, p. 1039 - 1043 (2018)
Highly strained 2H-azirines with a tetrasubstituted stereocenter were synthesized by the enantioselective isomerization of isoxazoles with a chiral diene–rhodium catalyst system. The effect of ligands and the coordination behavior support the proposed cat

A strategy for expanding the utility of chiral pyridine-2,6-bis(oxazoline) (pybox) ligands for asymmetric transition metal catalysis is introduced by adding a bidentate ligand to modulate the electronic properties and asymmetric induction. Specifically, a ruthenium(II) pybox fragment is combined with a cyclometalated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand to generate catalysts for enantioselective transition metal nitrenoid chemistry, including ring contraction to chiral 2H-azirines (up to 97 % ee with 2000 TON) and enantioselective C(sp3)?H aminations (up to 97 % ee with 50 TON).
Exploring Site Selectivity of Iridium Hydride Insertion into Allylic Alcohols: Serendipitous Discovery and Comparative Study of Organic and Organometallic Catalysts for the Vinylogous Peterson Elimination

The vinylogous Peterson elimination of a broad range of primary, secondary, and tertiary silylated allylic alcohols by two distinct and complementary catalytic systems - a cationic iridium complex and a Br?nsted acid - is reported. These results are unexpected. Nonsilylated substrates are typically isomerized into aldehydes and silylated allylic alcohols into homoallylic alcohols with structurally related iridium complexes. Although several organic acids and bases are known to promote the vinylogous Peterson elimination, the practicality, mildness, functional group tolerance, and generality of both catalysts are simply unprecedented. Highly substituted C=C bonds, stereochemically complex scaffolds, and vicinal tertiary and quaternary (stereo)centers are also compatible with the two methods. Both systems are stereospecific and enantiospecific. After optimization, a vast number of dienes with substitution patterns that would be difficult to generate by established strategies are readily accessible. Importantly, control experiments secured that traces of acid that may be generated upon decomposition of the in situ generated iridium hydride are not responsible for the activity observed with the organometallic species. Upon inspection of the reaction scope and on the basis of preliminary investigations, a mechanism involving iridium-hydride and iridium-allyl intermediates is proposed to account for the elimination reaction. Overall, this study confirms that site selectivity for [Ir-H] insertion across the C=C bond of allylic alcohols is a key parameter for the reaction outcome.

Abstract We describe herein an efficient approach for the preparation of 4-substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-ones starting from Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts. These heterocycles were obtained in two or three steps as single isomers with moderate to goo

The substrate range of the [TiCl2(TADDOLate)] (TADDOL=α,α,α′,α′-tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4, 5-dimethanol)-catalyzed asymmetric α-fluorination of activated β-carbonyl compounds has been investigated. Optimal conditions for catalysis are characterized by using 5 mol-% of TiCl2(naphthalen-1- yl)-TADDOLate) as catalyst in a saturated (0.14 mol/l) MeCN solution of F-TEDA (1-(chloromethyl)-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis- [tetrafluoroborate]) at room temperature. A series of α-methylated β-keto esters (3-oxobutanoates, 3-oxopentanoates) with bulky benzyl ester groups (60-90% ee) or phenyl ester (67-88% ee) have been fluorinated readily, whereas α-acyl lactones were also readily fluorinated, but gave lower inductions (13-46% ee). Double stereochemical differentiation in β-keto esters with chiral ester groups raised the stereoselectivity to a diastereomeric ratio (dr) of up to 96.5:3.5. For the first time, β-keto S-thioesters were asymmetrically fluorinated (62-91.5% ee) and chlorinated (83% ee). Lower inductions were observed in fluorinations of 1,3-diketones (up to 40% ee) and β-keto amides (up to 59% ee). General strategies for preparing activated β-carbonyl compounds as important model substrates for asymmetric catalytic α-functionalizations are presented (>60 examples). Copyright
MESOMERIC ANIONS. X. METHYLATION OF ALKALI-METAL DERIVATIVES OF SOME 1,3-KETONITRILES

The effect of polar factors on the relative nucleophilicity of the oxygen and carbon reaction centers in the alkali-metal derivatives of 2-(X-benzoyl)acetonitriles, 2-(X-benzoyl)propionitriles, and 2-(X-phenyl)acetylacetonitriles was investigated.During methylation with methyl iodide and methyl p-toluenesulfonate in DMFA the ratio of the C- and O-methylation products for all the investigated compounds decreases with increase in the accepting power of the substituent X.It was shown that the sensitivity of the C-reaction center to the effect of the substituent X is greater than that of the O-center.
