Catalytic generation of ambiphilic π-allyl-metal complexes and their utility in enantioselective transformations constitutes a powerful approach for introduction of allyl groups to a molecule. Herein an unprecedented cobalt-catalyzed highly site-, diastereo-, and enantioselective protocol for stereoselective formation of nucleophilic allyl-Co(II) complexes followed by addition to aldehydes is presented. The reaction features diastereo- and enantioconvergent conversion of easily accessible allylic alcohol derivatives to diversified enantioenriched homoallylic alcohols with a remarkably broad scope of allyl groups that can be introduced. Mechanistic studies indicated that allyl radical intermediates were involved in this process. These new discoveries establish a new strategy for development of enantioselective transformations through capture of radicals by chiral Co complexes, pushing forward the frontier of Co complexes for enantioselective catalysis.

The first broadly applicable strategy for SN2″-selective and enantioselective catalytic substitution is disclosed. Transformations are promoted by 5.0 mol% of a sulfonate-containing NHC-Cu complex (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene), and are carried

A chiral gold(I) complex-catalyzed highly regio- and enantioselective azo hetero-Diels-Alder reaction has been developed. The chiral gold(I) complex acting as a Lewis acid exhibits high efficiency in the activation of urea-based diazene dienophiles. Moreover, this chiral gold catalyst also rendered a cascade intramolecular enyne cycloisomerization/asymmetric azo-HDA reaction.

1-O-cis-cinnamoyl-β-d-glucopyranose is one of the most potent allelochemicals isolated from Spiraea thunbergii Sieb. It is suggested that it derives its strong inhibitory activity from cis-cinnamic acid, which is crucial for phytotoxicity. It was synthesized to confirm its structure and bioactivity, and also a series of cis-cinnamic acid analogues were prepared to elucidate the key features of cis-cinnamic acid for lettuce root growth inhibition. The cis-cyclopropyl analogue showed potent inhibitory activity while the saturated and alkyne analogues proved to be inactive, demonstrating the importance of the cis-double bond. Moreover, the aromatic ring could not be replaced with a saturated ring. However, the 1,3-dienylcyclohexene analogue showed strong activity. These results suggest that the geometry of the C-C double bond between the carboxyl group and the aromatic ring is essential for potent inhibitory activity. In addition, using several light sources, the photostability of the cinnamic acid derivatives and the role of the C-C double bond were also investigated.
Enantioselective activation of ethers by chiral organoaluminum reagents: Application to asymmetric Claisen rearrangement
Maruoka,Banno,Yamamoto
, p. 647 - 662 (2007/10/02)
The asymmetric Claisen rearrangement of allyl vinyl ethers has been effected with a chiral organoaluminum reagent, (R)-1 or (S)-1 as an example of the enantioselectie activation of ether substrates. This method provides a facile asymmetric synthesis of various acylsilanes and acylgermanes with high optical purity. Among various trialkylsilyl substituents of chiral organoaluminum reagent 1, use of the more bulky t-butyldiphenylsilyl group exhibits the highest enantioselectivity. The conformational analysis of two possible chairlike transition-state structures of an allyl vinyl ether substrate reveals that a chiral organoaluminum reagent 1 can discriminate between these two conformations only by a difference in the orientation of α-methylene groups of ethers.
