Abstract
In this report, we demonstrate olefin transposition/isomerization reactions catalyzed by a series of N,N,N-pincer (1,3-bis(2-pyridylimino)isoindoline) Ru-hydride complexes. The protocol proceeds at room temperature for most substrates, achieving excellent yields, regioselectivity, and diastereoselectivity in short reaction times. The air-stable Ru-chloride derivatives of these complexes exhibit comparable reactivity enabling benchtop setup and synthetic versatility. Furthermore, we demonstrate the potential for one-pot cascade sequences of the products derived from the transposition reactions.

Abstract
A ligand-controlled regiodivergent and stereoselective ring-opening isomerization of vinylcyclopropane was developed with cobalt catalysis. Employing the commercially available Xantphos ligand, the reactions afforded exclusively linear-type 1,3-dienes as the products. Interestingly, when switching the ligand to an amido-diphosphine ligand (PNP), branched-type 1,3-dienes were obtained with high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggested that a π-allyl metal and a metal-hydride species are involved as key intermediates in the two transformations, respectively.

Abstract
Isomerization reactions of unsaturated molecules offer an efficient strategy in atom-economical synthesis. Although isomerization reactions of unsaturated organic and organometallic compounds, such as alkenes, alkynes, and metal carbynes, have been achieved, those of metal vinylidene units that contain cumulated double bonds have never been reported. Herein, we inaugurally discovered isomerization reactions of metal vinylidene units via protonation and deprotonation reactions of metal carbenes. Experimental and theoretical investigations indicate that the electrical characteristics of substituents on the rings play a crucial role in controlling the formation of metal vinylidene units. The isomerization reactions of metal vinylidene units were driven by thermodynamic forces. Moreover, one of the angles at metal vinylidenes was found as 126.9°, representing the smallest angle in metal vinylidenes and the first cyclic 4d transition metal (Ru) vinylidene complex was successfully isolated. These investigations unveil novel structures and reactivity for metal vinylidenes, offering a fresh perspective on the isomerization reactions of unsaturated molecules containing cumulative unsaturated bonds.

Abstract
This study focused on synthesizing the tricyclic hexasubstituted spirocyclopropane-core framework 2 of cyclohelminthol X (1), an antifungal cytotoxin isolated from Helminthosporium velutinum yone96 in a stereoselective manner. The synthesis features an SN2-type cyclopropanation of the quaternary chloride 23 generated via a retro-Michael-type ring-opening reaction of an 8-azatricyclo[4.3.0.12,5]deca-3,7,9-trione derivative 22. The successful synthesis confirmed the structure of 1, resolving the ambiguity from the absence of X-ray crystallographic analysis. The prepared models exhibited potent cytotoxicity.

Abstract
We report a single additive-responsive chromium-catalyzed system for selectively producing either of two different internal alkene isomers. The chromium catalyst, in the presence of HBpin/LiOtBu, enables the isomerization of alkenes over multiple carbon atoms to give the most thermodynamically stable isomers. The same catalyst allows for the selective isomerization of terminal alkenes over one carbon atom without an additive, exhibiting efficient and controllable alkene transposition selectivity.

Abstract
Earth-abundant-metal catalyzed double bond transposition offers a sustainable and atom-economical route toward the synthesis of internal alkenes. With an emphasis specifically on internal olefins and ethers, the isomerization of allylic amines has been particularly under represented in the literature. Herein, we report an efficient methodology for the selective isomerization of N-allylic organic compounds, including amines, amides, and imines. The reaction is catalyzed by a neutral PCNHCP cobalt(I) pincer complex and proceeds via a π-allyl mechanism. The isomerization occurs readily at 80-90 °C, and it is compatible with a wide variety of functional groups. The in situ formed enamines could additionally be used for a one-pot inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction to furnish a series of diversely substituted heterobiaryls, which is further discussed in this report.

