A general Pd-catalyzed α- and γ-benzylation of aldehydes for the formation of quaternary centers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A palladium-catalyzed benzylation of α-branched aldehydes has been developed using benzyl methyl carbonates. The method gives access to congested quaternary centers in the vicinity of one of the most sensitive carbonyl functionalities and displays unprecedented generality with respect to both coupling partners. Evidence for the direct involvement of a Pd-η(3)-benzyl intermediate is provided. Extension of this strategy to the γ-benzylation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes is further demonstrated.

Rh-catalyzed desymmetrization of α-quaternary centers by isomerization-hydroacylation
We describe a Rh-catalyzed desymmetrization of all-carbon quaternary centers from a,a-bis(allyl) aldehydes by a cascade featuring isomerization and hydroacylation. This desymmetrization competes with two other novel olefin functionalizations that are triggered by C–H bond activation, including carboacylation and bisacylation. A BIPHEP ligand promotes enantioselective formation of avinylcyclopen...

We report herein the efficiency of quaternary ammonium salts as co-catalysts in organocatalytic Michael reactions involving iminium activation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The enantioselective formal benzylation of these substrates has been optimized and used to rationalize the role of the ammonium salts in these processes.

The first highly efficient Michael addition of challenging α,α-disubstituted aldehydes to maleimides catalyzed by a simple bifunctional primary amine thiourea catalyst/benzoic acid system has been successfully developed to generate quaternary carbon centers in high yields (up to 99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (91-99%).

We developed a new method for stereoselective construction of an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center on a carbocyclic ring based on regio- and stereoselective S(N)2' alkylation reactions of γ,δ-epoxy-α,β-unsaturated cyclic ketones. Treatment of the ketones, which were readily prepared in enantiomerically pure form by means of aldol condensations between 3-ethoxy-2-cycloalkenones and α,β-ep...
