Hydroformylation catalyzed by transition metals is one of the most important homogeneously catalyzed reactions in industrial organic chemistry. Millions of tons of aldehydes and related chemicals are produced by this transformation annually. However, most of the applied procedures use rhodium catalysts. In the procedure described here, a copper-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes has been realized. Remarkably, by using a different copper precursor, the aldehydes obtained can be further hydrogenated to give the corresponding alcohols under the same conditions, formally named as hydroxymethylation of alkenes. Under pressure of syngas, various aldehydes and alcohols can be produced from alkenes with copper as the only catalyst, in excellent regioselectivity. Additionally, an all-carbon quaternary center containing ethers and formates can be synthesized as well with the addition of unactivated alkyl halides. A possible reaction pathway is proposed based on our results. This journal is

The condensation reaction of resorcinol with pentanal yielded resorcin[4]arene 1 which on bromination using N-bromosuccinimide at room temperature produced tetra-bromide derivative 2. The reactions of 2 with chlorodiphenylphosphine and o-phenylenephosphoro-chloridite yielded octaphosphinite 3 (hereafter referred to as octaphos) and octaphosphite 4, respectively. The reactions of 3 with Ni(COD)2 or Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 in appropriate molar ratios yielded tetra-pincer complexes 5 and 6, respectively. The structures of both the complexes were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The resorcin[4]arene backbone adopts a boat structure in these complexes. Typically, the Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of styrene prevalently delivers a branched (b) chiral aldehyde. A unique resorcin[4]arene skeleton based octaphos 3 was employed in the Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of styrene. The hydroformylation of styrene with a metal to ligand ratio of 1:1 (M:L) was found to be regioselective, producing a linear (l) aldehyde as a major product with 100% conversion in 3 h. The l:b ratio surprisingly increased when the ortho positions of styrene were populated by methyl and chloro substituents. The hydroformylation of p-nitro styrene triggered a remarkably high linear:branched aldehyde ratio of 2.4 (71% linear aldehyde) despite its electron withdrawing nature. The highest linear selectivity of 97% (l:b ratio 27.8) was achieved in the case of 2,4,6-trimethylstyrene.

Heteroarylvinyl sulfone 1 has been successfully used as a new sulfonyl Michael acceptor in aminocatalytic reactions with branched aldehydes. Subsequent one-pot Julia-Kocienski olefination allows the challenging preparation of enantiomerically pure α-allylated aldehydes bearing C-α quaternary carbons.
