Three- and four-membered rings, widespread motifs in nature medicinal chemistry, have fascinated chemists ever since their discovery. However, due to energetic considerations, small rings are often difficult assemble. In this regard, homogeneous gold catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool construct these highly strained carbocycles. This review aims provide comprehensive summary of all the major advances discoveries made gold-catalyzed synthesis cyclopropanes, cyclopropenes, cyclobutanes, cyclobutenes, corresponding heterocyclic or heterosubstituted analogs.

Опубликована: Окт. 7, 2020

Gold carbenes are highly active intermediates in homogeneous gold catalysis, enabling a large array of transformations such as C–H/X–H insertions, cyclopropanations, and 1,2-migrations. Unlike insertions 1,2-migrations onto carbene centers seem to be attracting less attention. There has been no comprehensive review focusing on this topic, even though chemistry become powerful tool for the rapid simple construction molecular complexity. This provides critical information centers, drawing preliminary conclusion migratory aptitude various groups. The is divided into several parts according kind precursors.

Enantioselective transition metal catalysis is an area very much at the forefront of contemporary synthetic research. The development processes that enable efficient synthesis enantiopure compounds unquestionable importance to chemists working within many diverse fields central science. Traditional approaches solving this challenge have typically relied on leveraging repulsive steric interactions between chiral ligands and substrates in order raise energy one diastereomeric states over other. By contrast, Review examines alternative tactic which a set attractive noncovalent operating are used control enantioselectivity. Examples where creative approach has been successfully applied render fundamental enantioselective presented discussed. In cases examined, ligand scaffold carefully designed accommodate these interactions, while others, critical was only elucidated subsequent computational mechanistic studies. Through exploration discussion recent reports encompassing wide range reaction classes, we hope inspire continue develop asymmetric transformations based powerful concept.

Gold chemistry has developed extensively in the past decade, and a dozen good reviews have been presented discussing this progress. Few however paid close attention to progress organic synthesis of dinuclear gold-catalysis. A gold catalyst is defined here as complex with two centers linked by bidentate ligand. With theoretical analysis some representative studies recent years, comprehensive review highlights particular properties gold-complexes, especially aurophilic interactions, systematically summarizes achievements gold-catalyzed coupling reactions, asymmetric catalysis, photocatalysis, where catalysts tend show greater advantage than mononuclear catalysts.

The [2+2] cycloaddition is a versatile strategy for the synthesis of strained cyclobutenes high synthetic value. In this study, two efficient intermolecular cycloadditions between different types chloroalkynes and unactivated alkene are realized with gold catalysis. Of significance that reaction works challenging monosubstituted alkenes, which unprecedented in catalysis scarcely documented other metal-catalyzed/promoted reactions; moreover, exhibits excellent regioselectivities, much better than those reported literature.

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2023

Although ring-opening reactions of bicyclobutanes bearing electron-withdrawing groups, typically with β-selectivity, have evolved as a powerful platform for synthesis cyclobutanes, their application in the cyclobutenes remains underdeveloped. Here, novel visible light induced α-selective radical reaction 1,3-disubstituted acyl alkyl precursors functionalized is described. In particular, primary, secondary, and tertiary halides are all suitable substrates this photocatalytic transformation, providing ready access to single all-carbon quaternary center, or two contiguous centers under mild conditions.
