Lithium t-butyl hydroperoxide (easily generated by addition of an alkyl-lithium to anhydrous t-butyl hydroperoxide in THF solution) is a powerful reagent for the epoxidation of electrophilic alkenes at –20 to 0 °C under full stereocontrol.
A transition‐metal‐free approach to the alkylation/arylation of benzoxazole was developed by employing Tf2O‐activated‐amide as the alkylating/arylating reagent. The mild reaction conditions, and particularly insensitivity to air and water, further enhance the synthetic potential in pharmaceutical synthesis.
[structure: see text]. A cationic rhodium(I)/dppb complex catalyzed direct intermolecular hydroacylation of N,N-dialkylacrylamides with both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes has been achieved through the stabilization of acylrhodium intermediates by alkene chelation to rhodium. This method represents a versatile new route to gamma-ketoamides in view of the high atom economy and commercial availability
A highly enantioselective FeII-catalyzed thia-Michael addition to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives was developed. The scope of the reaction was demonstrated with a selection of aromatic, heterocyclic and aliphatic thiols, and various Michael acceptors. The corresponding β-thioethers were obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 98%) and moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96:4
A convenient Fe(OTf)2-catalyzed Michael additionreaction of thiols to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was developed. The use of a simple procedure (EtOH, room temperature, air atmosphere) allowed to set up effective green catalytic conditions for the C–S bond formation. The scope of the reaction was demonstrated using various substituted thiols and original Michael acceptors. The corresponding
