Palladium-Catalyzed Three-Component Selective Aminoallylation of Diazo Compounds

Pengcheng Ou et al.

Summary: In this study, a Xantphos-containing dinuclear palladium complex was used to catalyze the geminal aminoallylation of diazocarbonyl compounds, providing a selective synthesis of various quaternary alpha-amino esters. The reaction did not proceed through direct N-H insertion, allylic alkylation of amino nucleophiles, or diene formation. Mechanistic investigations indicated that a relayed pathway via allylation or a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement was unlikely.

Efficient Synthesis of Diaryl Quaternary Centers by Rh(II)/Xantphos Catalyzed Relay C-H Functionalization and Allylic Alkylation

Zhaoliang Ge et al.

Summary: A three-component reaction of N, N-disubstituted aniline, alpha-diazo ester, and an allylic electrophile has been achieved through [Rh(II)](2)/Xantphos catalysis, providing a direct access to diverse aniline derivatives with diaryl allylic quaternary centers in good yields. The synthetic utility of this method has been demonstrated by facile derivatization of the products, enabling the preparation of biologically relevant molecules and structural scaffolds, thereby offering a high potential for increasing molecular diversity. Mechanistic studies revealed the presence of a C(sp(2))-H functionalization of aniline derivatives/allylic alkylation cascade, with alpha, alpha-diarylacetate species identified as an active intermediate in this attractive catalytic transformation.

Paddlewheel dirhodium(II) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene or phosphine ligand: New reactivity and selectivity

Biqiong Hong et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the strategies for introducing various bridging ligands such as carboxylic acids, amide, and phosphoric acids in dirhodium(II)-catalyzed organic reactions, which significantly enhance the activity and selectivity of the metal complexes involved. The newly explored reactivity of dirhodium(II) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbenes or phosphines as axial ligands is discussed, as well as the asymmetric tries where the stereo-induction solely comes from the axial ligand. The reactions catalyzed by inherent chiral ortho-metalated dirhodium(II)/phosphine complexes are also examined.

Recent Advances in Metal-Catalyzed Functionalization of Indoles

Kelvin Urbina et al.

Summary: Indole is an important heterocycle in organic synthesis, natural products, and drug discovery, and recent research on the selective functionalization of indole has made significant advances, driven mainly by transition metal catalysis and metal-free methods. Future trends include transition-metal-catalyzed functionalization at different positions and transition-metal-free functionalization.

Au-Catalyzed Formal Allylation of Diazo(thio)oxindoles: Application to Tandem Asymmetric Synthesis of Quaternary Stereocenters

Xiao-Yuan Cui et al.

Summary: The study presents an efficient Au(I)-catalyzed formal allylation of diazo(thio)oxindoles, producing 3-allyl (thio)oxindoles which are challenging to access using traditional methods. This method allows for the stereoselective synthesis of quaternary (thio)oxindoles through a formal allylation-asymmetric Michael addition sequence, yielding versatile synthons for spirocyclic (thio)oxindoles. Initial biological investigations suggest that chiral thiooxindoles exhibit promising antiproliferation activity surpassing that of corresponding oxindoles.
