(Chemical Equation Presented) Alkenes can be stereoselectively arylated and vinylated without transition-metal catalyst under mild conditions through an interesting NBS-promoted semipinacol rearrangement and a subsequent unusual NaOH-mediated Grob fragmentation.

, p. 5533 - 5536 (2015)
A novel catalytic nucleophilic addition of olefins to α,β-unsaturated-γ-lactams has been developed with a cyclic N-acyliminium ion as a key intermediate. It provides an efficient approach to 5-alkenyl-2-pyrrolidinones from simple and readily available starting materials and the desired products could be obtained in moderate to good yields (23-85%).
Absolute reactivity of the 4-methoxycumyl cation in non-acid zeolites

The reactivity of the 4-methoxycumyl cation in a series of alkali metal cation-exchanged zeolites (LiY, NaY, KY, RbY CsY, NaX, NaMor, and Naβ) in the absence and presence of coadsorbed alcohols and water is examined using nanosecond laser flash photolysis. In dry zeolites, the absolute reactivity of the carbocation is found to be strongly dependent on the nature of the alkali counterion, the Si/Al ratio, and the framework morphology, with the lifetime of the carbocation in Naβ being almost 10000-fold longer than in CsY. The results suggest a mechanism for carbocation decay involving direct participation of the zeolite framework as a nucleophile, leading to the generation of a framework-bound alkoxy species. Intrazeolite addition reactions of alcohols and water to the 4-methoxycumyl cation can be described in terms of both dynamic and static quenching involving molecular diffusion through the heterogeneous topology and rapid coupling between the alcohol and the carbocation encapsulated within the same cavity. The dynamics of the quenching reactions are different from similar reactions in homogeneous solution due to both the passive and active influences of the zeolite environment. In a passive sense, the zeolite decreases the reactivity of the nucleophilic quencher by hindering molecular diffusion. However, the zeolite actively promotes the efficiency of intracavity coupling by enhancing the deprotonation of the oxonium ion intermediate, allowing the reaction to go to completion.

A metal-free, mild and chemodivergent transformation involving nitroalkanes has been developed. Under optimized reaction conditions, in the presence of trichlorosilane and a tertiary amine, aliphatic nitroalkanes were selectively converted into amines or nitriles. Furthermore, when chiral β-substituted nitro compounds were reacted, the stereochemical integrity of the stereocenter was maintained and α-functionalized nitriles were obtained with no loss of enantiomeric excess. The methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of chiral β-cyano esters, α-aryl alkylnitriles, and TBS-protected cyanohydrins, including direct precursors of four active pharmaceutical ingredients (ibuprofen, tembamide, aegeline and denopamine).

Upon treatment with a Lewis base catalyst, β-alkyl-substituted nitroalkenes could be readily converted into allylic nitro compounds. Examples of either C-1 or C-3 functionalization methods have been reported through nitro-elimination, giving alkene products. In this work, successful 1,3-difunctionalization was achieved through a synergetic Lewis base catalysis and TBHP radical oxidation, giving vinylic alkoxyamines in good to excellent yields. This work further extended the general synthetic application of β-alkyl nitroalkenes.

A highly efficient formal allylation of dihydronaphthotriazoles with alkenes under rhodium(II) catalysis is reported. Various allyl dihydronaphthalene derivatives were furnished via rhodium(II) azavinyl carbenes with moderate to good yields and excellent chemoselectivity. When monosubstituted alkenes are used, cyclopropanation occurs and good to excellent enantioselectivities have been achieved. Particularly noteworthy is the allylic C(sp2)-H activation instead of traditional C(sp3)-H activation in the formal allylation process.

Hydroaminocarbonylation of alkenes is one of the most promising yet challenging methods for the synthesis of amides. Herein, we reported the development of a novel and effective Pd-catalyzed Markovnikov hydroaminocarbonylation of 1,1-disubstituted or 1,1,2-trisubstituted alkenes with aniline hydrochloride salts to afford amides bearing an α quaternary carbon. The reaction makes use of readily available starting materials, tolerates a wide range of functional groups, and provides a facile and straightforward approach to a diverse array of amides bearing an α quaternary carbon. Mechanistic investigations suggested that the reaction proceeded through a palladium hydride pathway. The hydropalladation and CO insertion are reversible, and the aminolysis is probably the rate-limiting step.

The transition-metal-catalyzed allylation reaction is an efficient strategy for the construction of new carbon-carbon bonds alongside allyl or homoallylic functionalization. Herein we describe a Ni-catalyzed reductive allylation of α-chloroboronates to efficiently render the corresponding homoallylic boronates, which could be readily converted into valuable homoallylic alcohols or amines or 1,4-diboronates. This reaction features a broad substrate scope with good functional group compatibility that is complementary to the existing methods for the preparation of homoallylic boronates.

An efficient photocatalytic alkylation/cyclization of allylic amide with N-hydroxyphthalimide ester has been developed. The transformation is taken advantage of alkyl radicals to attack allylic amide with the assist of inexpensive rose bengal as photocatalyst to prepare a series of alkyl substituted oxazolines in moderate to excellent yields. High regioselectivity, operational safety, mild conditions and excellent substrate generality give this protocol broad application prospects.

Herein, we report an unprecedented regiospecific oxidative Mizoroki-Heck type reaction for the synthesis of ɑ-difluoromethyl homoallylic alcohols. The reaction shows broad substrate scopes and high functional group tolerance. Late-stage functionalization of complex biologically active molecules demonstrates the synthetic potential of this transformation. Mechanistic study supports the involvement of MnBr2 catalyzed radical 1,2-silyl transfer.
