Ir‐Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of gem‐Diborylalkenes Enabled by 1,2‐Boron Shift

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 62(32)

Published: June 15, 2023

Abstract Asymmetric cross‐couplings based on 1,2‐carbon migration from B‐ate complexes have been developed efficiently to access valuable organoboronates. However, enantioselective reactions triggered by 1,2‐boron shift remained be unaddressed synthetic challenge. Here, Ir‐catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation enabled was developed. In this reaction, we disclosed that excellent enantioselectivities were achieved through an interesting dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) process of carbonates at the elevated temperature. Notably, highly (bis‐boryl)alkenes array diversifications versatile molecules. Extensive experimental and computational studies conducted elucidate reaction mechanism DKR clarify origin enantioselectivities.

Regioselective Formal β‐Allylation of Carbonyl Compounds Enabled by Cooperative Nickel and Photoredox Catalysis

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 62(37)

Published: May 4, 2023

The Tsuji-Trost reaction between carbonyl compounds and allylic precursors has been widely used in the synthesis of natural products pharmaceutical compounds. As α-C-H bond is far more acidic than β-C-H bond, undergo highly regioselective allylation at α-position their β-allylation therefore challenging. This innate α-reactivity conversely hampers diversity, especially if corresponding product targeted. Herein, we present a formal intermolecular β-C-C formation broad range aldehydes ketones with different allyl electrophiles through cooperative nickel photoredox catalysis. β-Selectivity achieved via initial transformation to silyl enol ethers. overall features mild conditions, excellent regioselectivity, wide functional group tolerance high efficiency. introduced facile proceeding catalysis allows preparation valuable building blocks that are difficult access from using existing methodology.
