Chiral-Anion-Mediated Asymmetric Heck-Matsuda Reaction of Acyclic Alkenyl Alcohols

Acyclic internal alkenes are a class of challenging substrates in asymmetric Heck-type reactions due to difficulties related to both reactivity and selectivity control. Employing acyclic alkenyl alcohols, an asymmetric Heck-Matsuda reaction is developed through the strategy of chiral anion phase transfer. Various chiral ketones could be obtained in high levels of enantioselectivity. A catalytic amount of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an additive is crucial for the reaction to suppress the palladium-hydride-mediated side reactions.

Asymmetric Umpolung Hydrogenation and Deuteration of Alkenes Catalyzed by Nickel

Nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of several types of alkenes proceeds in high enantioselectivity, using acetic acid or water as the hydrogen source and indium powder as electron donor. The scope of alkenes herein include α,β-unsaturated esters, n

Rhenium-catalyzed α-alkylation of enol acetates with alcohols or ethers

When benzylic and allylic alcohols were treated with enol acetate in the presence of a catalytic amount of a rhenium complex, ReBr(CO)5, the carbon-carbon bond formation of the alcohols and enol acetate smoothly proceeded to give the corresponding ketones and aldehyde in moderate to good yields. For the reaction of allylic alcohols, γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were obtained in good yields. When ethers were used instead of alcohols as the alkylated agent, two alkyl moieties on the ethers were utilized on the reaction.

Probing the Evolution of Palladium Species in Pd@MOF Catalysts during the Heck Coupling Reaction: An Operando X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Study

The mechanism of the Heck C-C coupling reaction catalyzed by Pd@MOFs has been investigated using operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) combined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) kinetic studies. A custom-made reaction cell was used, allowing operando PXRD and XAS data collection using high-energy synchrotron radiation. By analyzing the XAS data in combination with ex situ studies, the evolution of the palladium species is followed from the as-synthesized to its deactivated form. An adaptive reaction mechanism is proposed. Mononuclear Pd(II) complexes are found to be the dominant active species at the beginning of the reaction, which then gradually transform into Pd nanoclusters with 13-20 Pd atoms on average in later catalytic turnovers. Consumption of available reagent and substrate leads to coordination of Cl- ions to their surfaces, which causes the poisoning of the active sites. By understanding the deactivation process, it was possible to tune the reaction conditions and prolong the lifetime of the catalyst.

Palladium-catalyzed site-selective arylation of aliphatic ketones enabled by a transient ligand

Transition metal-catalyzed direct C-H bond functionalization enabled by transient ligands has become an attractive topic. Here we report a palladium-catalyzed site-selective arylation of β-C(sp3)-H bonds in aliphatic ketones with β-alanine as the transient ligand.

Rhenium complex-catalyzed coupling reaction of enol acetates with alcohols

The reaction of enol acetates with alcohols in the presence of a catalytic amount of a rhenium complex, such as ReBr(CO)5, produced the corresponding ketones and aldehydes in moderate to good yields. It was suggested that the preparation of an ether, an intermolecular dehydrated product, was the first step of the reaction.

Vinyl polymerization versus [1,3] O to C rearrangement in the ruthenium-catalyzed reactions of vinyl ethers with hydrosilanes

Two reactions, vinyl polymerization and [1,3] O to C rearrangement of vinyl ethers, are investigated in the ruthenium-catalyzed reaction with hydrosilanes. The reaction pathways are dependent on the substituents of the vinyl ether, in particular, those of the alkoxy group. Primary-, secondary-, and tertiary-alkyl vinyl ethers, ROCHCH2, are polymerized with ease to give the corresponding polymer in good yields. When R is electron-donating benzyl groups, the reaction does not give the polyvinyl ether but results in [1,3] O to C rearrangement to give the corresponding aldehyde, RCH2CHO in moderate to good yields. The rearrangement selectively proceeds when vinyl ethers having α-substituents are used as the starting materials to give the corresponding ketones in high yields. With catalytic amounts of hydrosilanes, the rearrangement gives ketones or aldehydes selectively. In sharp contrast, use of excess amounts of hydrosilanes leads to the rearrangement followed by reduction of the formed carbonyl group to give the corresponding silyl ethers in good yields. Nature of catalytically active species is discussed. Crown Copyright

Regioselective reductions of β,β-disubstituted enones catalyzed by nonracemically ligated copper hydride

CuH-catalyzed 1,2-additions to β,β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated ketones have been further explored. Asymmetric reductions of enones lacking an α-substituent can be achieved with CuH complexed by DTBM-SEGPHOS in Et2O at -25 °C leading to the ge

InCl3/Me3SiBr-catalyzed direct coupling between silyl ethers and enol acetates

A combined Lewis acid catalyst of InCl3 and Me3SiBr promoted the direct use of enol acetates in the coupling with low-reactive silyl ethers, in which functional groups including ketones and aldehydes survived. Sterically hindered silyl ethers such as ROSiEt3, ROSiPh3, ROSit-BuMe2, and ROSii-Pr3 were also applicable.

Synthesis of β-aryl ketones by tetraphosphine/palladium catalysed Heck reactions of 2- or 3-substituted allylic alcohols with aryl bromides

Through the use of [PdCl(C3H5)]2/cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane as a catalyst, a range of aryl bromides undergoes Heck reaction using 2- or 3-subtituted allylic alcohols. With these sterically congested alkenes, the selective formation of β-aryl ketones was observed when appropriate reaction conditions were used. The influence of the functional group on the aryl bromide and of the base on the selectivity is remarkable. With several substrates, much higher selectivities were obtained using NaHCO3 instead of K2CO3 as base. Furthermore, this catalyst can be used at low loading with several substrates.
