, p. 8571 - 8576 (2017)
Transition-metal-catalyzed nitrene insertion into tertiary C?H bonds located at stereogenic carbons often results in mixtures of diastereomeric products, especially if the reaction proceeds through a concerted pathway. In this communication, we report a s

A chiral 2,2′-bipyridine ligand (1) bearing α,α′-trifluoromethyl-alcohols at 6,6′-positions was designed in five steps affording either the R,R or S,S enantiomer with excellent stereoselectivities, i.e. 97% de, >99% ee and >99.5% de, >99.5% ee, respectively. The key step for reaching high levels of stereoselectivity was demonstrated to be the resolution of the α-CF3-alcohol using (S)-ibuprofen as the resolving agent. An initial application for the 2,2′-bipyridine-α,α′-CF3-diol ligand was highlighted in the ZnII-catalyzed asymmetric ethylation reaction of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic aldehydes. Synergistic electron deficiency and steric hindrance properties of the newly developed ligand afforded the corresponding alcohols in good to excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee). As observed from single crystal diffraction analysis, the complexation of the 2,2′-bipyridine-α,α′-CF3-diol ligand generates an unusual hexacoordinated ZnII.
An Intramolecular Iodine-Catalyzed C(sp3)?H Oxidation as a Versatile Tool for the Synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans

The formation of ubiquitous occurring tetrahydrofuran patterns has been extensively investigated in the 1960s as it was one of the first examples of a non-directed remote C?H activation. These approaches suffer from the use of toxic transition metals in overstoichiometric amounts. An attractive metal-free solution for transforming carbon-hydrogen bonds into carbon-oxygen bonds lies in applying economically and ecologically favorable iodine reagents. The presented method involves an intertwined catalytic cycle of a radical chain reaction and an iodine(I/III) redox couple by selectively activating a remote C(sp3)?H bond under visible-light irradiation. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions, is operationally simple and tolerates many functional groups giving fast and easy access to different substituted tetrahydrofurans.
