Gold(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes proved to be a reliable catalytic system for the direct synthesis of functionalized γ-vinylbutyrolactones by intramolecular oxaallylic alkylation with primary alcohols. Good isolated chemical yields were obtained for a range of malonyl and acetate derivatives. The good performance in reagent-grade solvents and the functional group/moisture tolerance make this catalytic process a promising route for the synthesis of architecturally complex polycyclic structures.

<p>Site-selective functionalizations of C–H bonds will ultimately afford chemists transformative tools for editing and constructing complex molecular architectures<sup>1-4</sup>. Towards this goal, developing strategies to activate C–H bonds that are distal from a functional group is essential<sup>4-6</sup>. In this context, distinguishing remote C–H bonds on adjacent carbon atoms is an extraordinary challenge due to the lack of electronic or steric bias between the two positions. Herein, we report the design of a catalytic system leveraging a remote directing template and a transient norbornene mediator to selectively activate a previously inaccessible remote C–H bond that is one bond further away. The generality of this approach has been demonstrated with a range of heterocycles, including a complex anti-leukemia agent, and hydrocinnamic acid substrates.</p>

A new method to access alpha-arylated benzamides has been enabled by metallaphotoredox catalysis. This system allows for non-directed C–H functionalization of N-alkyl benzamides using a dual nickel/iridium catalytic system to form tertiary stereocenters in good enantiomeric excess and moderate yields. This reaction shows excellent functional group compatibility and can be performed using a number of sterically and electronically different aryl bromides and secondary benzamides.

Solid supports functionalized with molecular metal catalysts combine many of the advantages of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis. A (NNN)Ru-incorporated porous organic polymer (POP-bp/bbpRuCl3) exhibited high catalytic efficiency and broad functional group tolerance in the C–C cross-coupling of secondary and primary alcohols to give β-alkylated secondary alcohols. This catalyst demonstrated excellent durability during successive recycling without leaching of Ru which is ascribed to the strong binding of the pincer ligands to the metal ions.

AbstractAmong the plethora of catalytic methods developed for hydrocarbofunctionalization of olefins to date, reactions that regioselectively install a functionalized alkyl unit at the 2-position of a terminal unactivated C=C bond to afford branched products are scarce. Here, we show that a Ni-based catalyst in conjunction with a stoichiometric reducing agent promote Markovnikov-selective hydroalkylation of unactivated alkenes tethered to a recyclable 8-aminoquinaldine directing auxiliary. These mild reductive processes employ readily available primary and secondary haloalkanes as both the hydride and alkyl donor. Reactions of alkenyl amides with ≥ five-carbon chain length regioselectively afforded β-alkylated products through remote hydroalkylation, underscoring the fidelity of the catalytic process and the directing group’s capability in stabilizing five-membered nickelacycle intermediates. The operationally simple protocol exhibits exceptional functional group tolerance and is amenable to the synthesis of bioactive molecules as well as regioconvergent transformations.

AbstractOxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids is a fundamental transformation in organic chemistry, yet despite its simplicity, extensive use, and relationship to pH, it remains a subject of active research for synthetic organic chemists. Since 2013, a great number of new methods have emerged that utilize transition-metal compounds as catalysts for acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols to carboxylates. The interest in this reaction is explained by its atom economy, which is in accord with the principles of sustainability and green chemistry. Therefore, the methods for the direct synthesis of carboxylic acids from alcohols is ripe for a modern survey, which we provide in this review.1 Introduction2 Thermodynamics of Primary Alcohol Oxidation3 Oxometalate Oxidation4 Transfer Dehydrogenation5 Acceptorless Dehydrogenation6 Electrochemical Methods7 Outlook
