Catalytic, enantioselective 1,2-difluorination of cinnamamides
Haj, Moriana K.,Banik, Steven M.,Jacobsen, Eric N.
, p. 4919 - 4923 (2019)
The enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of 1,2-difluorides via chiral aryl iodide-catalyzed difluorination of cinnamamides is reported. The method uses HF-pyridine as a fluoride source and mCPBA as a stoichiometric oxidant to turn over catalyst, and
Copper-Photocatalyzed Contra-Thermodynamic Isomerization of Polarized Alkenes
Bouillon, Jean-Philippe,Brégent, Thibaud,Poisson, Thomas
supporting information, p. 7688 - 7693 (2020/10/09)
The contra-thermodynamic isomerization of α- and β-substituted cinnamate derivatives catalyzed by the Cu(OAc)2/rac-BINAP complex under blue light irradiation is reported. The use of an oxazolidinone template, which favored the complexation of the copper catalyst to the substrate, allowed the E → Z isomerization of the catalytically formed chromophore under simple and robust reaction conditions in good to excellent ratios. The mechanism of this process based on the transient formation of a chromophore was also studied.
Microwave-assisted synthesis of the (E)-α-methylalkenoate framework from multifunctionalized allylic phosphonium salts
Meier, Lidiane,Ferreira, Misael,Sa, Marcus M.
, p. 179 - 186 (2012/07/14)
A convenient and general microwave-assisted method for the synthesis of stereochemically defined α-methylalkenoic acids and esters from allylic phosphonium salts in a basic aqueous medium is described. A selective preparation of acids or esters was dependent on the base (NaOH or NaHCO 3) employed in the reaction and could be achieved with good to excellent yields under mild conditions in the absence of hydrides and reducing agents.
