Triarylphosphine ligands with hemilabile alkoxy groups: Ligands for nickel(II)-catalyzed olefin dimerization reactions. hydrovinylation of vinylarenes, 1,3-dienes, and cycloisomerization of 1,6-dienes

Substitution of one of the phenyl groups of triphenylphosphine with a 2-benzyloxy-, 2-benzyloxymethyl- or 2-benzyloxyethyl-phenyl moiety results in a set of simple ligands, which exhibit strikingly different behaviour in various nickel(II)-catalyzed olefin dimerization reactions. Complexes of ligands with 2-benzyloxyphenyl- and 2-benzyloxymethylphenyldiphenylphosphine (L5 and L6, respectively) are most active for hydrovinylation (HV) of vinylarenes, with the former leading to extensive isomerization of the primary 3-aryl-1-butenes into the conjugated 2-aryl-2-butenes even at -55 °C. However, 2-benzyloxymethyl-substituted ligand L6 is slightly less active, affording up to quantitative yields of the primary products of HV at ambient temperature with no trace of isomerization, thus providing the best option for a practical synthesis of these compounds. In sharp contrast, hydrovinylation of a variety of 1,3-dienes is best catalyzed by nickel(II) complexes of 2- benzyloxyphenyldiphenylphosphine, L5. The other two ligands, 2-benzyloxymethyl- (L6) and 2-benzyloxyethyldiphenylphosphine (L7) are much less effective in the HV of 1,3-dienes. Nickel(II)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of 1,6-dienes into methylenecyclopentanes, a reaction mechanistically related to the other hydrovinylation reactions, is also uniquely effected by nickel(II) complexes of L5, but not of L6 or L7. In an attempt to prepare authentic samples of the methylencyclohexane products, nickel(II) complexes of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands were examined. In sharp contrast to the phosphines, which give the methylenecyclopentanes, methylenecyclohexanes are the major products in the (N-heterocyclic carbene)nickel(II)-mediated reactions.

Asymmetric hydrovinylation of 1-vinylcycloalkenes. Reagent control of regio- and stereoselectivity

1-Vinylcycloalkenes undergo highly regio- and enantioselective (>98% ee) 1,4-hydrovinylation (HV) when treated with ethylene (1 atm) at room temperature in the presence of [(S,S)-2,4-bis-diphenylphosphinopentane (BDPP)]CoCl 2 (0.05 equiv) and methylaluminoxane. The minor 1,2-HV products, seen only in 1-vinylcyclohexene (～15%) and 1-vinylcycloheptene (2%), are formed as racemic mixtures. The corresponding Ni(II)-catalyzed HV reactions of these substrates give mostly the 1,2-adducts. Racemic 4-tert-butyl-1-vinylcyclohexene, when treated with Co[(S,S)-(BDPP)]Cl2 and ethylene, undergoes a rare enantiodivergent reaction giving two diastereomers each in >98% ee.

Hydrovinylation of 1,3-dienes: A new protocol, an asymmetric variation, and a potential solution to the exocyclic side chain stereochemistry problem

Cyclic and acyclic 1,3-dienes undergo efficient (substrate/catalyst = 72) heterodimerization with ethylene in the presence of a Ni catalyst prepared from [o-(PhCH2O)]C6H4PPh2, [(allyl)2NiBr]2, and Na+ BAr4- (Ar = 3,5-bis-trifluromethylphenyl), giving 1,2-addition products. Yields up to 99% can be realized for several 1-vinylcycloalkenes and 1-substituted 1,3-butadienes. Phospholanes with suitably placed hemilabile ligating groups and phosphoramidites derived from binaphthol are excellent ligands for an asymmetric variation of this reaction, the latter giving 99% yield and >95% ee's for selected substrates. An example of how an exocyclic chiral center can be used to install other stereo-centers in the ring (e. g., the carbon to which the side chain is attached) is also provided. These discoveries open an expeditious entry into several biologically relevant classes of compounds, especially those carrying tetrahydronaphthalene and related heterocyclic moieties. Copyright

γ-selective cross-coupling of potassium allyltrifluoroborates with aryl and 1-alkenyl bromides catalyzed by a Pd(OAc)2/D-t-BPF complex

Cross-coupling reactions of [RCH=CHCH2BF3]K with aryl or 1-alkenyl bromides occurred at the γ-carbon of an allylborane moiety with perfect regioselectivities (>99%) in the presence of a palladium/D-t-BPF complex and K2COs

Regio- and stereoselective ruthenium-catalyzed hydrovinylation of 1,3-dienes: Application to the generation of a 20(S) steroidal side chain

(Matrix presented) The addition of ethylene to 1,3-dienes and 1-vinylcycloalkenes, catalyzed by two ruthenium complexes, proceeds in a regioselective fashion to afford 3-methyl-1,4-dienes as products. For a steroidal-based 1-vinylcycloalkene, the addition
