Disclosed herein is a convenient Ir-catalyzed amidation of esters to access α-amido esters. Initially prepared silyl ketene acetals are directly employed, without separate purification, for subsequent amidation with an oxycarbonylnitrenoid precursor using the Cp*(LX)Ir(III) catalyst. The α-amidation was facile for both α-aryl and α-alkyl esters. Density functional theory studies revealed that the generation of a putative Ir-nitrenoid is facilitated by the chelation of the countercation additive during the N-O bond cleavage of the nitrene precursor.

A novel approach for enantioselective cyanation of cyclopropanols and their derivatives through copper-catalyzed radical relay processes has been developed. Various cyclopropanols and cyclopropanone acetals are compatible to the catalytic conditions, providing β-carbonyl nitriles with excellent enantioselectivity. These products can be readily converted to chiral γ-amino acids derivatives and drugs such as (R)-baclofen. Preliminary mechanistic studies have supported a ring-opening process for cyclopropanoxy radicals followed by copper-catalyzed enantioselective cyanation of benzylic radicals to form the C?CN bonds in an enantioselective manner.

A cross-coupling reaction between enol derivatives and silyl ketene acetals catalyzed by GaBr3took place to give the corresponding α-alkenyl esters. GaBr3showed the most effective catalytic ability, whereas other metal salts such as BF3?OEt2, AlCl3, PdCl2, and lanthanide triflates were not effective. Various types of enol ethers and vinyl carboxylates as enol derivatives are amenable to this coupling. The scope of the reaction with silyl ketene acetals was also broad. We successfully observed an alkylgallium intermediate by using NMR spectroscopy, suggesting a mechanism involving anti-carbogallation among GaBr3, an enol derivative, and a silyl ketene acetal, followed by syn-β-alkoxy elimination from the alkylgallium. Based on kinetic studies, the turnover-limiting step of the reaction using a vinyl ether and a vinyl carboxylate involved syn-β-alkoxy elimination and anti-carbogallation, respectively. Therefore, the leaving group had a significant effect on the progress of the reaction. Theoretical calculations analysis suggest that the moderate Lewis acidity of gallium would contribute to a flexible conformational change of the alkylgallium intermediate and to the cleavage of the carbon?oxygen bond in the β-alkoxy elimination process, which is the turnover-limiting step in the reaction between a vinyl ether and a silyl ketene acetal.
