Ligand-controlled regiodivergence has been developed for catalytic semireduction of allenamides with excellent chemo- and stereocontrol. This system also provides an example of catalytic regiodivergent semireduction of allenes for the first time. The divergence of the semireduction is enabled by ligand switch with the same palladium pre-catalyst under operationally simple and mild conditions. Monodentate ligand XPhos exclusively promotes selective 1,2-semireduction to afford allylic amides, while bidentate ligand BINAP completely switched the regioselectivity to 2,3-semireduction, producing (E)-enamide derivatives.

We report the synthesis and investigation into the structure-property relationships of eight different low molecular weight hydrogelators based on a bisaromatic urea core unit, all of which form gels as the pH of the solution is lowered. The low molecular weight hydrogelators are functionalized with carboxylic acid moieties on one aromatic ring, and the other aromatic ring features a nitro functional group either in the meta- or paraposition relative to the urea linkage. Ortho-methyl substituents were installed on the aromatic rings to enforce a non-coplanar arrangement between the phenyl and urea moieties. Gel formation was triggered by the addition of a mineral acid or the ring-opening hydrolysis of glucono-δ-lactone. The low molecular weight hydrogelators were studied by a variety of analytical techniques, including NMR spectroscopy and rheology. In addition, their ability to uptake a dye, methylene blue, was determined by UV-vis spectroscopy. (Figure Presented)
Three-Component Ring-Opening Reactions of Cyclic Ethers, α-Diazo Esters, and Weak Nucleophiles under Metal-Free Conditions

A protocol for three-component reactions of cyclic ethers, α-diazo esters, and weak nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, and sulfur nucleophiles (pKa = 2.2-14.8) to afford a variety of structurally complex α-oxyalkylated esters is reported. These reactions involve intermolecular activation of the cyclic ether (present in excess) by the α-diazo ester to form an oxonium ylide under metal-free conditions, followed by ring opening by the nucleophile.
