Nonenzymatic kinetic resolution of α-aryl substituted allylic alcohols catalyzed by acyl transfer catalyst Np-PIQ
摘要:
Chiral alpha-aryl substituted allylic alcohols are important versatile synthetic intermediates. We report here an effective nonenzymatic kinetic resolution of racemic alpha-aryl substituted allylic alcohols by introducing different aryl groups with acyl transfer catalyst Np-PIQ and propionic anhydride, providing moderate to good selectivity factors (S=12-37).

The palladium-catalyzed arylation of several unsymmetrical olefins by aryl triflates in the presence of bidentate phosphine ligands is described. The use of these ligands increases the influence that electronic factors have in determining regioselectivity of the reaction. The catalyst performances allow a revisiting of the scheme that describes the regioselectivity outcome in Heck-type reactions. Furthermore, a general mechanism for the palladium-catalyzed arylation of olefins is proposed.
