Regio- and stereoselective anti-Markovnikoff hydrosulfonylation of conjugated dienes via .pi.-allylpalladium complex: synthesis of (Z)-.DELTA.3-alkenyl sulfones
practical catalyst for this process has thus far proven elusive. Here, we report the design of a pyridyl-substituted bidentate phosphine ligand (HeMaRaphos) that, upon coordination to palladium, catalyzes adipate diester formation from 1,3-butadiene, carbon monoxide, and butanol with 97% selectivity and 100% atom-economy under industrially viable and scalable conditions (turnover number > 60,000). This catalyst
Chemistry of Dienyl Anions. I. Crystalline Dienyl Anions by Direct Reaction of Conjugated and Non-conjugated Dienes with Alkali Metals in the Presence of Et<sub>3</sub>N
Series of acyclic and cyclic dienyl anions were prepared from both conjugated and non-conjugated dienes by direct metalation with alkalimetals (Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) in tetrahydrofuran in the pre...
