Electro-mediated PhotoRedox Catalysis for Selective C(sp3)–O Cleavages of Phosphinated Alcohols to Carbanions

We report a novel example of electro-mediated photoredox catalysis (e-PRC) in the reductive cleavage of C(sp3)?O bonds of phosphinated alcohols to alkyl carbanions. As well as deoxygenations, olefinations are reported which are E-selective and can be made Z-selective in a tandem reduction/photosensitization process where both steps are photoelectrochemically promoted. Spectroscopy, computation, and catalyst structural variations reveal that our new naphthalene monoimide-type catalyst allows for an intimate dispersive precomplexation of its radical anion form with the phosphinate substrate, facilitating a reactivity-determining C(sp3)?O cleavage. Surprisingly and in contrast to previously reported photoexcited radical anion chemistries, our conditions tolerate aryl chlorides/bromides and do not give rise to Birch-type reductions.

Heterogeneous Isomerization for Stereoselective Alkyne Hydrogenation to trans-Alkene Mediated by Frustrated Hydrogen Atoms

Stereoselective production of alkenes from the alkyne hydrogenation plays a crucial role in the chemical industry. However, for heterogeneous metal catalysts, the olefins in cis-configuration are usually dominant in the products due to the most important and common Horiuti-Polanyi mechanism involved over the metal surface. In this work, through combined theoretical and experimental investigations, we demonstrate a novel isomerization mechanism mediated by the frustrated hydrogen atoms via the H2 dissociation at the defect on solid surface, which can lead to the switch in selectivity from the cis-configuration to trans-configuration without overhydrogenation. The defective Rh2S3 with exposing facet of (110) exhibits outstanding performance as a heterogeneous metal catalyst for stereoselective production of trans-olefins. With the frustrated hydrogen atoms at spatially separated high-valence Rh sites, the isolated hydrogen mediated cis-to-trans isomerization of olefins can be effectively conducted and the overhydrogenation can be completely inhibited. Furthermore, the bifunctional Rh-S/Pd nanosheets have been synthesized through the surface modification of Pd nanosheets with rhodium and sulfide. With the selective semihydrogenation of alkynes into cis-olefins catalyzed by the small surface PdSx ensembles, the bifunctional Rh-S/Pd nanosheets exhibit excellent activity and stereoselectivity in the one-pot alkyne hydrogenation into trans-olefin, which surpasses the most reported homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts.

Ready approach to poly(vinyldiphenylphosphine): A novel soluble polymer for conveniently conducting Wittig reactions

The novel poly(vinyldiphenylphosphine) could be easily prepared by using the reactions of the cheap poly(vinyl chloride) with sodium phosphides. Poly(vinyldiphenylphosphine) is soluble in common solvents while its corresponding phosphine oxide is hardly soluble in the solvents. Taking advantage of this different solubility, poly(vinyldiphenylphosphine) could be used as a soluble phosphinopolymer for the Wittig reactions. The reactions could take place efficiently to produce the corresponding olefins while the isolation of the products were simple since the resulted poly(vinyldiphenylphosphine oxide) was not soluble in the solvent and could be easily removed by filtration.

Stereoselective Rhodium-Catalyzed Isomerization of Stereoisomeric Mixtures of Arylalkenes

A new efficient method for the synthesis of a high ratio of E -alkenes from E / Z mixtures of alkenes with B 2pin 2in the presence of a rhodium catalyst is described. This reaction features mild reaction conditions, broad functional group tolerance, and highly great application potential.

Acceptorless dehydrogenative construction of CN and CC bonds through catalytic aza-Wittig and Wittig reactions in the presence of an air-stable ruthenium pincer complex

The construction of CN bonds was achieved by the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohol and azide via aza-Wittig type reaction. The reaction is catalyzed by an acridine-derived ruthenium pincer complex and does not use any oxidant. The present protocol offers a wide substrate scope, including aliphatic, aryl or heteroaryl alcohol/azides. This expeditious protocol was successfully applied to construct a CC bond directly from alcohol via dehydrogenative Wittig reaction. Furthermore, the synthesis of structurally important pyrrolo[1,4]benzodiazepine derivatives was also achieved by this methodology.

Decarboxylative olefination of potassium benzoates via bimetallic catalysis strategy

Abstract: A novel synthesis of styrene derivatives through decaroxylative olefination of potassium benzoates with alkynes using Pd2dba3/CuBr as catalyst system has been developed. The protocol proceeded smoothly and in most cases Z-alkene was the main product. Electron-rich potassium benzoates reacted more efficiently than those of electron-deficient substrates. Heteroaromatic and electron-deficient aryl alkynes were not consistent with this transformation. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Ru-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation of Nitriles, Aromatics, Olefins, Alkynes and Esters

This paper reports the preparation of new ruthenium(II) complexes supported by a pyrazole-phosphine ligand and their application to transfer hydrogenation of various substrates. These Ru complexes were found to be efficient catalysts for the reduction of nitriles and olefins. Heterocyclic compounds undergo transfer hydrogenation with good to moderate yields, affording examples of unusual hydrogenation of all-carbon-rings. Internal alkynes with bulky substituents show selective reduction to olefins with the unusual E–selectivity. Esters with strong electron-withdrawing groups can be reduced to the corresponding alcohols, if ethanol is used as the solvent. Possible mechanisms of hydrogenation and olefin isomerization are suggested on the basis of kinetic studies and labelling experiments.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Dihydropyranones via Gold(I)-Catalyzed Intermolecular [4+2] Annulation of Propiolates and Alkenes

Intermolecular asymmetric gold catalysis involving alkyne activation presents a significant challenge due to its distinct mechanistic mode from other metals. Herein, we report a highly enantioselective synthesis of α,β-unsaturated δ-lactones from [4+2] annulation of propiolates and alkenes in upto 95 percent ee. Notably, for the desired chiral recognition, the choice of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane as solvent was found to be crucial. Furthermore, an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate) improved the product selectivity in the divergence of the cyclopropyl gold carbene intermediate.

Ligand-Controlled Cobalt-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation of Alkynes: Stereodivergent Synthesis of Z- and E-Alkenes

Herein, we report a novel cobalt-catalyzed stereodivergent transfer hydrogenation of alkynes to Z- and E-alkenes. Effective selectivity control is achieved based on a rational catalyst design. Moreover, this mild system allows for the transfer hydrogenation of alkynes bearing a wide range of functional groups in good yields using catalyst loadings as low as 0.2 mol %. The general applicability of this procedure is highlighted by the synthesis of more than 50 alkenes with good chemo- and stereoselectivity. A preliminary mechanistic study revealed that E-alkene product was generated via sequential alkyne hydrogenation to give Z-alkene intermediate, followed by a Z to E alkene isomerization process.

Wittig Reactions of Trialkylphosphine-derived Ylides: New Directions and Applications in Organic Synthesis

The development of semi-stabilized, stabilized, and functionalized ylides derived from short-chain trialkylphosphines in the Wittig-type olefination reactions toward the synthesis of alkenes, including stilbenes, styrenes, and 1,3-dienes, as well as reagents for homologation reactions, are described. The methods allow easy access to alkenes with high (E)-stereoselectivity in good yield. These reactions are conducted with weak bases in aqueous media, which allows easy separation of water-soluble phosphine oxides. The development of a mild organocatalytic process for the Wittig reaction and extension toward the preparation of reporter stilbenes under biological conditions are also described. Applications toward the preparation of biologically active natural products and derivatives are discussed.
