Isomerization of eugenol can be efficiently performed using 2.2 mol. equiv. of KOtBu and catalytic amount of transfer agent in the absence of solvent. The best conditions (94% within 18 minutes) were obtained in a focused open-vessel Maxidigest MX 350 microwave reactor.

We describe an efficient protocol for the regioselective isomerization of terminal alkenes employing a previously described bifunctional Ir-based PC(sp3)complex (4) possessing a hemilabile sidearm. The isomerization, catalyzed by 4, results in a one-step shift of the double bond in good to excellent selectivity, and good yield. Our mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction is driven by the stepwise migratory insertion of Ir?H species into the terminal double bond/β-H elimination events. However, the selectivity of the reaction is controlled by dissociation of the hemilabile sidearm, which acts as a selector, favoring less sterically hindered substrates such as terminal alkenes; importantly, it prevents recombination and further isomerization of the internal ones.

In catalytic double bond migration reaction, E-configuration olefins were normally generated as the dominant product because E-configuration was thermodynamically favored. However, Z-configuration products are sometimes desired in pharmaceutical chemistry owing to the structure-activity relationship. In this paper, we have demonstrated a new strategy that Lewis acid promoted an widely employed and convenient ruthenium(II) complex for the catalytic isomerization of O-allylethers, leading to thermodynamic-unfavored Z-product under mild conditions. The model substrate of allyl phenyl ether can be simply scaled up to 20 mmol to produce Z-product with TON of 2453 and TOF of 13,430 h?1 at 40–60 °C. The system of Ru(II)/Lewis Acid catalysts was suitable for various substituted O-allylethers and other types of substrates. Through mechanism study including kinetic study, ligand inhibition effect and molecular spectroscopy, the dissociation of PPh3 ligand by the addition of Lewis acid, and the formation a five-membered Ru complex from anchimeric assistance were both recognized as essential steps to improve the reactivity and to control the stereoselectivity of catalytic double bond migration reaction through metal hydride addition-elimination mechanism. This new strategy may provide a new opportunity to produce thermodynamic-unfavored product in heterocyclic compounds for pharmaceutical chemistry.

Half-sandwich ruthenium(II) complexes containing ν6-coordinated 3-phenylpropanol and phosphinous-acid-type ligands, namely, [RuCl2(ν6-C6H5CH2CH2CH2OH){P(OH)R2}] (R = Me (2a), Ph (2b), 4-C6H4CF3 (2c), 4-C6H4OMe (2d), OMe (2e), OEt (2f), and OPh (2g), have been synthesized in 44-88% yield by reacting [RuCl2{ν6:κ1(O)-C6H5CH2CH2CH2OH}] (1) with the appropriate pentavalent phosphorus oxide R2P(═O)H. The structure of [RuCl2(ν6-C6H5CH2CH2CH2OH){P(OH)Me2}] (2a) was unequivocally confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods. Compounds 2a-g proved to be catalytically active in the isomerization of allylbenzenes into the corresponding (1-propenyl)benzene derivatives employing water as the sole reaction solvent, with [RuCl2(ν6-C6H5CH2CH2CH2OH){P(OH)(OPh)2}] (2g) showing the best performance and a broad substrate scope (73-93% isolated yields with E/Z ratios around 90:10 employing 1 mol % of 2g and 3 mol % of K2CO3, and performing the catalytic reactions at 80 °C for 4-24 h). The results herein presented show for the first time the utility of phosphinous acids as auxiliary ligands for metal-catalyzed olefin isomerization processes, reactions in which a cooperative role for the P - OH unit is proposed. On the other hand, the utility of complexes 2a-g as catalysts for ortho-arylation reactions of 2-phenylpyridine in water is also briefly discussed.

A homogenous metal hydride (M?H) catalyst for isomerization normally requires rigorous air-free techniques. Here, we demonstrate a highly efficient protocol in which simple non-redox metal ions as Lewis acids can promote olefin isomerization dramatically with a commercially available RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 complex in an open-flask system. Isomerization can be accomplished within a short time, and a satisfactory selectivity for different types of unsaturated compounds can be obtained. Meanwhile, an excellent turnover number up to 17208 was achieved under air, and open-flask gram-scale experiments further demonstrated the efficiency of the RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3/non-redox-metals system. We used FTIR spectroscopy, GC–MS, NMR spectroscopy and kinetics studies to evidence that in the sluggish RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 catalyst, bloated PPh3 ligands cause steric hindrance for the coordination of the free alkene. Alternatively, the addition of non-redox metal ions could induce the dissociation of the PPh3 ligand to offer unoccupied coordination sites for the alkene and to form the Mg-bridged adduct OC?Ru?H2?Mg2+ as the highly active species, which benefited the isomerization significantly through the metal hydride addition–elimination pathway. Finally, this strategy was demonstrated as an impactful approach for hydride catalysts of other transition metals such as Os.
Pd-Boron-Catalyzed One Carbon Isomerization of Olefins: Water Assisted Process at Room Temperature

, p. 4859 - 4865 (2017/05/12)
A palladium-boronate/borane-system -catalyzed isomerization of olefins has been uncovered. An efficient catalytic combination of [Pd(OAc)2]3-boronate-PCy3-enabled olefin isomerization at 80 °C has been investigated. Addition of water to the reaction showed a remarkable improvement and the isomerization occurred at ambient temperature. These catalytic systems function efficiently for the isomerization of functionalized as well as unfunctionalized olefins. The catalytic conditions demonstrate the involvement of both nonhydride and metal-hydride medium and can be switchable with water as an additive.

A copper-doped porous metal oxide catalyst in combination with hydrogen shows selective and quantitative hydrogenolysis of benzyl ketones and aldehydes, and hydrogenation of alkenes. The approach provides an alternative to noble-metal catalysed reductions and stoichiometric Wolff-Kishner and Clemmensen methods.

Redox metal-ion-catalyzed olefin isomerization represents one of the important chemical processes. This work illustrates that nonredox metal ions can sharply accelerate Pd(II)-catalyzed olefin isomerization, while Pd(II) alone is very sluggish. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ultraviolet-visible light (UV-vis) characterizations disclosed that the acceleration effect originates from the formation of heterobimetallic Pd(II) species with added nonredox metal ions, which improves the C-H activation capability of the Pd(II) moiety. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further confirmed the sharp decrease of the energy barrier in C-H activation by the heterobimetallic Pd(II)/Al(III) species.
