Copper(I)-Catalyzed Enantioselective Nucleophilic Borylation of Aliphatic Ketones: Synthesis of Enantioenriched Chiral Tertiary α-Hydroxyboronates

, p. 6646 - 6650 (2017)
A new method was developed for the first catalytic enantioselective borylation of aliphatic ketones. A variety of substrates reacted efficiently with bis(pinacolato)diboron in the presence of a copper(I)/chiral N-heterocyclic carbene complex catalyst to furnish optically active tertiary α-hydroxyboronates with moderate to high enantioselectivities (up to 94 % ee). Notably, the product could be converted into the chiral tertiary alcohol derivative using a stereospecific boron functionalization process. The theoretical study of the mechanism for the enantioselectivity is also described.
Gold N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysts for the Hydrofluorination of Alkynes Using Hydrofluoric Acid: Reaction Scope, Mechanistic Studies and the Tracking of Elusive Intermediates
Bédard, Sandrine,Cavallo, Luigi,Falivene, Laura,Gauthier, Rapha?l,Nolan, Steven P.,Paquin, Jean-Fran?ois,Saab, Marina,Tzouras, Nikolaos V.,Van Hecke, Kristof,Zhang, Ziyun

An efficient and chemoselective methodology deploying gold-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes as catalysts in the hydrofluorination of terminal alkynes using aqueous HF has been developed. Mechanistic studies shed light on an in situ generated catalyst, formed by the reaction of Br?nsted basic gold pre-catalysts with HF in water, which exhibits the highest reactivity and chemoselectivity. The catalytic system has a wide alkyl substituted-substrate scope, and stoichiometric as well as catalytic reactions with tailor-designed gold pre-catalysts enable the identification of various gold species involved along the catalytic cycle. Computational studies aid in understanding the chemoselectivity observed through examination of key mechanistic steps for phosphine- and NHC-coordinated gold species bearing the triflate counterion and the elusive key complex bearing a bifluoride counterion.
Olefination via Cu-Mediated Dehydroacylation of Unstrained Ketones

The dehydroacylation of ketones to olefins is realized under mild conditions, which exhibits a unique reaction pathway involving aromatization-driven C-C cleavage to remove the acyl moiety, followed by Cu-mediated oxidative elimination to form an alkene between the α and β carbons. The newly adopted N′-methylpicolinohydrazonamide (MPHA) reagent is key to enable efficient cleavage of ketone C-C bonds at room temperature. Diverse alkyl- and aryl-substituted olefins, dienes, and special alkenes are generated with broad functional group tolerance. Strategic applications of this method are also demonstrated.

Historically accessed through two-electron, anionic chemistry, ketones, alcohols, and amines are of foundational importance to the practice of organic synthesis. After placing this work in proper historical context, this Article reports the development, f
Radical Deuteration with D2O: Catalysis and Mechanistic Insights
Soulard, Valentin,Villa, Giorgio,Vollmar, Denis Patrick,Renaud, Philippe
, p. 155 - 158 (2018/01/17)
Selective incorporation of deuterium atoms into molecules is of high interest for labeling purposes and for optimizing properties of drug candidates. A mild and environmentally benign method for the deuteration of alkyl iodides via radical pathway using D2O as source of deuterium has been developed. The reaction is initiated and mediated by triethylborane in the presence of dodecanethiol as a catalyst. This method is compatible with a wide range of functional groups and provides the monodeuterated products in good yields and with a high level of deuterium incorporation. It opens promising opportunities for the development of enantioselective radical reactions. Moreover, a revision of the mechanism of the deoxygenation reaction of xanthates using R3B and water (Wood deoxygenation) is presented.
Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of alkyl acids with unactivated tertiary alkyl and glycosyl halides
Zhao, Chenglong,Jia, Xiao,Wang, Xuan,Gong, Hegui
supporting information, p. 17645 - 17651 (2015/02/05)
This work highlights Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of alkyl acids with alkyl halides, particularly sterically hindered unactivated tertiary alkyl bromides for the production of all carbon quaternary ketones. The reductive strategy is applicable to α-selective synthesis of saturated, fully oxygenated C-acyl glycosides through easy manipulations of the readily available sugar bromides and alkyl acids, avoiding otherwise difficult multistep conversions. Initial mechanistic studies suggest that a radical chain mechanism (cycle B, Scheme 1) may be plausible, wherein MgCl2 promotes the reduction of NiII complexes.
Mild ketone formation via Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of unactivated alkyl halides with acid anhydrides
Yin, Hongyu,Zhao, Chenglong,You, Hengzhi,Lin, Kunhua,Gong, Hegui
supporting information; experimental part, p. 7034 - 7036 (2012/08/14)
Ni-catalyzed ketone formation through mild reductive coupling of a diverse set of unactivated alkyl bromides and iodides with particularly aryl acid anhydrides was successfully developed using zinc as the terminal reductant. These conditions also allow direct coupling of alkyl iodides with aryl acids in the presence of Boc2O and MgCl2. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012.
