Pauson-Khand reactions (PKR) with concomitant C?O bond cleavage have been developed for construction of 5,5- 5,6- and 5,7-bicyclic ring systems bearing complex stereochemistry. The chemistry generates intermolecular PKR-type products in an absolute regio- and stereochemical control which is hardly achievable through real intermolecular Pauson-Khand reactions. A mechanism for this Pauson-Khand reaction has been proposed based on deuterium labelling experiments. (Figure presented.).

Selectivity between 1,2 and 1,4 addition of a nucleophile to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound has classically been modified by the addition of stoichiometric additives to the substrate or reagent to increase their “hard” or “soft” character. Here, we demonstrate a conceptually distinct approach that instead relies on controlling the coordination sphere of a catalyst with visible light. In this way, we bias the reaction down two divergent pathways, giving contrasting products in the catalytic hydroboration of α,β-unsaturated ketones. This includes direct access to previously elusive cyclic enolborates, via 1,4-selective hydroboration, providing a straightforward and stereoselective route to rare syn-aldol products in one-pot. DFT calculations and mechanistic experiments confirm two different mechanisms are operative, underpinning this unusual photocontrolled selectivity switch.

Herein we report the synthesis and application of a versatile class of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands based on an imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-ylidine backbone that is fused to a chiral oxazoline auxiliary. The key step in the synthesis of these ligands involves the installation of the oxazoline functionality via a microwave-assisted condensation of a cyano-azolium salt with a wide variety of 2-amino alcohols. The resulting chiral bidentate NHC-oxazoline ligands form stable complexes with rhodium(I) that are efficient catalysts for the enantioselective hydrosilylation of structurally diverse ketones. The corresponding secondary alcohols are isolated in good yields (typically >90%) with good to excellent enantioselectivities (80-93% ee). The reported hydrosilylation occurs at ambient temperatures (40 °C), with excellent functional group tolerability. Even ketones bearing heterocyclic substituents (e.g., pyridine or thiophene) or complex organic architectures are hydrosilylated efficiently, which is discussed further in this report.

The chemoselective reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones by use of an economic and readily available Mg catalyst has been developed. Excellent yields for a wide range of ketones have been achieved under mild reaction conditions, short times, and low catalyst loadings (0.2-0.5 mol %).

Chiral carveol and dihydrocarveol are important additives in the flavor industry and building blocks in the synthesis of natural products. Despite the remarkable progress in asymmetric catalysis, convenient access to all possible stereoisomers of carveol and dihydrocarveol remains a challenge. Here, we present the stereodivergent synthesis of carveol and dihydrocarveol through ketoreductases/ene-reductases catalyzed asymmetric reduction. By directly asymmetric reduction of (R)- and (S)-carvone using ketoreductases, which have Prelog or anti-Prelog stereopreference, all four possible stereoisomers of carveol with medium to high diastereomeric excesses (up to >99 %) were first observed. Then four stereoisomers of dihydrocarvone were prepared through ene-reductases catalyzed diastereoselective synthesis. Asymmetric reduction of obtained dihydrocarvone isomers by ketoreductases further provide access to all eight stereoisomeric dihydrocarveol with up to 95 % de values. In addition, the absolute configurations of dihydrocarveol stereoisomers were determined by using modified Mosher's method.

We report herein a photoinduced carboborative ring contraction of monounsaturated six-membered carbocycles and heterocycles. The reaction produces substituted five-membered ring systems stereoselectively and on preparative scales. The products feature multiple stereocenters, including contiguous quaternary carbons. We show that the reaction can serve as a synthetic platform for ring system alteration of natural products. The reaction can also be used in natural product synthesis. A concise total synthesis of artalbic acid has been enabled by a sequence of photoinduced carboborative ring contraction, Rauhut-Currier reaction, and nitrilase-catalyzed hydrolysis. The synthetic utility of the reaction has been further demonstrated by converting the intermediate organoboranes to alcohols, amines, and alkenes.

, p. 80 - 83 (2017/01/17)
The first efficient and general rhenium-catalyzed hydrogenation of carbonyl derivatives was developed. The key to the success of the reaction was the use of a well-defined rhenium complex bearing a tridentate diphosphinoamino ligand as the catalyst (0.5 mol %) at 70 °C in the presence of H2 (30 bar). The mechanism of the reaction was investigated by DFT(PBE0-D3) calculations.

A large series of novel chiral imidazolium ionic liquids were synthesized using the terpenoid carvone as the chiral substrate. Their specific rotations were characterized and their potential use in chiral recognition was demonstrated by studying interactions with racemic Mosher's acid salt.

A CuCl2-promoted alkene aminochlorination reaction has been developed. A variety of anilides that contain a mono-, di-, or trisubstituted alkenyl moiety readily participated in this reaction to afford structurally diverse vicinal chloroamines. Studies suggest that the process proceeds by a radical-type mechanism and that CuCl2serves as both the oxidant to generate the amidyl radical as well as the chloride source.

Page/Page column 57; 58, (2015/11/10)
The invention relates to a method for producing functionalised monomers, the method comprising: a) providing a starting material selected from terpenes and terpenoids; b) forming a derivative of the starting material by incorporation of a hydroxyl group; c) esterifying the hydroxyl group of the derivative to introduce a moiety containing a vinyl group, so as to produce a functionalised monomer. The functionalised monomer can be polymerised to obtain a bio-derived polymer.
