RESUMO
A palladium catalyzed enantioselective Heck/borylation reaction of alkene-tethered aryl iodides was realized, delivering a variety of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuranyl boronic esters in high yield with excellent enantioselectivity. Asymmetric synthesis of chromane boronic ester, indane boronic ester and indoline boronic ester was also accomplished. The protocol offers an efficient access to the corresponding chiral benzocyclic boronic esters, which are notably important chemical motifs in synthetic transformations.
RESUMO
Here, a novel method for the stereoselective synthesis of alkynyl cyclopropanes, by the silver-catalyzed alkynylcyclopropanation of alkenes using alkynyl N-nosylhydrazones as alkynyl carbene precursors, is reported. This method provides a straightforward and powerful approach for preparing various alkynyl cyclopropanes in high yield with excellent stereoselectivities. In addition, the practicality of this method was demonstrated by gram-scale synthesis and late-stage modification of bioactive molecules.
RESUMO
Here we report a silver-catalyzed alkynyl carbene insertion into ß-ketocarbonyls using alkynyl N-nosylhydrazones as alkynyl carbene precursors, which provides access to trisubstituted allenyl ketones. This reaction represents the first example of an alkynyl carbene insertion into a C-C σ bond, affording products homologated with an sp2 carbon center. The products are useful substrates for further transformations. Experimental investigations and theoretical calculations suggest the reaction proceeds through a stepwise enol cyclopropanation/retro-aldol pathway.
RESUMO
Sonogashira-type cross-couplings are one of the most significant alkynylations in organic chemistry. One of the first palladium-catalyzed intramolecular Heck/Sonogashira reactions of alkenes with terminal alkynes is now reported. With this method, a variety of uniquely substituted chiral benzene-fused heterocycles bearing a propargyl-substituted all-carbon quaternary stereocenter were obtained in a straightforward, high-yielding, and highly stereoselective manner under mild conditions. Salient features of this process include the use of readily available substrates, high selectivities, a broad substrate scope as well as versatile product functionalizations.
RESUMO
A highly enantioselective dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated alkenes was implemented by a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric tandem Heck/Suzuki coupling reaction. This reaction represents the first example of a highly enantioselective intramolecular cyclization/cross-coupling of olefin-tethered aryl halides with alkyl-, alkenyl- or arylboronic acids, and provides rapid access to a number of chiral compounds, such as dihydrobenzofurans, indolines, chromanes, and indanes bearing a quaternary stereocenter, in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The practicality of this reaction was validated in the modification of biologically complex molecules such as peptides, piperitol, CB2 receptor agonists, etc. Moreover, the synthesis of two enantiomers can be easily realized by simple change in the order of the steps in the coupling sequence.

A highly enantioselective palladium-catalyzed iodine atom transfer cycloisomerization of unactivated alkenes has been developed. This represents the first example of highly enantioselective carboiodination of olefin-tethered aryl iodides, which provides a perfect atom economy method to construct a series of optically active 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran, indolines and chromane bearing an alkyl iodide group in moderate to good yields. Moreover, the use of readily available starting materials, a broad substrate scope, high selectivity, mild reaction conditions, as well as versatile transformation of the product make this approach attractive. The mechanism of this Pd(0)-catalyzed asymmetric carboiodination of alkenes has been investigated with density functional theory.
RESUMO
The highly exo- and enantioselective gold-catalyzed tandem heterocyclization/[4 + 3] cycloaddition of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones and 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran was implemented by utilizing Ming-Phos, which provides a facile access to chiral seven-membered oxa-bridged rings in 80-98% yield with high exo selectivity ( exo/ endo up to 50:1) and up to 97% ee.
RESUMO
The first example of highly enantioselective intramolecular hydroarylation of allyl aryl ethers was realized by palladium-catalyzed reductive heck reactions utilizing a new chiral sulfinamide phosphine ligand (N-Me-XuPhos). N-Me-XuPhos can be easily prepared on gram scale from readily available starting materials in a one-pot synthesis approach. A series of optically active 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans bearing a quaternary stereocenter were obtained in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. The practicality of this reaction was validated in the straightforward synthesis of CB2 receptor agonists. Moreover, deuterium was efficiently incorporated into the products.
