The preparation of novel MeOBIPHEP atropisomeric chiral congener ligands via an efficient palladium-catalyzed P–C coupling key step is described. We demonstrate that these palladium-catalyzed conditions are compatible with the brominated MeOBIPHEP backbone. The reaction conditions for asymmetric silver-catalyzed cycloisomerization of γ-allenols were optimized, leading to the first enantioselective catalytic system employing atropisomeric diphosphine ligands as the chiral inducer. The process follows a major 5-exo cyclization via addition of the alcohol moiety to the π-activated allenyl intermediate, leading to vinyltetrahydrofurans with enantiomeric ratios up to 91.5:8.5.

AbstractCatalytic anti-Markovnikov (AM) oxidation of terminal alkenes can provide terminally oxyfunctionalized organic compounds. This short review mainly summarizes our recent progress on the Pd-catalyzed AM oxidations of aromatic and aliphatic terminal alkenes to give terminal acetals (oxidative acetalization) and aldehydes (Wacker-type oxidation), along with related reports. These reactions demonstrate the efficacy of the PdCl2(MeCN)2/CuCl/electron-deficient cyclic alkenes/O2 catalytic system. Notably, electron-deficient cyclic alkenes such as p-benzoquinones (BQs) and maleimides are key additives that facilitate nucleophilic attack of oxygen nucleophiles on coordinated terminal alkenes and enhance the AM selectivity. BQs also function to oxidize Pd(0) depending on the reaction conditions. Several other factors that improve the AM selectivity, such as the steric demand of the nucleo­philes, slow substrate addition, and halogen-directing groups, are also discussed.1 Introduction2 Anti-Markovnikov Oxidation of Aromatic Alkenes to Terminal Acetals­3 Anti-Markovnikov Oxidation of Aromatic Alkenes to Aldehydes4 Anti-Markovnikov Oxidation of Aliphatic Alkenes to Terminal Acetals­5 Anti-Markovnikov Oxidation of Aliphatic Alkenes to Aldehydes6 Conclusion

Allylic alcohols and allylic amines were directly utilized in a Pd-catalyzed hydrogen-bond-activated allylic amination under mild reaction conditions in the absence of any additives. The catalytic system is compatible with a variety of functional groups and can be used to prepare a wide range of linear allylic amines in good to excellent yields.

Bioorthogonal chemistry is a mainstay of chemoproteomic sample preparation workflows. While numerous transformations are now available, chemoproteomic studies still rely overwhelmingly on copper-catalyzed azide –alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or 'click' chemistry. Here we demonstrate that gel-based activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) and mass-spectrometry-based chemoproteomic profiling can be conducted using Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling. We identify reaction conditions that proceed in complex cell lysates and find that Suzuki –Miyaura cross-coupling and CuAAC yield comparable chemoproteomic coverage. Importantly, Suzuki–Miyaura is also compatible with chemoproteomic target deconvolution, as demonstrated using structurally matched probes tailored to react with the cysteine protease caspase-8. Uniquely enabled by the observed orthogonality of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling and CuAAC, we combine both reactions to achieve dual protein labeling.

The catalytic activity and high selectivity reported by bimetallic heteroscorpionate acetate zinc complexes in ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) reactions involving CO2 as substrate encouraged us to expand their use as catalysts for ROCOP of cyclohexene oxide (CHO) and cyclic anhydrides. Among the catalysts tested for the ROCOP of CHO and phthalic anhydride at different reaction conditions, the most active catalytic system was the combination of complex 3 with bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium as cocatalyst in toluene at 80 °C. Once the optimal catalytic system was determined, the scope in terms of other cyclic anhydrides was broadened. The catalytic system was capable of copolymerizing selectively and efficiently CHO with phthalic, maleic, succinic and naphthalic anhydrides to afford the corresponding polyester materials. The polyesters obtained were characterized by spectroscopic, spectrometric, and calorimetric techniques. Finally, the reaction mechanism of the catalytic system was proposed based on stoichiometric reactions.

A regiospecific palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction using the operational equivalent of the dianion 1,3-dilithiopropyne, with aromatic iodides is reported. This reaction gives high yields of 1-propyn-1-yl-benzenes and 2-(propyn-1-yl)thiophenes in the presence of catalytic amounts of palladium(0) or (II) and stoichiometric amounts of copper iodide. No terminal alkyne or allene isomers were detected. Reaction conditions were very mild and several functional groups were tolerated.

A rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective addition of glyoxylates to arylboronic acids promoted by a simple chiral sulfinamide-based olefin ligand under mild reaction conditions is described. The reaction provides access to a variety of optically active substituted mandelic acid esters in good yields with up to 83% ee. The catalytic system is also applicable to pyruvate addition. The synthetic utility of this method is highlighted by a formal synthesis of the antiplatelet drug clopidogrel.
