ACS Catalysis, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 11(7), P. 3891 - 3915

Published: March 15, 2021

Multicatalysis is an emerging field targeting the development of efficient catalytic transformations to quickly convert relatively simple starting materials into more complex value-added products. Within multicatalytic processes either multiple catalysts execute single reactions or precise sequences occur in a "one-pot" fashion. Attractively, protocols not only enable that are inaccessible through classic approaches but also able significantly reduce time, waste, and cost synthetic processes, making organic synthesis resources efficient. In this Perspective article, we review different strategies multicatalysis bring distinct challenges opportunities. We divide overarching three main categories: cooperative, domino, relay catalysis. Each category described along with representative examples highlight its features. Special emphasis dedicated catalysis, which further discussed subcategories. Lastly, provide analysis systems incorporate higher levels complexity underscore potential systems.

Enantio- and Diastereodivergent Construction of 1,3-Nonadjacent Stereocenters Bearing Axial and Central Chirality through Synergistic Pd/Cu Catalysis

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 143(32), P. 12622 - 12632

Published: Aug. 5, 2021

In contrast to the widely explored methods for asymmetric synthesis of molecules bearing a single stereocenter or adjacent stereocenters, concurrent construction 1,3-stereogenic centers in an enantio- and diastereoselective manner remains challenge, especially acyclic systems. Herein, we report diastereodivergent 1,3-nonadjacent stereocenters allenyl axial central chirality through synergistic Pd/Cu-catalyzed dynamic kinetic allenylation with racemic allenylic esters. The protocol is suitable wide range substrates including challenging esters less sterically bulky substituents provided chiral products high levels diastereoselectivities (up >20:1 dr >99% ee). Furthermore, several representative transformations involving axial-to-central transfer were conducted, affording useful structural motifs containing nonadjacent manner.

Abstract Bimetallic catalysis has emerged as an efficient strategy for the development of new chemical reactions. Importantly, this also provides a simple and powerful platform stereodivergent synthesis, whereby all possible stereoisomers products bearing two stereocenters can be easily prepared from same set starting materials.
