Chiral sulfones are important structural motifs in organic synthesis because of their widespread use in pharmaceutical chemistry. In particular, chiral allylic sulfones have drawn particular interest because of their synthetic utility. However, enantioselective synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted unsymmetrical chiral allylic sulfones remains a challenge. In this article, we report a protocol for (R)-DTBM-Segphos/Pd-catalyzed regio- A nd enantioselective hydrosulfonylation of 1,3-dienes with sulfinic acids, which provides atom- A nd step-economical access to 1,3-disubstituted chiral allylic sulfones. The reaction occurs under mild conditions and has a broad substrate scope. Combined experimental and computational studies suggest that the reaction is initiated by a ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer followed by a C-S bond reductive elimination via a six-membered transition state. Steric repulsion between the olefinic C-H of the substrate and the tert-butyl group of (R)-DTBM-Segphos was found to be a key factor in the enantiocontrol.

The Pd(0)-catalyzed allylic cross-coupling of homoallylic tosylate substrates using boronic acids and pinacol esters is reported. The reaction uses 2-(4,5-dihydro-2-oxazolyl)quinoline (quinox) as a ligand and is performed at ambient temperature. The scope of the reaction is broad in terms of both the boronate transmetalating reagent and the substrate and includes secondary tosylates. Mechanistic studies support an alkene-mediated SN2-type stereoinvertive oxidative addition of unactivated primary and secondary alkyl tosylates.
Nickel-catalyzed allylic substitution of simple alkenes
Matsubara, Ryosuke,Jamison, Timothy F.
experimental part, p. 1860 - 1875 (2012/02/02)
This report describes a nickel-catalyzed allylic substitution process of simple alkenes whereby an important structural motif, a 1,4-diene, was prepared. The key to success is the use of an appropriate nickel-phosphine complex and a stoichiometric amount of silyl triflate. Reactions of 1-alkyl-substituted alkenes consistently provided 1,1-disubstituted alkenes with high selectivity. Insight into the reaction mechanism as well as miscellaneous application of the developed catalytic process is also documented.
