Hou, Jinsong,Yang, Gaosheng,Chai, Zhuo
, p. 453 - 463 (2022/01/04)
A tandem insertion of aliphatic nitriles and unactivated alkenes to the N-H bond of secondary aliphatic amines catalyzed by simple trialkyl rare-earth metal complexes was disclosed. This reaction provides a highly atom-economic and stereoselective way to a range of cyclic amidines under mild reaction conditions.

Herein, we report a Cu-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation using a γ-butyrolactone-derived silyl ketene acetal. Critical to the development of this work was the identification of a novel mono-picolinamide ligand with the appropriate steric and electronic properties to afford the desired products in high yield (up to 96 %) and high ee (up to 95 %). Aryl, aliphatic, and unsubstituted allylic chlorides bearing a broad range of functionality are well-tolerated. Spectroscopic studies reveal that a CuI species is likely the active catalyst, and DFT calculations suggest ligand sterics play an important role in determining Cu coordination and thus catalyst geometry.

Endergonic isomerizations are thermodynamically unfavored processes that are difficult to realize under thermal conditions. We report a photocatalytic and diastereoselective isomerization of acyclic cinnamyl chlorides to strained cyclopropanes. Quantum mechanical calculations (uM06-2X and DLPNO), including TD-DFT calculations, and experimental studies provide evidence for the energy transfer from an iridium photocatalyst to the allylic chloride substrate followed by C-Cl homolytic cleavage. Subsequent Cla￠ radical migration forms a localized triplet 1,3-diradical intermediate that, after intersystem crossing, undergoes ring-closing to form the desired product. The mild reaction conditions are compatible with a broad range of functional groups to generate chlorocyclopropanes in high yields and diastereoselectivities. A more efficient process is developed by addition of a catalytic amount of a nickel complex, and we propose a novel role for this cocatalyst to recycle an allyl chloride byproduct generated in the course of the reaction. The reaction is also shown to be stereoconvergent, as an E/Z mixture of cinnamyl chlorides furnish the anti-chlorocyclopropane product in high diastereoselectivity. We anticipate that the use of a visible light activated photocatalyst to transform substrates in combination with a transition metal catalyst to recycle byproducts back into the catalytic cycle will provide unique opportunities for the discovery of new reactivity.
Intramolecular photocycloaddition reactions of 2- and 4-(5-arylpent-4-enyl)-1-cyanonaphthalenes
Maeda, Hajime,Enya, Kouhei,Negoro, Naoki,Mizuno, Kazuhiko
, p. 173 - 184 (2019/02/15)
Photoreactions of 1-cyanonaphthalene derivatives containing 5-arylpent-4-enyl groups at C-2 or C-4 of the naphthalene ring were investigated. Photoreactions of C-2 derivatives in benzene or CH3CN generated intramolecular [2 + 2] and [3 + 2] photocycloadducts. Substances bearing electron-rich and electron-poor phenyl groups produced respective [2 + 2] and [3 + 2] photocycloadducts preferentially. In contrast, photoreactions of C-4 linked 1-cyanonaphthalenes produced intramolecular [4 + 2] photocycloadducts as main products along with stereoisomers of tricyclic compounds as minor products. The formation of [4 + 2] photocycloadducts was promoted by using benzophenone or Michler's ketone triplet photosensitization, and quenched by O2 or ferrocene. Intramolecular singlet exciplexes, which serve as important intermediates in the mechanistic pathways for these reactions, governed the site-selectivities in photoreactions of both of the 2- and 4-(5-arylpent-4-enyl)-1-cyanonaphthalenes. In addition, [4 + 2] photocycloadducts were observed to undergo di-π-methane rearrangement under irradiation conditions to produce angular triquinane derivatives.

A highly enantioselective PdII-catalyzed aza-Wacker oxidation tandem cyclization of aromatic nitrogen-containing dienes has been achieved in the presence of novel chiral cinchona alkaloid oxazoline ligands for the first time, affording chiral dihydroindole nitrogen-containing polycyclic compounds with good yields (up to 83 %), high diastereoselectivities (> 95:5 dr), and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97 % ee).

A convenient palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reaction for the efficient synthesis of (E)-3-benzylidenechroman-4-ones has been developed. Using TFBen as a solid CO source, a range of substituted (E)-3-benzylidenechroman-4-ones were prepared in moderate to good yields with 2-iodophenols and allyl chlorides as the substrates. Additionally, substituted quinolin-4(1H)-ones can also be obtained with 2-iodoaniline as the starting material.

A method for the oxidative arylacetoxylation of alkenes has been developed to synthesize indole and indoline derivatives from readily accessible substrates. The cinnamyl tethered anilines with picolinamide as a directing group provided 3-substituted indoles via intramolecular oxidative arylacetoxylation, and the 2-methyl substituted cinnamyl anilines furnished indoline derivatives with 3-position quaternary stereocenters in good to excellent yields via sequential intramolecular oxidative arylacetoxylation, hydrolysis and oxidation steps.

Rhodium(ii)-catalyzed intramolecular [4 + 3] cycloadditions of dienyltriazoles have been developed, which enable the efficient synthesis of various fused 2,5-dihydroazepines. Mechanistically, the titled reaction proceeds via an interesting tandem cyclopropanation/aza-cope rearrangement.

Presence of TMSX (X = Cl, Br, I) unleashes the oxidative character of Selectfluor and provides a mild dihalogenation method for 1-arylallenes. Preference for 2,3-addition was observed with TMSCl in MeCN irrespective of the nature of the substituent on the aryl moiety, whereas 1,2-addition was preferred in [BMIM][BF4]. With TMSBr and TMSI only products corresponding to 2,3-addition were observed. Reactions carried out with TMSBr in IL solvents gave the corresponding monobromoalkenes as a major product along with the isomeric dibromo-alkenes. Reaction with NH4SCN provided convenient access to dithiocyanate derivatives. The same products were formed via TMS-NCS/Selectfluor. Formation of common products via TMSNCS and NH 4SCN points to the formation and interplay of SCN+/ NCS+ as incipient electrophiles.
Diastereocontrol in asymmetric allyl-allyl cross-coupling: Stereocontrolled reaction of prochiral allylboronates with prochiral allyl chlorides

Palladium-catalyzed allyl-allyl cross-coupling was investigated with substituted prochiral allylic boronates. These reactions deliver products bearing adjacent stereocenters, and the issue of diastereocontrol is therefore paramount. Under appropriately mo
