The electronic effects of tetranuclear zinc cluster catalysts on transesterification were investigated by changing the carboxylate ligands in the clusters. High catalyst activity crucially depended on the balance between Lewis acidity and Br?nsted basicity of the catalyst; this was consistent with the dual activation of both the electrophile and nucleophile by the cooperative zinc centers. In addition, tetranuclear zinc cluster catalysts achieved the transesterification of β-keto esters with unprecedented levels of broad substrate generality, in which a newly developed pentafluoropropionate-bridged zinc cluster and 4-dimethylaminopyridine additive greatly improved the reactivity of sterically congested α- and α,α-disubstituted β-keto esters. Lewis versus Br?nsted: High catalyst activity of zinc clusters on transesterification crucially depend on a balance between Lewis acidity and Br?nsted basicity of the catalyst. Zinc clusters, including a newly developed pentafluoropropionate-bridged zinc cluster, achieved the transesterification of β-keto esters with unprecedented levels of broad substrate generality (see figure).

α,α-Difluoroketones possess unique physicochemical properties that are useful for developing therapeutics and probes for chemical biology. To access the α-allyl-α,α-difluoroketone substructure, complementary palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation reactions were developed to provide linear and branched α-allyl-α,α-difluoroketones. For these orthogonal processes, the fluorination pattern of the substrate enabled the ligands to dictate the regioselectivity of the transformations.
Lewis acid/CpRu dual catalysis in the enantioselective decarboxylative allylation of ketone enolates
Linder, David,Austeri, Martina,Lacour, Jerome

The addition of a Lewis acidic metal triflate salt Mg(OTf)2 as co-catalyst in the CpRu-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation of in situ-generated ketone enolates allows the reaction to proceed at lower temperature with higher regio- and enantios
