Dilithium Amides as a Modular Bis-Anionic Ligand Platform for Iron-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling

Dilithium amides have been developed as a bespoke and general ligand for iron-catalyzed Kumada-Tamao-Corriu cross-coupling reactions, their design taking inspiration from previous mechanistic and structural studies. They allow for the cross-coupling of alkyl Grignard reagents with sp2-hybridized electrophiles as well as aryl Grignard reagents with sp3-hybridized electrophiles. This represents a rare example of a single iron-catalyzed system effective across diverse coupling reactions without significant modification of the catalytic protocol, as well as remaining operationally simple.

Robust synthesis of NIR-emissive P-rhodamine fluorophores

P-Rhodamines were accessed by implementing a robust three step sequence consisting of (i) addition of m-metallated anilines to dichlorophosphine oxides, (ii) selective dibromination, and (iii) cyclization of the diaryllithium reagents derived from the dib

Nickel-catalyzed direct alkynylation of C(sp2)-H bonds of amides: An "inverse Sonogashira strategy" to ortho-alkynylbenzoic acids

Nickel-catalyzed direct alkynylation of C(sp2)-H bonds of amides using commercially available, inexpensive 8-aminoquinoline as a removable bidentate directing group is described. The present ortho-alkynylation has a broad substrate scope, funct

Lipase-mediated resolution of substituted 2-aryl-propanols: Application to the enantioselective synthesis of phenolic sesquiterpenes

A comprehensive study of the lipase-mediated resolution of substituted 2-aryl-propanols is reported. The latter alcohols were submitted to the irreversible acetylation catalyzed either by PPL, CRL, or lipase PS. The enantioselectivity of these transformations was dependent on the type of lipase used. The type of substituents and particularly their position on the aromatic ring strongly affected the selectivity of the reaction. The experiments described prove that PPL is the more versatile lipase catalyzing the acetylation with an enantiomeric ratio (E) value that ranges from 1 up to 144, depending on the substrate used. Conversely, the same transformations were catalyzed by CRL and lipase PS with an enantiomeric ratio value, which is always less than 5. The remarkable behavior of PPL was exploited in the large scale resolution of some substituted 2-aryl-propanols whose enantiomeric forms are relevant building blocks in the enantioselective synthesis of phenolic sesquiterpenes. By these means, the synthesis of (S)-turmeronol B and the formal syntheses of (R)-curcumene, (R)-curcuphenol, (R)-xanthorrhizol, and (R)-curcuhydroquinone were accomplished.

Novel Rh catalysis in cross-coupling between alkyl halides and arylzinc compounds possessing ortho-COX (X = OR, NMe2, or Ph) groups

Rh-dppf was found to be an efficient catalyst for the cross-coupling between primary alkyl halides bearings-hydrogens and arylzinc compounds possessing carbonyl groups such as ester, amide, or ketone at the ortho position. Various functional groups such as ester, nitrite, or acyloxylate moieties on the halides were tolerated under the catalysis conditions. Arylzinc compounds free of ortho-carbonyl groups reacted well with ethyl 3-iodopropanoate, suggesting that the essential intramolecular interaction between carbonyl groups and Rh promotes the reductive elimination.
