Cobalt(i)-catalysed CH-alkylation of terminal olefins, and beyond

Cobalester, a natural nontoxic vitamin B12 derivative, was found to catalyse unusual olefinic sp2 C-H alkylation with diazo reagents as a carbene source instead of the expected cyclopropanation.

Borontribromide-mediated C-C bond formation in cyclic ketones: A transition metal free approach

Borontribromide (BBr3) is a well-known demethylating agent. The current investigation was focused on a new application of borontribromide as a C-C bond forming agent in cyclic ketones. In this study, borontribromide mediated C-C bond formation reactions of tetralones, chromenone, thiochromenone and indanones were explored. A methoxy group containing ketones showed selective C-C bond formation reaction instead of demethylation of the methoxy group. MM2 steric energy calculations for the final products showed that the reaction favored the formation of exo- or endo-cyclic double bond containing products, depending upon their low MM2 steric energy in a specific frame structure, as observed in X-ray crystallography. A comprehensive crystallographic and pi-stacking analysis of product 10a demonstrated the formation of 10a as an enantiomeric mixture, and its centre of inversion was stabilized by a set of three unique pi-pi interactions.
