Catalytic Asymmetric Cyclopropanations with Nonstabilized Carbenes

Kristen E. Berger et al.

Summary: Gem-dichloroalkanes can be used as precursors for asymmetric cyclopropanation reactions of alkenes. The process involves a cobalt catalyst and shows high levels of enantioselectivity for monosubstituted, 1,1-disubstituted, and internal alkenes. The reaction is compatible with alkyl-substituted carbenes.

Catalytic Enantioconvergent Allenylation of Aldehydes with Propargyl Halides

Feng-Hua Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, a Cr-catalyzed enantioconvergent allenylation method was described to rapidly obtain chiral alpha-allenols with adjacent axial and central chiralities by reacting with racemic propargyl halides. This method exhibited excellent selectivity control and broad substrate scope, and facilitated access to all four stereoisomers when combined with other reactions.

Metalloradical Activation of In Situ-Generated α-Alkynyldiazomethanes for Asymmetric Radical Cyclopropanation of Alkenes

Jing Ke et al.

Summary: In this study, it was discovered that alpha-alkynyldiazomethanes generated in situ from the corresponding sulfonyl hydrazones in the presence of a base can be used as effective metalloradicophiles in Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis for asymmetric cyclopropanation reactions. By using a specific chiral ligand, the Co(II)-based metalloradical system can activate different alpha-alkynyldiazomethanes at room temperature, resulting in highly asymmetric cyclopropanation of a wide range of alkenes with high yields and enantioselectivity. Computational and experimental studies provided evidence for the stepwise radical mechanism involved in the Co(II)-catalyzed olefin cyclopropanation reaction, which is associated with a unique alpha-metalloradical intermediate. The resulting enantioenriched alkynyl cyclopropanes can serve as valuable chiral building blocks for stereoselective organic synthesis.

From Serendipity to Rational Design: Heteroleptic Dirhodium Amidate Complexes for Diastereodivergent Asymmetric Cyclopropanation

Fabio Pasquale Calo et al.

Summary: A heteroleptic dirhodium paddlewheel complex has been found to be effective in catalyzing the asymmetric cyclopropanation of olefins with alpha-stannylated alpha-diazoacetate derivatives. The interligand hydrogen bond plays a crucial role in the reaction mechanism. The catalyst design has been revised to improve its diastereocontrol capabilities. The method also allows for the formation of stereogenic quaternary carbon centers and is flexible in synthesizing unique bacterial metabolites.

Photoinduced gold-catalyzed divergent dechloroalkylation of gem-dichloroalkanes

Cheng-Long Ji et al.

Summary: The use of gem-dichloroalkanes as substrates, in the presence of dinuclear gold catalyst, allows the controllable dechloroalkylation of alkenes, leading to the formation of C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) bonds or cyclization of alkenes. The incorporation of deuterium moieties into organic scaffolds can be easily achieved using commercially available deuterium-labelled polychloromethanes.

Cr-Catalyzed Diastereo- and Enantioselective Synthesis of β-Hydroxy Sulfides and Selenides

Xiaowen Xia et al.

Summary: The Cr-catalyzed Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction is an important strategy for C-C bond construction in organic synthesis. However, known Cr-catalyzed asymmetric transformations are limited to primary Cr intermediates. In this study, a Cr-catalyzed three-component reaction was developed to efficiently synthesize chiral compounds with vicinal stereocenters.

Yair Cohen et al.

Summary: Recent advancements in the stereoselective synthesis of polysubstituted cyclopropanes have enabled chemists to access these strained rings with high diastereomeric and enantiomeric ratios. This development has led to a paradigm shift in the synthesis of stereodefined acyclic molecules through selective carbon-carbon bond cleavage. Application of these concepts has been demonstrated in the total syntheses of various natural products and important molecules, highlighting the power of these strategies in organic synthesis.
