P-Chiral monodentate diamidophosphites as ligands for Rh-catalyzed asymmetric reactions
Lyubimov,Davankov,Petrovskii,Loim
, p. 2094 - 2096 (2007)
A series of P-chiral monodentate diamidophosphite ligands of the 1,3-diaza-2-phosphabicyclo[3.3.0]octane family was tested in the Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate and addition of phenylboronic acid at the carbonyl group of trans-cinnamaldehyde. The enantioselectivities and conversions of these reactions are strongly dependent on the nature of the exo-cyclic substituent of the ligand.

One-pot synthesis of α-methyl ketones starting from 1,3-diaryl propenols or 1-aryl propenols and methanol as a C1 source is demonstrated. This one-pot isomerization-methylation is catalyzed by commercially available Pd(OAc)2 with H2O as the only by-product. Mechanistic studies and deuterium labelling experiments indicate the involvement of isomerization of allyl alcohol followed by methylation through a hydrogen-borrowing pathway in these isomerization-methylation reactions.
Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated ketones; factors influencing 1,4- vs 1,2- regio- and enantioselectivity, and alkene vs alkyne directing effects

A detailed study has been completed on the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of a series of enones using Ru(II) catalysts. Electron-rich rings adjacent to the C[dbnd]O group reduce the level of C[dbnd]O reduction compared to C[dbnd]C. The ATH reaction can readily discriminate between double and triple bonds adjacent to ketones, reducing the double bond but leaving a triple bond intact in the major product.
Potassium Base-Catalyzed Michael Additions of Allylic Alcohols to α,β-Unsaturated Amides: Scope and Mechanistic Insights

We report herein the first KHMDS-catalyzed Michael additions of allylic alcohols to α,β-unsaturated amides through allylic isomerization. The reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of only 5 mol% of KHMDS to afford a variety of 1,5-ketoamides in high yields. Mechanistic investigations, including experimental and computational studies, reveal that the KHMDS-catalyzed in-situ generation of the enolate from the allylic alcohol through a tunneling-assisted 1,2-hydride shift is the key to the success of this transformation. (Figure presented.).
