The carbonyl–olefin metathesis reaction has become increasingly important in organic synthesis due to its versatility in functional group interconversion chemistry. Recent developments in the field have identified a number of transition-metal and organic Lewis acids as effective catalysts for this reaction. Herein, we report the use of simple organic compounds such as N-iodosuccinimide or iodine monochloride to catalyze the carbonyl–olefin metathesis process under mild reaction conditions. This work broadens the scope of this chemical transformation to include iodonium sources as simple and practical catalysts.

The chemistry of bidentate Lewis acids belongs to an unexplored field of science, and so far has been only poorly studied. This paper illustrates the design of several bidentate Al and Ti Lewis acids, and their successful application to selective organic synthesis, particularly to asymmetric synthesis. For example, a new, chiral bidentate Ti(IV) complex is successfully designed by adding commercially available Ti(OPri)4 and (S)-binaphthol sequentially to 2,2'-bis(tritylamino)-4,4'-dichlorobenzophenone in CH2Cl2, and can be utilized for simultaneous coordination to aldehyde carbonyls, thereby allowing the precise enantioface discrimination of such carbonyls for a new catalytic, practical enantioselective allylation of aldehydes with allyltributyltin. This chiral bidentate Ti(IV) catalyst exhibits uniformly high asymmetric induction as well as high chemical yields for various aldehydes. The present enantioselective allylation is highly chemoselective in the presence of other carbonyl moieties.

π-Ally tricarbonyliron lactone complexes are useful precursors for organic synthesis. These stable complexes are readily prepared from a variety of organic substrates and may be respectively converted to β- and δ-lactones by selective oxidation or exhaustive carbonylation. The natural products massoialactone, parasorbic acid, the carpenter bee pheromone and malyngolide were prepared by using the iron carbonyl methodology, along with precursors for the ionophore antibiotic CP 61405 and avermectin B1a synthesis. Several corresponding lactam complexes were obtained by treatm ent of the π-allytricarbonyliron lactones with amines in the presence of Lewis acids. These complexes were used in the formal total synthesis of the nocardicins and ( + )-thienamycin.
