Pauson-Khand reactions (PKR) with concomitant C?O bond cleavage have been developed for construction of 5,5- 5,6- and 5,7-bicyclic ring systems bearing complex stereochemistry. The chemistry generates intermolecular PKR-type products in an absolute regio- and stereochemical control which is hardly achievable through real intermolecular Pauson-Khand reactions. A mechanism for this Pauson-Khand reaction has been proposed based on deuterium labelling experiments. (Figure presented.).

Selectivity between 1,2 and 1,4 addition of a nucleophile to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound has classically been modified by the addition of stoichiometric additives to the substrate or reagent to increase their “hard” or “soft” character. Here, we demonstrate a conceptually distinct approach that instead relies on controlling the coordination sphere of a catalyst with visible light. In this way, we bias the reaction down two divergent pathways, giving contrasting products in the catalytic hydroboration of α,β-unsaturated ketones. This includes direct access to previously elusive cyclic enolborates, via 1,4-selective hydroboration, providing a straightforward and stereoselective route to rare syn-aldol products in one-pot. DFT calculations and mechanistic experiments confirm two different mechanisms are operative, underpinning this unusual photocontrolled selectivity switch.

The chemoselective reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones by use of an economic and readily available Mg catalyst has been developed. Excellent yields for a wide range of ketones have been achieved under mild reaction conditions, short times, and low catalyst loadings (0.2-0.5 mol %).
