Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed carbonylation reactions have emerged as a versatile and powerful strategy for the production of diverse value-added carbonyl-containing compounds. Nevertheless, the carbonylative synthesis of alkyl ketones, particularly those incorporating secondary or tertiary alkyl fragments, remains underexplored and poses significant challenges. Herein, we present a nickel-catalyzed carbonylative reductive cross-coupling reaction to synthesize a wide range of aryl-alkyl ketones from readily available alkyl halides, aryl iodides, and Mo(CO)6. This protocol exhibits excellent compatibility with primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl electrophiles as well as aryl electrophiles bearing electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups, offering a general access to aryl-alkyl ketones under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies reveal that Mo(CO)6 not only serves as a safe and effective CO surrogate, but also plays a crucial role in facilitating the nickel carbonyl species, which is critical for promoting the selective synthesis of aryl-alkyl ketones.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric tandem carbonylation-Heck reaction of cyclopentenes with carbon monoxide (CO) has been disclosed. This desymmetrization procedure afforded a series of bicyclo[3.2.1]octenes with one chiral quaternary and one tertiary carbon center in good yields with good enantioselectivities. This reaction proceeds via an acyl-palladium intermediate, followed by migratory insertion of the alkenes.

Abstract
We disclose herein an unprecedented Pd-catalyzed difluorocarbene transfer reaction, which assembles a series of structurally interesting chiral spiro ketones with generally over 90% ee. Commercially available BrCF2CO2K serves as the difluorocarbene precursor, which is harnessed as a user-friendly and safe carbonyl source in this transformation. Preliminary mechanistic studies exclude the formation of free CO in the reaction process, and importantly, we also find that BrCF2CO2K outcompete gaseous CO and several common CO surrogates in this asymmetric process. The reaction mechanism, including the in-situ progressive release of the difluorocarbene, the rapid migratory insertion of ArPd(II) = CF2 species, and subsequent defluorination hydrolysis by water to introduce the carbonyl group, accounts for the overall high efficiency and uniqueness. This work clearly showcases the advantage and potential of the difluorocarbene in synthesis and supplies a mechanistically distinct route for asymmetric carbonylative cyclization reactions.

Abstract
Atropisomeric biaryls bearing carbonyl groups have attracted increasing attention due to their prevalence in diverse bioactive molecules and crucial role as efficient organo-catalysts or ligands in asymmetric transformations. However, their preparation often involves tedious multiple steps, and the direct synthesis via asymmetric carbonylation has scarcely been investigated. Herein, we report an efficient palladium-catalyzed enantioconvergent aminocarbonylation of racemic heterobiaryl triflates with amines via dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DyKAT). This protocol features a broad substrate scope and excellent compatibility for rapid construction of axially chiral amides in good to high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. Detailed mechanistic investigations discover that the base can impede the intramolecular hydrogen bond-assisted axis rotation of the products, thus allowing for the success to achieve high enantioselectivity. Moreover, the achieved axially chiral heterobiaryl amides can be directly utilized as N,N,N-pincer ligands in copper-catalyzed enantioselective formation of C(sp3)-N and C(sp3)-P bonds.

Abstract
The current investigation presents an innovative palladium-catalyzed asymmetric carbonylative Heck esterification method. This approach facilitates the efficient synthesis of various chiral γ-ketoacid esters by utilizing o-alkenyliodobenzenes and arylboronic acids as primary substrates. This reaction achieves the creation of three carbon-carbon bonds, two carbon-oxygen bonds, and the establishment of a quaternary carbon center within a single step. The α-chiral γ-ketoacid esters were obtained in yields ranging from good to high yields, displaying enantiomeric excesses (ee's) levels up to 92% under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
This report describes the first example of palladium-catalyzed carbonylative difunctionalization of unactivated alkenes initiated by enolate nucleophiles. The approach involves initiation by an unstabilized enolate nucleophile under an atmospheric pressure of CO and termination with a carbon electrophile. This process is compatible with a diverse range of electrophiles, including aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl iodides to yield synthetically useful 1,5-diketone products, which were demonstrated to be precursors for multi-substituted pyridines. A PdI -dimer complex with two bridging CO units was observed although its role in catalysis is not yet understood.

