We report the first catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition of allyl groups to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The chemistry exploits the visible-light-excitation of chiral iminium ions to activate allyl silanes towards the formation of allylic radicals, which are then intercepted stereoselectively. The underlying radical mechanism of this process overcomes the poor regio- and chemoselectivity that traditionally affects the conjugate allylation of enals proceeding via polar pathways. We also demonstrate how this organocatalytic strategy could selectively install a valuable prenyl fragment at the β-carbon of enals.

An efficient method has been developed for the preparation of yet unknown acyclic mixed anhydrides of carboxylic and sulfinic acids. Sterically hindered 2-methylbut-3-ene-2-sulfinyl carboxylates add primary and secondary amines preferentially onto the carbonyl moieties realizing a new method for the one-pot preparation of carboxamides. It uses 1:1 mixtures of carboxylic acids and amines without a base, requires no excess of reagents, and liberates only volatile coproducts. Protected di- and tripeptides have been prepared in solution without epimerization by application of this method.

The solvolysis rates of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(trimethylsilyl)propyl and 3- (aryldimethylsilyl)-2,2-dimethylpropyl p-toluenesulfonates were measured in a wide variety of solvents at 45 °C. The solvent effects were analyzed by using the Winstein-Grunwald equation. The solvent effects observed did not give simple linear correlations with the 2-adamantyl Y(OTs) parameter, but showed dispersion behavior in a series of binary solvents. The m values of 0.59-.67 were remarkably lower than unity for the limiting k(c) solvolysis of 2-adamantyl p-toluenesulfonate. The deviation patterns could not be interpreted in terms of nucleophilic assistance by the solvent. The dispersion behavior with reduced m values was found to be more significant for the 3-(aryldimethylsilyl) than for the 3-(trimethylsilyl) derivatives and was compatible with the delocalization of the incipient cationic charge by participation of the Si-Cγ bond in the rate-determining step. An extended dual-parameter treatment, log (k/k(80E)) = m(c)Y(OTs) + m(Δ)Y(Δ), successfully correlated such γ-silyl assisted solvolyses. The M(Δ) values of 0.24-0.49 so obtained, where M(Δ) = 0.51 m(Δ)/(m(c) +0.51 m(Δ)), are a measure of the extent of charge delocalization, suggesting that the γ-silyl group in the percaudal interaction is more effective in delocalizing the cationic charge than the alkyl group in C-C σ-participation, but less so than σ-assisted interaction by the β-aryl group.
