A simple method for the cross β-alkylation of linear alcohols with benzyl alcohols in the presence of DMF-stabilized iridium nanoparticles was developed. The nanoparticles were prepared in one-step and thoroughly characterized. Furthermore, the optimum reaction conditions have a wide substrate scope and excellent product selectivity.

Optically active β-alkyl substituted γ-lactones and whiskey lactone analogues were synthesized, and the odor properties were evaluated. During the preparation of the chiral intermediates, we found good reaction conditions for the highly enantioselective esterification of 3-arylmethyl-2-methyl-1-propanols to kinetically resolve them. The results of the olfactory evaluations of the synthesized lactones revealed that the alkyl groups on the γ-lactone rings played an important role for the odor profiles.

We report the incorporation of large substituents based on heavy main-group elements that are atypical in ligand architectures to enhance dispersion interactions and, thereby, enhance enantioselectivity. Specifically, we prepared the chiral biaryl bisphosphine ligand (TMG-SYNPHOS) containing 3,5-bis(trimethylgermanyl)phenyl groups on phosphorus and applied this ligand to the challenging problem of enantioselective hydrofunctionalization reactions of 1,1-disubtituted alkenes. Indeed, TMG-SYNPHOS forms a copper complex that catalyzes hydroboration of 1,1-disubtituted alkenes with high levels of enantioselectivity, even when the two substituents are both primary alkyl groups. In addition, copper catalysts bearing ligands possessing germanyl groups were much more active for hydroboration than one derived from DTBM-SEGPHOS, a ligand containing 3,5-di-tert-butyl groups and widely used for copper-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization. This observation led to the identification of DTMGM-SEGPHOS, a bisphosphine ligand bearing 3,5-bis(trimethylgermanyl)-4-methoxyphenyl groups as the substituents on the phosphorus, as a new ligand that forms a highly active catalyst for hydroboration of unactivated 1,2-disubstituted alkenes, a class of substrates that has not readily undergone copper-catalyzed hydroboration previously. Computational studies revealed that the enantioselectivity and catalytic efficiency of the germanyl-substituted ligands is higher than that of the silyl and tert-butyl-substituted analogues because of attractive dispersion interactions between the bulky trimethylgermanyl groups on the ancillary ligand and the alkene substrate and that Pauli repulsive interactions tended to decrease enantioselectivity.

A simple method has been developed for the cross dehydrogenative coupling between two different primary alcohols using readily available RuCl2(PPh3)3 as a precatalyst through the borrowing-hydrogen approach. The present methodology is applicable to a large variety of alcohol derivatives including long chain aliphatic alcohols and heteroaryl alcohols. In addition, the methodology was applied in a straightforward protocol to synthesize commercially available fragrances such as Rosaphen and Cyclamenaldehyde in good yields.
Nickel-Catalyzed Asymmetric Kumada Cross-Coupling of Symmetric Cyclic Sulfates
Eno, Meredith S.,Lu, Alexander,Morken, James P.
, p. 7824 - 7827 (2016/07/11)
Nickel-catalyzed enantioselective cross-couplings between symmetric cyclic sulfates and aromatic Grignard reagents are described. These reactions are effective with a broad range of substituted cyclic sulfates and deliver products with asymmetric tertiary carbon centers. Mechanistic experiments point to a stereoinvertive SN2-like oxidative addition of a nickel complex to the electrophilic substrate.

The chemo- and enantioselectivity of the reaction of alkenes with AlEt3 catalyzed by bis(1-neomenthylindenyl)zirconium dichloride has been studied. The reaction with linear alkenes in a chlorinated solvent (CH2Cl2) gives m
First practical cross-alkylation of primary alcohols with a new and recyclable impregnated iridium on magnetite catalyst

supporting information; experimental part, p. 7628 - 7630 (2012/09/25)
A new impregnated iridium on magnetite catalyst has been prepared, characterized, used and recycled, up to ten times with practically the same activity, for the first practical cross-alkylation of primary alcohols. The catalyst showed a wide reaction scope, is easy to prepare and handle, and it could be removed from the reaction medium just by magnetic sequestering.
LiAlH4-induced reductive dephosphonylation of αα-dialkyl triethyl β-phosphonyl esters: Mechanistic study and synthetic application
Zhu, Jia-Liang,Bau, Jr-Sheng,Shih, You-Cheng
experimental part, p. 863 - 866 (2012/05/20)
Treatment of αα-dialkyl triethyl β-phosphonyl esters with LiAlHin CHlTHF caused the one-pot dephosphonylation and reduction to yield the corresponding primary alcohols bearing a controllable β secondary carbon center. Mechanistic study has revealed that the LiAlHinduced dephosphonylation should occur first with the assistance of the carboxylate group, and the hydrogen source of the resultant new C-H bond is LiAlH.

An asymmetric synthesis of α-amino acids with novel β-branched side chains has been implemented. The syntheses feature a p-toluenesulfinylimine induced chiral Strecker approach and were found to be applicable to the introduction of both aliphatic and aromatic β-branched sidechains for preparation of previously unknown α-amino acids.

The proclivity of α-branched N-2′-benzyl-3′-phenylpropionyl derivatives of (S)-4-benzyl-5,5-dimethyl-, (S)-4-phenyl-5,5-dimethyl-, (S)-4-isopropyl-5,5-dimethyl-, (S)-4-benzyl- and (S)-4-benzyl-5,5-diphenyl-oxazolidin-2-ones to generate directly 2-benzyl-3-phenylpropionaldehyde upon hydride reduction with DIBAL is investigated. The (S)-4-benzyl-5,5-dimethyl-derivative proved optimal for inhibition of endocyclic nucleophilic attack, giving 2-benzyl-3-phenylpropionaldehyde in good yield upon reduction. Application of this methodology for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral aldehydes via diastereoselective enolate alkylation of a range of (S)-N-acyl-4-benzyl-5,5-dimethyloxazolidin-2-ones to afford an array of α-substituted-N-acyl-5,5-dimethyloxazolidin-2-ones (85-94% de) and subsequent reduction with DIBAL afforded directly non-racemic α-substituted aldehydes without loss of stereochemical integrity (87-94% ee). The extension of this protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of β-substituted aldehydes is demonstrated, via the diastereoselective conjugate addition of a range of organocuprates to (S)-N-acyl-4-phenyl-5,5-dimethyloxazolidin-2-ones which proceeds with high diastereoselectivity (generally >95% de). Reduction of the conjugate addition products with DIBAL gives non-racemic β-substituted aldehydes in high yields and in high ee (generally >95% ee). This methodology is exemplified by the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-3-isopropenylhept-6-enal, which has previously been used in the synthesis of (3Z,6R)-3-methyl-6-isopropenyl-3,9-decadien-1-yl acetate, a component of the sex pheromones of the California red scale.
