Development and Mechanistic Investigations of Enantioselective Pd-Catalyzed Intermolecular Hydroaminations of Internal Dienes
Park, Sangjune,Malcolmson, Steven J.
, p. 8468 - 8476 (2018)
We report the development of highly enantio- and regioselective Pd-catalyzed intermolecular hydroaminations of challenging 1,4-disubstituted acyclic dienes. Several aryl/alkyl-disubstituted dienes and a sterically differentiated alkyl/alkyl-disubstituted diene undergo coupling with a variety of secondary aliphatic amines, indoline, and primary anilines to generate allylic amines with myriad α-alkyl groups in up to 78% yield, >98:2 rr, and 98.5:1.5 er. A number of experiments, including deuterium labeling and transamination studies, shed light on mechanistic details of the reaction, such as the reversibility of individual steps of the proposed catalytic cycle and of the reaction as a whole.
Investigation of bicyclic thioketones as triggers for liquid crystal optical switches
Bradford, Rochelle Fisher,Schuster, Gary B.
, p. 1075 - 1080 (2003)
The axially chiral bicyclic thioketones 11 and 15 were prepared and investigated for suitability as chiroptical triggers in a liquid crystal optical switch. Irradiation of partially resolved 15 with unpolarized light leads to its conversion to the racemic form (photoracemization). However, irradiation of racemic thioketones 11 and 15 with circularly polarized light does not lead to detectable photoresolution. The lack of photoresolution was traced to inefficiency in intramolecular, throughbond triplet energy transfer. These thioketones are not suitable for use as phototriggers.

An efficient nickel-catalyzed regioselective hydroarylation of 1,3-dienes with aryl halides and a silane has been developed, affording a range of allylic arenes in good to excellent yields under mild conditions. This method exhibits broad substrate scope,

The catalytic isomerization of C-C double bonds is an indispensable chemical transformation used to deliver higher-value analogues and has important utility in the chemical industry. Notwithstanding the advances reported in this field, there is compelling demand for a general catalytic solution that enables precise control of the C═C bond migration position, in both cyclic and acyclic systems, to furnish disubstituted and trisubstituted alkenes. Here, we show that catalytic amounts of an appropriate earth-abundant iron-based complex, a base and a boryl compound, promote efficient and controllable alkene transposition. Mechanistic investigations reveal that these processes likely involve in situ formation of an iron-hydride species which promotes olefin isomerization through sequential olefin insertion/β-hydride elimination. Through this strategy, regiodivergent access to different products from one substrate can be facilitated, isomeric olefin mixtures commonly found in petroleum-derived feedstock can be transformed to a single alkene product, and unsaturated moieties embedded within linear and heterocyclic biologically active entities can be obtained.
Mild Isomerization of Conjugated Dienes Using Co-Mediated Hydrogen Atom Transfer
Delgado, Kyle R.,Youmans, Dustin D.,Diver, Steven T.

A mild and high yielding rearrangement of 1,3-disubstituted-1,3-dienes to 1,1,4-trisubstituted-1,3-dienes using a cobaloxime catalyst and a silane cocatalyst is reported. Chiral centers near the conjugated diene were not racemized. Deuterium labeling studies are consistent with a hydrogen atom transfer mechanism, and radical intermediates were found to be accessible due to the observed ring opening of a cyclopropane ring.
