Herein we report the enantioselective Heck-Matsuda arylation of acyclic E and Z-alkenyl aryl ethers. The reactions were carried out under mild conditions affording the enantioenriched benzyl ethers in a regioselective manner, moderate to good yields (up to 73%), and in good to excellent enantiomeric ratios (up to 97:3). The enantioselective Heck-Matsuda arylation has shown a broad scope (25 examples), and some key Heck-Matsuda adducts were further converted into more complex and valuable scaffolds including their synthetic application in the synthesis of (R)-Fluoxetine, (R)-Atomoxetine, and in the synthesis of an enantioenriched benzo[c]chromene. Finally, in silico mechanistic investigations into the reaction's enantioselectivity were performed using density functional theory. (Figure presented.).

Readily available phenols can be converted into substituted aryl alkynyl ethers, which react with an N-oxide as an oxidant and catalytic amounts of a Bronsted acid to provide benzofuranones. If non-terminal alkynyl ethers are applied, a 1,2-hydride shift takes place and phenyl acrylates are obtained. Thus activated alkynes can serve as α-oxy carbene precursors even in the absence of a metal catalyst. Copyright

We have devised a modular construction of electron-rich alkene derivatives from trichloroethylene (TCE). The three C-l bonds of TCE have sufficiently different reactivities that they can be sequentially and selectively functionalized. Following the substitution of one chlorine by phenol to generate (E)-1,2-dichlorovinyl ether, the C1-Cl group next participates in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with a variety of organometallic reagents. Subsequently, the C2-Cl group can engage in cross-couplings, while the C2-H may be deprotonated and quenched with an electrophile. Thus, isomerically pure tri- and tetrasubstituted electron-rich alkenes may be accessed in as few as two steps from simple and inexpensive starting materials. This method is ideally suited for diversity-oriented synthesis of highly conjugated molecules of interest as chromophores or as potential molecular electronics. It also gives access to diverse building blocks for further synthetic elaboration into high-value compounds.
