Highly chemo- and stereoselective Fe-catalyzed alkenylation of organomanganese reagents

Organomanganese chlorides react with alkenyl iodides, bromides and chlorides in the presence of 3% Fe(acac)3. The reaction takes place under very mild conditions (THF-NMP, rt, 1h) to afford the substituted olefin in excellent yields with a high stereo- and chemoselectivity. Thus an unprotected keto alkenyl chloride selectively gives the corresponding keto olefin. From a preparative point of view, this procedure is the first real alternative to the Pd- and Ni-cross coupling reaction used until now.

A rearrangement to a zirconium-alkenylidene in the insertion of dihalocarbenoids and acetylides into zirconacycles

(Chemical Equation Presented) Sequential insertion of 1-lithio-1,1- dihaloalkanes and lithium acetylides into zirconacyclopentenes and -pentanes affords complex bicyclo[3.3.0]octenes and bicyclo[3.3.0]octanes through a novel rearrangement of a zirconium-a

Homolytic allylation of vinyl iodides with allylstannanes

In the presence of AIBN or Et3B, a variety of vinyl iodides reacted with allylstannanes bearing an electron-withdrawing group at the β-position to afford 1,4-dienes in moderate to good yields. The allylation showed high stereoselectivity when t

A facile stereoselective synthesis of (E)-1,2-disubstituted vinylic selenides via hydromagnesiation of alkylarylacetylenes

Hydromagnesiation of alkylarylacetylenes 1 in diethyl ether gave (E)-α-arylvinyl Grignard reagents 2, which reacted with arylselenenyl bromides 3 in THF to afford stereoselectively (E)-1,2-disubstituted vinylic selenides 4 in good yields.

Ir-Catalyzed Remote Functionalization by the Combination of Deconjugative Chain-Walking and C-H Activation Using a Transient Directing Group

An Ir-catalyzed reaction of N-benzylideneanilines with functionalized alkenes such as α,β-unsaturated esters gave ortho-substituted benzaldehyde derivatives with a functional group at the remote position after acidic treatment. The present transformation

Dinuclear cobalt complex-catalyzed stereodivergent semireduction of alkynes: Switchable selectivities controlled by H2O

Catalytic semireduction of internal alkynes to alkenes is very important for organic synthesis. Although great success has been achieved in this area, switchable Z/E stereoselectivity based on a single catalyst for the semireduction of internal alkynes is a longstanding challenge due to the multichemo- and stereoselectivity, especially based on less-expensive earth-abundant metals. Herein, we describe a switchable semireduction of alkynes to (Z)- or (E)-alkenes catalyzed by a dinuclear cobalt complex supported by a macrocyclic bis pyridyl diimine (PDI) ligand. It was found that cis-reduction of the alkyne occurs first and the Z-E alkene stereoisomerization process is formally controlled by the amount of H2O, since the concentration of H2O may influence the catalytic activity of the catalyst for isomerization. Therefore, this protocol provides a facile way to switch to either the (Z)- or (E)-olefin isomer in a single transformation by adjusting the amount of water.

Selective hydroboration of equilibrating allylic azides

The iridium(i)-catalyzed hydroboration of equilibrating allylic azides is reported to provide only the anti-Markovnikov product of alk-1-ene isomers in good yields and with good functional group tolerance.

Recyclable and reusable PdCl2(PPh3)2/PEG-400/H2O system for the hydrophenylation of alkynes with sodium tetraphenylborate

A stable and efficient PdCl2(PPh3)2/PEG-400/H2O catalytic system for the hydrophenylation reaction of alkynes has been developed. In the presence of 3 mol% PdCl2(PPh3)2 and 2 equiv. of HOAc, the hydrophenylation of both terminal and internal alkynes with sodium tetraphenylborate proceeded smoothly in a mixture of PEG-400 and water at room temperature or 50 °C to afford a variety of phenyl-substituted alkenes in moderate to high yields. The isolation of the products was easily performed by extraction with petroleum ether, and the PdCl2(PPh3)2/PEG-400/H2O system could be readily recycled and reused six times without apparent loss of catalytic activity.

Self-Assembled Open Porous Nanoparticle Superstructures

Imparting porosity to inorganic nanoparticle assemblies to build up self-assembled open porous nanoparticle superstructures represents one of the most challenging issues and will reshape the property and application scope of traditional inorganic nanoparticle solids. Herein, we discovered how to engineer open pores into diverse ordered nanoparticle superstructures via their inclusion-induced assembly within 1D nanotubes, akin to the molecular host-guest complexation. The open porous structure of self-assembled composites is generated from nonclose-packing of nanoparticles in 1D confined space. Tuning the size ratios of the tube-to-nanoparticle enables the structural modulation of these porous nanoparticle superstructures, with symmetries such as C1, zigzag, C2, C4, and C5. Moreover, when the internal surface of the nanotubes is blocked by molecular additives, the nanoparticles would switch their assembly pathway and self-assemble on the external surface of the nanotubes without the formation of porous nanoparticle assemblies. We also show that the open porous nanoparticle superstructures can be ideal candidate for catalysis with accelerated reaction rates.

An Amine-Assisted Ionic Monohydride Mechanism Enables Selective Alkyne cis-Semihydrogenation with Ethanol: From Elementary Steps to Catalysis

The selective synthesis of Z-alkenes in alkyne semihydrogenation relies on the reactivity difference of the catalysts toward the starting materials and the products. Here we report Z-selective semihydrogenation of alkynes with ethanol via a coordination-induced ionic monohydride mechanism. The EtOH-coordination-driven Cl- dissociation in a pincer Ir(III) hydridochloride complex (NCP)IrHCl (1) forms a cationic monohydride, [(NCP)IrH(EtOH)]+Cl-, that reacts selectively with alkynes over the corresponding Z-alkenes, thereby overcoming competing thermodynamically dominant alkene Z-E isomerization and overreduction. The challenge for establishing a catalytic cycle, however, lies in the alcoholysis step; the reaction of the alkyne insertion product (NCP)IrCl(vinyl) with EtOH does occur, but very slowly. Surprisingly, the alcoholysis does not proceed via direct protonolysis of the Ir-C(vinyl) bond. Instead, mechanistic data are consistent with an anion-involved alcoholysis pathway involving ionization of (NCP)IrCl(vinyl) via EtOH-for-Cl substitution and reversible protonation of Cl- ion with an Ir(III)-bound EtOH, followed by β-H elimination of the ethoxy ligand and C(vinyl)-H reductive elimination. The use of an amine is key to the monohydride mechanism by promoting the alcoholysis. The 1-amine-EtOH catalytic system exhibits an unprecedented level of substrate scope, generality, and compatibility, as demonstrated by Z-selective reduction of all alkyne classes, including challenging enynes and complex polyfunctionalized molecules. Comparison with a cationic monohydride complex bearing a noncoordinating BArF- ion elucidates the beneficial role of the Cl- ion in controlling the stereoselectivity, and comparison between 1-amine-EtOH and 1-NaOtBu-EtOH underscores the fact that this base variable, albeit in catalytic amounts, leads to different mechanisms and consequently different stereoselectivity.
