Copper-catalyzed three-component: N -alkylation of quinazolinones and azoles

A Cu-catalyzed three-component N-alkylation coupling reaction of N-heteroarenes with methyl ketones and DMPA as a carbon source has been developed. Using methyl ketones as alkylation reagents and DMPA (N,N′-dimethylpropionamide) as a carbon source, the re

Nickel-Catalyzed C(sp3)-H Functionalization of Benzyl Nitriles: Direct Michael Addition to Terminal Vinyl Ketones

An efficient nickel(0)-catalyzed addition of benzyl nitriles to terminal vinyl ketones via C(sp3)-H functionalization has been developed. The reaction provides a novel and efficient protocol for the synthesis of α-functionalized benzyl nitriles with a wide range of structural diversity under mild reaction conditions while obviating the use of a strong base. The work might be potentially useful toward the development of an enantioselective variant using chiral nitrogen ligands.

Enantioselective Allylation of Alkenyl Boronates Promotes a 1,2-Metalate Rearrangement with 1,3-Diastereocontrol

Alkenyl boronates add to Ir(π-allyl) intermediates with high enantioselectivity. A 1,2-metalate shift forms a second C-C bond and sets a 1,3-stereochemical relationship. The three-component coupling provides tertiary boronic esters that can undergo multiple additional functionalizations. An extension to trisubstituted olefins sets three contiguous stereocenters.
