A cationic cobalt catalyst efficiently promoted the reaction of -alkoxycarbonyloxyanilines at 30 °C, affording the corresponding -aminophenols in good to high yields. As reported previously, our mechanistic studies including oxygen-18 labelling experiments indicate that the rearrangement of the alkoxycarbonyloxy group proceeds in [1,3]-manner. In this article, we discuss the overall picture of the cobalt-catalysed [1,3]-rearrangement reaction including details of the reaction conditions and substrate scope.

A highly enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed semipinacol rearrangement of symmetric α,α-diarylallylic alcohols is disclosed. A chiral cobalt-salen catalyst generates a highly electrophilic carbocation surrogate following hydrogen atom transfer and radical-polar crossover steps. This methodology provides access to enantioenriched α-aryl ketones through invertive displacement of a cobalt(IV) complex during 1,2-aryl migration.

A cobalt-catalyzed intramolecular Markovnikov hydroalkoxycarbonylation and hydroaminocarbonylation of unactivated alkenes has been developed, enabling highly chemo- and regioselective synthesis of α-alkylated γ-lactones and α-alkylated γ-lactams in good yields. The mild reaction conditions allow use of mono-, di- and trisubstituted alkenes bearing a variety of functional groups. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest the reaction proceeds through a CO-mediated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and radical-polar crossover (RPC) process, in which a cationic acylcobalt(IV) complex is proposed as the key intermediate.

Even though metal-catalyzed enantioselective hydroborations of alkenes have attracted enormous attention, few preparatively useful reactions of α-alkyl acrylic acid derivatives are known, and most use rhodium catalysts. No examples of asymmetric hydroboration of the corresponding α-arylacrylic acid esters are known. In our continuing efforts to search for new applications of earth-abundant cobalt catalysts for broadly applicable organic transformations, we have identified 2-(2-diarylphosphinophenyl)oxazoline ligands and mild reaction conditions for efficient and highly regio- and enantioselective hydroboration of α-alkyl- and α-aryl- acrylates, giving β-borylated propionates.

We describe the synthesis and characterisation of four organic Lewis acids based on fluorophosphoniums, with tetracarbonyl cobaltate as the counter-anion: [RPF][Co(CO)] (with R = -Tol, Cy, Pr, and Bu). Their catalytic activity was investigated for the carbonylation of β-lactones to succinic anhydrides. In the presence of [BuPF][Co(CO)] IV (3 mol%), 90% of succinic anhydride was afforded from β-propiolactone after 16 h at 80 °C, at a very mild pressure of 2 bar of carbon monoxide.

Organosilicon and organotin compounds have been widely used in many fields, such as organic synthesis, materials science, and biochemistry, because of their unique physical and electronic properties. Recently, two novel compounds containing C-Si or C-Sn bonds have been synthesized. These compounds can be used for late modification of drug-like molecules such as probenecid, duloxetine, and fluoxetine derivatives.
