Breslow Intermediates (Amino Enols) and Their Keto Tautomers: First Gas-Phase Characterization by IR Ion Spectroscopy

Mathias Paul et al.

Summary: The study reported in this paper focuses on the preparation of charge-tagged Breslow intermediates/keto tautomers derived from three different types of NHCs and aldehydes. Using ESI-MS IR ion spectroscopy, it was confirmed that in the gas phase, the Breslow intermediates derived from imidazolidin-2-ylidenes exist as diamino enols, while those derived from 1,2,4-triazolin-5-ylidenes and thiazolin-2-ylidenes exist as keto tautomers. This observation is consistent with findings in solution and in the crystalline state.

Critical Assessment of the Reducing Ability of Breslow-type Derivatives and Implications for Carbene-Catalyzed Radical Reactions**

Ludivine Delfau et al.

Summary: This study reported the synthesis of acyl azolium salts from various types of carbenes and the generation of their corresponding radicals and enolates, revealing the role of additives in the redox behavior of these compounds and correcting misconceptions about radical transformations of aldehyde derivatives. The reducing ability of enolates derived from certain carbenes was found to be underestimated, and catalytic intermediates were shown to transfer electrons efficiently at room temperature. Enol derivatives of certain carbenes were identified as powerful reducing agents.

Enantioselective Formation of Quaternary Centers by Allylic Alkylation with First-Row Transition-Metal Catalysts

Lars Susse et al.

Summary: Asymmetric allylic alkylation using transition metals offers an efficient strategy for generating quaternary stereocenters. Recent advancements have shown the potential of first-row transition metals as a cost-effective and potentially equally efficient alternative. This review highlights the use of different transition metals for catalyzing reactions with nucleophiles to assemble quaternary stereocenters.

Light-Driven N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysis Using Alkylborates

Yukiya Sato et al.

Summary: This research developed a new method for radical-radical coupling, utilizing light-driven NHC organocatalysis to achieve this reaction, and generating alkyl radicals through borates for single electron transfer. This protocol enables cross-coupling between alkylborates and acyl imidazoles, as well as radical relay-type alkylacylations of alkenes with alkylborates and acyl imidazoles.

Radical N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis for β-ketocarbonyl synthesis

Takuya Ishii et al.

Summary: The N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed radical cross-coupling between aldehydes and alpha-bromoesters or alpha-bromoamides allows for the synthesis of beta-ketocarbonyl compounds under mild reaction conditions. Both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes can serve as suitable acyl donors by using appropriate NHC catalyst precursors.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters by Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation: A Review

Gengxin Wu et al.

Summary: Quaternary stereocenters play a crucial role in the three-dimensionality and enhanced properties of new molecules, but face challenges in their synthesis. The asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) has emerged as a powerful method for constructing tetrasubstituted stereocenters, offering advantages such as mild reaction conditions, effective rates, new functional group introduction, and carbon chain extension. This review outlines key considerations and recent progress in using AAA reactions for enantioselective synthesis, aiming to stimulate advancements in various areas like organic synthesis, asymmetric catalysis, C-H activation, and pharmaceutical chemistry.