Abstract
A novel strategy for the stereospecific Pd-catalyzed acylative cross-coupling of enantiomerically enriched alkylboron compounds has been developed. The protocol features an extremely high level of enantiospecificity to allow facile access to synthetically challenging and valuable chiral ketones and carboxylic acid derivatives. The use of a sterically encumbered and electron-rich phosphine ligand proved to be crucial for the success of the reaction. Furthermore, on the basis of experimental and computational studies, a unique mechanism for the transmetalation, assisted by the noncovalent interactions of the C(sp3)-based organoboron reagent, has been identified.

Abstract
We developed a visible-light-mediated [3 + 2] cycloaddition of arylcyclopropylamine with structurally diverse olefins using QXPT-NPh as a highly efficient organic photoredox catalyst. We first achieved the use of various alkyl-substituted alkenes in intermolecular [3 + 2] cycloadditions with cyclopropylamine. We also developed a general and efficient strategy for the construction of structurally diverse cyclopentane-based spiro[4.n] skeletons with 1,3-difunctional groups, which broadly exist in natural products and synthetic molecules. Furthermore, we proposed a hydrogen-bond mode between the arylcyclopropylamine and the photocatalyst QXPT-NPh.

Abstract
An example of asymmetric Steglich-type rearrangement of enol lactones is reported. This highly enantioselective acyl transfer reaction is catalyzed by chiral isothiourea at ambient temperature and provides a useful synthetic approach to access enantioenriched spirotricyclic β,β'-diketones from a broad range of indanone or tetralone-derived lactones. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest the initial formation of an N-acylated iminium cation intermediate that induces a following facial selective condensation.

Ru-Catalyzed Asymmetric Addition of Arylboronic Acids to Aliphatic Aldehydes via P-Chiral Monophosphorous Ligands. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27123898. [PMID: 35745017 PMCID: PMC9231018 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27123898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 06/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Chiral alcohols are among the most widely applied in fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Herein, the Ru-monophosphine catalyst formed in situ was found to promote an enantioselective addition of aliphatic aldehydes with arylboronic acids, delivering the chiral alcohols in excellent yields and enantioselectivities and exhibiting a broad scope of aliphatic aldehydes and arylboronic acids. The enantioselectivities are highly dependent on the monophosphorous ligands. The utility of this asymmetric synthetic method was showcased by a large-scale transformation.

Abstract
AbstractCarbonylation, one of the most powerful approaches to the preparation of carbonylated compounds, has received significant attention from researchers active in various fields. Indeed, impressive progress has been made on this subject over the past few decades. Among the various types of carbonylation reactions, asymmetric carbonylation is a straightforward methodology for constructing chiral compounds. Although rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydroformylations have been discussed in several elegant reviews, a general review on palladium-catalyzed asymmetric carbonylations is still missing. In this review, we summarize and discuss recent achievements in palladium-catalyzed asymmetric carbonylation reactions. Notably, this review’s contents are categorized by reaction type.

Abstract
Palladium-catalysed diastereoselective hydroesterification of alkenes assisted by the coordinative hydroxyl group in the substrate afforded a variety of chiral γ-butyrolactones bearing two stereocenters. Employing the carbonylation-lactonization products as the key intermediates, the route from the alkenes with single chiral center to chiral THF-fused bicyclic γ-lactones containing three stereocenters was developed.

Abstract
An SPA-triazolium bromide-catalyzed transannular C-acylation of enol lactones is presented. This methodology provides convenient access to a range of enantioenriched spirocyclic 1,3-diketones in moderate to high yields and enantioselectivities and features a broad substrate scope in terms of enol lactones. The catalytic capability of this triazolium salt catalyst is also demonstrated in this enantioselective transformation, which could inspire its further application.

Abstract
Apart from being one of the most important intermediates in chemical synthesis, broadly used in the formation of C-C bonds among other processes, the β-dicarbonyl structure is present in a huge number of biologically and pharmaceutically active compounds. In fact, mainly derived from the well-known antioxidant capability associated with the corresponding enol tautomer, β-diketones are valuable compounds in the treatment of many pathological disorders, such as cardiovascular and liver diseases, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, neurological disorders, inflammation, skin diseases, fibrosis, or arthritis; therefore, the synthesis of these structures is an area of overwhelming interest for organic chemists. This paper is devoted to the advances achieved in the last ten years for the preparation of 1,3-diketones, using different chemical (Claisen, hydration of alkynones, decarboxylative coupling) or catalytic (biocatalysis, organocatalytic, metal-based catalysis) methodologies: Additionally, the preparation of branched β-dicarbonyl compounds by means of α-functionalization of non-substituted 1,3-diketones are also discussed.
