AI Article Synopsis

  • New families of enantiopure bis(oxazolines) with distinct stereochemistry (4,5-trans and 4,5-cis) were synthesized with high efficiency.
  • The trans oxazoline derivatives formed eta(3)-allyl palladium complexes that were effective in catalyzing allylic alkylation reactions with high enantioselectivity, reaching up to 96%.
  • NMR studies revealed the presence of different isomer forms in the palladium intermediates, highlighting a novel case of isomerism in Pd allylic complexes with malonic acid-derived bis(oxazolines).

Article Abstract

New families of enantiopure bis(oxazolines) with 4,5-trans (5 a-g) or 4,5-cis (6 c) stereochemistry at the individual rings have been prepared in high yield. Their eta(3)-allyl palladium complexes (8 a-g, 9 c and 10) have been used as catalytic precursors in allylic alkylation reactions with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96 %) for the trans oxazoline derivatives, while Pd/6 c system was inactive. NMR studies on palladium eta(3)-1,3-diphenylallyl intermediates (11 a, c and e) showed the presence of syn/syn- and syn/anti-allyl isomers in solution; this resembles the first example of eta(3)-eta(1)-eta(3) isomerism in Pd allylic complexes containing bis(oxazolines) derived from malonic acid.

Regio- and Enantioselective Rhodium-Catalyzed Allylic Arylation of Racemic Allylic Carbonates with Arylboronic Acids.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Shanghai Inst Org Chem, State Key Lab Organometallic Chem, 345 Lingling Lu, 200032, Shanghai, CHINA.

Rhodium-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective allylic arylation of racemic alkyl- and aryl- substituted allylic carbonates with arylboronic acids using commercially available BIBOP ligand is reported. This reaction proceeds at room temperature without base or other additive to deliver allylic arylation products in excellent yields, regio- and enantioselectivity (up to 95% yield, >20:1 b/l, >99% ee). Rh/BIBOP is disclosed as an efficient catalytic system for allylic substitution reaction.

Dynamic Kinetic Activation of Aziridines Enables Radical-Polar Crossover (4 + 3) Cycloaddition with 1,3-Dienes.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Applied Organic Chemistry & College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China.

The cycloaddition of aziridines with unsaturated compounds is a valuable method for synthesizing nitrogen heterocycles. However, this process is predominantly substrate-controlled, posing significant challenges in regulating the regioselectivity of the C-N bond cleavage. In this study, we report a nickel-catalyzed dynamic kinetic activation strategy that enables catalyst-controlled activation of aziridines.

One-Pot Domino Catalysis to Construct Alkyl/Aryl Pyrroles Initiated by Pd-TMM Annulation of Unactivated Imines.

Org Lett

January 2025

China Guangxi Key Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Precision Detection and Screening, Guangxi Key Laboratory of Bioactive Molecules Research and Evaluation, and Key Laboratory of Micro-Nanoscale Bioanalysis and Drug Screening of Guangxi Education Department, Pharmaceutical College, Guangxi Medical University, Nanning 530021, China.

Herein, a one-pot domino catalyzed three-component process is described, which is initiated by a palladium/zinc cooperatively catalyzed cycloaddition between trimethylenemethane (TMM) and unactivated alkyl/aryl imines, followed by one-pot isomerization and Zn(OTf)-catalyzed DDQ oxidation, furnishing valuable substituted pyrroles. We disclose that the palladium/zinc cooperative catalysis affords a dual-Zn(OTf)-stabilized azapalladacycle, wherein the Pd-N bond is polarized by Zn(OTf), facilitating a unique outer-sphere allylic amination. Moreover, subsequent DDQ dehydrogenation can be feasibly promoted by zinc catalysis.

We report herein a palladium-catalyzed distal alkylation of silyldienol and silyltrienol ethers of enones through coupling with activated halides to achieve new - and -alkylated motifs. Additionally, by employing propargyl bromides, synthetically useful linear allenes along with functionalized enones have been synthesized. Low-catalyst loading, and late-stage transformations of pharmaceutically relevant molecules further showcase the importance of the present protocol.
