Rhodium-Catalyzed Regiodivergent Synthesis of Alkylboronates via Deoxygenative Hydroboration of Aryl Ketones: Mechanism and Origin of Selectivities

Here, we report an efficient rhodium-catalyzed deoxygenative borylation of ketones to synthesize alkylboronates, in which the regioselectivity can be switched by the choice of the ligand. The linear alkylboronates were obtained exclusively in the presence of P(nBu)3, and PPh2Me favored the formation of branched alkylboronates. The protocol also allows access to 1,1,2-triboronates from the readily available ketones. Mechanistic studies suggest that this Rh-catalyzed deoxygenative borylation of ketones goes through an alkene intermediate, which undergoes regiodivergent hydroboration to afford linear and branched alkylboronates. The different steric effects of PPh2Me and P(nBu)3 were found to be responsible for product selectivity by density functional theory calculations. The alkene intermediate can alternatively undergo sequential dehydrogenative borylation and hydroboration to deliver the triboronates.
Synthesis of Two Natural Furan-Cyclized Diarylheptanoids via 2-Furaldehyde

Two natural diarylheptanoids, 2-benzyl-5-(2-phenylethyl)furan (1) and 2-methoxy-4-{[5-(2-phenylethyl)furan-2-yl]methyl}phenol (2), were synthesized starting from 2-furaldehyde. A Wittig reaction of 2-furaldehyde with benzyltriphenylphosphonium bromide followed by reduction of the alkene C=C bond with Mg gave 2-(2-phenylethyl)furan (5). Lithiation of 5 with BuLi at -78 followed by alkylation with benzyl bromide gave natural product 1. In another approach, Friedel-Crafts acylation of compound 5 with benzoyl chloride followed by deoxygenation of the C=O group afforded 1. The natural product 2 was also synthesized by acylation of 5 with 4-acetoxy-3-methoxybenzoyl chloride (16) followed by deoxygenation and deacetylation.
Palladium-catalyzed reactions of enol ethers: Access to enals, furans, and dihydrofurans

The palladium-catalyzed oxidation of alkyl enol ethers to enals, which employs low loadings of a palladium catalyst, is described. The mild oxidation conditions tolerate a diverse array of functional groups, while allowing the formation of di-, tri-, and tetrasubtituted olefins. The application of this methodology to intramolecular reactions of alkyl enol ethers containing pendant alcohols provides furan and 2,5-dihydrofuran products.
