A readily prepared O-oxiranylcarbinyl O-silyl ketene acetal has been used to bring about functionalisation at various types of saturated C-H group, through the intermediacy of an oxiranylcarbinyl radical that undergoes rapid ring opening to give a highly reactive allyloxyl radical.

A chemoselective method for the carbonylation of allylic substrates CH2=CHCH2X (X=OAc, OC(O)CH2CN, OPh, OEt, OC(O)OPh, OC(O)OiBu, N(H)C(O)Ph, N(Ph)C(O)Ph, N(H)Boc, N(Ph)Boc, Ph, CO2Bn, CN), leading to alkyl succinates with preservation of the X group, under Pd(II)-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation conditions, has been developed. Our method shows a completely different inverse chemoselectivity with respect to the “classical” substitutive carbonylation of the allyl compounds, which is known to provide β,γ-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives through the formation of a π-allylpalladium intermediate. An accurate study, carried out using allyl acetate as model substrate, allowed to maximize the selectivity in the envisioned 2-CH2X substituted succinates. The best catalyst is generated in situ by mixing Pd(TFA)2 (TFA=trifluoroacetate) and the N,N′-di(anthracen-9-yl)butane-2,3-diimine ligand. p-Benzoquinone was used as oxidant in presence of benzyl alcohol, which acts as a nucleophile and as a solvent, under 4 bar of CO at 20 °C. A combined effect of the ligand and the nucleophile, rationalized through DFT calculations, has been observed both in promoting the bis-alkoxycarbonylation process and in preventing π-allylpalladium-mediated side reactions, allowing the attainment of succinate derivatives with moderate to good yields.
Novel acyclic ligands. Part 1. Synthesis of some dicarboxamide derivatives

The synthesis of three novel acyclic bis(amino-substituted amides), 3, 4 and 5, each of which possesses a bridging carbon atom carrying a suitable amino-bearing functionality, is described. These compounds may serve as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging.