Abstract
Small-ring chemistry is a fascinating field in organic chemistry. gem-Difluorinated cyclopropanes, a unique class of cyclopropanes, have garnered significant interest due to their intrinsic high reactivity. In this context, gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes have been extensively investigated as fluoroallylic synthons in Pd-catalyzed ring-opening/cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of monofluoroalkenes with linear or branched selectivity. In contrast, Rh-catalysis has revealed diverse selectivity in the reaction of gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes, such as regioselectivity, enantioselectivity, and chemoselectivity. This feature article aims to summarize our efforts towards developing Rh-catalyzed reactions of gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes, briefly discussing the design, selectivity, reaction mechanisms and future research prospects.

Abstract
The thermal 6π-electrocyclization of hexatriene typically delivers 1,3-cyclohexadiene (1,3-CHD). However, there is only limited success in directly synthesizing 1,4-cyclohexadiene (1,4-CHD) using such an approach, probably due to the difficulty in realizing thermally-forbidden 1,3-hydride shift after electrocyclic ring closure. The present study shows that by heating (2E,4E,6E)-hexatrienes bearing ester or ketone substituents at the C1-position in a mixture of toluene/MeOH or EtOH (2 : 1) solvents at 90-100 °C, 1,4-CHDs can be selectively synthesized. This is achieved through a torquoselective disrotatory 6π-electrocyclic ring closure followed by a proton-transfer process. The success of this method depends on the polar protic solvent-assisted intramolecular proton transfer from 1,3-CHD to 1,4-CHD, which has been confirmed by deuterium-labeling experiments. There are no reports to date for such a solvent-assisted isomerization. Density functional theory (DFT) studies have suggested that forming 1,3-CHD and subsequent isomerization is a thermodynamically feasible process, regardless of the functional groups involved. Two possible successive polar solvent-assisted proton-transfer pathways have been identified for isomerization.

Abstract
Novel synthetic strategies for the production of high-value chemicals based on the 12 principles of green chemistry are highly desired. Herein, we present a proof of concept for two novel chemo-enzymatic one-pot cascades allowing for the production of valuable fragrance and flavor aldehydes. We utilized renewable phenylpropenes, such as eugenol from cloves or estragole from estragon, as starting materials. For the first strategy, Pd-catalyzed isomerization of the allylic double bond and subsequent enzyme-mediated (aromatic dioxygenase, ADO) alkene cleavage were performed to obtain the desired aldehydes. In the second route, the double bond was oxidized to the corresponding ketone via a copper-free Wacker oxidation protocol followed by enzymatic Baeyer-Villiger oxidation (phenylacetone monooxygenase from Thermobifida fusca), esterase-mediated (esterase from Pseudomonas fluorescens, PfeI) hydrolysis and subsequent oxidation of the primary alcohol (alcohol dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida, AlkJ) to the respective aldehyde products. Eight different phenylpropene derivatives were subjected to these reaction sequences, allowing for the synthesis of seven aldehydes in up to 55% yield after 4 reaction steps (86% for each step).

Abstract
In this paper, the green synthesis of isoeugenol methyl ether (IEME) from eugenol by O-methylation and isomerization is completed using a one-step green process. In the methylation reaction, dimethyl carbonate (DMC) was used as a green chemistry reagent instead of the traditional harmful methylation reagents, in accordance with the current concept of green chemistry. The phase transfer catalyst (PTC) polyethylene glycol 800 (PEG-800) was introduced into the isomerization reaction to break the barrier of difficult contact between solid and liquid phases and drastically reduce the reaction conditions by shortening the reaction time and reducing the alkalinity of the reaction system. The catalytic systems for the one-step green synthesis of IEME were screened, and it was shown that the catalytic system "K2CO3 + PEG-800" was the most effective. The effects of reaction temperature, n(DMC):n(eugenol) ratio, n(PEG-800):n(eugenol) ratio, and n(K2CO3):n(eugenol) ratio on eugenol conversion, IEME yield, and IEME selectivity were investigated. The results showed that the best reaction was achieved at a reaction temperature of 140 °C, a reaction time of 3 h, a DMC drip rate of 0.09 mL/min, and n(eugenol):n(DMC):n(K2CO3):n(PEG-800) = 1:3:0.09:0.08. As a result of the conversion of 93.1% of eugenol to IEME, a yield of 86.1% IEME as well as 91.6% IEME selectivity were obtained.

