Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated ketones; factors influencing 1,4- vs 1,2- regio- and enantioselectivity, and alkene vs alkyne directing effects

A detailed study has been completed on the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of a series of enones using Ru(II) catalysts. Electron-rich rings adjacent to the C[dbnd]O group reduce the level of C[dbnd]O reduction compared to C[dbnd]C. The ATH reaction can readily discriminate between double and triple bonds adjacent to ketones, reducing the double bond but leaving a triple bond intact in the major product.

Stereo-controlledanti-hydromagnesiation of aryl alkynes by magnesium hydrides

A concise protocol foranti-hydromagnesiation of aryl alkynes was established using 1?:?1 molar combination of sodium hydride (NaH) and magnesium iodide (MgI2) without the aid of any transition metal catalysts. The resulting alkenylmagnesium intermediates could be trapped with a series of electrophiles, thus providing facile accesses to stereochemically well-defined functionalized alkenes. Mechanistic studies by experimental and theoretical approaches imply that polar hydride addition from magnesium hydride (MgH2) is responsible for the process.

Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of cycloalkyl vinyl ketones to allylic alcohols catalyzed by ruthenium amido complexes

A chemoselective 1,2-reduction of cycloalkyl vinyl ketones via asymmetric transfer hydrogenation is described. The reduction proceeded smoothly with a chiral diamine ruthenium complex as a catalyst and a HCOOH-NEt3 azeotrope as both a hydrogen source and solvent under mild conditions. A wide range of 1-cycloalkyl chiral allylic alcohols were obtained in good yields and up to 87% ee. It was found that the alkyl group plays an important role in the enantioselectivity.

Br?nsted Acid Enabled Nickel-Catalyzed Hydroalkenylation of Aldehydes with Styrene and its Derivatives

A Br?nsted acid enabled nickel-catalyzed hydroalkenylation of aldehydes and styrene derivatives has been developed. The Br?nsted acid acts as a proton shuttle to transfer a proton from the alkene to the aldehyde, thereby leading to an economical and byproduct-free coupling. A series of synthetically useful allylic alcohols were obtained through one-step reactions from readily available styrene derivatives and aliphatic aldehydes in up to 88 % yield and with high linear selectivity.

Enolizable β-Fluoroenones: Synthesis and Asymmetric 1,2-Reduction

The hydrofluorination of enolizable ynones with AgF in t-BuOH/DMF is reported. The formation of furans as side products can be suppressed using 2,2′-biphenol. The corresponding β-fluoroenones were obtained with good Z-selectivity. A variety of functional groups are tolerated. β-Fluoroenones are vinylogous acid fluorides whose hydrolysis to vinylogous acids can be avoided under the reported reaction conditions. The asymmetric 1,2-reduction of β-fluoroenones to 3-fluoroallylic alcohols is possible with pinacolborane and a Ni(0) catalyst prepared from a pyrimidyloxazoline ligand.

Transition-Metal-Free Self-Hydrogen-Transferring Allylic Isomerization

Phenanthroline and tert-butoxide have been established as powerful radical initiators in reactions such as the SRN1-type coupling reactions due to the cooperation of large heteroarenes and a special feature of tert-butoxide. The first phenanthroline-tert-butoxide-catalyzed transition-metal-free allylic isomerization is described. The resulting ketones are key intermediates for indenes. The control experiments rule out the base-promoted allylic anion pathway. The radical pathway is supported by experimental evidence that includes kinetic study, kinetic isotope effect, isotope-labeling experiments, trapping experiments, and EPR experiments.

Highly selective 1,3-isomerization of allylic alcohols via rhenium oxo catalysis

Two reaction strategies are developed to promote the highly selective 1,3-isomerization of a variety of allylic alcohols using O3ReOSiPh3 as a catalyst. The first strategy utilizes substrates whose 1,3-regioisomer contains a conjugated alkene, which relies on thermodynamics to obtain high selectivity. The second strategy employs N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide as an additive to selectively and irreversibly remove the product from the reaction equilibrium and works well for the isomerization of tertiary allylic alcohols into primary allylic alcohols containing trisubstituted alkene components. High stereoselectivity is also observed in the 1,3-isomerization of enantioenriched allylic alcohols. Copyright

Zinc borates: Functionalized hard nucleophiles for coupling reactions with secondary allylic acetates

We have succeeded in developing zinc borates of the general structure 3 for coupling reaction with allylic acetates. The advantages of using compounds 3 are their compatibility with carbonyl groups such as aldehyde, ketone, and ester groups, and their high reactivity toward secondary allylic acetates. Zinc borates 3 were prepared from boronate esters 1 [R(T) = p-(CHO)C6H4, p-(Ac)C6H4, p-{Ac(CH2)2}C6H4, p-(Ac-OCH2)C6H4, p-{AcO(CH2)3}C6H4, p-{EtO2C(CH2}2}C6H4, (E)-CH=CH(CH2)4OAc] with MeZnCl; subsequent treatment with allylic acetates 4 [R = n-C5H11, c-C6H11, (CH2)2CH(-O(CH2}2O-)] in the presence of NiCl2(PPh3)2 (10 mol-%) in THF-DMI (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone) (10 equiv.) at 40-50 °C overnight furnished the coupling products 5 in good yields. Among the products, 5bb, possessing one free and one protected aldehyde group, is a highlight of this type of reaction. The stereochemical aspects of the reaction were also examined. Thus, the alkenyl groups of (E)- and (Z)-alkenyl borates 3b and c were transformed with retention of the olefinic geometry into acetates 4a and b (R = n-C5H11, c-C6H11), while reaction of cyclic acetate 11 proceeded with inversion at the carbon center involved in the reaction. In addition, we found that the anions generated from (EtO)2P(= O)CH2CO2Et and (MeO)2P(=O)CH2Ac under Masamune's conditions attacked the aldehyde carbon in the boronate 1d to produce - after reduction of the double bond - the boronate esters 1i and 1j, respectively, in good yields.

Carbon-carbon bond formation by intermolecular radical reaction. Sml2-promoted carbonyl-alkyne reductive coupling

An efficient intermolecular carbonyl-alkyne reductive coupling reaction was realized for the first time by using the system, Sml2-HMPA-hydrogen donor, to give the corresponding allylic alcohols in good yields.
