Cobalt-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Cleavage of Alkyl Aldehydes: Synthesis of Ketones, Esters, Amides, and α-Ketoamides

A widely applicable approach was developed to synthesize ketones, esters, amides via the oxidative C?C bond cleavage of readily available alkyl aldehydes. Green and abundant molecular oxygen (O2) was used as the oxidant, and base metals (cobalt and copper) were used as the catalysts. This strategy can be extended to the one-pot synthesis of ketones from primary alcohols and α-ketoamides from aldehydes.

Palladium-Catalyzed Allenamide Carbopalladation/Allylation with Active Methine Compounds

A palladium-catalyzed allenamide carbopalladation/allylation with active methine compounds has been developed. Various indoles and isoquinolinones bearing a quaternary carbon center were achieved with good efficiency, a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. This reaction underwent cascade oxidative addition, carbopalladation, and allylic alkylation, and two new C-C bonds were formed in one pot.

Highly Enantioselective Catalytic Kinetic Resolution of α-Branched Aldehydes through Formal Cycloaddition with Homophthalic Anhydrides

A new catalytic methodology was developed to promote an efficient one-pot kinetic resolution of racemic aldehydes with selectivity (s*) of up to 91 (99:1 d.r., >99 % ee) in a cycloaddition reaction with enolizable anhydrides to afford dihydroisocoumarin products (a core prevalent in natural products and molecules of medicinal interest) containing three contiguous stereocentres.

Nickel-Catalyzed Desymmetric Hydrogenation of Cyclohexadienones: An Efficient Approach to All-Carbon Quaternary Stereocenters

Nickel-catalyzed desymmetric hydrogenation has been achieved. With the Ni(OTf)2/(S,S)-Ph-BPE system, a series of ?,?-disubstituted cyclohexadienones were transformed to the corresponding cyclohexenones with a chiral all-carbon quaternary center at the γposition in high yields (92-98%) and excellent enantioselectivities (92%-99% ee). This catalytic system can also tolerate the desymmetric reaction of spirocarbocyclic cyclohexadienones to produce the corresponding cyclohexenones bearing a chiral spiro quaternary carbon with high yields (94%-98%) and ee values (96%-99% ee). Furthermore, this methodology provides an efficient and concise synthetic route to the intermediate of natural products cannabispirenones A and B.

Practical preparation of methyl vinyl ethers through the direct coupling of ketones with CHCl2OMe promoted by Mg/TiCl4/THF

Herein we utilized a new methylene carbenoid as an extremely simple and highly practical reagent for the preparation of vinyl ether with good to excellent yield. This method efficiently effects methoxymethylenation or vinyl ether formation of enolizable, nonenolizable, and sterically hindered ketones. The complexation of Ti–Mg–CHOMe was facilitated, presumably, by THF dramatically increasing the feasibility; and scope of this protocol is to produce vinyl ethers which can be used as convenient building blocks for the preparation of biologically useful molecules.

Copper-catalyzed vinylogous aerobic oxidation of unsaturated compounds with air

A mild and operationally simple copper-catalyzed vinylogous aerobic oxidation of β,γ- and α,β-unsaturated esters is described. This method features good yields, broad substrate scope, excellent chemo- and regioselectivity, and good functional group tolerance. This method is additionally capable of oxidizing β,γ- and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, amides, nitriles, and sulfones. Furthermore, the present catalytic system is suitable for bisvinylogous and trisvinylogous oxidation. Tetramethylguanidine (TMG) was found to be crucial in its role as a base, but we also speculate that it serves as a ligand to copper(II) triflate to produce the active copper(II) catalyst. Mechanistic experiments conducted suggest a plausible reaction pathway via an allylcopper(II) species. Finally, the breadth of scope and power of this methodology are demonstrated through its application to complex natural product substrates.

Asymmetric α-Allylation of Aldehydes with Alkynes by Integrating Chiral Hydridopalladium and Enamine Catalysis

A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric α-allylation of aldehydes with alkynes has been established by integrating the catalysis of enamine and chiral hydridopalladium complex that is reversibly formed from the oxidative addition of Pd(0) to chiral phosphoric acid. The ternary catalyst system, consisting of an achiral palladium complex, a primary amine, and a chiral phosphoric acid allows the reaction to tolerate a wide scope of α,α-disubstituted aldehydes and alkynes, affording the corresponding allylation products in high yields and with excellent levels of enantioselectivity.

Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of β-branched enamides for the synthesis of β-stereogenic amines

Using a rhodium complex of a bisphosphine ligand (R)-SDP, β-branched simple enamides with a (Z)-configuration were hydrogenated to β-stereogenic amines in quantitative yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (88-96% ee).

Asymmetric Synthesis of Remote Quaternary Centers by Copper-Catalyzed Desymmetrization: An Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (+)-Mesembrine

Catalytic asymmetric syntheses of remote quaternary stereocenters have been developed by copper-catalyzed 1,4-hydrosilylation of ?,?-disubstituted cyclohexadienones. A variety of cyclohexenones have been synthesized in good yield and excellent enantioselectivity. Versatile 2-silyloxy diene intermediates bearing ?,?-disubstituted all carbon stereogenic centers can be isolated from the mild reaction conditions. The utility of this strategy is exemplified in a catalytic asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-mesembrine.
