Catalytic, Enantioselective syn-Diamination of Alkenes

The enantioselective, vicinal diamination of alkenes represents one of the stereocontrolled additions that remains an outstanding challenge in organic synthesis. A general solution to this problem would enable the efficient and selective preparation of widely useful, enantioenriched diamines for applications in medicinal chemistry and catalysis. In this article, we describe the first enantioselective, syn-diamination of simple alkenes mediated by a chiral, enantioenriched organoselenium catalyst together with a N,N′-bistosyl urea as the bifunctional nucleophile and N-fluorocollidinium tetrafluoroborate as the stoichiometric oxidant. Diaryl, aryl-alkyl, and alkyl-alkyl olefins bearing a variety of substituents are all diaminated in consistently high enantioselectivities but variable yields. The reaction likely proceeds through a Se(II)/Se(IV) redox catalytic cycle reminiscent of the syn-dichlorination reported previously. Furthermore, the syn-stereospecificity of the transformation shows promise for highly enantioselective diaminations of alkenes with no strong steric or electronic bias.

We present herein an efficient synthetic protocol involving iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of organolithium compounds with vinyl halides as key coupling partners. More than 30 examples were obtained with moderate to good yields and high stereoselectivities. The practicality of this method is evidenced by a gram-scale synthesis. In addition, a preliminary mechanistic investigation was also performed.

Four Ru(II)-NC complexes were tested as catalysts for semihydrogenation of internal alkynes to (E)-alkenes with ethanol, and the complex {(C5H4N)(C6H4)}RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2 (1a) showed the highest activity. The reactions proceeded well with 1 mol % catalyst loading and 0.1 equiv of t-BuONa at 110 °C for 1 h, and 32 alkenes were synthesized with excellent E:Z selectivity. This is the first ruthenium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of internal alkynes to (E)-alkenes using ethanol as the hydrogen donor.

Selective direct ruthenium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of diaryl alkynes to the corresponding E-alkenes has been achieved using alcohols as the hydrogen source. The method employs a simple ruthenium catalyst, does not require external ligands, and affords the desired products in > 99% NMR yield in most cases (up to 93% isolated yield). Best results were obtained using benzyl alcohol as the hydrogen donor, although biorenewable alcohols such as furfuryl alcohol could also be applied. In addition, tandem semihydrogenation-alkylation reactions were demonstrated, with potential applications in the synthesis of resveratrol derivatives.
Diastereodivergent Reductive Cross Coupling of Alkynes through Tandem Catalysis: Z- and E-Selective Hydroarylation of Terminal Alkynes

A diastereodivergent hydroarylation of terminal alkynes is accomplished using tandem catalysis. The hydroarylation allows highly selective synthesis of both E and Z diastereoisomers of aryl alkenes, from the same set of starting materials, using the same combination of palladium and copper catalysts. The selectivity is controlled by simple changes in the stoichiometry of the alcohol additive. The hydroarylation has excellent substrate scope and can be accomplished in the presence of various classes of compounds, including esters, nitriles, alkyl halides, epoxides, carbamates, acetals, ethers, silyl ethers, and thioethers. The Z-selective hydroarylation is accomplished using a new approach based on tandem Sonogashira coupling and catalytic semireduction. The E-selective hydroarylation involves an additional catalytic isomerization of the Z-alkene. Our explorations of the reaction mechanism explain the role of individual reaction components and how the subtle changes in the reaction conditions influence the rates of specific steps of the hydroarylation. Our studies also show that, although the Z- and E-selective hydroarylation reactions are mechanistically closely related, the roles of the palladium and copper catalysts in the two reactions are different.

An efficient E-selective semihydrogenation of internal alkynes was developed under low dihydrogen pressure and low reaction temperature from commercially available reagents: Cl2Pd(PPh3)2, Zn0, and ZnI2. Kinetic studies and control experiments underline the significant role of ZnI2 in this process under H2 atmosphere, establishing that the transformation involves syn-hydrogenation followed by isomerization. This simple and easy-to-handle system provides a route to E-alkenes under mild conditions.

An interrupted Pummerer/nickel-catalysed cross-coupling strategy has been developed and used in the elaboration of styrenes. The operationally simple method can be carried out as a one-pot process, involves the direct formation of stable alkenyl sulfonium salt intermediates, utilises a commercially available sulfoxide, catalyst, and ligand, operates at ambient temperature, accommodates sp-, sp2-, and sp3-hybridised organozinc coupling partners, and delivers functionalised styrene products in high yields over two steps. An interrupted Pummerer/cyclisation approach has also been used to access carbo- and heterocyclic alkenyl sulfonium salts for cross-coupling.

For the first time N-graphitic-modified cobalt nanoparticles (Co/phen@SiO2-800) are shown to be active in the semihydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes. Key to success for efficient catalysis is both the modification of the metal nanoparticles by nitrogen-doped graphitic layers and the use of silica as support. Several internal alkynes are converted to the Z isomer in high yields with up to 93% selectivity. In addition, a variety of terminal alkynes, including sensitive functionalized compounds, are readily converted into terminal alkenes. Notably, this non-noble-metal catalyst allows for the purification of alkenes by selective hydrogenation of the corresponding alkyne in the presence of an excess of olefin.

The invention relates to a synthetic method of a toluylene compound. According to the reaction, aryl halide or mixed halides and alkene bromine are used as a substrate. Under the action of a catalyst, a ligand, a reducing agent and an additive, the substrate in ice-water bath is slowly heated to room temperature and a mild reaction is carried out for 8-12 h so as to obtain the toluylene compound. The method has advantages of cheap catalyst metal, mild reaction, one-step reaction, simple step, short reaction time, safe operation, high yield, etc.
Well-defined palladium(0) complexes bearing N-heterocyclic carbene and phosphine moieties: Efficient catalytic applications in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction and direct C-H functionalization

Two series of well-defined palladium(0) complexes with phosphine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands were prepared. These complexes featured six- and seven-membered chelate rings in the two series. Among the seven-membered chelate complexes, those featuring the PCy2 moiety exhibited observable fluxional behavior on the NMR time scale, corresponding to the interchange between two sets of conformations. Most of these novel complexes were successfully structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. These two series of palladium(0) complexes were tested for their potential catalytic applications in two mechanistically distinct reactions, namely, Mizoroki-Heck coupling and direct C-H functionalization reactions. One of the six-membered chelate complexes was found to be an efficient pre-catalyst for mediating the coupling reactions between aryl chlorides and alkenes. The palladium(0) complex could also be effectively applied in the direct C-H functionalization reactions of aryl bromides with 1,2-dimethylimidazole.
