Double-bond transposition in alkenes (isomerization) offers opportunities for the synthesis of bioactive molecules, but requires high selectivity to avoid mixtures of products. Generation of Z-alkenes, which are present in many natural products and pharmaceuticals, is particularly challenging because it is usually less thermodynamically favorable than generation of the E isomers. We report a β-dialdiminate-supported, high-spin cobalt(I) complex that can convert terminal alkenes, including previously recalcitrant allylbenzenes, to Z-2-alkenes with unprecedentedly high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. Deuterium labeling studies indicate that the catalyst operates through a π-allyl mechanism, which is different from the alkyl mechanism that is followed by other Z-selective catalysts. Computations indicate that the triplet cobalt(I) alkene complex undergoes a spin state change from the resting-state triplet to a singlet in the lowest-energy C-H activation transition state, which leads to the Z product. This suggests that this change in spin state enables the catalyst to differentiate the stereodefining barriers in this system, and more generally that spin-state changes may offer a route toward novel stereocontrol methods for first-row transition metals.
Silicon Grignard Reagents as Nucleophiles in Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Allylic Substitution

A broad range of transition-metal catalysts is shown to promote allylic substitution reactions of allylic electrophiles with silicon Grignard reagents. The procedure was further elaborated for CuI as catalyst. The regioselectively is independent of the leaving group for primary allylic precursors, favoring α over γ. The stereochemical course of this allylic transposition was probed with a cyclic system, and anti -dia-stereoselectivity was obtained.

A robust method for the preparation of silicon-based magnesium reagents is reported. The MgBr2 used in the lithium-to-magnesium transmetalation step is generated in situ from 1,2-dibromoethane and elemental magnesium in hot THF. No precipitation of MgBr2 occurs in the heat, and transmetalation at elevated temperature leads to homogeneous stock solutions of the silicon Grignard reagents that are stable and storable in the fridge. This method avoids the preparation of silicon pronucleophiles such as Si?Si and Si?B reagents. The new Grignard reagents were applied to unprecedented iron- and cobalt-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl bromides. The functional-group tolerance of these magnesium reagents is excellent.

The cobalt-catalyzed selective isomerization of terminal alkenes to the thermodynamically less-stable (Z)-2-alkenes at ambient temperatures takes place by a new mechanism involving the transfer of a hydrogen atom from a Ph2PH ligand to the starting material and the formation of a phosphenium complex, which recycles the Ph2PH complex through a 1,2-H shift.

A highly reactive nickel catalyst comprising NiCl2(dppp) or NiCl2(dppe) with zinc powder, ZnI2 and Ph2PH, was applied in the isomerization of terminal alkenes to Z-2-alkenes. The double-bond geometry of the 2-alkene can be controlled via the reaction temperature to yield the 2-Z-alkenes in excellent yields and high Z-selectivities. The formation of other constitutional isomers, such as 3-alkenes, is suppressed on the basis of the proposed mechanism via a 1,2-hydride shift from the metal to the Ph2P ligand. The nickel-catalyzed isomerization reaction was then applied in the synthesis of (9Z,12Z)-tetradeca-9,12-dienyl acetate, a pheromone with a 2Z,5Z-diene subunit.

Treatment of 1-alkenes with dimethylphenylsilylmethylmagnesium chloride in the presence of a cobalt-NHC complex in dioxane at 50°C or higher provides the corresponding (E)-2-alkenes selectively. The isomerization is applicable to the stereoselective synth
Practical synthesis of allylic silanes from allylic esters and carbamates by stereoselective copper-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions

, p. 637 - 640 (2007/10/03)
The first copper-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions of allylic acetates and carbamates employing a bis(triorganosilyl)zinc reagent are reported. This novel procedure avoids the use of stoichiometric amounts of copper salts which are usually mandatory with this chemistry. Application of this methodology to standard model substrates substantiates a high diastereoselectivity for the double bond geometry (E:Z) as well as the relative configuration (syn:anti).
Regio- and Stereochemistry on the Electrophilic Trapping of Allylic Samariums Generated by Reductive Cleavage of Allylic Ethers with (C5Me5)2Sm(thf)n

The C-O bond of allylic benzyl ethers was selectively cleaved with Cp*2Sm(thf)n to give allylic samarium complexes in good yields. Facility of their bond fission has been found to be comparable to that of the corresponding propargylic ethers intermolecularly, but lower intramolecularly. Regio-and stereochemistry on the electrophilic trapping of the allylic complexes thus generated remarkably depended on the nature of the electrophiles. They reacted with carbonyl compounds exclusively from the most substituted terminus of the allylic moieties to yield blanched homoallylic alcohols with anti diasteroselectivity. On the other hand, trapping with silyl chlorides produced linear allylic silanes. Here, a plausible mechanism to account for the difference is proposed.

Primary and secondary allylic acetates and benzoates react with the dimethyl(phenyl)silyl-cuprate reagent to give allylsilanes, provided that the THF in which the cuprate is prepared is diluted with ether before addition of the allylic ester.The reaction is reasonably regioselective in some cases: (i) when the allylic system is more-substituted at one end than the other, as in the reactions 4->5 and 9->10; (ii) when the steric hindrance at one end is neopentyl-like, as in the reactions 15->16; and (iii) when the disubstituted double bond has the Z configuration, as in th e reactions Z-19->E-21 or, better, because the silyl group is becoming attached to the less-sterically hindered end of the allylic system, Z-20->E-22.The regioselectivity is better if a phenyl carbamate is used in place of the ester, and a three-step protocol assembling the mixed cuprate on the leaving group is used, as in the reactions 23->24 and E- or Z-29->E-21, or, best of all, because the silyl group is again becoming attached to the less-sterically hindered end of the allylic system, E- or Z-30->E-22.This sequence works well to move the silyl group onto the more substituted end of an allyl system, but only when the move is from a secondary allylic carbamate to a tertiary allylsilane, as in the reaction 38->39.Allyl(trimethyl)silanes can be made using alkyl- or aryl-cuprates on trimethylsilyl-containing allylic esters and carbamates, as in the reactions 40->41, and 43->44.The reaction of the silyl-cuprate with allylic esters and the three-step sequence with the allylic carbamates are stereochemically complementary, the former being stereospecifically anti and the latter stereospecifically syn.Homochiral allylsilanes can be ma de by these methods with high levels of stereospecificity, as shown by the synthesis of the allylsilanes 54, 58 and 59.