Abstract
The base strength of oxide catalysts is controlled by the electron charge distribution between cations and anions, with unsaturated oxygen ions that have lone pair electrons typically acting as basic sites. Substitution of oxide ions with anions that have different valences, such as nitride and hydride ions, can often generate basic sites. It is plausible that electrons trapped at oxygen vacancy sites could provide increased electron density and shift the highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels of anions upward in the case that the oxygen vacancies couple with surface-substituted anions. The present work demonstrates that high catalytic basicity can be obtained via site-selective doping of anions at face-sharing Ti2O9 dimer sites with oxygen vacancies in BaTiO3-x. This improved basicity stems from the coupling of substituted nitride ions to electrons at oxygen vacancies. The oxynitride BaTiO3-xNy was found to contain nitride ions that have increased electronic charge density on the basis of such interactions. Enhanced surface basicity following doping with nitride ion was also confirmed by CO2 temperature-programmed desorption and infrared spectroscopy in conjunction with the adsorption of CHCl3. The strong Lewis base sites resulting from the formation of the oxynitride evidently facilitated the catalytic activation of C-H bonds to promote Knoevenagel condensation reactions between aldehydes and active methylene compounds with pKa values of up to 28.9.

Abstract
ConspectusTransition metal complexes featuring an M═NR bond have received great attention as critical intermediates in the synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds. In general, the properties of the imido ligand in these complexes are dependent on the nature of the metal center. Thus, the imido ligand tends to be nucleophilic in early transition metal complexes and electrophilic in late transition metal complexes. Nonetheless, the supporting ligand can have a dramatic effect on its reactivity. For example, there are sporadic examples of nucleophilic late transition metal imido complexes, often based on strongly donating supporting ligands. Building on these earlier works, in this Article, we show that the imido ligand in a low-coordinate high-spin bis(carbene)borate Fe(II) complex is able to access previously unknown reaction pathways, ultimately leading to new catalytic transformations. We first focus on the synthesis, characterization, and stoichiometric reactivity of a highly nucleophilic Fe(II) imido complex. The entry point for this system is the intermediate-spin three-coordinate Fe(III) imido complex, which is generated from the reaction of an Fe(I) synthon with an organic azide. Alkali metal reduction leads to a series of M+ (M = Li, Na, K) coordinated and charge-separated (M = K(18-C-6)) high-spin Fe(II) imido complexes, all of which have been isolated and fully characterized. Combined with the electronic structure calculations, these results reveal that the alkali ions moderately polarize the Fe═N bond according to K+ ≈ Na+ < Li+. As a result, the basicity of the imido ligand increases from the charged separated complex to K+, Na+, and Li+ coordinated complexes, as validated by intermolecular proton transfer equilibria. The impact of the counterion on imido ligand reactivity is demonstrated through protonation, alkylation, and hydrogen atom abstraction reactions. The counterion also directs the outcome of [2 + 2] reactions with benzophenone, where alkali coordination facilitates double bond metathesis. Building from here, we describe how the unusual nucleophilicity of the high-spin Fe(II) imido complex revealed in stoichiometric reactions can be extended to new catalytic transformations. For example, a [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction serves as the basis for the catalytic guanylation of carbodiimides under mild conditions. More interestingly, this complex also exhibits the first ene-like reactivity of an M═NR bond in reactions with alkynes, nitriles, and alkenes. These transformations form the basis of catalytic alkyne and nitrile α-deuteration and pKa-dictated alkene transposition reactions, respectively. Mechanistic studies reveal the critical role of metal-ligand cooperativity in facilitating these catalytic transformations and suggest the new avenues for transition metal imido complexes in catalysis that extend beyond classical nitrene transfer chemistry.

