A highly efficient method for kinetic resolution of racemic aliphatic alcohols without conversion of the hydroxyl group has been realized; the method involves hydrogenation mediated by a remote ester group and is catalyzed by a chiral iridium complex. This powerful, environmentally friendly method provides chiral δ-alkyl-δ-hydroxy esters and δ-alkyl-1,5-diols in good yields with high enantioselectivities even at extremely low catalyst loading (0.001 mol %).
Highly reactive forms of zinc and reagents thereof

, (2008/06/13)
A novel zerovalent zinc species and an organozinc reagent are disclosed. The zerovalent zinc species is directly produced by reaction of a reducing agent on a zinc salt, preferably Zn(CN)2. The organozinc reagent results from the reaction of the zerovalent zinc species and an organic compound having one or more stable anionic leaving groups. These organozinc reagents include a wide spectrum of functional groups in the organic radical, and are useful in a variety of reactions schemes.
The Direct Formation of Functionalized Alkyl(aryl)zinc Halides by Oxidative Addition of Highly Reactive Zinc with Organic Halides and Their Reactions with Acid Chlorides, α,β-Unsaturated Ketones, and Allylic, Aryl, and Vinyl Halides

Highly reactive zinc, prepared by the lithium naphthalenide reduction of ZnCl2, readily undergoes oxidative addition to alkyl, aryl, and vinyl halides under mild conditions to generate the corresponding organozinc compounds in excellent yields.Significantly, the reaction will tolerate a spectrum of functional groups on the organic halides.Accordingly, this approach can now be used to prepare a wide variety of highly functionalized organozinc compounds.In the presence of Cu(I) salts, the organozinc compounds cross-couple with acid chlorides, conjugatively add to α,β-unsaturated ketones, and regioselectively undergo SN2' substitution reactions with allylic halides.They also cross-couple with aryl or vinyl halides with Pd(0) catalysts.
