BARBIER-TYPE REACTION WITH TRIALKYLSTIBINE

In the presence of trialkylstibine, various aldehydes react readily with allyl halides to form homoallylic alcohols in excellent yield.

Catalytic Allylation of Aldehydes Using Unactivated Alkenes

Simple feedstock organic molecules, especially alkenes, are attractive starting materials in organic synthesis because of their wide availability. Direct utilization of such bulk, inert organic molecules for practical and selective chemical reactions, however, remains limited. Herein, we developed a ternary hybrid catalyst system comprising a photoredox catalyst, a hydrogen-atom-transfer catalyst, and a chromium complex catalyst, enabling catalytic allylation of aldehydes with simple alkenes, including feedstock lower alkenes. The reaction proceeded under visible-light irradiation at room temperature and with high functional group tolerance. The reaction was extended to an asymmetric variant by employing a chiral chromium complex catalyst.

Syn -Selective crotylation of aldehydes using bismuth-crotyl bromide-(1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide) combination: Some synthetic applications

The Bi-[bmim][Br] combination has been found to offer high syn-selectivity in the crotylation of aldehydes with crotyl bromide using practically stoichiometric amounts of the reagents. The room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), [bmim][Br], activated Bi metal in the presence of oxygen to produce crotylbismuthdibromide, which reacted with the aldehydes at room temperature. The major anti-syn diastereomeric product obtained from the crotylation of (R)-cyclohexylideneglyceraldehyde was utilized for the synthesis of dictyostatin and cryptophycin segments, and (+)-cis-aerangis lactone, using standard synthetic protocols.

Nickel-catalyzed double bond transposition of alkenyl boronates for in situ syn-selective allylboration reactions

The transposition of a homoallyl pinacol boronic ester was realized by a highly reactive nickel-catalyst system comprising NiCl2(dppp), zinc powder, ZnI2, and Ph2PH. The in situ generated Z-crotyl pinacol boronic esters were reacted with various aldehydes to form syn-homoallylic alcohols in high diastereoselectivities. The present nickel-catalyzed reaction is complementary to the iridium-catalyzed transposition reported by Murakami leading to the corresponding anti-homoallylic alcohols. Also, the multiple transposition of pentenyl pinacol boronic ester was realized.

Catalytic organic reactions on the surface of silver(I) oxide in water

We have developed Ag2O-catalyzed allylation reactions of aldehydes with allylsilanes in water, providing homoallylic alcohols in high yields with high anti-selectivities. It was found that the reactions proceeded not in the water solution but o

Allylation reactions of aldehydes with allylboronates in aqueous media: Unique reactivity and selectivity that are only observed in the presence of water

Zn(OH)2-catalyzed allylation reactions of aldehydes with allylboronates in aqueous media have been developed. In contrast to conventional allylboration reactions of aldehydes in organic solvents, the α-addition products were obtained exclusively. A catalytic cycle in which the allylzinc species was generated through a B-to-Zn exchange process is proposed and kinetic studies were performed. The key intermediate, an allylzinc species, was detected by HRMS (ESI) analysis and by online continuous MS (ESI) analysis. This analysis revealed that, in aqueous media, the allylzinc species competitively reacted with the aldehydes and water. An investigation of the reactivity and selectivity of the allylzinc species by using several typical allylboronates (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) clarified several important roles of water in this allylation reaction. The allylation reactions of aldehydes with allylboronic acid 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol esters proceeded smoothly in the presence of catalytic amounts of Zn(OH)2 and achiral ligand 4d in aqueous media to afford the corresponding syn-adducts in high yields with high diastereoselectivities. In all cases, the α-addition products were obtained and a wide substrate scope was tolerated. Furthermore, this reaction was applied to asymmetric catalysis by using chiral ligand 9. Based on the X-ray structure of the Zn-9 complex, several nonsymmetrical chiral ligands were also found to be effective. This reaction was further applied to catalytic asymmetric alkylallylation, chloroallylation, and alkoxyallylation processes and the synthetic utility of these reactions has been demonstrated. Still waters run deep: The Zn(OH)2-catalyzed allylation of aldehydes with allylboronates in aqueous media exclusively afford the α-addition products. This reaction was also applied to alkylallylation, chloroallylation, and alkoxyallylation reactions. The role of water is discussed. Copyright

Silver oxide as a novel catalyst for carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions in aqueous media

Silver oxide was found to be an excellent catalyst for allylation reactions of allyltributyltins with aldehydes in aqueous media. Despite the very low solubility of silver oxide in the media, the reactions proceeded smoothly, and the catalyst was recovere

Iridium-catalyzed hydrohydroxyalkylation of butadiene: Carbonyl crotylation

Exposure of alcohols 1a-1i to butadiene in the presence of a cyclometallated iridium catalyst derived from allyl acetate, 4-methoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid and 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)biphenyl (BIPHEP) results in hydrogen transfer to generate aldehyde-allyliridium pairs, which engage in C-C coupling to form products of carbonyl crotylation. Under related conditions using 1,4-butanediol as hydrogen donor, butadiene reductively couples to aldehydes 2e-2g and 2i to furnish carbonyl crotylation products 3e-3g and 3i. Thus, butadiene-mediated carbonyl crotylation occurs with equal facility from the alcohol or aldehyde oxidation level with complete levels of branched regioselectivity.

Stereoselective addition of allylstibonium bromide to aldehydes

Reaction of allylantimony with aldehydes provides homoallylic alcohols with high threo selectivity in the case of (E)-4-methyl-2-pentenylantimony (2c) and with preferential erythro selectivity in the case of crotylantimony (2a).
