A cationic ruthenium(II) complex catalyzes double-bond transposition of 1,1-di(boryl)alk-3-enes to generate in situ 1,1-di(boryl)alk-2-enes, which then undergo chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed allylation of aldehydes producing homoallylic alcohols with a (Z)-vinylboronate moiety. 1,2-Anti stereochemistry is installed in an enantioselective manner. The (Z)-geometry forged in the products allows their isolation in a form of 1,2-oxaborinan-3-enes, upon which further synthetic transformations are operated.

Abstract

A photo-induced carboxylation reaction of allylic C−H bonds of simple alkenes with CO2 is prompted by means of a ketone and a copper complex. The unique carboxylation reaction proceeds through a sequence of an endergonic photoreaction of ketones with alkenes forming homoallyl alcohol intermediates and a thermal copper-catalyzed allyl transfer reaction from the homoallyl alcohols to CO2 through C−C bond cleavage.

A copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes with sulfonyl azides affords 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles, which then react with thionoesters in the presence of a rhodium(II) catalyst.

An efficient one-pot two-step procedure for asymmetric synthesis of piperidine-fused trans-cycloalkenes is reported. The method comprises the initial enantioselective installation of another cyclopropane ring onto methylenecyclopropanes and the subsequent thermal skeletal rearrangement in which the installed and inherent cyclopropane rings are both opened. A concerted mechanism is proposed for the latter thermal rearrangement reaction together with a closed transition state model.

Abstract

Relay actions of copper, rhodium, and gold formulate a one-pot multistep pathway, which directly gives 2,5-dihydropyrroles starting from terminal alkynes, sulfonyl azides, and propargylic alcohols. Initially, copper-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes with sulfonyl azides affords 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles, which then react with propargylic alcohols under the catalysis of rhodium. The resulting alkenyl propargyl ethers subsequently undergo the thermal Claisen rearrangement to give α-allenyl-α-amino ketones. Finally, a gold catalyst prompts 5-endo cyclization to produce 2,5-dihydropyrroles.

The C–C bond of cyclobutanones undergoes oxidative addition to a T-shape rhodium(I) complex possessing a PBP pincer ligand at room temperature. The remarkable propensity of the rhodium complex for oxidative addition is attributed to the highly electron-donating nature of the boron ligand as well as the unsaturation on the rhodium center.

Abstract

A directed cross-aldol reaction of silyl enol ethers with carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, promoted by a Lewis acid, a reaction which is now widely known as the Mukaiyama aldol reaction. It was first reported in 1973, and this year marks the 40th anniversary. The directed cross-aldol reactions mediated by boron enolates and tin(II) enolates also emerged from the Mukaiyama laboratory. These directed cross-aldol reactions have become invaluable tools for the construction of stereochemically complex molecules from two carbonyl compounds. This Minireview provides a succinct historical overview of their discoveries and the early stages of their development.

A rhodium catalyst induced ring opening of benzocyclobutenols with selective cleavage of the C(sp2)–C(sp3) bond adjacent to the hydroxyl group. The site-selectivity markedly contrasted with that of their thermal ring-opening reaction. The rhodium-catalyzed ring opening led to the development of a new alkyne insertion reaction constructing a dihydronaphthalene framework.

N-Sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles react with water in the presence of a rhodium catalyst to produce α-amino ketones in high yield. An intermediary α-imino rhodium(II) carbenoid undergoes insertion into the O–H bond of water. This transformation formally achieves 1,2-aminohydroxylation of terminal alkynes in a regioselective fashion when combined with the copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with N-sulfonyl azides.

A series of cyclobutenes bearing group 14 elements at the 3-position were synthesized, and their thermal ring-opening reactions were studied. Carbon-substituted cyclobutene underwent the ring-opening reaction through an outward pathway to afford the E-diene exclusively. On the other hand, the ring-opening reaction of the silyl, germyl, and stannyl substituted cyclobutenes occurred in both outward and inward directions giving a mixture of E and Z isomers. The structural features of the calculated transition state and population analysis suggested that the formation of the Z-isomer could be ascribed to the donor/acceptor interaction between the HOMO and the σ* orbital of group 14 elements. Interestingly, the order of inward preference was Si > Sn > Ge. These rotational behaviors of silyl, germyl, and stannyl substituents were explained by taking into account the energy gap and the magnitude of overlap between the σ* orbital and HOMO.

