An effective Pd(OAc)2-PPh3 catalyzed hydroesterification of alkenylphenols with phenyl formate as CO surrogate is described. A variety of lactones are obtained in generally high yields with high regioselectivities. In one case, 76% ee is obtained with a chiral ligand.
Imidazole Derivatives as Accelerators for Ruthenium-Catalyzed Hydroesterification and Hydrocarbamoylation of Alkenes: Extensive Ligand Screening and Mechanistic Study
Imidazolederivatives are effective ligands for promoting the [Ru3(CO)12]‐catalyzed hydroesterification of alkenes using formates. Extensiveligandscreening was performed to identify 2‐hydroxymethylated imidazole as the optimal ligand. Neither carbon monoxide gas nor a directing group was required, and the reaction also showed a wide substrate generality. The Ru–imidazole catalyst system also promoted
Cyclic ketenesilylacetals were utilized for [2 + 2] cycloaddition with propiolates to prevent an undesired electrocyclic ring opening reaction. Trimethylaluminum catalyzed this cycloaddition to afford the cyclobutene derivatives in high yields. The advantage of this reaction was highlighted by the successful application of β-substituted propiolates to afford the multi-substituted cyclobutenes. Furthermore

conrotatory electrocyclicopening of benzocyclobutene to o-xylylene was studied by means of ab initio molecular orbital calculations. The theory developed earlier to predict the torquoselectivity of ringopening of J-substituted cyclobutenes was found to be applicable. Experimentally, the ringopening of several 7-substituted benzocyclobutenes, such as the cyano, methoxycarbonyl, and formyl derivatives was

A palladium-catalyzed intramolecular hydroaminocarbonylation of 2-vinylbenzylamines in the absence of acidic or any other additives was realized via rational designing the catalytic system on the basis of mechanistic studies, which allows for the synthesis of a variety of six-membered lactams in good to excellent yields with high regioselectivity. The postulated palladium-hydride intermediate for initiating
