Catalytic Pd(OAc)2 and polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS), in conjunction with aqueous KF, and a catalytic amount of an aromaticchloride, effects the chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective deoxygenation of benzylic oxygenated substrates at room temperature in THF. Preliminary mechanistic experiments suggest the process to involve palladium−nanoparticle-catalyzed hydrosilylation followed by C−O reduction
E)/others ratio, which demonstrates the partial isomerization of (E)-allylcopper(I) species to (Z)-allylcopper(I) species through 1,3-migration. Subsequent Heck reaction and olefin metathesis compensate for the low efficiency with C1-1,4-dienes. The synthetic utility of the product is further demonstrated by a copper(I)-catalyzed regioselective borylation of the 1,3-diene group.
通过使用市售的 1,4-戊二烯作为亲核试剂,实现了铜(I)催化的酮的区域选择性不对称烯丙基化。各种带有末端 ( Z )-1,3-二烯单元的手性叔醇以高 ( Z )/( E ) 比和高对映选择性生成。芳族酮和脂族酮均用作合适的底物。此外,与 ( E )-C 1 (烷基)-1,4-二烯的反应以中等产率进行,具有可接受的对映选择性,但 ( Z , E ) / 其他比率较低,这证明了 ( E )-烯丙基铜的部分异构化(I) 物种到 ( Z)-烯丙基铜 (I) 物种通过 1,3-迁移。随后的 Heck 反应和烯烃复分解用 C 1 -1,4-二烯弥补了低效率。该产品的合成效用通过铜 (I) 催化的 1,3-二烯基团的区域选择性硼酸化得到进一步证明。

A highly enantioselective kinetic resolution of diols via asymmetricacetalization has been achieved using a chiral confined imidodiphosphoric acid catalyst. The reaction is highly efficient for the resolution of tertiary alcohols, giving selectivity factors of up to >300. Remarkably, even in cases where the selectivity factors are only moderate, highly enantioenriched diols are obtained via a stereodivergent
A copper(I)-catalyzed enantioselective addition of enynes to ketones was developed. The method allows facile construction of enantiomerically enriched tertiary alcohols using skipped enynes as stable hydrocarbon pronucleophiles. The combination of a soft copper(I)-conjugated Brønsted base catalyst with a chiral diphosphine ligand, (S,S)-Ph-BPE, enabled chemoselective deprotonation of the skipped enynes

Carbon, dioxide exhibits many of the qualities of an ideal reagent: it is nontoxic, plentiful, and inexpensive. Unlike other gaseous reagents, however, it has found limited use in enantioselective synthesis. Moreover, unprecedented is a tool that merges one of the Simplest biological :approaches to catalysis-Bronsted acid/base activation with this abundant reagent. We describe a metal-free small molecule catalyst that achieves the three component reaction between a homoallylic alcohol, carbon dioxide, and an electrophilic Source of iodine. Cyclic carbonates are formed enantioselectively.
