- Nickel-Catalyzed Asymmetric Reductive 1,2-Carboamination of Unactivated Alkenes
-
Starting from diverse alkene-tethered aryl iodides and O-benzoyl-hydroxylamines, the enantioselective reductive cross-electrophilic 1,2-carboamination of unactivated alkenes was achieved using a chiral pyrox/nickel complex as the catalyst. This mild, modular, and practical protocol provides rapid access to a variety of β-chiral amines with an enantioenriched aryl-substituted quaternary carbon center in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. This process reveals a complementary regioselectivity when compared to Pd and Cu catalysis.

- Pd-Catalyzed Carbonylation of Vinyl Triflates to Afford α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes, Esters, and Amides under Mild Conditions
-
An efficient and general protocol for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, esters, and amides via carbonylation of vinyl triflates including derivatives of camphor, ketoisophorone, verbenone, and pulegone was developed. Crucial for these transformations is the use of a specific palladium catalyst containing a pyridyl-substituted dtbpx-type ligand. This procedure also allows for an easy access of dicarbonylated products from the corresponding ketones.

- Catalytic, enantioselective, and highly chemoselective bromocyclization of olefinic dicarbonyl compounds
-
Overriding preferences: An amine-thiocarbamate catalyst can mediate the facile, efficient, and highly enantioselective bromocyclization of olefinic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. In the presence of the bifunctional catalyst, the bromination occurs chemoselectively at the olefinic moiety rather than at the carbon atom in the α-position to the carbonyl units. Copyright

- Manganese(III) acetate mediated oxidative radical cyclizations. Toward vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters
-
Manganese(III) acetate mediated oxidative radical cyclizations have been used to synthesize a range of densely functionalized and sterically congested cyclopentane-lactones. A number of the resulting lactones contain vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters adjacent to a tertiary benzylic stereocenter and are formed with high levels of stereocontrol.

- Rapid organocatalytic aldehyde-aldehyde condensation reactions
-
We report the results of the systematic optimization of the α-methylenation of aldehydes with aqueous formaldehyde. A simple combination of a secondary amine catalyst and a weak acid co-catalyst has been identified, allowing access to α-substituted acroleins in a matter of minutes. In the absence of formaldehyde, the catalytic system promoted the self-condensation reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. Both of these reactions exhibited linear relationships between co-catalyst acidities and reaction rates. A second-order dependence of catalyst concentration was observed, pointing to the involvement of two molecules of the ammonium catalyst in the rate-determining step. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

- Simple primary anilines as iminium catalysts for the epoxidation of α-substituted acroleins
-
Simple ortho-alkylated anilines have been shown to be excellent iminium catalysts for the epoxidation reaction of α-substituted acroleins. A range of different α-substituted acroleins give the epoxide products in good to excellent yields and good chemoselectivity.

- Diastereoselective hydroformylation of 2-substituted allylic o-DPPB-Esters-On the origin of 1,2-asymmetric induction
-
2-Substituted secondary alcohol o-DPPB esters (o-DPPB = orthodiphenylphosphanylbenzoyl) have been prepared and their o-DPPB-directed diastereoselective hydroformylation examined. It was found that the diastereoselectivity increased as a function of the steric demand of the substituents both at the stereogenic center and in the alkene 2-position. Hydrolytic cleavage of the o-DPPB group afforded - via the lactols 29 - the corresponding lactones 30, the relative configurations of the vicinal stereogenic centers of which were ascertainable by 2D-NOESY spectroscopy. In addition, a crystal structure analysis of the hydroformylation product 2d provided further confirmation of the relative configuration. Replacement of the ester carbonyl group of the o-DPPB by a methylene unit resulted in significantly worse diastereoselectivity in the course of the hydroformylation (34→35), which indicates a decisive role for the ester carbonyl function. All the experimental observations were combined in a model of the origin of the 1,2-asymmetric induction during the title reaction. The key feature is the consideration of diastereomeric trigonal-bipyramidal rhodium-hydrido-olefin complexes I and II, capable on the basis of the Hammond postulate of acting as good models for the transition states of the selectivity-determining hydrometalation step. Investigation of these complexes by force-field methods indicated good correlation between theoretically predicted and experimentally determined diastereoselectivities.
