelines to predict the product stereochemistry. This journal is
Using alcohols as simple H2-equivalents for copper-catalysed transfer semihydrogenations of alkynes

Copper(i)/N-heterocyclic carbene complexes enable a transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes employing simple and readily available alcohols such as isopropanol. The practical overall protocol circumvents the use of commonly employed high pressure equipment when using dihydrogen (H2) on the one hand, and avoids the generation of stoichiometric silicon-based waste on the other hand, when hydrosilanes are used as terminal reductants.
Photoinitiated carbonyl-metathesis: Deoxygenative reductive olefination of aromatic aldehydes: Via photoredox catalysis

Carbonyl-carbonyl olefination, known as McMurry reaction, represents a powerful strategy for the construction of olefins. However, catalytic variants that directly couple two carbonyl groups in a single reaction are less explored. Here, we report a photoredox-catalysis that uses B2pin2 as terminal reductant and oxygen trap allowing for deoxygenative olefination of aromatic aldehydes under mild conditions. This strategy provides access to a diverse range of symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkenes with moderate to high yield (up to 83%) and functional-group tolerance. To follow the reaction pathway, a series of experiments were conducted including radical inhibition, deuterium labelling, fluorescence quenching and cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, NMR studies and DFT calculations were combined to detect and analyze three active intermediates: a cyclic three-membered anionic species, an α-oxyboryl carbanion and a 1,1-benzyldiboronate ester. Based on these results, we propose a mechanism for the CC bond generation involving a sequential radical borylation, "bora-Brook" rearrangement, B2pin2-mediated deoxygenation and a boron-Wittig process.

A novel Pd-catalyzed oxidative Heck reaction with readily available Grignard reagents using di-t-butyldiaziridinone as an oxidant has been developed. Various substituted olefins were obtained in 46-91% yields with high regioselectivity under mild reaction conditions.

We report the exploration into photoredox generation of carbonyl ylides from benzylic epoxides using newly designed 4-mesityl-2,6-diphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (MDPT) and 4-mesityl-2,6-di-p-tolylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (MD(p-tolyl)PT) catalysts. These catalysts are excited at visible wavelengths, are highly robust, and exhibit some of the highest oxidation potentials reported. Their utility was demonstrated in the mild and efficient generation of carbonyl ylides from benzylic epoxides that otherwise could not be carried out by current common photoredox catalysts.

The stereoselective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes is an extremely useful transformation in synthetic chemistry. Despite numerous reports for the synthesis of Zalkenes, the hydrogenation of alkynes to give E-alkenes is still not well resolved. In particular, selective preparation of both Z- and E-alkenes by the same catalytic hydrogenation system using molecular H2 has rarely been reported. In this paper, a novel strategy of using simple alkenes as promoters for the HB(C6F5)2-catalyzed metal-free hydrogenation of alkynes was adopted. Significantly, both Z - and E-alkenes can be furnished by hydrogenation with molecular H2 in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities. Further experimental and theoretical mechanistic studies suggest that interactions between H and F atoms of the alkene promoter, borane intermediate, and H2 play an essential role in promoting the hydrogenolysis reaction.
