C-F bond cleavage enabled redox-neutral [4+1] annulation via C-H bond activation

Using α,α-difluoromethylene alkyne as a nontraditional one-carbon reaction partner, a synthetically novel method for the construction of isoindolin-1-one derivatives via Rh(III)-catalyzed [4+1] annulation reaction is reported. The 2-fold C-F bond cleavage not only enables the generation of desired product under an overall oxidant-free condition but also results in a net migration of carbon-carbon triple bond. In addition, the present reaction protocol exhibits a tolerance of a wide spectrum of functional groups due to the mild reaction conditions employed.

Copper-Catalyzed Propargylic Reduction with Diisobutylaluminum Hydride

A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of allenes through selective copper-catalyzed hydride addition to propargylic chlorides using commercially available diisobutylaluminum hydride has been developed. This transformation, which is promoted by a readily accessible N-heterocyclic carbene-copper complex, provides a wide range of new and versatile functionalized allenes in good to excellent yields with high regio- A nd stereoselectivities.

1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene-Catalyzed Carbonylative Cyclization of Propargylic Alcohols with Elemental Sulfur

A carbonylation procedure involving the cyclization of propargylic alcohols with elemental sulfur was developed. With 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene as the catalyst, elemental sulfur and carbon monoxide are activated and incorporated into propargylic

Catalytic asymmetric enyne addition to aldehdyes and Rh(I)-catalyzed stereoselective domino Pauson-Khand/[4 + 2] cycloaddition

The 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol-ZnEt2-Ti(OiPr) 4-Cy2NH system is found to catalyze the 1,3-enyne addition to aliphatic aldehydes as well as other aldehydes at room temperature with 75-96% yield and 82-97% ee. This system is also broadly applicable for the highly enantioselective reaction of other alkyl-, aryl-, and silylalkynes with structurally diverse aldehydes. The propargylic alcohols prepared from the catalytic asymmetric enyne addition to aliphatic aldehydes are used to prepare a series of optically active trienynes. In the presence of a catalytic amount of [RhCl(CO)2]2 and 1 atm of CO, the optically active trienynes undergo highly stereoselective domino Pauson-Khand/[4 + 2] cycloaddition to generate optically active multicyclic products. The Rh(I) catalyst is also found to catalyze the coupling of a diyne with CO followed by [4 + 2] cycloaddition to generate an optically active multicyclic product. These transformations are potentially useful for the asymmetric synthesis of polyquinanes containing a quaternary chiral carbon center.

3,3′-anisyl-substituted BINOL, H4BINOL, and H 8BINOL ligands: Asymmetric synthesis of diverse propargylic alcohols and their ring-closing metathesis to chiral cycloalkenes

(Chemical Equation Presented) A series of optically active BINOL, H 4BINOL, and H8BINOL derivatives were prepared. These compounds in combination with ZnEt2 and Ti(OiPr) 4 were used to catalyze the asymmetric reaction of alkynes with aldehydes to generate chiral propargylic alcohols at room temperature. Through this comparative study, a 3,3′-bisanisyl-substituted H8BINOL (S)-7 was found to be a generally enantioselective catalyst for the reaction of structurally diverse terminal alkynes with a variety of aldehydes. It catalyzed the reactions of alkyl propiolates with 88-99% ee; the reactions of phenylacetylene with 81-87% ee; the reactions of 4-phenyl-1-butyne, an alkyl alkyne, with 77-89% ee; and the reactions of trimethylsilylacetylene with 92-97% ee. The optically active propargylic alcohols generated from this catalytic asymmetric alkyne addition were observed to undergo efficient ring-closing-metathesis (RCM) reaction in the presence of the Grubbs II catalyst to produce chiral cycloalkenes. It was further found that some of the chiral propargylic alcohols underwent a highly chemoselective tandem RCM hydrogenation reaction with retention of the enantiomeric purity. 2009 American Chemical Society.
