We demonstrate for the first time a nickel-catalyzed diastereoconvergent reductive coupling of a heteroatom-attached allyl moiety with aldehydes, viz., O<\/em>-allyl, O<\/em>-cinnamyl salicylaldehydes, and others, to afford syn<\/em>-chromanols exclusively. The reaction proceeds through a [2 + 2 + 1] oxidative cycloaddition involving the active catalyst. This method is applicable to both terminal and internal olefin substrates. The formal syntheses of CP-199.330, CP-199.331, and CP-85.958 have been demonstrated. Control experiments, mass spectrometric analysis, and DFT studies supported the plausible mechanism and the origin of exclusive syn<\/em>-selectivity.<\/p>")"> Abstract

We describe a transition metal-free approach to hindered 3-amino-2-aryl phenols through a cascade nucleophilic addition \/ Smiles–Truce rearrangement of a functionalized Kobayashi aryne precursor. Under anionic conditions, secondary alkyl amines add to the aryne intermediate to set up an aryl transfer from a neighboring sulfonate group. The use of a sulfonate, rather than the more typical sulfonamide, enables access to phenolic biaryl products that are important motifs in natural products and pharmaceuticals.<\/p>")"> Abstract

We report the synthesis of bis-benzofulvenes and the studies on their optical and redox properties. Bis-benzofulvenes were achieved through the Pd-catalyzed intramolecular Heck coupling followed by Ni0-mediated C(sp2)–Br dimerization. Low optical and electrochemical energy gaps of 2.05 and 1.68 eV were achieved by tuning the substituent on the exomethylene unit and the aromatic ring. The observed trends in the energy gaps were compared, and the frontier molecular orbitals were visualized using the density functional theory.<\/p>")"> Abstract

We report an operationally simple route to δ-valerolactones through an organophosphorus-catalyzed borylative ring-opening\/allylation of vinylcyclopropanes providing δ-hydroxy esters stereoselectively. The δ-hydroxy esters were lactonized to obtain densely substituted δ-valerolactones. The present methodology exhibited enhanced functional group tolerance compared to the existing metal-mediated methods. A plausible mechanism for borylative ring-opening reaction has been suggested. 31P NMR studies indicated the involvement of a phosphonium zwitterionic species. The synthetic utility of the intermediate allyl boronates was demonstrated.<\/p>")"> Abstract

An enantiospecific coupling between alkylboronic esters and lithiated aryl hydrazines is described. The reaction proceeds under transition-metal-free conditions and is promoted by acylation of a hydrazinyl arylboronate complex, which triggers a N−N bond cleavage with concomitant 1,2- metalate rearrangement. Judicious choice of the acylating agent enabled the synthesis of ortho- and para-substituted anilines with essentially complete enantiospecificity from a wide range of boronic ester substrates.<\/p>")"> Abstract
