AI Article Synopsis

  • The study presents a method using rhodium catalysts to create chiral tertiary boronic esters from allylic phosphonates through hydroboration with pinacolborane.
  • These β-borylated phosphonates can be easily transformed into various chiral hydroxyphosphonates and aminophosphonates, as well as phosphonates with quaternary carbon stereocenters.
  • The practical application of this method is demonstrated by synthesizing (S)-(+)-bakuchiol methyl ether, showcasing its relevance in producing complex organic molecules.

Article Abstract

Highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed hydroboration of allylic phosphonates by pinacolborane affords chiral tertiary boronic esters. The β-borylated phosphonates are readily converted to chiral β- and γ-hydroxyphosphonates and aminophosphonates and to phosphonates bearing a quaternary carbon stereocenter. The utility of the latter is illustrated by the synthesis of (S)-(+)-bakuchiol methyl ether.

In China, the crude oil supply is highly dependent on overseas countries, and thus strengthening crude oil self-sufficiency has become an important issue of the national energy security. Tertiary oil recovery, especially polymer flooding, has been widely applied in large oil fields in China, which can increase the recovery rate by 15%-20% compared with water flooding. However, the widely used oil flooding polymers show poor thermal stability and salinity tolerance, complicated synthesis ways of monomers, and environmental unfriendliness.

An asymmetric photoredox catalytic Minisci-type reaction between α-bromide amides and imine-containing azaarenes has been successfully developed. This catalyst system employs a chiral phosphoric acid alongside 3DPAFIPN as a photosensitizer. The reaction produces a diverse array of valuable amides, featuring azaarene-substituted tertiary carbon stereocenters at the β-position, in high yields (up to 85%) and good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% enantiomeric excess (ee)).

Total syntheses of the parvistemoline alkaloids enabled by stereocontrolled Ir/Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation.

The functionalized polycycle with densely contiguous tertiary stereocenters is a formidable challenge in synthesizing the parvistemoline family of Stemona alkaloids. We herein report their catalytic, asymmetric total syntheses in 13-14 steps from commercially available 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-pyrrole, featuring the development and deployment of an Ir/Pd-synergistically-catalyzed allylation of α-non-substituted keto esters with secondary aryl-substituted alcohols, stereodivergently accessible to four stereoisomers. Using chiral Pd-enolate and Ir π-allyl complex under neutral conditions, no epimerization occurs.

The [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides is traditionally observed as a competitive minor pathway alongside the thermally allowed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Concerted [1,2]-rearrangements are formally forbidden, with these processes believed to proceed through homolytic C-N bond fission of the ylide, followed by radical-radical recombination. The challenges associated with developing a catalytic enantioselective [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides therefore lie in biasing the reaction pathway to favor the [1,2]-reaction product, alongside controlling a stereoselective radical-radical recombination event.
