Asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) is a powerful method for the formation of highly useful, non-racemic allylic compounds. Here we present a complementary enantioselective process that generates allylic lactones via π-acid catalysis. More specifically, a

Kinetic resolution (KR) and dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of γ-aryl and heteroaryl-substituted butenolides via CuH-catalyzed 1,4-hydroboration using pinacolborane is reported. With a copper-Ph-BPE catalyst, selectivity factors were extremely high (s=>400) with regard to the kinetic resolution of β-methyl-γ-phenyl butenolide; DKR was possible in the presence of an amine base (DBU), which facilitated racemization of the starting unsaturated lactones. The reaction provided easy access to highly enantioenriched γ-butyrolactones (>99% ee) containing β,γ-substituents. (Figure presented.).

The design and a gram-scale synthesis of a bench-stable cyclohexa-1,4-diene-based surrogate of gaseous hydrogen iodide are described. By initiation with a moderately strong Br?nsted acid, hydrogen iodide is transferred from the surrogate onto C-C multiple bonds such as alkynes and allenes without the involvement of free hydrogen iodide. The surrogate fragments into toluene and ethylene, easy-to-remove volatile waste. This hydroiodination reaction avoids precarious handling of hydrogen iodide or hydroiodic acid. By this, a broad range of previously unknown or difficult-to-prepare vinyl iodides can be accessed in stereocontrolled fashion.
