Selective Synthesis of Z-Cinnamyl Ethers and Cinnamyl Alcohols through Visible Light-Promoted Photocatalytic E to Z Isomerization

A photocatalytic E to Z isomerization of alkenes using an iridium photosensitizer under mild reaction conditions is disclosed. This method provides scalable and efficient access to Z-cinnamyl ether and allylic alcohol derivatives in high yields with excellent stereoselectivity. Importantly, this method also provides a powerful strategy for the selective synthesis of Z-magnolol and honokiol derivatives possessing potential biological activity.

Nickel(0) triethyl phosphite complex-catalyzed allylic substitution with retention of regio- and stereochemistry

(Chemical Equation Presented) Nickel(0) triethyl phosphite complex-promoted reaction of allylic acetates with thiols produced allylic sulfides with retention of configuration without allylic rearrangement. A similar reaction of allylic acetates with alcohols and phenols also proceeded with retention of regio- and stereochemistry.
