Regioselective aerobic oxidative Heck reactions with electronically unbiased alkenes: Efficient access to α-alkyl vinylarenes

Branched-selective oxidative Heck coupling reactions have been developed between arylboronic acids and electronically unbiased terminal alkenes. The reactions exhibit high catalyst-controlled regioselectivity favoring the less common branched isomer. The reactions employ a catalyst composed of Pd(TFA)2/dmphen (TFA = trifluoroacetate, dmphen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) and proceed efficiently at 45-60 °C under 1 atm of O2 without requiring other additives. A broad array of functional groups, including aryl halide, allyl silane and carboxylic acids are tolerated.

Heck arylations of pent-4-enoates or allylmalonate using a palladium/tetraphosphine catalyst

The Heck reaction of aryl halides with functionalised alk-1-enes should be a powerful method for the synthesis of functionalised (E)-1-arylalk-1-ene derivatives. The major problem of this reaction is the palladium-catalysed migration of the carbon-carbon

Palladium-Catalyzed Highly Regio- and Stereoselective Addition of Organoboronic Acids to Allenes in the Presence of AcOH

The Pd0-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective addition of organoboronic acids to allenes leads to stereodefined tri- or tetrasubstituted alkenes. Furthermore, this method shows high substitutent-loading capability and tolerance of various substitutents. A hydropalladation-Suzuki coupling mechanism, which may account for the regio- and stereoselectivity, is proposed.

Reagent-controlled stereoselective iodolactonizations

Chemical equation presented Iodocyclizations are important transformations and among stereocontrolled iodocyclizations mostly substrate-controlled versions using a chiral auxiliary have been successfully investigated. This work reports on stereoselective

ortho-halogeno substituents effect in asymmetric cyclization of 4-aryl-4-pentenals using a rhodium catalyst

Asymmetric cyclization of 4-aryl-4-pentenals by using a cationic [Rh((R)-BINAP)]ClO4 afforded (3R)-3-substituted cyclopentanones; on the other hand, the cyclization of 4-pentenals bearing ortho-halogeno phenyl groups afforded the opposite (3S)-ones.
