A simple, efficient and eco-friendly method for the vicinal dihalogenation of alkenes is described. The reaction is performed with a combination of a N-halosuccinimide and an alkali metal halide using environmentally benign solvents such as acetic acid an
Asymmetric Nazarov Cyclizations of Unactivated Dienones by Hydrogen-Bond-Donor/Lewis Acid Co–Catalyzed, Enantioselective Proton-Transfer

We report an enantioselective Nazarov cyclization catalyzed by chiral hydrogen-bond-donors in concert with silyl Lewis acids. The developed transformation provides access to tri-substituted cyclopentenones in high levels of enantioselectivity (up to 95% e.e.) from a variety of simple unactivated dienones. Kinetic and mechanistic studies are consistent with a reversible 4π-electrocyclization C?C bond-forming step followed by rate- and enantio-determining proton-transfer as the mode of catalysis.

A bimetallic palladium(II) catalyzed synthesis of 1,2-dibromo compounds

A bimetallic palladium(II) catalyst containing a triketone ligand and a bridging dinitrogen ligand oxidizes aromatic and cyclic aliphatic olefins in bromide-containing aqueous-THF to 1,2-dibromo compounds and bromohydrins. With aromatic olefins, the 1,2-dibromo products were obtained in a 70-80% yield and the bromohydrins in a 10-15% yield; this observation is opposition to that obtained in chloride containing medium where the chlorohydrin product predominates. The oxidation of 2,3-dihydrofuran gave trans-2,3- dibromotetrahydrofuran, 3-oxotetrahydrofuran, and 3-bromo-2- hydroxytetrahydrofuran in relative yields of 75%, 15%, and 10%, respectively. On the other hand, the oxidation of cyclopentene and cyclohexene affords only trans-1,2-dibromo products in about 90% yield. The stereochemistry is consistent with an anti-at-tack of bromide followed by decomposition involving attack of bromide from the coordination sphere of the Pd(II). The procedure outlined here is a convenient method for the one step synthesis of 1,2-dibromides.
