Z-E photoisomerization of benzylidenebenzocyclobutenones via ketene- allene intermediates. A laser flash photolysis study
Boch,Bradley,Durst,Scaiano
, p. 19 - 22 (1994)
Benzylidenebenzocyclobutenones I-E and I-Z undergo photoinduced isomerization via the intermediacy of ketene-allene II which in acetonitrile has a lifetime of ~26 μs and can be trapped with water and methanol. Trapping by the latter occurs with a rate constant of 1.2 x 104 M-1 s-1 and leads to the expected ester. In addition to Z = E isomerization, product studies reveal the formation of dimeric products in very low quantum yields.

The copper-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of unactivated alkenes for the synthesis of tetrahydrofurans, phthalans, isochromans, and morpholines from 4- and 5-alkenols is reported. The substrate scope is complementary to existing enantioselective alkene hydroalkoxylations and is broad with respect to substrate backbone and alkene substitution. The asymmetric induction and isotopic labeling studies support a polar/radical mechanism involving enantioselective oxycupration followed by C-[Cu] homolysis and hydrogen atom transfer. Synthesis of the antifungal insecticide furametpyr was accomplished.

An efficient E-selective semihydrogenation of internal alkynes was developed under low dihydrogen pressure and low reaction temperature from commercially available reagents: Cl2Pd(PPh3)2, Zn0, and ZnI2. Kinetic studies and control experiments underline the significant role of ZnI2 in this process under H2 atmosphere, establishing that the transformation involves syn-hydrogenation followed by isomerization. This simple and easy-to-handle system provides a route to E-alkenes under mild conditions.

The strained olefins in trans-cyclooctenes serve as efficient catalysts for halolactonizations, including bromolactonizations and iodolactonizations. The trans-cyclooctene framework is essential for excellent catalytic performance, and the substituents also play important roles in determining efficiency. These results are the first demonstration of catalysis by a trans-cyclooctene.
Encaging palladium(0) in layered double hydroxide: A sustainable catalyst for solvent-free and ligand-free Heck reaction in a ball mill

In this paper, the synthesis of a cheap, reusable and ligand-free Pd catalyst supported on MgAl layered double hydroxides (Pd/MgAl-LDHs) by co-precipitation and reduction methods is described. The catalyst was used in Heck reactions under highspeed ball milling (HSBM) conditions at room temperature. The effects of milling-ball size, milling-ball filling degree, reaction time, rotation speed and grinding auxiliary category, which would influence the yields of mechanochemical Heck reactions, were investigated in detail. The characterization results of XRD, ICP-MS and XPS suggest that Pd/MgAl-LDHs have excellent textural properties with zero-valence Pd on its layers. The reaction results indicate that the catalyst could be utilized in HSBM systems to afford a wide range of Heck coupling products in satisfactory yields. Furthermore, this catalyst could be easily recovered and reused for at least five times without significant loss of catalytic activity.
An Easy-to-Machine Electrochemical Flow Microreactor: Efficient Synthesis of Isoindolinone and Flow Functionalization

Flow electrochemistry is an efficient methodology to generate radical intermediates. An electrochemical flow microreactor has been designed and manufactured to improve the efficiency of electrochemical flow reactions. With this device only little or no supporting electrolytes are needed, making processes less costly and enabling easier purification. This is demonstrated by the facile synthesis of amidyl radicals used in intramolecular hydroaminations to produce isoindolinones. The combination with inline mass spectrometry facilitates a much easier combination of chemical steps in a single flow process.
Preparation of Vinyl Arenes by Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Coupling of Aryl Halides with Vinyl Bromides
Liu, Jiandong,Ren, Qinghua,Zhang, Xinghua,Gong, Hegui
supporting information, p. 15544 - 15548 (2016/12/09)
This work emphasizes the synthesis of substituted vinyl arenes by reductive coupling of aryl halides with vinyl bromides under mild and easy-to-operate nickel-catalyzed reaction conditions. A broad range of aryl halides, including heteroaromatics, and vinyl bromides were employed to yielding products in moderate to excellent yields with high functional-group tolerance. The nickel-catalytic system displays good chemoselectivity between the two C(sp2)-halide coupling partners, thus demonstrating a mechanistic pathway distinct from other stepwise protocols.

Rhodium-catalyzed oxidative decarbonylative Heck-type coupling of aromatic aldehydes with terminal alkenes
Kang, Lei,Zhang, Feng,Ding, Lin-Ting,Yang, Luo
, p. 100452 - 100456 (2015/12/09)
A rhodium-catalyzed oxidative decarbonylative Heck-type coupling of aromatic aldehydes with terminal alkenes to afford 1,2-disubstituted alkenes with good regio- and E-selectivity is developed. This reaction employs readily available aromatic aldehydes as the aryl electrophile counterpart and relies on selected acyl chloride as the crucial additive to activate the rhodium catalyst precursor.

Murray, Paul M.,Bower, John F,Cox, David K,Galbraith, Ewan K,Parker, Jeremy S,Sweeney, Joseph B.
, p. 397 - 405 (2013/04/24)
The Heck-Mizoroki (HM) reaction is one of the most widely used C-C bond-forming methods of contemporary synthesis. Notwithstanding this, these reactions frequently require significant optimization before efficient transformations can be obtained. We describe here the results of a study that aimed to establish a generic experimental protocol for HM reactions which enables acceptable yields from first-pass experiments. The methodology utilizes readily available stable catalysts and can be applied to a broad range of coupling partners.
