Recently, phosphorus redox cycling has gained significant importance for a number of transformations originally requiring the use of stoichiometric amounts of phosphorus reagents. While these methodologies have several benefits, high catalyst loadings (≥10 mol percent) and harsh reaction conditions (T ≥ 100 °C) often limit their versatility and applicability. Herein, we report differently substituted phosphetane oxides as efficient catalysts for the catalytic Wittig reaction. The phosphetane scaffold is easy to modify, and a number of catalysts can be obtained in a simple two-step synthesis. The activity in the Wittig reaction significantly surpasses previously reported phospholane-based catalysts and the reaction can be conducted with catalyst loadings as low as 1.0 mol percent even at room temperature. Furthermore, a Br?nsted acid additive is no longer required to achieve high yields at these mild conditions. A methyl-substituted phosphetane oxide was employed to synthesize 25 different alkenes with yields of up to 97percent. The methodology has a good functional group tolerance and the reaction can be performed starting with alkyl chlorides, bromides, or iodides. Additionally, it was possible to use poly(methylhydrosiloxane) as the terminal reductant in the catalytic Wittig reaction employing 2-MeTHF as a renewable solvent. The intermediates of the Wittig reaction were analyzed by 31P NMR spectroscopy, and in situ NMR experiments confirmed phosphane oxide as the resting state of the catalyst. Further kinetic investigations revealed a striking influence of the base on the rate of phosphane oxide reduction.

A highly stereoselective reaction of α,α-difluoro-γ,γ-disubstituted butenals 2 bearing two different substituents at the γ position has been developed with an organocatalytic system of l-proline (30 mol %) and salicylic acid (60 mol %). This novel reactio

A study of the advantages of using manganese, an inexpensive and nontoxic metal, to perform stereoselective β-elimination reactions and to promote sequential olefination reactions of aldehydes to obtain α,β- unsaturated esters and amides is presented. Various elimination reactions, all of them characterized by occurring with complete stereoselectivity and in high yields, were performed using active manganese (Mn*) as metalating agent. This ability of manganese has been applied to develop a novel and direct synthesis of (E)-α,β-unsaturated esters or amides and (Z)-α,β-unsaturated α-halo esters and α-choroamides through a Mn*-mediated sequential olefination protocol of aldehydes with dichloro esters or amides and trihalo esters or trichloroamides, respectively.
