Catalytic Nucleophilic Allylation Driven by the Water-Gas Shift Reaction

The ruthenium-catalyzed allylation of aldehydes with allylic pro-nucleophiles has been demonstrated to be an efficient means to form carbon-carbon bonds under mild conditions. The evolution of this reaction from the initial serendipitous discovery to its general synthetic scope is detailed, highlighting the roles of water, CO, and amine in the generation of a more complete catalytic cycle. The use of unsymmetrical allylic pro-nucleophiles was shown to give preferential product formation through the modulation of reaction conditions. Both (E)-cinnamyl acetate and vinyl oxirane were efficiently used to form the anti-branched products (up to >20:1 anti/syn) and E-linear products (up to >20:1 E/Z) in high selectivity with aromatic, α,β-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldehydes, respectively. Attempts to render the reaction enantioselective are highlighted and include enantioenrichment of up to 75:25 for benzaldehyde.

METHOD FOR FORMING ALLYLIC ALCOHOLS

A method of performing a chemical reaction includes reacting an allyl donor and a substrate in a reaction mixture, and forming a homoallylic alcohol in the reaction mixture. The substrate may be an aldehyde or a hemiacetal. The reaction mixture includes a ruthenium catalyst, carbon monoxide at a level of at least 1 equivalent relative to the substrate, and water at a level of at least 1 equivalent relative to the substrate, and an amine at a level of from 0 to 0.5 equivalent relative to the substrate. The reaction mixture may also include a halide, and the equivalents of the amine may be similar to those of the halide. The reacting includes maintaining the reaction mixture at a temperature of at least 40°C. The method may be catalytic in metal, environmentally benign, amenable to large-scale applications, and applicable to a wide range of substrates.

Diastereoselective construction of functionalized homoallylic alcohols by Ni-catalyzed diboron-promoted coupling of dienes and aldehydes

The nickel-catalyzed reaction of carbonyls and dienes was accomplished in a regio- and stereoselective fashion employing a stoichiometric amount of bis(pinacolato)diboron. This reductive coupling furnishes an allyl boronic ester as the reaction product, a compound which was readily converted to the derived allylic alcohol by oxidative workup. Copyright

A stereoselective approach to 1,3-amino alcohols protected as cyclic carbamates: Kinetic vs. thermodynamic control

Direct enantiocontrolled access to 1,3-amino alcohols protected as cyclic carbamates is described. The approach is based on the addition of a silyl dienolate to aldehydes in the presence of 10 % of Carreira's catalyst (vinylogous Mukaiyama-aldol addition)

Reaction of allylic-type diindium compounds with electrophiles

Allylic-type diindium reagents were prepared from 3-bromo-1-iodopropene (1a), 3-bromo-1-iodo-1-phenylpropene (1b), or 2,4-diiodobut-2-en-1-ol (1c) with metallic indium, and their successive coupling with electrophiles was examined. The coupling behavior o
