Cobalt-Catalyzed Vinylic C-H Addition to Formaldehyde: Synthesis of Butenolides from Acrylic Acids and HCHO
Yu, Shuling,Hong, Chao,Liu, Zhanxiang,Zhang, Yuhong
supporting information, p. 8359 - 8364 (2021/11/01)
A carboxyl-assisted C-H functionalization of acrylic acids with formaldehyde to give butenolides is described. It is the first time that the addition of an inert vinylic C-H bond to formaldehyde has been achieved via cobalt-catalyzed C-H activation. The unique reactivity of the cobalt species was observed when compared with related Rh or Ir catalysts. γ-Hydroxymethylated butenolides were produced by the treatment of Na2CO3 after the catalytic reaction in one pot.

An ene-reductase (ERED 36) with broad substrate specificity was identified, and optimization studies led to the development of an enzymatic protocol for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated acids under mild, aqueous conditions. The substrate scope includes aromatic- A nd aliphatic-substituted acrylic acids, as well as cyclic α,β-substituted acrylic acids, yielding chiral α-substituted acids with exquisite levels of enantioselectivity (>99% ee).

A versatile method for the hydromethylation and hydroalkylation of alkenes at room temperature is achieved by using the photooxidative redox capacity of the valence band of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2). Mechanistic studies support a radical-based mechanism involving the photoexcitation of TiO2 with 390 nm light in the presence of acetic acid and other carboxylic acids to generate methyl and alkyl radicals, respectively, without the need for stoichiometric base. This protocol is accepting of a broad scope of alkene and carboxylic acids, including challenging ones that produce highly reactive primary alkyl radicals and those containing functional groups that are susceptible to nucleophilic substitution such as alkyl halides. This methodology highlights the utility of using heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysts such as TiO2 for promoting challenging organic syntheses that rely on highly reactive intermediates.
Efficient Synthesis of Spirooxindole Pyrrolones by a Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed C?H Activation/Carbene Insertion/Lossen Rearrangement Sequence
Ma, Biao,Wu, Peng,Wang, Xing,Wang, Zhengyu,Lin, Hai-Xia,Dai, Hui-Xiong
supporting information, p. 13335 - 13339 (2019/08/20)
A rhodium(III)-catalyzed domino annulation of simple olefins with diazo oxindoles to give spirooxindole pyrrolone products is described. This reaction can be formally viewed as the result of an anomalous tandem C?H activation, carbene insertion, Lossen rearrangement, and a nucleophilic addition process. The potential utility of this reaction was further demonstrated by the late-stage diversification of drug molecules.

An efficient synthetic method has been developed for the synthesis of 2-arylacrylic esters from the corresponding aryl methyl ketones via Wittig reaction and singlet oxygen ene reaction. Wittig reaction to aryl methyl ketones with (methoxymethyl)triphenyl
Room-temperature, ligand- and base-free heck reactions of aryl diazonium salts at low palladium loading: Sustainable preparation of substituted stilbene derivatives
Felpin, Francois-Xavier,Miqueu, Karinne,Sotiropoulos, Jean-Marc,Fouquet, Eric,Ibarguren, Oier,Laudien, Julia
experimental part, p. 5191 - 5204 (2010/08/20)
The Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed Heck reaction of aryl diazonium salts with 2-arylacrylates led to cis-stilbenes with good to excellent stereoselectivity. The environmentally friendly protocol developed in this work features low palladium loading in technical-grade methanol at room temperature under base-, additive-, and ligand-free condi-tions. The same protocol applied to simple Heck coupling of aryl diazonium salts with methyl acrylate allows as-tonishingly low palladium loading, down to 0.005 mol %. The stereoselectivity experimentally observed for the synthesis of cis-stilbenes has been rationalized by DFT calculations. Moreover, the role of methanol in promoting the reaction has been clarified by a computational study.
Total synthesis of haouamine A: the indeno-tetrahydropyridine core
