Catalytic Functionalization of Styrenyl Epoxides via 2-Nickela(II)oxetanes

Low-valent nickel is shown to preferentially isomerize mono- or disubstituted epoxides into their corresponding aldehydes. Experiments with tetrasubstituted epoxides demonstrate that these reactions proceed via reactive 2-nickelaoxetane intermediates, and

Iron-catalysed 1,2-aryl migration of tertiary azides

1,2-Aryl migration of α,α-diaryl tertiary azides was achieved by using the catalytic system of FeCl2/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) SIPr·HCl. The reaction generated aniline products in good yields after one-pot reduction of the migration-resultant imines.

A simple and efficient copper oxide-catalyzed Barbier-Grignard reaction of unactivated aryl or alkyl bromides with ester

An efficient one-pot route to synthesize tertiary alcohol compounds using Barbier-Grignard reaction of unactivated alkyl or aryl bromides with ester in THF at 65 C catalyzed by CuO has been developed and systematically investigated. A wide range of substituted tertiary alcohol compounds were obtained in good to high yields. The reaction is highly chemoselective. The mechanism involving the leaving group of R2O-group is discussed.

Added-metal-free catalytic nucleophilic addition of Grignard reagents to ketones

On the basis of the investigation of the combinational effect of quaternary ammonium salts and organic bases, an added-metal-free catalytic system for nucleophilic addition reactions of a variety of Grignard reagents to diverse ketones in THF solvent has been developed to produce tertiary alcohols in good to excellent yields. By using tetrabutylammonium chloride (NBu4Cl) as a catalyst and diglyme (DGDE) as an additive, this system strongly enhances the efficiency of addition at the expense of enolization and reduction. NBu 4Cl should help to shift the Schlenk equilibrium of Grignard reagents to the side of dimeric Grignard reagents to favor the additions of Grignard reagents to ketones via a favored six-membered transition state to form the desired tertiary alcohols, and DGDE should increase the nucleophilic reactivities of Grignard reagents by coordination. This catalytic system has been applied in the efficient synthesis of Citalopram, an effective U.S. FDA-approved antidepressant, and a recyclable version of this catalytic synthesis has also been devised.

Rhodium(I)/diene-catalyzed addition reactions of arylborons with ketones

Rh(I)/diene-catalyzed addition reactions of arylboroxines/arylboronic acids with unactivated ketones to form tertiary alcohols in good to excellent yields are described. By using C2-symmetric (3aR,6aR)-3,6-diaryl-1,3a,4,6a- tetrahydropentalenes as ligands, the asymmetric version of such an addition reaction, with up to 68% ee, was also realized.

Controlled alcohol-carbonyl interconversion by nickel catalysis

All in one pot: A general synthetic platform allows the interconversion of alcohols and carbonyl compounds in a predictable and controlled fashion in one pot. Under the action of a Ni catalyst, PhCl, CsF, and arylboronates, several multistep alcohol-carbonyl interconversions have been achieved with good overall efficiency (see scheme). A one-pot nickel-catalyzed synthesis of flumecinol (a hepatic microsomal enzyme inducer) has also been demonstrated. Copyright

Homogeneous decatungstate-catalyzed photooxygenation of tetrasubstituted alkenes: A deuterium kinetic isotope effect study

The decatungstate W10O324- homogeneous photocatalyzed oxygenation of tetrasubstituted alkenes has been mechanistically studied. In all cases, allylic hydroperoxides are the major products. The primary inter- and intramolec

Highly efficient alkylation to ketones and aldimines with Grignard reagents catalyzed by zinc(II) chloride

A highly efficient alkylation to ketones and aldimines with Grignard reagents in the presence of catalytic trialkylzinc(II) ate complexes derived from ZnCl2 (10 mol %) in situ was developed. This simple Zn(II)-catalyzed alkylation could minimize the well-known but serious problems with the use of only Grignard reagents, which leads to reduction and aldol side products, and the yield of desired alkylation products could be improved.

Highly alkyl-selective addition to ketones with magnesium ate complexes derived from Gignard reagents

(Chemical Equation Presented) A highly efficient alkyl-selective addition to ketones with magnesium ate complexes derived from Grignard reagents and alkyllithiums is described. The nucleophilicity of R in R3MgLi is remarkably increased compared to that of the original RLi or RMgX, while the basicity of R3MgLi is decreased. Furthermore, a highly R-selective addition to ketones is demonstrated using RMe2MgLi in place of R 3MgLi.
