A Ni-catalyzed reductive carboxylation of N-substituted aziridines with CO2 at atmospheric pressure is disclosed. The protocol is characterized by its mild conditions, experimental ease, and exquisite chemo- and regioselectivity pattern, thus unlocking a new catalytic blueprint to access β-amino acids, important building blocks with considerable potential as peptidomimetics.

The enantioselective amination of C(sp3)-H bonds is a powerful synthetic transformation yet highly challenging to achieve in an intermolecular sense. We have developed a family of anionic variants of the best-in-class catalyst for Rh-catalyzed C-H amination, Rh2(esp)2, with which we have associated chiral cations derived from quaternized cinchona alkaloids. These ion-paired catalysts enable high levels of enantioselectivity to be achieved in the benzylic C-H amination of substrates bearing pendant hydroxyl groups. Additionally, the quinoline of the chiral cation appears to engage in axial ligation to the rhodium complex, providing improved yields of product versus Rh2(esp)2 and highlighting the dual role that the cation is playing. These results underline the potential of using chiral cations to control enantioselectivity in challenging transition-metal-catalyzed transformations.

Although the olefin metathesis reaction is a well-known and powerful strategy to get alkenes, this reaction remained highly challenging with fluororalkenes, especially the Cross-Metathesis (CM) process. Our thought was to find an easy accessible, convenient, reactive and post-functionalizable source of fluoroalkene, that we found as the methyl 2-fluoroacrylate. We reported herein the efficient ruthenium-catalyzed CM reaction of various terminal and internal alkenes with methyl 2-fluoroacrylate giving access, for the first time, to trisubstituted fluoroalkenes stereoselectively. Unprecedent TON for CM involving fluoroalkene, up to 175, have been obtained and the reaction proved to be tolerant and effective with a large range of olefin partners giving fair to high yields in metathesis products.

We report herein that thermodynamic and kinetic isomerization of alkenes can be accomplished by the combination of visible light with Co catalysis. Utilizing Xantphos as the ligand, the most stable isomers are obtained, while isomerizing terminal alkenes over one position can be selectively controlled by using DPEphos as the ligand. The presence of the donor–acceptor dye 4CzIPN accelerates the reaction further. Transformation of exocyclic alkenes into the corresponding endocyclic products could be efficiently realized by using 4CzIPN and Co(acac)2 in the absence of any additional ligands. Spectroscopic and spectroelectrochemical investigations indicate CoI being involved in the generation of a Co hydride, which subsequently adds to alkenes initiating the isomerization.

Palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of nonstabilized carbon nucleophiles is difficult and remains a major challenge. Reported here is a highly chemo- and regioselective direct palladium-catalyzed C-allylation of hydrazones, generated from carbonyls, as a source of umpolung unstabilized alkyl carbanions and surrogates of alkyl organometallic reagents. Contrary to classical allylation techniques, this umpolung reaction utilizes hydrazones prepared not only from aryl aldehydes but also from alkyl aldehydes and ketones as renewable feedstocks. This strategy complements the palladium-catalyzed coupling of unstabilized nucleophiles with allylic electrophiles by providing an efficient and selective catalytic alternative to the traditional use of highly reactive alkyl organometallic reagents.

A new route for the direct cross-coupling of alkyl and allylic halides using electrochemical technique has been developed in aqueous media under air. Catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2, the Zn-mediated allylic alkylations proceed smoothly between a full range of alkyl halides (primary, secondary, and tertiary) and substituted allylic halides. Protection-deprotection of acidic hydrogen in the substrates is avoided.

A novel and practical reaction for the direct intramolecular oxidative coupling of butenylated arenes is reported. With the catalysis of Pd(OAc)2, reactions of various butenylated arenes and carboxylic acids with Selectfluor reagent in CH3CN solution afforded the corresponding monocarboxylation/cyclization products in good yields under mild conditions. This research demonstrated an economic method with the synthesis of 2-tetralyl carboxylic esters, a valuable class of bioactive compounds.

The highly chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective synthesis of alkyl- and vinyl boronic esters with good functional group tolerance has been developed using in situ activation of a bench-stable iron(ii) pre-catalyst and pinacolborane (16 examples, 45-95% yield, TOF up to 30000 mol h-1). The first iron-catalysed alkene hydrogermylation is also reported.

The utility of allylsamarium bromide, both as a nucleophilic reagent and a single-electron transfer reagent, in the reaction of carbonyl compounds with allylsamarium bromide in the presence of diethyl phosphate is reported in this communication. From a synthetic point of view, a simple one-pot method for the preparation of terminal olefins is developed.

Allylindium reagents undergo facile and highly regioselective cross-coupling with benzylic and cinnamyl bromides in THF at room temperature without any catalyst producing terminal alkenes in high yields. The addition is highly regioselective and is found to provide γ-adducts in all reactions.
