Electrophiles such as dimethoxymethane and 3-penten-2-one react with the complex [Os(NH3)5-(η2-benzene)]2+ in the presence of triflic acid to form metastable benzenium intermediates. These benzenium intermediates further react with carbon nucleophiles including silyl ketene acetals, (silyloxy)alkenes, and phenyllithium in an overall tandem 1,4-addition sequence. The metal fragment controls the relative stereo- and regiochemistry for both electrophilic and nucleophilic addition steps. Upon oxidative demetalation with silver triflate, cis-1,4 cyclohexadienes are formed in yields ranging from 16 to 82%. This methodology can also be used to dearomatize toluene and ortho- and meta-xylene with unexpectedly high regio- and stereocontrol.

We report herein on the phosphine-catalyzed hydrovinylation reaction by three-component coupling of acyl fluorides, silyl enol ethers, and alkynoates. The key to the success of the reaction is the formal transmetalation between pentacoordinate P(V) species (i.e., fluorophosphorane) and a silyl enol ether, which allows for C-C bond formation between the polarity-mismatched sites. The bond formation that cannot be attained even by transition metal catalysis is accomplished by a P(III)/P(V) manifold.
Enantioselective N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Synthesis of Functionalized Indenes

An enantioselective NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) catalyzed synthesis of indenes from bifunctional α,β-unsaturated acyl fluorides and TMS enol ethers has been discovered. The reaction has broad generality (31 examples) and proceeds with high levels of enantioselectivity (most >92:8 er). Mechanistically the reaction likely occurs via a Michael/β-lactonization/decarboxylation sequence. Derivatization studies and limitations are discussed.
