A chiral 2,2′-bipyridine ligand (1) bearing α,α′-trifluoromethyl-alcohols at 6,6′-positions was designed in five steps affording either the R,R or S,S enantiomer with excellent stereoselectivities, i.e. 97% de, >99% ee and >99.5% de, >99.5% ee, respectively. The key step for reaching high levels of stereoselectivity was demonstrated to be the resolution of the α-CF3-alcohol using (S)-ibuprofen as the resolving agent. An initial application for the 2,2′-bipyridine-α,α′-CF3-diol ligand was highlighted in the ZnII-catalyzed asymmetric ethylation reaction of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic aldehydes. Synergistic electron deficiency and steric hindrance properties of the newly developed ligand afforded the corresponding alcohols in good to excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee). As observed from single crystal diffraction analysis, the complexation of the 2,2′-bipyridine-α,α′-CF3-diol ligand generates an unusual hexacoordinated ZnII.

A route to prepare functionalized quinolines based on a Heck reaction/UV-induced alkene isomerization sequence is described. The method allows for the preparation of quinolines under mild and neutral conditions and has broad functional group tolerance. Acid-sensitive functional groups that would not be tolerated under previous approaches can be included and a one-pot quinoline forming procedure is also reported.

A chemoselective 1,2-reduction of cycloalkyl vinyl ketones via asymmetric transfer hydrogenation is described. The reduction proceeded smoothly with a chiral diamine ruthenium complex as a catalyst and a HCOOH-NEt3 azeotrope as both a hydrogen source and solvent under mild conditions. A wide range of 1-cycloalkyl chiral allylic alcohols were obtained in good yields and up to 87% ee. It was found that the alkyl group plays an important role in the enantioselectivity.

A Br?nsted acid enabled nickel-catalyzed hydroalkenylation of aldehydes and styrene derivatives has been developed. The Br?nsted acid acts as a proton shuttle to transfer a proton from the alkene to the aldehyde, thereby leading to an economical and byproduct-free coupling. A series of synthetically useful allylic alcohols were obtained through one-step reactions from readily available styrene derivatives and aliphatic aldehydes in up to 88 % yield and with high linear selectivity.

A Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination of 4-substituted 2-acetoxybut-3-enoates with amines has been developed for the regiospecific synthesis of chiral α,β-unsaturated γ-amino esters. The desired chiral aminated products can be obtained in up to 98%

, p. 10458 - 10462 (2016/08/24)
The highly efficient electrophilic cyanation of boron enolates using readily available cyanating reagents, N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide (NCTS) and p-toluenesulfonyl cyanide (TsCN), is reported. Various β-ketonitriles were prepared by this new protocol, which has a remarkably broad substrate scope compared to existing methods. The present method also allowed efficient synthesis of β-ketonitriles containing a quaternary α-carbon center. In addition, a preliminary result with the use of a chiral boron enolate for the enantioselective cyanation reaction is described.

The Nazarov cyclization of divinyl ketones with an ester at the β-position was examined with particular reference to where the cyclic double bond forms. We observed unprecedented regioselectivity, dictated by the subtle substitution patterns at the α-position and alkene geometry of α,β and mostly, this selectivity is regardless of substitutions at α′- and β′-positions. The major implications of these observations are an aromatic group at the α-position with E-olefin geometry provides a cyclopentenone in which the double bond is not in conjugation with an ester, whereas Z-olefin provides a cyclopentenone in which the double bond is in conjugation with an ester; and divinyl ketones bearing an ester group at the β-position and an alkyl group at the α-position with E-olefin geometry provide a cyclopentenone in which the double bond is in conjugation with the ester.

β-Substituted aldehydes constitute a very important class of compounds found in nature. Synthesis of this motif can be envisioned by C-C bond formation on enals. For this purpose, we report herein the development of enantioselective copper-catalyzed conjugate addition of various organometallic reagents to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with (R)-H8BINAP, (R)-TolBINAP, and (R)-SEGPHOS as chiral ligands. Three sets of conditions were successfully developed and several enals were used. Reactivity and regio- and enantioselectivities were strongly dependent on reaction conditions and substrates. Good to excellent regio- and enantioselectivities were obtained with zinc reagents R2Zn and aluminum reagents R3Al. However, the asymmetric conjugate addition of Grignard reagents afforded only moderate to good regio- and enantioselectivities.

The P,N,N-pincer nickel complex [Ni(Cl){N(2-Ph2PC6H4)(2′-Me2NC6H4)}]-catalyzed allyl-aryl coupling was studied. The reaction of allyl methyl ethers, including (1-methoxyallyl)arenes and (3-methoxyprop-1-en-1-yl)arenes, with arylzinc chlorides afforded linear (E)-alkenes in high yields, whereas the reaction of (E)-1-methoxytridec-2-ene with p-Me2NC6H4ZnCl generated a mixture of linear and branched alkenes.
