A Change from Kinetic to Thermodynamic Control Enables trans-Selective Stereochemical Editing of Vicinal Diols

Here, we report the selective, catalytic isomerization of cis-1,2-diols to trans-diequatorial-1,2-diols. The method employs triphenylsilanethiol (Ph3SiSH) as a catalyst and proceeds under mild conditions in the presence of a photoredox catalyst and under

Preparation of Functionalized Diorganomagnesium Reagents in Toluene via Bromine or Iodine/Magnesium-Exchange Reactions

A wide range of polyfunctionalized di(hetero)aryl- and dialkenyl-magnesium reagents are prepared in toluene within 10 to 120 minutes between 78 C and 25 C via an I/Mg- or Br/Mg-exchange reaction using reagents of the general formula R2Mg (R = sBu, Mes). Highly sensitive functional groups, such as triazene or nitro, are tolerated in these exchange reactions, enabling the synthesis of various functionalized (hetero)arene and alkene derivatives after quenching with several electrophiles including allyl bromides, acyl chlorides, aldehydes, ketones, and aryl iodides.

Cu-Catalyzed Oxidative Allylic C-H Arylation of Inexpensive Alkenes with (Hetero)Aryl Boronic Acids

Herein, we present a regioselective Cu-catalyzed oxidative allylic C(sp3)-H arylation by radical relay using a broad range of heteroaryl boronic acids with inexpensive and readily available unactivated terminal and internal olefins. This C(sp2)-C(sp3) allyl coupling has the advantage of using cheap, abundant, and nontoxic Cu2O without the need to use prefunctionalized alkenes, thus offering an alternative method to allylic arylation reactions that employ more traditional coupling partners with preinstalled leaving groups (LGs) at the allylic position.

Ligand-Enabled Nickel-Catalyzed Redox-Relay Migratory Hydroarylation of Alkenes with Arylborons

A redox-relay migratory hydroarylation of isomeric mixtures of olefins with arylboronic acids catalyzed by nickel complexes bearing diamine ligands is described. A range of structurally diverse 1,1-diarylalkanes, including those containing a 1,1-diarylated quaternary carbon, were obtained in excellent yields and with high regioselectivity. Preliminary experimental evidence supports the proposed non-dissociated chainwalking of aryl-nickel(II)-hydride species along the alkyl chain of alkenes before selective reductive elimination at a benzylic position. A catalyst loading as low as 0.5 mol % proved to be sufficient in large-scale synthesis while retaining high reactivity, highlighting the practical value of this transformation.

Sulfur-mediated allylic C-H arylation, epoxidation, and aziridination

Transition-metal-free, sulfur-mediated allylic C-H arylation, epoxidation, and aziridination were realized through one-pot procedures. The reaction design involved initial addition between olefins and triflic anhydride activated sulfoxides, followed by subsequent reactions of the allylic sulfur ylides generated under basic conditions with arylboronic acids, aldehydes, or aldimines, to give allylic arylation, epoxidation, or aziridination products, respectively.

Nickel(0)-Catalyzed Hydroarylation of Styrenes and 1,3-Dienes with Organoboron Compounds

A Ni-catalyzed hydroarylation of styrenes and 1,3-dienes with organoboron compounds has been developed. The reaction offers a highly selective approach to diarylalkanes and allylarenes under redox-neutral conditions. In this hydroarylation reaction, a new strategy that uses the proton of methanol to generate the active catalyst species Ni?H was developed. The Ni-catalyzed hydroarylation, combined with a Ir-catalyzed C?H borylation, affords a very efficient and straightforward access to a retinoic acid receptor agonist.

A method for the net contra-thermodynamic isomerization of cyclic trisubstituted alkenes

A simple sequence for the net contra-thermodynamic isomerization of cyclic trisubstituted alkenes is reported consisting of a radical addition of p-chlorothiophenol, followed by oxidation to the sulfoxide and thermal syn-elimination to give the least substituted isomeric cycloalkene.

Selective arylation at the vinylic site of cyclic olefins

Cyclic olefins usually give Heck products having an aryl ring residing at the allylic or homoallylic position. We describe herein a new method that allows arylation at the vinylic position of various cyclic olefins.

Iron-catalyzed allylic arylation of olefins via C(sp3)-H activation under mild conditions

An aryl Grignard reagent in the presence of mesityl iodide converts an allylic C-H bond of a cycloalkene or an allylbenzene derivative into a C-C bond in the presence of a catalytic amount of Fe(acac)3 and a diphosphine ligand at 0 C. The stereo- and regioselectivity of the reaction, together with deuterium labeling experiments, suggest that C-H bond activation is the slow step in the catalytic cycle preceding the formation of an allyliron intermediate.

Cross-coupling of grignard reagents with sulfonyl-activated sp3 carbon-nitrogen bonds

Sulfonyl-activated sp3 carbon-nitrogen bonds have been found to be cleaved by Grignard reagents in the presence of 5 mol% of copper(I) iodide (CuI). Significantly, a broad range of sulfonyl-activated benzylic, allylic, and propargylic amines smoothly undergo the cross-coupling reaction with Grignard reagents to afford structurally diverse coupling products in good to excellent yields and with high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. Moreover, an S N2 mechanism has been demonstrated to be involved in the cross-coupling reaction that allows the asymmetric synthesis of chiral hydrocarbons from optically active α-branched amine derivatives.
