An unprecedented orthogonal cross-coupling between aromatic C(sp2) and aliphatic olefinic C(sp2) carbons of two same molecules via dual C-H bond activation in an intermolecular fashion has been developed using a distal ester-directing group. This new coupling reaction led to the synthesis of the highly functionalized 1,3-diaryl molecular architecture in very good yields and with high chemo- and regioselectivities. In addition, using ester as the distal directing group, ortho C-H olefination of α-methyl aryl acrylates and cinnamic esters with various alkenes has been achieved in very good yields and with a wide range of substrate scope.

We report the discovery that simple carboxylic acids, such as benzoic acid, boost the activity of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysts in the oxidative esterification of aldehydes. A simple and efficient protocol for the transformation of a wide range of sterically hindered α- and β-substituted aliphatic aldehydes/enals, catalyzed by a novel and readily accessible N-Mes-/N-2,4,6-trichlorophenyl 1,2,4-triazolium salt, and benzoic acid as co-catalyst, was developed. A whole series of α/β-substituted aliphatic aldehydes/enals hitherto not amenable to NHC-catalyzed esterification could be reacted at typical catalyst loadings of 0.02–1.0 mol %. For benzaldehyde, even 0.005 mol % of NHC catalyst proved sufficient: the lowest value ever achieved in NHC catalysis. Preliminary studies point to carboxylic acid-induced acceleration of acyl transfer from azolium enolate intermediates as the mechanistic basis of the observed effect.

A study of acyl protecting groups derived from the Ph? motif is reported. While initial studies indicated that a variety of functional groups were not compatible with the Br 2-mediated cleavage conditions required to release the Ph? group, strategies involving the use of different reagents or a modification of Ph? itself (Ph*OH) were investigated to solve this problem.
Novel multi-dentate phosphines for Pd-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of alkynes promoted by H2O additive

A series of novel multi (bi-/tri-/tetra-)-dentate phosphines with good robustness against water and oxygen were synthesized and fully characterized. It was found that the developed ionic tri-dentate phosphine (L2′) enabled Pd-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of alkynes most efficiently while H2O was used as an additive instead of acid. As for L2′, its unique steric configuration with two types of potential P-P chelation modes (P?P distance of 4.31 ? and 4.36 ? respectively) to Pd-centre rendered the corresponding Pd-catalyst high activity and good stability for alkoxycarbonylation of alkynes. The in situ FT-IR analysis also verified that the formation and stability of Pd–H active species were greatly facilitated with the presence of L2′ as well as H2O additive. In addition, as an ionic phosphine, L2′ based PdCl2(MeCN)2 system immobilized in RTIL of [Bmim]NTf2 could be recycled for 7 runs without obvious activity loss or metal leaching.

A class of novel diphosphine ligands bearing pyridine substituents was designed and synthesized for the first time. The resulting palladium complexes of L1 allow for chemo- and regioselective dialkoxycarbonylation of various aromatic and aliphatic alkynes affording a wide range of 1,4-dicarboxylic acid diesters in high yields and selectivities. Kinetic studies suggest the generation of 1,4-dicarboxylic acid diesters via cascade hydroesterification of the corresponding alkynes. Based on these investigations, the chemo- and regioselectivities of alkyne carbonylations can be controlled as shown by switching the ligand from L1 to L3 or L9 to give α,β-unsaturated esters.

Catalytic carbonylations of alkynes represent straightforward and atom-economic synthesis of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. One of the issues associated with the currently known catalytic systems is insufficient efficiency. In this context, Pd/ligand-catalyzed regioselective and efficient alkoxycarbonylation of terminal alkynes is desirable for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters. Herein, we present the use of a newly designed bifunctional ligand for efficient Pd-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of alkynes. Both aliphatic and aromatic alkynes were smoothly transformed to the branched desired products with high selectivity (28 examples, 45–96% yields, 95.0–99.9% selectivity).
Cobalt-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Grignards with Allylic and Vinylic Bromides: Use of Sarcosine as a Natural Ligand

Sarcosine was discovered to be an excellent ligand for cobalt-catalyzed carbon-carbon cross-coupling of Grignard reagents with allylic and vinylic bromides. The Co(II)/sarcosine catalytic system is shown to perform efficiently when phenyl and benzyl Grignards are coupled with alkenyl bromides. Notably, previously unachievable Co-catalyzed coupling of allylic bromides with Grignards to linearly coupled α-products was also realized with Co(II)/sarcosine catalyst. This method was used for efficient preparation of the key intermediate in an alternative synthesis of the antihyperglycemic drug sitagliptin.

A sustainable D-glucosamine ligand is successfully introduced into iron-catalysed C-C cross-coupling reactions for the first time. The Fe(acac)2/D-glucosamine·HCl/Et3N catalytic system was effective at 5 mol% loading in coupling reactions of Grignard reagents with organic bromides. Moderate to high efficiency was achieved with preserved stereochemistry when allyl (Csp3) or alkenyl (Csp2) bromides were coupled with phenylmagnesium (Csp2) or benzylmagnesium (Csp3) bromides. The catalytic system developed was also successfully applied for the novel and economic preparation of a Michael-acceptor-like starting material used in an alternative synthesis of the drug sitagliptin, a known blockbuster for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus.

A simple and straightforward approach to the diastereoselective synthesis of noncoded β-hydroxy-α-amino esters from Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts is described. The strategy is based on a one-pot sequence involving an oxidative cleavage of the double bond of silylated Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts, followed by the reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride/pyridine to form oximes. The stereoselective reduction of the oximes with the mixture MoCl5·nH2O/NaBH3CN led to the corresponding anti-β-hydroxy-α-amino esters in four steps in good overall yield and with diastereoselectivity higher than 95%. A slight modification of the synthetic approach has allowed for the racemic synthesis of a set of noncoded α-amino esters/acids and DOPA

A general process for the high-yielding synthesis of substituted chiral and achiral α-substituted acrylates was achieved through the sequential one-pot combination of a metal-free reductive coupling reaction followed by an Eschenmoser methylenation. The proline catalyzed reaction of Meldrum's acid, aldehydes and Hantzsch ester followed by methylenation was successful with Eschenmoser's salt in the presence of an alcohol solvent. Herein, we have shown the high-yielding synthesis of privileged building blocks from chiral/achiral α-substituted acrylates and shown them to be very good intermediates in the pharmaceuticals and natural products synthesis.
