Highly regioselective vinylation of electron-rich olefins by bromo- as well as chlorostyrenes is effected by palladium catalysis with either mono- or bidentate phosphines in a molecular solvent, with no need for halide scavengers, ionic liquids, or ionic additives. The use of the hemilabile 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane monoxide (dpppO) as a ligand led to faster reactions of more challenging 2-substituted

boronates are among the most versatile building blocks that can be found in every sector of chemical science. We herein report a noble-metal-free method of accessing such olefins through a photo-induced decarboxylative Heck-type coupling using alkyl carboxylic acids, one of the most ubiquitous building blocks, as the feedstocks. This transformation was achieved in the absence of external oxidants through
1,2-二取代的烯烃,如乙烯基芳烃、乙烯基硅烷和乙烯基硼酸酯,是化学科学各个领域中最通用的结构单元。我们在此报告了一种无贵金属的方法,该方法使用烷基羧酸(最普遍的结构单元之一)作为原料,通过光诱导脱羧 Heck 型偶联获得此类烯烃。这种转变是在没有外部氧化剂的情况下通过有机光氧化还原催化剂和钴肟催化剂的协同组合实现的,H2 和 CO2 作为唯一的副产物。控制实验和 DFT 计算都支持基于自由基的机制,最终导致开发出脂肪族羧酸、丙烯酸酯和乙烯基芳烃的选择性三组分偶联。
The Bu4NI-catalyzed alfa-acyloxylation of ketones with benzylic alcohols
The Bu4NI-catalyzed reaction of ketones with benzylic alcohols was achieved, leading to alfa-acyloxycarbonyl compounds in moderate to good yields. This metal-free procedure featured the employment of facilely and commercially available starting materials and TBHP as a clean oxidant with high atom economy.
When appropriate reaction conditions are used, very high yields of (E)-1-arylalk-1-en-3-one derivatives can be obtained by palladium-catalysed reactions of alk-1-en-3-ones with aryl bromides. The tetraphosphine cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane in combination with [Pd(C3H5)Cl]2 was found to be a very efficient catalyst for this reaction. In general, higher reaction rates were observed with electron-poor aryl bromides, but the electron-rich aryl bromides 1-bromo-4-(dimethylamino)benzene and 4-bromoanisole also led to the arylated enones in high yields. Even with sterically very congested aryl bromides such as 9-bromoanthracene, 1-bromo-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene or 1-bromo-2,4,6-triisopropylbenzene, the expected (E)-1-arylalk-1-en-3-ones were obtained in moderate to good yields. These enones appear to be unstable under the reaction conditions, and the addition of a small amount of hydroquinone to the reaction mixture was found to be crucial, especially for the vinylation of electron-deficient aryl bromides. A variety of alk-1-en-3-ones has been employed, and better results in terms of substrate/catalyst ratios were obtained when oct-1-en-3-one or hex-1-en-3-one was used than when but-1-en-3-one or pent-1-en-3-one was used. It should be noted that several reactions can be performed with as little as 0.1-0.001 mol% catalyst.

alcohols to α,β-enones. A kinetic resolution of secondary propargylic alcohols proceeded with moderate selectivity with [Rh((R)-BINAP)]OTf as a catalyst. Mechanistic studies revealed that the isomerization proceeds through intramolecular 1,3- and 1,2-hydrogen migration pathways. The isomerization of propargylic diol derivatives was also investigated, which revealed that 1,4-diketones, furans, and α,β-enones
