Phenanthroline and tert-butoxide have been established as powerful radical initiators in reactions such as the S(RN)1-type coupling reactions due to the cooperation of large heteroarenes and a special feature of tert-butoxide. The first phenanthroline-tert-butoxide-catalyzed transition-metal-free allylic isomerization is described. The resulting ketones are key intermediates for indenes. The control experiments rule out the base-promoted allylic anion pathway. The radical pathway is supported by experimental evidence that includes kinetic study, kinetic isotope effect, isotope-labeling experiments, trapping experiments, and EPR experiments.

addition of carbon nucleophiles to electron-deficient ketones. Yet, 1,6-conjugate additions of extended conjugated systems largely remain underexplored due to difficulties in controlling the regioselectivity. Herein, we report umpolung aldehydes as carbanion equivalents for highly regioselective 1,6-conjugate addition reactions to unsaturated ketones, with preliminary studies of the enantioselective variant
构建 C-C 键的最有效和最可靠的方法之一涉及将碳亲核试剂共轭加成到缺电子酮上。然而,由于难以控制区域选择性,扩展共轭体系的 1,6-共轭添加在很大程度上仍未得到充分探索。在这里,我们报告了 umpolung 醛作为碳负离子等价物,用于对不饱和酮进行高度区域选择性的 1,6-共轭加成反应,并对对映选择性变体进行了初步研究。钌( II )催化剂和富电子二齿膦配体的协同作用对于温和反应条件下的反应性和选择性至关重要。

TpRuPPh3(CH3CN)2PF6 catalyzed the transformation of various 3-benzyl but-1-ynyl ethers into dienes and benzaldehyde at a catalyst loading of 5 mol %. This process represents an atypical pattern of transfer hydrogenation. This catalytic reaction can be applied to various derivatives of 2-ethynyl tetrahydrofurans and pyrans to cleave their ether rings and gives diene and tethered aldehyde functionalities
Unique site-selectivity control in asymmetric Michael addition of azlactone to alkenyl dienyl ketones enabled by P-spiro chiral iminophosphorane catalysis
and enantioselective 1,6-addition of azlactone to various alkenyl dienylketones has been achieved under P-spiro chiral triaminoiminophosphorane catalysis. This site-selectivity control relies on the distinct ability of the conjugate acids of iminophosphoranes, aminophosphonium ions, to precisely differentiate between the three electrophilic reaction sites of alkenyl dienylketones, which is further demonstrated
Annulation of α,β-unsaturatedamides with electron-deficient 1,3-dienes gave 5,6-dihydropyridin-2(1H)-ones in the presence of a hydroxoiridium catalyst. The reaction proceeded via direct C–H alkyla...
A tri‐ing reaction: An asymmetricDiels–Alder cycloaddition of δ,δ‐disubstituted 2,4‐dienones is possible through the trienaminecatalysis of cinchona‐based primary amines (see scheme). An array of electron‐deficient dienophiles, such as N‐substituted maleimides and 3‐alkenyl oxindoles, were tolerated, and multifunctional cyclohexene derivatives were obtained in excellent stereoselectivity and with
