High‐Value Alcohols and Higher‐Oxidation‐State Compounds by Catalytic Z‐Selective Cross‐Metathesis.
TL;DR: In this article, an electronically modified ruthenium-disulfide catalyst that is effective in cross-metathesis is presented, which can be used for cross-merging.
Catalytic Enantioselective Olefin Metathesis in Natural Product Synthesis. Chiral Metal-Based Complexes that Deliver High Enantioselectivity and More
TL;DR: A chiral olefin metathesis catalyst, in addition to furnishing products of high enantiomeric purity, can offer levels of efficiency, product selectivity and/or oleFin stereoselectivity that are unavailable through the achiral variants.
Versatile Homoallylic Boronates by Chemo‑, S N 2′‑, Diastereo‑ and Enantioselective Catalytic Sequence of Cu−H Addition to Vinyl‑B(pin)/Allylic Substitution
TL;DR: A highly chemo-, diastereo- and enantioselective catalytic method that efficiently combines a silyl hydride, vinyl-B(pin) (pin=pinacolato) and (E)-1,2-disubstituted allylic phosphates is introduced.
Catalytic enantioselective 1,6-conjugate additions of propargyl and allyl groups
TL;DR: It is shown that an easily accessible organocopper catalyst can promote 1,6-conjugate additions of propargyl and 2-boryl-substituted allyl groups to acyclic dienoates with high selectivity and is highlighted by an application towards enantioselective synthesis of the anti-HIV agent (−)-equisetin.
Catalytic Enantioselective Alkylations of Tetrasubstituted Olefins. Synthesis of All-Carbon Quaternary Stereogenic Centers through Cu-Catalyzed Asymmetric Conjugate Additions of Alkylzinc Reagents to Enones
Alexander Hird,Amir H. Hoveyda +1 more
TL;DR: A method for Cu-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of dialkylzinc reagents to tetrasubstituted five- and six-membered cyclic enones that afford quaternary all-carbon stereogenic centers in up to 95% ee is reported.