Abstract
Hydroamination facilitated by metal hydride catalysis is an appealing synthetic approach to access valuable nitrogen-containing compounds from readily available unsaturated hydrocarbons. While high regioselectivity can be achieved usually for substrates bearing polar chelation groups, the reaction involving simple alkenes frequently provides nonselective outcomes. Herein, we report an iridium-catalyzed highly regioselective terminal C(sp3)-H amidation of internal alkenes utilizing dioxazolones as an amino source via olefin chain walking. Most notably, this mechanistic motif of double bond migration to the terminal position operates not only with dialkyl-substituted simple alkenes including styrenes but also with heteroatom-substituted olefins such as enol ethers, vinyl silanes, and vinyl borons, thus representing the first example of the terminal methyl amidation of the latter type of alkenes through a nondissociative chain walking process.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed directed C-H allylation of arenes offers an efficient and straightforward approach to construct value-added allylic arenes. However, these reactions are often performed with precious transition-metal catalysts and mainly limited to ortho-C-H allylation of arenes. Herein, we disclose a novel iron-catalyzed para-C-H allylation of aniline derivatives with allyl alcohols via a chelation-induced strategy, providing various allylic arenes in good yields with excellent regio- and chemoselectivity. A simple FeCl3·6H2O is employed as a catalyst, serving a dual role in the reaction: (1) coordination with N-arylpicolinamide to alter the electronic property of the aromatic ring and (2) reaction with allyl alcohol to form allyl-Fe species.

Abstract
An iridium-catalyzed remote site-switchable hydroarylation of alkenes was reported, delivering the products functionalized at the subterminal methylene and terminal methyl positions on an alkyl chain controlled by two different ligands, respectively, in good yields and with good to excellent site-selectivities. The catalytic system showed good functional group tolerance and a broad substrate scope, including unactivated and activated alkenes. More importantly, the regioconvergent transformations of mixtures of isomeric alkenes were also successfully realized. The results of the mechanistic studies demonstrate that the reaction undergoes a chain-walking process to give an [Ar-Ir-H] complex of terminal alkene. The subsequent processes proceed through the modified Chalk-Harrod-type mechanism via the migratory insertion of terminal alkene into the Ir-C bond followed by C-H reductive elimination to afford the hydrofunctionalization products site-selectively.

Abstract
Axially chiral N-substituted quinazolinones are important bioactive molecules, which are presented in many synthetic drugs. However, most strategies toward their atroposelective synthesis are mainly limited to the axially chiral arylquinazolinone frameworks. The development of modular synthetic methods to access diverse quinazolinone-based atropisomers remains scarce and challenging. Herein, we report the regio- and atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral N-vinylquinazolinones via the strategy of asymmetric allylic substitution-isomerization. The catalysis system utilized both asymmetric transition-metal catalysis and organocatalysis to efficiently afford trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted N-vinylquinazolinone atropisomers, respectively. With the meticulous design of β-substituted allylic substrates, both Z- and E-tetrasubstituted axially chiral N-vinylquinazolinones were obtained in good yields and high enantioselectivities.

Abstract
The isomerization (chain-walking) reaction of terminal to internal alkenes is catalyzed by part-per-million amounts of practically any Ru source when the reaction is carried out with a neat terminal alkene. Here, we provide evidence that the soluble starting Ru sources evolve to catalytically active peralkene Ru(II) species under reaction conditions. These species may also explain the isomerization products found during other Ru-catalyzed alkene processes, i.e., alkene metathesis reactions. A Finke-Watzky mechanism for catalyst formation is consistent with the evidence obtained.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed cycloisomerization is a powerful strategy for the construction of cyclic organic molecules, and the use of palladium catalysts can deliver a wide range of monocyclic and bicyclic products. However, applications of cycloisomerizations in complex target synthesis in which more than one cycloisomerization process is deployed in a cascade context are rare. Here we report investigations of the relative rates of two different types of ene-ynamide cycloisomerization that form fused and spirocyclic rings, and use of these results to design a sequence-controlled cascade cycloisomerization that prepares the tetracyclic core of gelsemine in a single step. Crucial to this work was an evaluation of the kinetics of each cycloisomerization in competition experiments, which revealed a key influence of the ynamide electron-withdrawing group on the cycloisomerization reaction.

