Stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted alkenes is a long-standing challenge in organic chemistry, due to the small energy differences between E and Z isomers (compared with 1,2-disubstituted alkenes). Transition metal-catalyzed isomerization 1,1-disubstituted can serve as an alternative approach alkenes, but it remains underdeveloped owing issues relating reaction efficiency stereoselectivity. Here we show that novel cobalt catalyst overcome these challenges provide efficient stereoselective access broad range alkenes. This protocol compatible both mono- dienes exhibits good functional group tolerance scalability. Moreover, has proven be useful tool construct luminophores deuterated alkene. A preliminary study mechanism suggests cobalt-hydride pathway involved reaction. The high stereoselectivity attributed π–π stacking effect steric hindrance substrate catalyst.

The catalytic isomerization of C–C double bonds is an indispensable chemical transformation used to deliver higher-value analogues and has important utility in the industry. Notwithstanding advances reported this field, there compelling demand for a general solution that enables precise control C═C bond migration position, both cyclic acyclic systems, furnish disubstituted trisubstituted alkenes. Here, we show amounts appropriate earth-abundant iron-based complex, base boryl compound, promote efficient controllable alkene transposition. Mechanistic investigations reveal these processes likely involve situ formation iron-hydride species which promotes olefin through sequential insertion/β-hydride elimination. Through strategy, regiodivergent access different products from one substrate can be facilitated, isomeric mixtures commonly found petroleum-derived feedstock transformed single product, unsaturated moieties embedded within linear heterocyclic biologically active entities obtained.

Abstract Because internal alkenes are more challenging synthetic targets than terminal alkenes, metal‐catalyzed olefin mono‐transposition (i.e., positional isomerization) approaches have emerged to afford valuable E ‐ or Z‐ from their complementary alkene feedstocks. However, the applicability of these methods has been hampered by lack generality, commercial availability precatalysts, and scalability. Here, we report a nickel‐catalyzed platform for stereodivergent / Z ‐selective synthesis at room temperature. Commercial reagents enable this one‐carbon transposition ‐internal via Ni−H‐mediated insertion/elimination mechanism. Though mechanistic regime is same in both systems, underlying pathways that lead each active catalysts distinct, with catalyst forming comproportionation an oxidative addition complex followed substrate protonation metal trialkylphosphonium salt additive. In case, ligand sterics denticity control stereochemistry prevent over‐isomerization.

Double-bond transposition in alkenes (isomerization) offers opportunities for the synthesis of bioactive molecules, but requires high selectivity to avoid mixtures products. Generation Z-alkenes, which are present many natural products and pharmaceuticals, is particularly challenging because it usually less thermodynamically favorable than generation E isomers. We report a β-dialdiminate-supported, high-spin cobalt(I) complex that can convert terminal alkenes, including previously recalcitrant allylbenzenes, Z-2-alkenes with unprecedentedly regioselectivity stereoselectivity. Deuterium labeling studies indicate catalyst operates through π-allyl mechanism, different from alkyl mechanism followed by other Z-selective catalysts. Computations triplet alkene undergoes spin state change resting-state singlet lowest-energy C–H activation transition state, leads Z product. This suggests this enables differentiate stereodefining barriers system, more generally spin-state changes may offer route toward novel stereocontrol methods first-row metals.
