Linear Hydroaminoalkylation Products from Alkyl-Substituted Alkenes

The regioselective conversion of alkyl-substituted alkenes into linear hydroaminoalkylation products represents a strongly desirable synthetic transformation. In particular, such conversions of N-methylamine derivatives are of great scientific interest, because they would give direct access to important amines with unbranched alkyl chains. Herein, we present a new one-pot procedure that includes an initial alkene hydroaminoalkylation with an α-silylated amine substrate and a subsequent protodesilylation reaction that delivers linear hydroaminoalkylation products with high selectivity from simple alkyl-substituted alkenes. For that purpose, new titanium catalysts have been developed, which are able to activate the α-C?H bond of more challenging α-silylated amine substrates. In addition, a direct relationship between the ligand structure of the new catalysts and the obtained regioselectivity is described.

A highly effective (Triphenyl phosphite)palladium catalyst for a cross-coupling reaction of allylic alcohols with organoboronic acids

The cross coupling reaction of aryl and vinyl boronic acids and allylic alcohols proceeded smoothly in toluene or dioxane in the presence of a (triphenyl phosphite)palladium catalyst to give the corresponding allylbenzene derivatives and 1,4-dienes. Neither cocatalysts for promoting C-O bond cleavage of allylic alcohols nor bases for activation of organoboron reagents are required for promoting the coupling process. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
