The One-pot Encapsulation of Palladium Complexes into Covalent Organic Frameworks Enables the Alkoxycarbonylation of Olefins

In this study, palladium-based heterogeneous catalysts were successfully prepared by encapsulating the palladium diphosphine complexes into an imine-linked 2D-COF (TPB-DMTP-COF) through a one pot self-assembly approach. It not only prevents the oxidation of phosphine-based ligand during the stepwise impregnation but also suppresses the coordination of imine linkers at the COF host to the palladium guest, thus enabling highly efficient encapsulation of the active bidentate phosphine chelated palladium complex by the widely explored imine-linked COF. Besides, the dosage of diphosphine ligand (Xantphos-SO3H, L) and the ratio of palladium to L in the preparation of [Pd]@COF hybrids can be readily adjusted under such one pot procedure to satisfy the requirement of crystallinity, porosity, active sites, and CO adsorption capacity for the catalytic performance in the methoxycarbonylation of olefins. The resultant [Pd]@COF-A-0.25-0.5 provides satisfied catalytic performance for both aliphatic and aromatic olefins with total esters up to 92.1 % under optimized conditions. These findings provide the basis for a novel design concept to design heterogeneous catalysts with high efficiency for reaction processes comprising the alkoxycarbonylation of olefins.

Manganese-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation of ketones and conjugate reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives: A chemoselective, robust, and phosphine-free in situ-protocol

We communicate a user-friendly and glove-box-free catalytic protocol for the manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of ketones and conjugated C[dbnd]C[sbnd]bonds of esters and nitriles. The respective catalyst is readily assembled in situ from the privileged [Mn(CO)5Br] precursor and cheap 2-picolylamine. The catalytic transformations were performed in the presence of t-BuOK whereby the corresponding hydrogenation products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The described system offers a brisk and atom-efficient access to both secondary alcohols and saturated esters avoiding the use of oxygen-sensitive and expensive phosphine-based ligands.

Aldehyde as a Traceless Directing Group for Regioselective C-H Alkylation Catalyzed by Rhodium(III) in Air

The aromatic aldehyde as a traceless directing group for the regionselective C-H alkylation catalyzed by rhodium(III) under aerobic atmospheric conditions has been developed. The process involves an aldehyde assisted direct addition of C-H bond to unsaturated electrophiles of acrylates or acrylic acids, and the subsequent decarbonylation. A trace amount of water is found to favor the reaction.

Ni-catalyzed direct alcoholysis of N-acylpyrrole-type tertiary amides under mild conditions

N-Acylpyrrole-type amides are a class of versatile building blocks in asymmetric synthesis. We report that by employing Ni(COD)2/2,2′-bipyridine (5 mol%) catalytic system, the direct, catalytic alcoholysis of N-acylpyrrole-type aromatic and aliphatic amides with both primary and secondary alcohols can be achieved efficiently under very mild conditions (rt, 1 h) even at gram scale. By increasing the catalyst loading to 10 mol%, prolonging reaction time (18 h), and/or elevating reaction temperature to 50 °C/80 °C, the reaction could be extended to both complex and hindered N-acylpyrroles as well as to N-acylpyrazoles, Nacylindoles, and to other (functionalized) primary and secondary alcohols. In all cases, only 1.5 equiv. of alcohol were used. The value of the method has been demonstrated by the racemization-free, catalytic alcoholysis of chiral amides yielded from other asymmetric methodologies.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Remote C(sp3)?H Borylation of Silyl Enol Ethers

A rhodium-catalyzed remote C(sp3)?H borylation of silyl enol ethers (SEEs, E/Z mixtures) by alkene isomerization and hydroboration is reported. The reaction exhibits mild reaction conditions and excellent functional-group tolerance. This method is compatible with an array of SEEs, including linear and branched SEEs derived from aldehydes and ketones, and provides direct access to a broad range of structurally diverse 1,n-borylethers in excellent regioselectivities and good yields. These compounds are precursors to various valuable chemicals, such as 1,n-diols and aminoalcohols.

Iron-catalysed 1,2-aryl migration of tertiary azides

1,2-Aryl migration of α,α-diaryl tertiary azides was achieved by using the catalytic system of FeCl2/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) SIPr·HCl. The reaction generated aniline products in good yields after one-pot reduction of the migration-resultant imines.

Harnessing Applied Potential: Selective β-Hydrocarboxylation of Substituted Olefins

The construction of carboxylic acid compounds in a selective fashion from low value materials such as alkenes remains a long-standing challenge to synthetic chemists. In particular, β-addition to styrenes is underdeveloped. Herein we report a new electrosynthetic approach to the selective hydrocarboxylation of alkenes that overcomes the limitations of current transition metal and photochemical approaches. The reported method allows unprecedented direct access to carboxylic acids derived from β,β-trisubstituted alkenes, in a highly regioselective manner.

Palladium-Catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of sec-Benzylic Ethers

Herein, we report the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of 3-arylpropionate esters starting from secondary benzylic ethers. With this investigation it could be shown that ethers are suitable starting materials in addition to the established carbonylation reactions of olefins, alcohols, or aryl halides.

Cobalt(II)-Catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of Aliphatic Amines via C-N Bond Activation

The first cobalt-catalyzed deaminative alkoxycarbonylation reaction was described for the conversion of readily available primary alkyl amines to synthetically versatile esters with moderate to high yields. This transformation shows good functional group compatibility and can serve as a powerful tool for the modification of alkyl amine-containing complex natural products and drug molecules.

Remote Functionalization of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyls by Multimetallic Sequential Catalysis

The remote functionalization of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls by an array of multimetallic sequential catalytic systems is described. The reactions are triggered by hydrometalation using [Pd-H] or [Ru-H] isomerization catalysts and driven by the formation of thermodynamically more stable 1,2-vinyl arenes. The Pd-catalyzed deconjugative isomerization was combined with a Cu-catalyzed β-borylation of the transiently generated styrenyl derivatives to deliver a range of products that would not be accessible with the use of a single catalyst. [Pd/Cu] catalytic systems were also identified for the highly enantioselective α-hydroboration and α-hydroamination of the styrenyl intermediates. Difunctionalization simultaneously at the benzylic and homobenzylic positions was achieved by combining the isomerization process with Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (SAD) using [Pd/Os] or [Ru/Os] couples. Starting from a simple α,β-unsaturated ester, an isomerization/dihydroxylation/lactonization sequence gave access to a naturally occurring γ-butyrolactone in good yield, with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
