The catalytic transposition of double bonds holds promise as an ideal route to alkenes of value as fragrances, commodity chemicals, and pharmaceuticals; yet, selective access to specific isomers is a challenge, normally requiring independent development of different catalysts for different products. In this work, a single cation-responsive iridium catalyst selectively produces either of two different internal alkene isomers. In the absence of salts, a single positional isomerization of 1-butene derivatives furnishes 2-alkenes with exceptional regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. The same catalyst, in the presence of Na+, mediates two positional isomerizations to produce 3-alkenes. The synthesis of new iridium pincer-crown ether catalysts based on an aza-18-crown-6 ether proved instrumental in achieving cation-controlled selectivity. Experimental and computational studies guided the development of a mechanistic model that explains the observed selectivity for various functionalized 1-butenes, providing insight into strategies for catalyst development based on noncovalent modifications.
Nickel-Catalysed Allylboration of Aldehydes
Dennis, Francesca M.,Partridge, Benjamin M.,Robertson, Craig C.
, p. 1903 - 1914 (2020/07/04)
A nickel catalyst for the allylboration of aldehydes is reported, facilitating the preparation of homoallylic alcohols in high diastereoselectivity. The observed diastereoselectivities and NMR experiments suggest that allylation occurs through a well-defined six-membered transition state, with nickel acting as a Lewis acid.

An enantioconvergent synthesis of chiral cyclic allylboronates from racemic allylic bromides was achieved by using a guanidine–copper catalyst. The allylboronates were obtained with high γ/α regioselectivities (up to 99:1) and enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee), and could be further transformed into diverse functionalized allylic compounds without erosion of optical purity. Experimental and DFT mechanistic studies support an SN2′ borylation process catalyzed by a monodentate guanidine–copper(I) complex that proceeds through a special direct enantioconvergent transformation mechanism.
Selective Isomerization of Terminal Alkenes to (Z)-2-Alkenes Catalyzed by an Air-Stable Molybdenum(0) Complex

Positional and stereochemical selectivity in the isomerization of terminal alkenes to internal alkenes is observed using the cis-Mo(CO)4(PPh3)2 precatalyst. A p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) cocatalyst is essential for catalyst activity. Various functionalized terminal alkenes have been converted to the corresponding 2-alkenes, generally favoring the Z isomer with selectivity as high as 8:1 Z:E at high conversion. Interrogation of the catalyst initiation mechanism by 31P NMR reveals that cis-Mo(CO)4(PPh3)2 reacts with TsOH at elevated temperatures to yield a phosphine-ligated Mo hydride (MoH) species. Catalysis may proceed via 2,1-insertion of a terminal alkene into a MoH group and stereoselective β-hydride elimination to yield the (Z)-2-alkene.

A highly reactive nickel catalyst comprising NiCl2(dppp) or NiCl2(dppe) with zinc powder, ZnI2 and Ph2PH, was applied in the isomerization of terminal alkenes to Z-2-alkenes. The double-bond geometry of the 2-alkene can be controlled via the reaction temperature to yield the 2-Z-alkenes in excellent yields and high Z-selectivities. The formation of other constitutional isomers, such as 3-alkenes, is suppressed on the basis of the proposed mechanism via a 1,2-hydride shift from the metal to the Ph2P ligand. The nickel-catalyzed isomerization reaction was then applied in the synthesis of (9Z,12Z)-tetradeca-9,12-dienyl acetate, a pheromone with a 2Z,5Z-diene subunit.
An alternative mechanism for the cobalt-catalyzed isomerization of terminal alkenes to (Z)-2-alkenes

The cobalt-catalyzed selective isomerization of terminal alkenes to the thermodynamically less-stable (Z)-2-alkenes at ambient temperatures takes place by a new mechanism involving the transfer of a hydrogen atom from a Ph2PH ligand to the starting material and the formation of a phosphenium complex, which recycles the Ph2PH complex through a 1,2-H shift.

We report a highly diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of anti homoallylic alcohols from terminal alkynes via (E)-1-alkenylboronates based upon two catalytic reactions: a cationic iridium complex-catalyzed olefin transposition of (E)-1-alkenylboronates and a chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed allylation reaction of aldehydes.

Two highly efficient and convenient methods for the synthesis of functionalized and substituted allylic boronates are described. In one procedure, readily available allylic acetates are converted to allylic boronates catalyzed by Ni/PCy3 or Ni/PPh3 complexes with high levels of stereoselectivity and in good yields. Alternatively, the borylation can be accomplished with commercially available Pd catalysts [e.g., Pd 2(dba)3, PdCl2, Pd/C], starting with easily accessed allylic halides.
