Regiodivergent Hydroborative Ring Opening of Epoxides via Selective C-O Bond Activation

A magnesium-catalyzed regiodivergent C-O bond cleavage protocol is presented. Readily available magnesium catalysts achieve the selective hydroboration of a wide range of epoxides and oxetanes yielding secondary and tertiary alcohols in excellent yields and regioselectivities. Experimental mechanistic investigations and DFT calculations provide insight into the unexpected regiodivergence and explain the different mechanisms of the C-O bond activation and product formation.

Impact of variation of the acyl group on the efficiency and selectivity of the lipase-mediated resolution of 2-phenylalkanols

By tuning the steric properties of the acyl group to control the efficiency and selectivity of the resolution, 2-phenyl-1-propanol 1a was prepared by lipase-catalysed hydrolysis using a short-chain acyl group, with E-values of up to 66 (ee up to 95%). 2-Phenylbutan-1-ol 1b was similarly resolved (up to 86% ee) using the optimised conditions, while the ester of the more sterically demanding 3-methyl-2-phenylbutan-1-ol 1c proved resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis under these conditions.

Zr-Catalyzed Electrophilic Carbomagnesation of Aryl Olefins. Mechanism-Based Control of Zr-Mg Ligand Exchange

(Formula Presented) The first examples of efficient electrophilic Zr-catalyzed carbomagnesations are disclosed, where in contrast to previous catalytic carbomagnesations the alkyl moiety of the electrophile is transferred (vs that of the Grignard reagent)
