NiCl2(dppe)-catalyzed cross-coupling of cinnamaldehyde dithioacetals gave the corresponding geminal dimethylation products in excellent yields. Allylic ortho thioesters afforded regioselectively the corresponding trimethylation products. The reaction may occur via an 18-electron pi-allyl intermediate, which undergoes facile reductive elimination to afford the geminal dimethylation product. Benzylic dithioacetals having an ortho amino group gave 2-isopropylanilines exclusively. The reaction of benzylic dithioacetals with EtMgBr under the same conditions yielded geminal diethylation products.

The stable, readily available molybdenum(II) complexes [Mo(CO)(4)Br-2](2) (B) and Mo(CO)(3)(MeCN)(2)(SnCl3)Cl (C) have been found to catalyze C-C bond-forming allylic substitution with electron-rich aromatics (e.g., 15 + PhOMe --> 62) and heteroaromatics (e.g., 15 + 36 --> 88) as nucleophiles under mild conditions (room temperature, 30 min-3 h). Remarkable is the para-selectivity for anisole, whereas phenol tends to favor ortho-substitution in certain instances. Mechanistic and stereochemical experiments are indicative of Lewis-acid catalysis rather than a metal template-controlled process.
A novel efficient method for the synthesis of substituted olefins; cross coupling of two different alcohols using NaHSO4/SiO2
Simple and efficient cross coupling of alcohols was developed in the presence of NaHSO4/SiO2 to give the corresponding substituted olefins. Direct coupling of alcohols and alkenes was also achieved to give substituted olefins. NaHSO4/SiO2 could be recycled 7 times without loss of catalytic activity.
