Carbonyl Allylation in the Absence of Preformed Allyl Metal Reagents: Reverse Prenylation via Iridium-Catalyzed Hydrogenative Coupling of Dimethylallene
摘要:
Iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation of dimethylallene in the presence of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic carbonyl electrophiles 1a-12a delivers products of reverse prenylation 1b-12b. Reductive coupling of dimethyl allene to aldehyde 8a under an atmosphere of deuterium provides deuterio -8b. As revealed by H-2 NMR analysis, deuterium incorporation is observed at the vinylic position (80% H-2). Unlike established methods for carbonyl allylation, the present protocol circumvents the use of stoichiometrically preformed organometallic reagents.
Isoprene reacts with aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2–4PPh3 or Pd(PPh3)4 and a stoichiometric amount of SnCl2 at 40–50 °C in AcOH–H2O to produce 1-substituted 2,2-dimethyl-3-buten-1-ols regioselectively.

Catalytic methods allowing for the reliable prediction and control of diverse regioselectivity along with the control of enantioselectivity to access different regio‐ and enantiomers by switching the least reaction parameters are one of the most attractive ways in organic synthesis, which provide access to diverse enantioenriched architectures from identical starting materials. Herein, a Co‐catalyzed regiodivergent and enantioselective reductive hydroalkylation of 1,3‐dienes with aldehydes have been achieved, furnishing different enantioenriched homoallylic alcohol architectures in good levels of enantioselectivity. The reaction features the switch of regioselectivity tuned by the selection of proton source. The use of an acid as proton source provided asymmetric 1,2‐hydroalkylation products under reductive conditions, yet asymmetric 4,3‐hydroalkylation products were obtained with silane as hydride source. This catalytic protocol allows for the access of homoallylic alcohols with two continuous saturated carbon centers in good levels of regio‐, diastereo‐, and enantioselectivity.