1,2,3-Benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones react with 1,3-dienes in the presence of a nickel(0)/phosphine complex to give a variety of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones. Oxidative insertion of nickel(0) into the triazinone moiety prompts extrusion of dinitrogen to give a five-membered ring azanickelacyclic intermediate. Subsequent insertion of 1,3-dienes into the nickel−carbon bond followed by allylic amidation affords 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones. Alkenes also undergo insertion into the five-membered ring azanickelacyclic intermediate, and subsequent reductive elimination gives 3-substituted 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones.

Abstract

Methoxy-substituted 1,6-enynes react with arylboronic acids in the presence of a rhodium(I) complex to give arylated cyclization products. This occurs by a multi-step mechanism consisting of rhodium/boron transmetalation, intermolecular carborhodation, intramolecular carborhodation, β-hydride elimination, hydrorhodation, and β-oxygen elimination. A shift of the position of a carbon–carbon double bond is observed, suggesting that the β-hydride elimination/hydrorhodation process is repeatedly taking place.

The reaction of arylboronic acids with 1,6-enynes that contain an allylic ether moiety is catalyzed by a rhodium(I) complex to produce cyclopentanes with a tetrasubstituted exo olefin and a pendant vinyl group. The reaction is initiated by the regioselective addition of an arylrhodium(I) species to the carbon–carbon triple bond of the 1,6-enyne. The resulting alkenylrhodium(I) compound subsequently undergoes intramolecular carborhodation of the allylic double bond in a 5-exo-trig mode. β Elimination of the methoxy group affords the cyclization product and the catalytically active methoxorhodium(I) species. The use of alkyl Grignard reagents instead of arylboronic acids as organometallic nucleophiles was also examined.

A palladium catalyst serves as a template for the assembly of a nine-membered carbocycle from two molecules of vinylallene and one molecule of carbon monoxide [Eq. (a)]. This unprecedented [4+4+1] cycloaddition is in marked contrast to the [4+1] cycloaddition mediated by rhodium(I) catalysts.

Als Templat dient ein Palladium(0)-Katalysator beim Aufbau neungliedriger Kohlenstoffringe aus zwei Molekülen eines Vinylallens und einem Molekül Kohlenmonoxid [Gl. (a)]. Diese präzedenzlose [4+4+1]-Cycloaddition unterscheidet sich deutlich von der [4+1]-Cycloaddition, die bei Verwendung von Rhodium(I)-Katalysatoren beobachtet wird.

This article highlights recent developments in the formation of carbocycles via multiple carborhodation steps triggered by the rhodium-catalysed intermolecular addition of organoborons. Various types of cascade reactions have been developed to demonstrate that multiple carborhodation steps can precede potentially competing processes such as protonolysis.

A series of cyclobutenes bearing group 14 elements at the 3-position were synthesized, and their thermal ring-opening reactions were studied. Carbon-substituted cyclobutene underwent the ring-opening reaction through an outward pathway to afford the E-diene exclusively. On the other hand, the ring-opening reaction of the silyl, germyl, and stannyl substituted cyclobutenes occurred in both outward and inward directions giving a mixture of E and Z isomers. The structural features of the calculated transition state and population analysis suggested that the formation of the Z-isomer could be ascribed to the donor/acceptor interaction between the HOMO and the σ* orbital of group 14 elements. Interestingly, the order of inward preference was Si > Sn > Ge. These rotational behaviors of silyl, germyl, and stannyl substituents were explained by taking into account the energy gap and the magnitude of overlap between the σ* orbital and HOMO.

Reactions cleaving carbon–carbon bonds with the assistance of transition metals as the catalyst have provided various molecular transformations that are otherwise difficult to execute, opening a scenic avenue along organic synthesis. Construction of structural motifs like medium-sized carbocycles and chiral quaternary carbon centres have been set within an access of such paradoxical approaches in the past decade.

A new procedure for the stereoselective synthesis of syn α-amino β-oxy ketones is reported. It consists of two steps; in the first step, α-amino silyl enol ethers having a (Z) geometry are prepared from 1-alkynes via 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles. In the second step, the silyl enol ethers undergo the TiCl4-mediated Mukaiyama aldol reaction with aldehydes to produce α-amino β-oxy ketones with excellent syn-selectivity.