Abstract
Propenylbenzenes, including isosafrole, anethole, isoeugenol, and their derivatives, are natural compounds found in essential oils from various plants. Compounds of this group are important and valuable, and are used in the flavour and fragrance industries as well as the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The aim of this study was to develop an efficient process for synthesising oxygenated derivatives of these compounds and evaluate their potential biological activities. In this paper, we propose a two-step chemo-enzymatic method. The first step involves the synthesis of corresponding diols 1b-5b from propenylbenzenes 1a-5avia lipase catalysed epoxidation followed by epoxide hydrolysis. The second step involves the microbial oxidation of a diasteroisomeric mixture of diols 1b-5b to yield the corresponding hydroxy ketones 1c-4c, which in this study was performed on a preparative scale using Dietzia sp. DSM44016, Rhodococcus erythropolis DSM44534, R. erythropolis PCM2150, and Rhodococcus ruber PCM2166. Application of scaled-up processes allowed to obtain hydroxy ketones 1-4c with the following yield range 36-62.5%. The propenylbenzene derivatives thus obtained and the starting compounds were tested for various biological activities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, haemolytic, and anticancer activities, and their impact on membrane fluidity. Fungistatic activity assay against selected strains of Candida albicans results in MIC50 value varied from 37 to 124 μg/mL for compounds 1a, 3a-c, 4a,b, and 5a,b. The highest antiradical activity was shown by propenylbenzenes 1-5a with a double bond in their structure with EC50 value ranged from 19 to 31 μg/mL. Haemolytic activity assay showed no cytotoxicity of the tested compounds on human RBCs whereas, compounds 2b-4b and 2c-4c affected the fluidity of the RBCs membrane. The tested compounds depending on their concentration showed different antiproliferative activity against HepG2, Caco-2, and MG63. The results indicate the potential utility of these compounds as fungistatics, antioxidants, and proliferation inhibitors of selected cell lines.

Abstract
α,β-Unsaturated esters are key structural motifs widely distributed in various biologically active molecules, and their Z/E-stereoselective synthesis has always been considered highly attractive in organic synthesis. Herein, we present a >99% (E)-stereoselective one-pot synthetic approach towards β-phosphoroxylated α,β-unsaturated esters via a mild trimethylamine-catalyzed 1,3-hydrogen migration of the corresponding unconjugated intermediates derived from the solvent-free Perkow reaction between low-cost 4-chloroacetoacetates and phosphites. Versatile β,β-disubstituted (E)-α,β-unsaturated esters were thus afforded with full (E)-stereoretentivity by cleavage of the phosphoenol linkage via Negishi cross-coupling. Moreover, a stereoretentive (E)-rich mixture of a α,β-unsaturated ester derived from 2-chloroacetoacetate was obtained and both isomers were easily afforded in one operation.

