, p. 2050 - 2053 (2016)
Cp2TiCl2-catalyzed regioselective hydrocarboxylation of alkenes with CO2 to give carboxylic acids in high yields has been developed in the presence of iPrMgCl. The reaction proceeds with a wide range of alkenes under mild conditions. Styrene and its derivatives can transform to α-aryl carboxylic acids, and aliphatic alkenes can transform to form alkanoic acids.

The merger of photoredox catalysis with asymmetric copper catalysis have been realized to convert achiral carboxylic acids into enantiomerically enriched alkyl nitriles. Under mild reaction conditions, the reaction exhibits broad substrate scope, high yields and high enantioselectivities. Furthermore, the reaction can be scaled up to synthesize key chiral intermediates to bioactive compounds.

The iron-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of aryl alkenes has been developed using a highly active bench-stable iron(II) precatalyst to give α-aryl carboxylic acids in excellent yields and with near-perfect regioselectivity. Using just 1 mol % FeCl2, bis(imino)pyridine 6 (1 mol %), CO 2 (atmospheric pressure), and a hydride source (EtMgBr, 1.2 equiv), a range of sterically and electronically differentiated aryl alkenes were transformed to the corresponding α-aryl carboxylic acids (up to 96% isolated yield). The catalyst was found to be equally active with a loading of 0.1 mol %. Preliminary mechanistic investigations show that an iron-catalyzed hydrometalation is followed by transmetalation and reaction with the electrophile (CO2).

The Ag+ induced aromatic substitution reactions of 3-(1-bromomethyl)-5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-dioxazine derivatives via an α-acyl cation equivalent are described.
Ester Enolates from α-Acetoxy Esters. Synthesis of Aryl Malonic and α-Aryl Alkanoic Esters from Aryl Nucleophiles and α-Keto Esters

Ester enolates are generated by reductive α-deacetoxylation of α-acetoxy-α-arylmalonic esters or α-acetoxy-α-arylalkanoic esters with lithium in liquid ammonia or sodium α-(dimethylamino)naphthalenide in hexamethylphosphoramide-benzene.Since the requisite α-acetoxy esters are available from aryl nucleophiles, the reductions provide effective new synthetic routes to arylmalonic esters and α-arylalkanoic esters.For example, 2-(p-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid (ibuprofen, a commercially important nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent) is obtained in 73percent yield overall from isobutylbenzene.Arenes, aryllithiums, or arylmagnesium halides react with α-keto esters, e.g., diethyl oxomalonate, ethyl pyruvate, methyl phenylglyoxalate, or alkyl glyoxylates, to afford α-hydroxy esters.These are acetylated with acetic anhydride-triethylamine and p-(dimethylamino)pyridine as a catalyst.Reductive α-deoxygenation then allows replacement of the acetoxy group by hydrogen or an alkyl group.
