Hydroformylation catalyzed by transition metals is one of the most important homogeneously catalyzed reactions in industrial organic chemistry. Millions of tons of aldehydes and related chemicals are produced by this transformation annually. However, most of the applied procedures use rhodium catalysts. In the procedure described here, a copper-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes has been realized. Remarkably, by using a different copper precursor, the aldehydes obtained can be further hydrogenated to give the corresponding alcohols under the same conditions, formally named as hydroxymethylation of alkenes. Under pressure of syngas, various aldehydes and alcohols can be produced from alkenes with copper as the only catalyst, in excellent regioselectivity. Additionally, an all-carbon quaternary center containing ethers and formates can be synthesized as well with the addition of unactivated alkyl halides. A possible reaction pathway is proposed based on our results. This journal is

This work detailed the preparation of a class of water-soluble PNP ligands that differed by the nature of the substitute on phenyl ring of ligands. These ligands were incorporated into water-soluble rhodium-PNP complex catalysts that were used to regioselective hydroformylation of a series of terminal arylalkenes, providing efficient access to rac-α-aryl propionaldehydes in good to excellent yield (up to 97%) and branched-regioselectivity (up to 40:1 b/l ratio). Furthermore, gram-scale and diverse synthetic transformation demonstrated synthetic application of this methodology for non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs.

A palladium-catalyzed allenamide carbopalladation/allylation with active methine compounds has been developed. Various indoles and isoquinolinones bearing a quaternary carbon center were achieved with good efficiency, a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. This reaction underwent cascade oxidative addition, carbopalladation, and allylic alkylation, and two new C-C bonds were formed in one pot.

The condensation reaction of resorcinol with pentanal yielded resorcin[4]arene 1 which on bromination using N-bromosuccinimide at room temperature produced tetra-bromide derivative 2. The reactions of 2 with chlorodiphenylphosphine and o-phenylenephosphoro-chloridite yielded octaphosphinite 3 (hereafter referred to as octaphos) and octaphosphite 4, respectively. The reactions of 3 with Ni(COD)2 or Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 in appropriate molar ratios yielded tetra-pincer complexes 5 and 6, respectively. The structures of both the complexes were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The resorcin[4]arene backbone adopts a boat structure in these complexes. Typically, the Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of styrene prevalently delivers a branched (b) chiral aldehyde. A unique resorcin[4]arene skeleton based octaphos 3 was employed in the Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of styrene. The hydroformylation of styrene with a metal to ligand ratio of 1:1 (M:L) was found to be regioselective, producing a linear (l) aldehyde as a major product with 100% conversion in 3 h. The l:b ratio surprisingly increased when the ortho positions of styrene were populated by methyl and chloro substituents. The hydroformylation of p-nitro styrene triggered a remarkably high linear:branched aldehyde ratio of 2.4 (71% linear aldehyde) despite its electron withdrawing nature. The highest linear selectivity of 97% (l:b ratio 27.8) was achieved in the case of 2,4,6-trimethylstyrene.

A new catalytic methodology was developed to promote an efficient one-pot kinetic resolution of racemic aldehydes with selectivity (s*) of up to 91 (99:1 d.r., >99 % ee) in a cycloaddition reaction with enolizable anhydrides to afford dihydroisocoumarin products (a core prevalent in natural products and molecules of medicinal interest) containing three contiguous stereocentres.

A mild and operationally simple copper-catalyzed vinylogous aerobic oxidation of β,γ- and α,β-unsaturated esters is described. This method features good yields, broad substrate scope, excellent chemo- and regioselectivity, and good functional group tolerance. This method is additionally capable of oxidizing β,γ- and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, amides, nitriles, and sulfones. Furthermore, the present catalytic system is suitable for bisvinylogous and trisvinylogous oxidation. Tetramethylguanidine (TMG) was found to be crucial in its role as a base, but we also speculate that it serves as a ligand to copper(II) triflate to produce the active copper(II) catalyst. Mechanistic experiments conducted suggest a plausible reaction pathway via an allylcopper(II) species. Finally, the breadth of scope and power of this methodology are demonstrated through its application to complex natural product substrates.

A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric α-allylation of aldehydes with alkynes has been established by integrating the catalysis of enamine and chiral hydridopalladium complex that is reversibly formed from the oxidative addition of Pd(0) to chiral phosphoric acid. The ternary catalyst system, consisting of an achiral palladium complex, a primary amine, and a chiral phosphoric acid allows the reaction to tolerate a wide scope of α,α-disubstituted aldehydes and alkynes, affording the corresponding allylation products in high yields and with excellent levels of enantioselectivity.

Using a rhodium complex of a bisphosphine ligand (R)-SDP, β-branched simple enamides with a (Z)-configuration were hydrogenated to β-stereogenic amines in quantitative yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (88-96% ee).
Pummerer Cyclization Revisited: Unraveling of Acyl Oxonium Ion and Vinyl Sulfide Pathways
Li, Xin,Carter, Rich G.
, p. 5541 - 5545 (2018/09/25)
Two viable pathways (vinyl sulfide and acyl oxonium ion) for the Pummerer cyclization have been unraveled that expand the reaction scope and capabilities. Use of Br?nsted-enhanced Lewis acidity was key to realization of the vinyl sulfide pathway, whereas selective complexation of the sulfur lone pair facilitated the unprecedented acyl oxonium ion pathway. Preliminary mechanistic investigations support these hypotheses. A range of substrates have been explored to understand the reaction parameters.

The coordination chemistry of bisphosphine ligands assembled on the five-membered heterocyclic platform of bis(azol-1-yl)methane viz.: bis(2-diphenylphosphinoimidazol-1-yl)methane (1), bis(5-diphenylphosphinopyrazol-1-yl)methane (2) and bis(5-diphenylphosphino-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane (3) with RuII, RhI, PdII and PtII is described. The bisphosphines 1-3 react with elemental selenium to give the corresponding bis-selenoyl derivatives 4-6. The reactions of 1-3 with transition metal derivatives produce complexes with different coordination modes. Bisphosphine 1 showed a preference for the κ2-P,P mode of coordination, whereas bisphosphines 2 and 3, besides the κ2-P,P mode also showed a head-to-tail κ2-P,N coordination mode resulting in the formation of binuclear complexes [Rh2(COD)2{(CH2(1,2-C3H2N2PPh2)2)-κ2P,N}][BF4]2 (14), [Rh2(COD)2{(CH2(1,2,4-C2HN3PPh2)2)-κ2P,N}][BF4]2 (15), [Pd2(η3-C3H5)2{(CH2(1,2-C3H2N2PPh2)2)-κ2P,N}][BF4]2 (21) and [Pd2(η3-C3H5)2{(CH2(1,2,4-C2HN3PPh2)2)-κ2P,N}][BF4]2 (22). Several of these complexes have also been structurally characterized. The in situ generated RhI complex of bisphosphine 1 showed moderate to good selectivity in the hydroformylation of various styrene derivatives.
