Studies on the diastereo-selective reduction of 2-acetyl-2-alkyl-γ-butyrolactones with boron hydrides

Reduction of 2-acetyl-2-alkyl-γ-butyrolactone derivatives with boron hydrides in the presence and absence of several chelating agents were studied. This process is influenced more by steric than chelation factors, yielding the isomeric alcohols syn (13-23

Direct Allylation of Active Methylene Compounds with Allylic Alcohols by Use of Palladium/Phosphine-Borane Catalyst System

The C?C bond formation between active methylene compounds and allylic alcohols has been newly developed by using a palladium complex as a catalyst together with a phosphine-borane ligand. The best phosphine-borane ligand for this direct allylation has bee

N-Heterocyclic olefins as efficient phase-transfer catalysts for base-promoted alkylation reactions

N-Heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) have very recently emerged as efficient promoters for several chemical reactions due to their strong Br?nsted/Lewis basicities. Here we report the novel application of NHOs as efficient phase-transfer organocatalysts for synt

Triethylborane as an efficient promoter for palladium-catalyzed allylation of active methylene compounds with allyl alcohols

Without prior activation of allyl alcohols, allylation of a variety of active methylene compounds with allyl alcohols proceeds smoothly at rt-50°C in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)2 (1-10mol%), Et 3B (30-240mol%), a phosphine ligand (1-20mol%), and a base (0 to 50-60mol%).
