A linear synthesis of o-terphenyl derivatives has been delineated using ring closing metathesis (RCM) as the key step. In this approach, benzil derivatives upon allyl Grignard addition provides diphenyl-1,2-diallyl dihydroxy derivatives which undergo ring closing metathesis to afford tetrahydro terphenyl derivatives. Aromatization-driven dehydration then leads to a diverse set of electron rich and electron deficient o-terphenyls. Furthermore, oxidative coupling of electron rich o-terphenyls provides the corresponding triphenylene derivatives.
Base-Free Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of 1,2-Di- and Monoketones Catalyzed by a (NH)2P2-Macrocyclic Iron(II) Hydride

The hydride isonitrile complex [FeH(CNCEt3)(1 a)]BF4 (2) containing a chiral P2(NH)2 macrocycle (1 a), in the presence of 2-propanol as hydrogen donor, catalyzes the base-free asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of prostereogenic ketones to alcohols and the hemihydrogenation of benzils to benzoins, which contain a base-labile stereocenter. Benzoins are formed in up to 83 % isolated yield with enantioselectivity reaching 95 % ee. Ketones give the same enantioselectivity observed with the parent catalytic system [Fe(CNCEt3)2(1 a)] (3 a) that operates with added NaOtBu.
Chiral Frustrated Lewis Pairs Catalyzed Highly Enantioselective Hydrosilylations of 1,2-Dicarbonyl Compounds
Ren, Xiaoyu,Du, Haifeng
, p. 810 - 813 (2016/02/09)
A highly enantioselective hydrosilylation of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds was successfully realized for the first time utilizing the combination of tricyclohexylphosphine and chiral alkenylborane derived in situ from diyne as a frustrated Lewis pair catalyst. A variety of optically active α-hydroxy ketones and esters were obtained in 52-98% yields with 86-99% ee's.
