The redox-neutral dicarbofunctionalization of tri- and tetrasubstituted olefins to form a variety of (hetero)cyclic compounds under photoinduced palladium catalysis is described. This cascade reaction process was used to couple styrenes or acryl amides with a broad range of highly decorated olefins tethered to aryl or alkyl bromides (>50 examples). This procedure enables one or two contiguous all-carbon quaternary centers to be formed in a single step. The products could be readily diversified and applied in the synthesis of a bioactive oxindole analogue.

A simple yet highly effective approach toward enantioselective synthesis of trans-3,4-disubstituted glutarimides from readily available starting materials is developed using oxidative N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis. The catalytic reaction involves a formal [3 + 3] annulation between enals and substituted malonamides enabling the production of glutarimide derivatives in a single chemical operation via concomitant formation of C-C and C-N bonds. The reaction offers easy access to a broad range of functionalized glutarimides with excellent enantioselectivity and good yield. Synthetic application of the method is demonstrated via formal synthesis of (?)-paroxetine and other bioactive molecules.
Regioselective Simmons-Smith-type cyclopropanations of polyalkenes enabled by transition metal catalysis
Werth, Jacob,Uyeda, Christopher

A [i-PrPDI]CoBr2 complex (PDI = pyridine-diimine) catalyzes Simmons-Smith-type reductive cyclopropanation reactions using CH2Br2 in combination with Zn. In contrast to its non-catalytic variant, the cobalt-catalyzed cyclopropanation is capable of discriminating between alkenes of similar electronic properties based on their substitution patterns: monosubstituted > 1,1-disubstituted > (Z)-1,2-disubstituted > (E)-1,2-disubstituted > trisubstituted. This property enables synthetically useful yields to be achieved for the monocyclopropanation of polyalkene substrates, including terpene derivatives and conjugated 1,3-dienes. Mechanistic studies implicate a carbenoid species containing both Co and Zn as the catalytically relevant methylene transfer agent.
