Anionic diarylrhodium complexes, generated by reacting [RhCl(cod)]2 with 2 equiv of aryl Grignard reagents, were found to be effective active catalysts in cross-coupling reactions of vinyl ethers with aryl Grignard reagents, giving rise to the production of vinyl arenes. In this catalytic system, vinyl-O bonds were preferably cleaved over Ar-O or Ar-Br bonds. A lithium rhodate complex was isolated, and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray crystallography.

Stereoselective Preparation and Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-coupling of Alkenyl Sulfoximine.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

Osaka University: Osaka Daigaku, Department of Applied Chemistry, JAPAN.
Although numerous transition-metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkenyl electrophiles with a sulfur(VI) leaving group, mainly alkenyl sulfones, have been developed, most rely heavily on highly nucleophilic Grignard reagents, and the use of organoboron reagents remains challenging. We report herein facile preparation and the following Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of alkenyl sulfoximine, a monoaza analog of sulfone. The condensation of alkyl sulfoximine with aldehydes, developed in this study, makes alkenyl sulfoximines more readily available.

Herein, we report a method for the regioselective alkylation and phosphonation of quinoline C4-H via a BH-mediated nucleophilic addition of Turbo Grignard reagents and phosphine oxide anions to quinolines bearing different substituents, affording the 4-alkyl and 4-phosphoryl quinolines and tetrahydroquinolines after one-pot oxidation or reduction. The results indicate that coordination of the BH group can activate substrates toward a potential 1,4-dearomative addition and subtly control the regioselectivity by preventing the 1,2-dearomative addition.

Asymmetric synthesis relies on seamless transmission of stereochemical information from a chiral reagent/catalyst to a prochiral substrate. The disruption by substrates' structural changes presents a hurdle in innovating generality-oriented asymmetric catalysis. Here, we report a strategy for substrate adaptability by exploiting a fundamental physicochemical phenomenon-ion hydration, in developing remote desymmetrization to access P-stereogenic triarylphosphine oxides and sulfides.

-alkyl amines can be conveniently prepared in one step from nitriles by a double addition of ethyl or propyl Grignard reagent mediated by a commercially available lanthanum chloride-lithium chloride complex solution. The reaction operates on a variety of benzonitriles, with several heterocyclic nitriles and an alkyl nitrile also being suitable substrates.

Consecutive all-carbon quaternary centers were synthesized in three steps from the corresponding ketones. The three reactions were (1) Knoevenagel condensation of ketone and malononitrile to afford dicyanoalkene, (2) 1,4-addition reaction of a Grignard reagent to dicyanoalkene, and (3) oxidative transformation of a malononitrile moiety to an ester, thioester, amide, and α-nitroketone. This method was applied to the synthesis of 17α-methyl steroids with a good yield and excellent diastereoselectivity.
