A catalytic, metal-free O-H bond insertion of α-diazoesters in water in the presence of B(C6F5)3·nH2O (2 mol %) was developed, affording a series of α-hydroxyesters in good to excellent yields. The reaction features easy operation and wide substrate scope, and importantly, no metal is needed as compared with the conventional methods. Significantly, this approach further expands the applications of B(C6F5)3 under water-tolerant conditions.

The palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of arylboronic acids with ethyl glyoxylate provides a straightforward method for the synthesis of mandelic esters. Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 in combination with 2-di-tert-butylphosphanylbiphenyl as the catalytic system and Cs 2CO3 as the base were used. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functionalized boronic acids. Mandelic esters were isolated in good-to-excellent yields with a variety of neutral, slightly electron-rich, and slightly electron-poor substituents. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.
Hydroacylation of activated ketones catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes

N-heterocyclic carbenes derived from triazolium salts are effective catalysts between 10 and 15 mol % for the hydroacylation of activated ketones. The reducing equivalent is generated via the interaction of a nucleophilic carbene species and an aromatic aldehyde. The subsequent alcohol product can undergo an acylation event with the resulting acyl heteroazolium intermediate formed in situ between the NHC and the aldehyde. This unprecedented multiple bond-forming reaction can accommodate aromatic aldehydes as the hydride source and various electron-deficient ketones. Preliminary mechanistic evidence indicates that the reduction and acylation steps are sequential operations. The intramolecular variant of this organocatalytic reaction affords benzofuranones in good yield. Copyright
Mechanism and scope of salen bifunctional catalysts in asymmetric aldehyde and α-ketoester alkylation

Metal complexes of C2-symmetric Lewis acid/Lewis base salen ligands provide bifunctional activation resulting in rapid rates in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes (up to 92% ee). Further experiments probed the reactivity of the individual Lewis acid and Lewis base components of the catalyst and established that both moieties are essential for asymmetric catalysis. These catalysts are also effective in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to α-ketoesters. This finding is significant because α-ketoesters alone serve as their own ligands to accelerate racemic 1,2-carbonyl addition of Et2Zn and racemic carbonyl reduction. The latter proceeds via a metalloene pathway, and often accounts for the predominant product. Singular Lewis acid catalysts do not accelerate enantioselective 1,2-addition over these two competing paths. The bifunctional amino salen catalysts, however, rapidly provide enantioenriched 1,2-addition products in excellent yield, complete chemoselectivity, and good enantioselectivity (up to 88% ee). A library of the bifunctional amino salens was synthesized and evaluated in this reaction. The utility of the α-ketoester method has been demonstrated in the synthesis of an opiate antagonist.
Development of bifunctional salen catalysts: Rapid, chemoselective alkylations of α-ketoesters

Lewis acid-Lewis base salen complexes have been identified as highly efficient catalysts for the addition of dialkylzincs to α-ketoesters. In contrast to aldehydes or ketones, the reaction between diethylzinc and α-ketoesters is significant in the absence of catalyst. In the presence of catalyst, the reaction rate is increased over 100-fold relative to the background. Furthermore, the reduction product, which is a major coproduct with other catalysts, is not observed with these bifunctional salens. As a result, high yields of the addition products can be obtained (57-99%). Both the Lewis acid and Lewis base portions of the catalyst are critical to the reactivity and selectivity. The two separate portions of the catalyst have been shown to function in a cooperative manner. Copyright
