The palladium catalyzed oxidation of alkenes with molecular oxygen is a synthetically important reaction which employs palladium catalysts in solution; therefore, a solvent plays a critical role for the process. In this study, we have tested several green solvents as a reaction medium for the allylic oxidation of a series of alkenes. Dimethylcarbonate, methyl isobutyl ketone, and propylene carbonate, solvents with impressive sustainability ranks and very scarcely exploited in palladium catalyzed oxidations, were proved to be excellent alternatives for the solvents conventionally employed in these processes, such as acetic acid. Palladium acetate alone or in the combination with p-benzoquinone efficiently operates as the catalyst for the oxidation of alkenes by dioxygen under 5–10 atm. For most substrates, the systems in green solvents showed better selectivity for allylic oxidation products as compared to pure acetic acid; moreover, the reactions in propylene carbonate solutions occurred even faster than in acetic acid.

Promiscuous acyltransferase activity is the ability of certain hydrolases to preferentially catalyze acyl transfer over hydrolysis, even in bulk water. However, poor enantioselectivity, low transfer efficiency, significant product hydrolysis, and limited substrate scope represent considerable drawbacks for their application. By activity-based screening of several hydrolases, we identified the family VIII carboxylesterase, EstCE1, as an unprecedentedly efficient acyltransferase. EstCE1 catalyzes the irreversible amidation and carbamoylation of amines in water, which enabled the synthesis of the drug moclobemide from methyl 4-chlorobenzoate and 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine (ca. 20 % conversion). We solved the crystal structure of EstCE1 and detailed structure–function analysis revealed a three-amino acid motif important for promiscuous acyltransferase activity. Introducing this motif into an esterase without acetyltransferase activity transformed a “hydrolase” into an “acyltransferase”.

Herein we report the design and successful catalytic application of modified Trost-ligands in asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) reactions. A small set of carbamate-monophosphine P,O-ligands has been prepared in a straightforward two-step synthetic procedure. After optimization of the reaction conditions, high catalytic activities and excellent enantioselectivity up to >99% have been attained.

A palladium(II)/monothiadiazole ligand catalytic system and its application in catalyzing the acetoxylation of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes have been developed. With this newly designed monothiadiazole thioether ligand, the reaction showed a broad scope with respect to 1,1-disubstituted olefins, giving the corresponding products in yields of 30-86percent.

Palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylations of sodium dimethyl malonate with 1,3-diphenylallyl acetate, employing BIFOP-H (biphenylbisfencholphosphite) and analogue (i.e. BIFOP-X, X = D, Cl, CN, N3) ligands, all yield (S)-enantiomeric products, while alkylations to cyclohexenyl acetate yield the (R)-enantiomeric C-C coupling product (up to 91% yield, 70% ee). The fluoro derivative BIFOP-F however, "switches" the sense of enantioselectivity, yielding the (R)-enantiomer for 1,3-diphenylallyl acetate and the (S)-enantiomer for the cyclohexenyl acetate (up to 92% yield, 67% ee). Computational analyses of transition structures (M06-2X-D3/def2-TZVP//B3LYP-D3(BJ)/def2-SVP) for these Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylations reproduce the experimental preference of BIFOP-H (and analogue BIFOP-X ligands) for (R)- or (S)-enantiomeric products of 1,3-diphenylallyl or cyclohexenyl acetate, respectively. The "F-switch" of the sense of enantioselectivity from BIFOP-H to BIFOP-F is also apparent computationally and is found (NBO-analyses) to originate from lp(Pd) → σ?(P-O) or lp(Pd) → σ?(P-F) hyperconjugations. The higher electronegativity of F vs. H in BIFOP-X hence controls the sense of enantioselectivity of this Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation.

A protocol for the cobalt-catalyzed oxidative esterification of allylic/benzylic C(sp3)–H bonds with carboxylic acids was developed in this work. Mechanistic studies revealed that C(sp3)–H bond activation in the hydrocarbon was the turnover-limiting step and the in-situ formed [Co(III)]Ot-Bu did not engage in hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) of a C–H bond. This protocol was successfully incorporated into a synthetic pathway to β-damascenone that avoided the use of NBS.

Allylation and benzylation of p-quinones was achieved through an unusual redox chain reaction. Mechanistic studies suggest that the existence of trace hydroquinone initiates a redox chain reaction that consists of a Lewis acid catalyzed Friedel–Crafts alkylation and a subsequent redox equilibrium that regenerates hydroquinone. The electrophiles could be various allylic and benzylic esters. The addition of Hantzsch ester as an initiator improves the efficiency of the reaction.

Abstract: A triflic acid-functionalized polyvinylpolypyrrolidone was prepared and fully characterized by FT-IR, TGA, and SEM. This super acidic solid catalyst shows high catalytic activity for selective acylation of alcohols, phenols, amines, and thiols with anhydrides under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. In addition, this method features an easy to handle solid super acid catalyst and an operationally simple procedure, affording the desired acylated products in excellent yields.

An additive-free Pd-catalyzed α-allylation of different imino-group-ontaining heterocycles is reported. The activation of α-CH pronucleophiles (pKa (DMSO) > 25) occurs without the addition of strong bases or Lewis acids using only the Pd/Xantphos catalyst system. The reaction scope has been studied for various 5- and 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycles (yields up to 96%). Mechanistic investigations suggest an initial allylation of the imine-N followed by a Pd-catalyzed formal aza-Claisen rearrangement.
