Branching out: The cationic ruthenium–hydride complex [Ru]+ was found to be a highly effective catalyst precursor for the conjugate addition of unactivated olefins to α,β‐unsaturated carbonylcompounds to yield tetrasubstituted olefins. A kinetic analysis provides support for the mechanism involving a regioselective olefin insertion and rapid alkene isomerization steps.
A PhI(OAc)2-promoted dioxygenation of allyl oximes, including one alkoxylation, has been developed. This reaction can give isoxazoline products bearing two contiguous tetrasubstituted carbons. Various oximes substrates bearing different aryl groups and tetrasubstituted-olefin moieties were compatible with the mild reaction conditions. A two-electron oxidation pathway was proposed based on results of
