A copper-catalyzed regiodivergent hydrosilylation of a wide range of simple allenes is reported. Linear and branched allylsilanes were formed by judicious choice of solvents. Furthermore, branched allylsilanes were obtained with high enantioselectivity (up to 97% enantiomeric excess) with the aid of a C2-symmetric bisphosphine ligand in the unprecedented asymmetric allene hydrosilylation.

Copper-Catalyzed Regiodivergent Asymmetric Difunctionalization of Terminal Alkynes.

We herein describe the first example of ligand-controlled, copper-catalyzed regiodivergent asymmetric difunctionalization of terminal alkynes through a cascade hydroboration and hydroallylation process. The catalytic system, consisting of (R)-DTBM-Segphos and CuBr, could efficiently achieve asymmetric 1,1-difunctionalization of aryl terminal alkynes, while ligand switching to (S,S)-Ph-BPE could result in asymmetric 1,2-difunctionalization exclusively. In addition, alkyl substituted terminal alkynes, especially industrially relevant acetylene and propyne, were also valid feedstocks for asymmetric 1,1-difunctionalization.

Copper-Initiated Regiodivergent Chloropentafluorosulfanylation of 1,3-Enynes under Substrate Control.

Institute of Frontier Chemistry School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shandong University, Qingdao 266237, P. R. China.

A copper-catalyzed regiodivergent chloropentafluorosulfanylation strategy for 1,3-enynes using SFCl has been developed. The regioselectivity is dictated by the structural and substitution patterns of 1,3-enynes, enabling facile access to three classes of SF-containing products: propargylic chlorides, 1,3-dienes, and allenes. The reaction systems involve radical species, where the transfer of a chlorine atom from SFCl to a carbon radical is considered the predominant pathway.

Quaternary amino acids are one of the essential building blocks and precursors of medicinally important compounds. Various synthetic strategies towards their synthesis have been reported. On the other hand, developing core-structure-oriented cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions, is a largely unsolved problem.

Copper-Catalyzed Enantioselective and Regiodivergent Allylation of Ketones with Allenylsilanes.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

State Key Laboratory of Natural Medicines (SKLNM) and Department of Medicinal Chemistry, School of Pharmacy, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing, 210009, P. R. China.

We report herein a regiodivergent and enantioselective allyl addition to ketones with allenylsilanes through copper catalysis. With the combination of CuOAc, a Josiphos-type bidentate phosphine ligand and PhSiH , allyl addition to a variety of ketones furnishes branched products in excellent enantioselectivities. The regioselectivity is completely reversed by employing the P-stereogenic ligand BenzP*, affording the linear products with excellent enantioselectivities and good Z-selectivities.

Copper-Catalyzed Regiodivergent Internal Allylic Alkylations.

We report a copper-catalyzed, regioselective, and stereospecific alkylation of unbiased internal allylic carbonates with functionalized alkyl and aryl Grignard reagents. The reactions exhibit high stereospecificity and regioselectivity for either S 2 or S 2' products under two sets of copper-catalyzed conditions, which enables the preparation of a broad range of products with E-alkene selectivity. Density functional theory calculations reveal the origins of the regioselectivity based on the different behaviors of homo- and heterocuprates.
