Mixed metal bases as promoters of 1,4-eliminations

When treated with the LIDAKOR mixture, allyl type ethers very readily undergo 1,4-elimination to afford conjugated dienes (3 - 73). In typical cases, the reaction is brought about stereo- and regioselectively (2 and 7, respectively). Under suitable conditions, lithium dimethylamide or even lithium diisopropylamide adds to the dienes generated in situ thus leading to a variety of new allyl amines (5-8).
A homogeneous iron(II) system capable of selectively catalyzing the reduction of terminal alkynes to alkenes and buta-1,3-dienes

Terminal alkynes are selectively hydrogenated to alkenes by the iron(II) catalyst precursors [(PP3)FeH-(N2)]BPh4 and [(PP3)FeH(H2)]BPh4 in THF under very mild conditions [PP3 = P(CH2CH2PPh3)3]. The catalytic reductive dimerization of HC≡CSiMe3 to 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)butadiene prevails over alkene formation at reflux temperature.