Abstract
ConspectusCatalysis has become an essential tool in science and technology, impacting the discovery of pharmaceuticals, the manufacture of commodity chemicals and plastics, the production of fuels, and much more. In most cases, a particular catalyst is optimized to mediate a particular reaction, continually producing a desired product at a given rate. There is enormous opportunity in developing catalysts that are dynamic, capable of responding to a change in the environment to alter structure and function. Controlled catalysis, in which the activity or selectivity of a catalytic reaction can be adjusted through an external stimulus, offers opportunities for innovation in catalysis. Catalyst discovery could be simplified if a single thoughtfully designed complex could work synergistically with additives to optimize performance rather than trying a multitude of different metal/ligand combinations. Temporal control could be gained to facilitate the execution of multiple reactions in the same flask, for example, by activating one catalyst and deactivating another to avoid incompatibilities. Selectivity switching could enable copolymer synthesis with well-defined chemical and material properties. These applications might sound futuristic for synthetic catalysts, but in nature, such a degree of controlled catalysis is commonplace. For example, allosteric interactions and/or feedback loops modulate enzymatic activity to enable complex small-molecule synthesis and sequence-defined polymerization reactions in complex mixtures containing many catalytic sites. In many cases, regulation is achieved by "gating" substrate access to the active site. Fundamental advances in catalyst design are needed to better understand the factors that enable controlled catalysis in the arena of synthetic chemistry, particularly in achieving substrate gating outside of macromolecular environments. In this Account, the development of design principles for achieving cation-controlled catalysis is described. The guiding hypothesis was that gating substrate access to a catalyst site could be achieved by controlling the dynamics of a hemilabile ligand through secondary Lewis acid/base and/or cation-dipole interactions. To enforce such interactions, catalysts sitting at the interface of organometallic catalysis and supramolecular chemistry were designed. A macrocyclic crown ether was incorporated into a robust organometallic pincer ligand, and these "pincer-crown ether" ligands have been explored in catalysis. Complementary studies of controlled catalysis and detailed mechanistic analysis guided the development of iridium, nickel, and palladium pincer-crown ether catalysts capable of substrate gating. Toggling the gate between open and closed states leads to switchable catalysis, where cation addition/removal changes the turnover frequency or the product selectivity. Varying the degree of gating leads to tunable catalysis, where the activity can be tuned based on the identity and amount of salt added. Research has focused on reactions of alkenes, particularly isomerization reactions, which has in turn led to design principles for cation-controlled catalysts.

Abstract
The field of isomerization reactions for colloidal semiconductor magic-size clusters (MSCs) remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that MSCs isomerize via two fundamental pathways that are regulated by the acidity and amount of an incoming ligand, with CdTeSe as the model system. When MSC-399 isomerizes to MSC-422 at room temperature, the peak red-shift from 399 to 422 nm is continuous (pathway 1) and/or stepwise (pathway 2) as monitored in situ and in real time by optical absorption spectroscopy. We propose that pathway 1 is direct, with intracluster configuration changes and a relatively large energy barrier. Pathway 2 is indirect, assisted by the MSC precursor compounds (PCs), from MSC-399 to PC-399 to PC-422 to MSC-422. Pathway 1 is activated when PC-422 to MSC-422 is suppressed. Our findings unambiguously suggest that when a change occurs directly on a nanospecies, its absorption peak continuously shifts. The present study provides an in-depth understanding of the transformative behavior of MSCs via ligand-induced isomerization upon external chemical stimuli.

Abstract
The kinetics of hydride transfer from Re(Rbpy)(CO)3H (bpy = 4,4'-R-2,2'-bipyridine; R = OMe, tBu, Me, H, Br, COOMe, CF3) to CO2 and seven different cationic N-heterocycles were determined. Additionally, the thermodynamic hydricities of complexes of the type Re(Rbpy)(CO)3H were established primarily using computational methods. Linear free-energy relationships (LFERs) derived by correlating thermodynamic and kinetic hydricities indicate that, in general, the rate of hydride transfer increases as the thermodynamic driving force for the reaction increases. Kinetic isotope effects range from inverse for hydride transfer reactions with a small driving force to normal for reactions with a large driving force. Hammett analysis indicates that hydride transfer reactions with greater thermodynamic driving force are less sensitive to changes in the electronic properties of the metal hydride, presumably because there is less buildup of charge in the increasingly early transition state. Bronsted α values were obtained for a range of hydride transfer reactions and along with DFT calculations suggest the reactions are concerted, which enables the use of Marcus theory to analyze hydride transfer reactions involving transition metal hydrides. It is notable, however, that even slight perturbations in the steric properties of the Re hydride or the hydride acceptor result in large deviations in the predicted rate of hydride transfer based on thermodynamic driving forces. This indicates that thermodynamic considerations alone cannot be used to predict the rate of hydride transfer, which has implications for catalyst design.

