We report a dehydroboration process that can be coupled with chain-walking hydroboration to create a one-pot, contra-thermodynamic, short-or long-range isomerization of internal olefins to terminal olefins. This dehydroboration occurs by a sequence comprising activation with a nucleophile, iodination, and base-promoted elimination. The isomerization proceeds at room temperature without the need for a fluoride base, and the substrate scope of this isomerization is expanded over those of previous isomerizations we have reported with silanes.

Polymer-supported PdCu alloy nanoparticles with a palladium to copper atom ratio of 1 have been synthesized upon: (i) Coordination of palladium/copper acetate to 2,2’-bipyridine-end functionalized poly(lactic acid) (PLA); (ii) Stereocomplexation of PLA-based macrocomplexes of opposite stereochemistry, and (iii) metal reduction with hydrogen. The obtained supported PdCu nanoparticles were successfully applied in the semi-hydrogenation of industrially important alkynols, such as 3-hexyn-1-ol and 2-butyne-1,4-diol leading to the corresponding cis-alkenol in high selectivity (98 %) under mild reaction conditions (i. e. ethanol, T (25 °C), p(H2)=3 bar) in the absence of any further additive. From a comparison of the catalytic performance of supported PdCu nanoparticles with those of Pd and Cu, located in the same chemical environment, emerged a clear alloy effect (i. e. high chemoselectivity for the alkene at high alkyne conversion). Recycling experiments conducted with the PdCu-based catalyst proved the stability of the catalyst with time, even by its recovering in air atmosphere.

Herein, we present (Z)-selective transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes based on in situ generated CuNPs in the presence of hydrogen donors, such as ammonia-borane and a green protic solvent. This environmentally friendly method is characterized by operational simplicity combined with high stereo- and chemoselectivity and functional group compatibility. Auto-oxidation of CuNPs after the completion of a semihydrogenation reaction results in the formation of a water-soluble ammonia complex, so that the catalyst may be reused several times by simple phase-separation with no need for any special regeneration processes. Formed NH4B(OR)4 can be easily transformed back into ammonia-borane or into boric acid. In addition, a one-pot tandem sequence involving a Suzuki reaction followed by semihydrogenation was presented, which allows minimization of chemical waste production.

Desulfurization of a variety of thiiranes to alkenes occurs chemoselectively in high yields upon treatment with MoCl5/Zn system under mild conditions. The new methodology demonstrates high functional group tolerance toward chloro, bromo, fluoro, methoxy, ester, ether and keto groups.

We report here a mechanistically distinct tactic to carry E2-type eliminations on alkyl halides. This strategy exploits the interplay of α-aminoalkyl radical-mediated halogen-atom transfer (XAT) with desaturative cobalt catalysis. The methodology is high-yielding, tolerates many functionalities, and was used to access industrially relevant materials. In contrast to thermal E2 eliminations where unsymmetrical substrates give regioisomeric mixtures, this approach enables, by fine-tuning of the electronic and steric properties of the cobalt catalyst, to obtain high olefin positional selectivity. This unprecedented mechanistic feature has allowed access tocontra-thermodynamic olefins, elusive by E2 eliminations.
Norrish type II reactions of acyl azolium salts
Hopkinson, Matthew N.,Mavroskoufis, Andreas,Rieck, Arielle
, (2021/10/25)
The photochemical reactivity of acyl azolium salts derived from aliphatic carboxylic acids has been investigated. These species, which serve as models for intermediates generated in N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis, undergo Norrish type II elimination reactions under irradiation with UVA light in analogy to structurally related aromatic ketones. Moreover, efficient Norrish-Yang cyclization was observed from an adamantyl-substituted derivative. These results further demonstrate the ability of NHCs to influence the absorption properties and photochemical reactivity of carbonyl groups during a catalytic cycle.

Dehydrohalogenation, or elimination of hydrogen-halide equivalents, remains one of the simplest methods for the installation of the biologically-important olefin functionality. However, this transformation often requires harsh, strongly-basic conditions, rare noble metals, or both, limiting its applicability in the synthesis of complex molecules. Nature has pursued a complementary approach in the novel vitamin B12-dependent photoreceptor CarH, where photolysis of a cobalt-carbon bond leads to selective olefin formation under mild, physiologically-relevant conditions. Herein we report a light-driven B12-based catalytic system that leverages this reactivity to convert alkyl electrophiles to olefins under incredibly mild conditions using only earth abundant elements. Further, this process exhibits a high level of regioselectivity, producing terminal olefins in moderate to excellent yield and exceptional selectivity. Finally, we are able to access a hitherto-unknown transformation, remote elimination, using two cobalt catalysts in tandem to produce subterminal olefins with excellent regioselectivity. Together, we show vitamin B12to be a powerful platform for developing mild olefin-forming reactions.

Paragraph 0191-0202; 0234-0237, (2020/09/22)
The present invention relates to a method for preparing alpha-olefins from biomass-derived fats and oils. According to the preparation method, all of the various saturated or unsaturated fatty acids in the biomass-derived fats and oils can be prepared into alpha-olefins, and a conventional problem that the saturated fatty acids do not participate in a reaction or a mixture is generated due to polyunsaturated fatty acids can be solved. Thus, the present invention can be advantageously used to prepare alpha-olefins from biomass.

Here, we reported for the first time a mechanistically distinctive cobalt-catalyzed Markovnikov-type sequential semihydrogenation/hydrohydrazidation of aliphatic terminal alkynes in one pot. A cobalt hydride species was employed as two roles for both a unique metal-catalyzed Markovnikov-type insertion of the aliphatic terminal alkynes and then metal-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer of alkenes. This operationally simple protocol exhibits excellent functional group tolerance and step economy. The hydrazone products could be easily transferred to various valuable amine derivatives.
Selective Transfer Semihydrogenation of Alkynes with H2O (D2O) as the H (D) Source over a Pd-P Cathode

We reported a selective semihydrogenation (deuteration) of numerous terminal and internal alkynes using H2O (D2O) as the H (D) source over a Pd-P alloy cathode at a lower potential. P-doping caused the enhanced specific adsorption of alkynes and the promoted intrinsic activity for producing adsorbed atomic hydrogen (H*ads) from water electrolysis. The semihydrogenation of alkynes could be accomplished at a lower potential with up to 99 % selectivity and 78 % Faraday efficiency of alkene products, outperforming pure Pd and commercial Pd/C. This electrochemical semihydrogenation of alkynes might proceed via a H*ads addition pathway rather than a proton-coupled electron transfer process. The decreased amount of H*ads at a lower potential and the more preferential adsorption of the Pd-P to C≡C π bond than C=C moiety resulted in the excellent alkene selectivity. This method was capable of producing mono-, di-, and tri-deuterated alkenes with up to 99 % deuterium incorporation.
