ylides derived from short-chain trialkylphosphines in the Wittig-type olefinationreactions toward the synthesis of alkenes, including stilbenes, styrenes, and 1,3-dienes, as well as reagents for homologation reactions, are described. The methods allow easy access to alkenes with high (E)-stereoselectivity in good yield. These reactions are conducted with weak bases in aqueous media, which allows easy

Decarboxylative cross-coupling of aliphatic acid anhydrides with vinyl triflates or halides was accomplished via nickel catalysis. This methodology works well with a broad array of substrates and features abundant functional group tolerance. Notably, our approach addresses the issue of safe and environmental installation of methyl or ethyl group into molecular scaffolds. The method possesses high chemoselectivity

are readily accessible from carboxylic acids, are utilized as general primary, secondary, and tertiary alkylating reagents for iron‐catalyzed vinylic C−H alkylation of vinyl arenes, dienes, and 1,3‐enynes. This transformation affords olefinic products in up to 98 % yield with high E/Z values. A broad range of functionalities, including carboxyl, boronic acid, methoxy, ester, amino, and halides, are

The chemoselective formation of trialkyl(benzylidene) ylides in water and their Wittigreaction with aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes provides a practical, stereoselective and environmentally benign route to valuable (E)-stilbenes and alkenes. The synthesis of the phytoalexin resveratrol is described. In addition, the method allows for a gram-scale synthesis of the anticancer agent DMU-212 utilizing
Ir-Catalyzed Distal Branch-Selective Hydroarylation of Unactivated Internal Alkenes with Benzanilides via C–H Activation along with Consecutive Isomerization
We herein report a synergistic strategy of C–Hactivation and consecutive isomerization catalyzed by an Ir catalyst to selectively obtain branched isomers as C–H alkylated products of benzanilide derivatives. A well-tuned ligand and a directing group are crucial to achieve this selectivity. The scope of this reaction is demonstrated by the use of a variety of substituents and complex molecules.
