A Pd-catalyzed highly regioselective hydrocarboxylation of alkynes with carbon dioxide has been established. By the combination of Pd(PPh3)4 and 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene (binap), a variety of functionalized alkynes, including aryl alkynes, aliphatic alkynes, propargylamines, and propargyl ethers, could be leveraged to provide a wide array of α-acrylic acids in high yields with high regioselectivity under mild reaction conditions. Experimental and DFT mechanistic studies revealed that this reaction proceeded via the cyclopalladation process of alkynes and carbon dioxide in the presence of binap to generate a five-membered palladalactone intermediate and enabled the formation of Markovnikov adducts. Moreover, this strategy provided an effective method for the late-stage functionalization of alkyne-containing complicated molecules, including natural products and pharmaceuticals.

Organocatalytic conjugate addition of thiols to R-substituted N-acryloyloxazolidin-2-ones followed by asymmetric protonation has been studied in the presence of cinchona alkaloid derived thioureas. Both of the enantiomers are accessible with the same level of enantioselectivity using pseudoenantiomeric quinine/quinidine derived catalysts. The addition/protonation products have been converted to useful biologically active molecules. 2011 American Chemical Society.

The invention relates to a process for preparing α-hydroxy-alkanoic acids of general formula: STR1 in which R represents hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical and Cy represents phenyl or a heterocyclic radical, both radicals optionally comprising one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl radicals and halogen atoms, process which comprises the treatment of an α,α-dihalogenated ketone of general formula: STR2 in which R and Cy have the same meaning as above and X represents chlorine, bromine or iodine, in the presence of an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide and a non polar organic solvent selected from an aromatic or alicyclic hydrocarbon, the treatment being carried out at a temperature between the boiling temperature of the reaction medium at atmospheric pressure and 240° C. under pressure and the alkali metal so formed is then acidified to obtain the desired acid.
