The positional isomerization of C═C double bonds is a powerful strategy for the interconversion of alkene regioisomers. However, existing methods provide access to thermodynamically more stable isomers from less stable starting materials. Here, we report

Zhao, Kuo,Knowles, Robert R.
supporting information, p. 137 - 144 (2022/01/19)
A light-driven method for the contra-thermodynamic positional isomerization of olefins is described. In this work, stepwise PCET activation of a more substituted and more thermodynamically stable olefin substrate is mediated by an excited-state oxidant an
Nickel-catalyzed reductive deoxygenation of diverse C-O bond-bearing functional groups

We report a catalytic method for the direct deoxygenation of various C-O bond-containing functional groups. Using a Ni(II) pre-catalyst and silane reducing agent, alcohols, epoxides, and ethers are reduced to the corresponding alkane. Unsaturated species including aldehydes and ketones are also deoxygenated via initial formation of an intermediate silylated alcohol. The reaction is chemoselective for C(sp3)-O bonds, leaving amines, anilines, aryl ethers, alkenes, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles untouched. Applications toward catalytic deuteration, benzyl ether deprotection, and the valorization of biomass-derived feedstocks demonstrate some of the practical aspects of this methodology.

The construction of a C-C bond is a center subject in synthetic organic chemistry. The cross-electrophile coupling has provided a powerful tool to forge the C-C bond. However, this process generally requires organic halides, which has severely restricted

Reactions of methylaluminum reagents with ester-based lubricating oils are mimicked through the reaction of trimethylaluminum (TMA) with tetraesters C(CH2OC(O)R)4 (R = C5H11 4Pent, Bn 4Bn). Using a 2:1 stoichiometry gave adduct 4Pent(TMA)4. NMR spectroscopy on 1:1-12:1 TMA/4Pent systems suggested 4Pent gave dimethylated adduct C5H11CMe2OAlMe2(TMA), 2Pent(TMA). Similar combination of TMA with 4Bn at raised temperatures transformed 4Bn into C(CH2OAlMe2)4(2Bn)4 5(2Bn)4 by sequential reaction of each ester group. Doubly reacted {BnC(O)OCH2}2C(CH2OAlMe2)2(2Bn)2 7Bn(2Bn)2 was isolated and characterized. A Mitsubishi molecule could also be isolated, its formation rationalized by the elimination of 2Bn and TMA from 5(2Bn)4. The action of MenAlCl3-n (n = 1, 1.5, 2) was studied initially on monoester BnC(O)OMe 1Bn. Combining excess Me2AlCl with 1Bn gave adduct 1Bn(Me2AlCl) and small amounts of dimethylated BnCMe2OAlMe2(Me2AlCl), 2Bn(Me2AlCl), and MeOAlCl2 10. 2Bn(Me2AlCl) was fully characterized and, in the presence of 10, acted as a source of 2Bn(MeAlCl2). From this species, a mixture of alkenes could be generated by formal elimination of Me3Al2(OH)Cl2 13, the decomposition of which was presumed to also explain MeH observation. Replacing Me2AlCl with aluminum sesquichloride or MeAlCl2 led to progressively more sluggish but similar reactions. Using MenAlCl3-n (n = 1, 1.5, 2) with tetraesters suggested similar reactivity to monoesters.
Synthesis of Functionalized α-Vinyl Aldehydes from Enaminones

supporting information, p. 12674 - 12679 (2019/08/07)
An efficient RhII-catalyzed synthesis of functionalized α-vinyl aldehydes with high E/Z stereoselectivity was developed. The reaction mediates the cyclopropanation of enaminones with vinyl carbenoids that are generated from cyclopropenes in situ to give the aminocyclopropane intermediates. Selective C?C bond cleavage of the cyclopropane intermediates leads to formation of α-vinyl aldehyde derivatives with high E/Z selectivity. This method proceeds at room temperature under very mild reaction conditions and works with a broad substrate scope.
Copper-Catalyzed Enantio- and Diastereoselective Addition of Silicon Nucleophiles to 3,3-Disubstituted Cyclopropenes
Zhang, Liangliang,Oestreich, Martin
supporting information, p. 14304 - 14307 (2019/11/13)
A highly stereocontrolled syn-addition of silicon nucleophiles across cyclopropenes with two different geminal substituents at C3 is reported. Diastereomeric ratios are excellent throughout (d.r.≥98:2) and enantiomeric excesses usually higher than 90 %, even reaching 99 %. This copper-catalyzed C?Si bond formation closes the gap of the direct synthesis of α-chiral cyclopropylsilanes.
Nucleophilic Substitutions of Alcohols in High Levels of Catalytic Efficiency
Stach, Tanja,Dr?ger, Julia,Huy, Peter H.
supporting information, p. 2980 - 2983 (2018/05/28)
A practical method for the nucleophilic substitution (SN) of alcohols furnishing alkyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides under stereochemical inversion in high catalytic efficacy is introduced. The fusion of diethylcyclopropenone as a simple Lewis base organocatalyst and benzoyl chloride as a reagent allows notable turnover numbers up to 100. Moreover, the use of plain acetyl chloride as a stoichiometric promotor in an invertive SN-type transformation is demonstrated for the first time. The operationally straightforward protocol exhibits high levels of stereoselectivity and scalability and tolerates a variety of functional groups.

Photocatalytic Transfer Hydrogenolysis of Allylic Alcohols on Pd/TiO2: A Shortcut to (S)-(+)-Lavandulol
Takada, Yuki,Caner, Joaquim,Kaliyamoorthy, Selvam,Naka, Hiroshi,Saito, Susumu
supporting information, p. 18025 - 18032 (2017/12/08)
We report herein a regio- and stereoselective photocatalytic hydrogenolysis of allylic alcohols to form unsaturated hydrocarbons employing a palladium(II)-loaded titanium oxide; the reaction proceeds at room temperature under light irradiation without stoichiometric generation of salt wastes. Olefin and saturated alcohol moieties tolerated the reaction conditions. Hydrogen atoms were selectively incorporated into less sterically congested carbons of the allylic functionalities. This protocol allowed a short-step synthesis of (S)-(+)-lavandulol from (R)-(?)-carvone by avoiding otherwise necessary protection/deprotection steps.
