Although the olefin metathesis reaction is a well-known and powerful strategy to get alkenes, this reaction remained highly challenging with fluororalkenes, especially the Cross-Metathesis (CM) process. Our thought was to find an easy accessible, convenient, reactive and post-functionalizable source of fluoroalkene, that we found as the methyl 2-fluoroacrylate. We reported herein the efficient ruthenium-catalyzed CM reaction of various terminal and internal alkenes with methyl 2-fluoroacrylate giving access, for the first time, to trisubstituted fluoroalkenes stereoselectively. Unprecedent TON for CM involving fluoroalkene, up to 175, have been obtained and the reaction proved to be tolerant and effective with a large range of olefin partners giving fair to high yields in metathesis products.

Performing carbonylation without the use of carbon monoxide for high-value-added products is an attractive yet challenging topic in sustainable chemistry. Herein, effective methods for producing linear aldehydes or alcohols selectively with formic acid as both carbon monoxide and hydrogen source have been described. Linear-selective hydroformylation of alkenes proceeds smoothly with up to 88 % yield and >30 regioselectivity in the presence of single Rh catalyst. Strikingly, introducing Ru into the system, the dual Rh/Ru catalysts accomplish efficient and regioselective hydroxymethylation in one pot. The present processes utilizing formic acid as syngas surrogate operate simply under mild condition, which opens a sustainable way for production of linear aldehydes and alcohols without the need for gas cylinders and autoclaves. As formic acid can be readily produced via CO2 hydrogenation, the protocols represent indirect approaches for chemical valorization of CO2.
Hydroformylation of natural olefins with the [Rh(COD)(μ-OMe)]2/TPPTS complex in BMI-BF4/toluene biphasic medium: Observations on the interfacial role of CTAB in reactive systems

The complex [Rh(COD)(μ-OMe)]2 in presence of TPPTS (TPPTS = triphenylphosphinetrisulfonate) was evaluated as catalyst precursor for the in situ hydroformylation of natural olefins (eugenol, estragole and safrole) in biphasic media BMIm-BF4/toluene. Under moderate reaction conditions, the substrates showed the following reactivity order: eugenol > estragole > safrole. The rhodium system showed a high activity and selectivity towards the desired aldehydes. It was found that the use of cetyltrimethylammoniun bromide (CTAB) as phase transfer agent inhibits the hydroformylation reaction. The catalytic phase can be recycled up to four times without evident loss of activity or selectivity. In this work we report the use of an ionic liquid with hydrophilic character, without using water in the reaction medium.

A general and efficient method for heterocyclization involving benzylic C(sp3)-H functionalization enabled by visible light photoredox catalysis to access a wide range of structurally diverse oxygen as well as nitrogen heterocycles up to a gram scale is reported. The potential application of this new methodology is demonstrated by the total synthesis of (-)-codonopsinine and (+)-centrolobine. Herein it is proposed that selectfluor, unlike a fluorinating reagent, acts as an oxidative quencher and a hydrogen radical acceptor.

Hydroformylation, also known as the "oxo" process, is a major industrial process that employs rhodium or cobalt catalysts in solution; therefore the solvent of this process is a critical issue for its sustainability. Although several innovative solutions have been proposed recently, traditional fossil-derived solvents dominate the scenario for this reaction. In this paper, we studied a series of solvents considered more sustainable in recent ranks in the hydroformylation of a series of olefins. Anisole, a solvent with an impressive sustainability rank and very scarcely exploited in hydroformylation, proved to be an excellent alternative for this reaction.

In this Communication, procedures for the selective synthesis of 4-arylbutanoic acids, 2-arylbutanoic acids, and 4-arylbutanals from the same allylbenzenes have been developed. With formic acid or TFBen as the CO surrogate, reactions proceed selectively and effectively under carbon monoxide gas-free conditions.

This work reports rhodium catalyzed selective hydroformylation of natural olefins like eugenol, estragole, anethole, prenol and isoprenol using biphenyl based Buchwald phosphine ligands (S-Phos (L1), t-Bu XPhos (L2), Ru-Phos (L3), Johnphos (L4) and DavePhos (L5). Ru-Phos (L3) ligand exhibited high impact on the hydroformylation of eugenol providing high selectivity (90%) of linear aldehyde as major product. In addition, internal natural olefins like anethole and prenol provided moderate to high selectivity (65% and 85% respectively) of branched aldehydes as a major products. The various reaction parameters such as influence of ligands, P/Rh ratio, syngas pressure, temperature, time and solvents have been studied. A high activity and selectivity gained on the way to the linear aldehydes it may be due to the bulky, steric cyclohexyl and isopropoxy groups present in L3 phosphine ligand. Moreover, this catalytic system was smoothly converting natural olefins into corresponding linear and branched aldehydes with higher selectivity under the mild reaction conditions.

Aldehydes are among the most versatile functional groups for synthetic chemistry. However, access to polysubstituted alkyl aldehydes is very limited and requires lengthy synthetic routes that involve multiple-step functional-group conversion. This paper reports a one-step synthesis of polysubstituted aldehydes from readily available olefin substrates using visible-light photoredox catalysis. Despite a number of competing reaction pathways, commercial styrenes react with vinyl ethers selectively in the presence of an acridinium salt photooxidant and a disulfide hydrogen-atom-transfer catalyst under blue LED irradiation. Alkyl aldehydes with different substitution patterns are prepared in good yields. This strategy can be applied to structurally sophisticated substrates.

The first catalytic oxygenative allylic transposition of unactivated alkenes into enones has been developed using an oxoammonium salt as the catalyst. This reaction converts various tri- and trans-disubstituted alkenes into their corresponding enones with transposition of their double bonds at ambient temperature in good yields. The use of a less-hindered azaadamantane-type oxoammonium salt as the catalyst and a combination of two distinct stoichiometric oxidants, namely, iodobenzene diacetate and magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate (MMPP?6 H2O) are essential to facilitate the enone formation efficiently.

We report herein the use of a dual catalytic system comprising a Lewis base catalyst such as quinuclidin-3-ol or 4-dimethylaminopyridine and a photoredox catalyst to generate carbon radicals from either boronic acids or esters. This system enabled a wide range of alkyl boronic esters and aryl or alkyl boronic acids to react with electron-deficient olefins via radical addition to efficiently form C?C coupled products in a redox-neutral fashion. The Lewis base catalyst was shown to form a redox-active complex with either the boronic esters or the trimeric form of the boronic acids (boroxines) in solution.