Abstract
Simple N-heteroaromatic Ni(II) precatalysts, (L)NiMe2 (L = bipy, bipym), were used for alkene isomerization. With an original reduction method using a simple borane (HB(Cat)), a low-valent Ni center was formed readily and showed good conversion when a reducing divalent lanthanide fragment, Cp*2Yb, was coordinated to the (bipym)NiMe2 complex, a performance not achieved by the monometallic (bipy)NiMe2 analogue. Experimental mechanistic investigations and computational studies revealed that the redox non-innocence of the L ligand triggered an electron shuttle process, allowing the elusive formation of Ni(I) species that were central to the isomerization process. Additionally, the reaction occurred with a preference for mono-isomerization rather than chain-walking isomerization. The presence of the low-valent ytterbium fragment, which contributed to the formation of the electron shuttle, strongly stabilized the catalysts, allowing catalytic loading as low as 0.5%. A series of alkenes with various architectures have been tested. The possibility to easily tune the various components of the heterobimetallic catalyst reported here, the ligand L and the divalent lanthanide fragment, opens perspectives for further applications in catalysis induced by Ni(I) species.

Abstract
![]()
While Mn-catalyzed (de)hydrogenation of carbonyl derivatives
has
been well established, the reactivity of Mn hydrides with olefins
remains very rare. Herein, we report a Mn(I) pincer complex that effectively
promotes site-controlled transposition of olefins. This reactivity
is shown to emerge once the N–H functionality within the Mn/NH
bifunctional complex is suppressed by alkylation. While detrimental
for carbonyl (de)hydrogenation, such masking of the cooperative N–H
functionality allows for the highly efficient conversion of a wide
range of allylarenes to higher-value 1-propenybenzenes in near-quantitative
yield with excellent stereoselectivities. The reactivity toward a
single positional isomerization was also retained for long-chain alkenes,
resulting in the highly regioselective formation of 2-alkenes, which
are less thermodynamically stable compared to other possible isomerization
products. The detailed mechanistic analysis of the reaction between
the activated Mn catalyst and olefins points to catalysis operating
via a metal–alkyl mechanism—one of the three conventional
transposition mechanisms previously unknown in Mn complexes.

Abstract
A remote C(sp3 )-H bond asymmetric borylation of unactivated alkenes was achieved by bimetallic relay catalysis. The reaction proceeded through reversible and consecutive β-H elimination/olefin insertion promoted by CoH species generated in situ, followed by copper-catalyzed asymmetric protoboration. The use of this synergistic Co/Cu catalysis protocol allowed the enantioselective protoboration of various unactivated terminal alkenes and internal alkenes, as well as an unrefined mixture of olefin isomers, at the distal less-reactive β-position to a functional group, leading to chiral organoboronates.

Abstract
A base-promoted direct deaminative olefination of organoammonium salts was developed. Only mediated by KOtBu, a series of benzyl and cinnamyl ammonium salts reacted smoothly with sulfones, producing the valuable stilbenes and related 1,3-diene derivatives in good to high yields with good functional group tolerance and excellent E-selectivity. With this developed method, biologically active resveratrol and DMU-212 were also successfully prepared, which further demonstrates the practicality of this reaction.

Abstract
The chain–walking of terminal alkenes (also called migration or isomerization reaction) is currently carried out in industry with unselective and relatively costly processes, to give mixtures of alkenes with significant amounts of oligomerized, branched and reduced by–products. Here, it is shown that part–per–million amounts of a variety of commercially available and in–house made ruthenium compounds, supported or not, transform into an extremely active catalyst for the regioselective migration of terminal alkenes to internal positions, with yields and selectivity up to >99% and without any solvent, ligand, additive or protecting atmosphere required, but only heating at temperatures >150 °C. The resulting internal alkene can be prepared in kilogram quantities, ready to be used in nine different organic reactions without any further treatment. The chain-walking of terminal alkenes is an industrially relevant reaction. Here, the authors show that part-per-million amounts of a variety of ruthenium compounds catalyze the reaction in yields and selectivity up to >99%, without any solvent or additive.

Abstract
The photochemical isomerization of α,β‐ to β,γ‐unsaturated ketones through a 1,5‐hydrogen atom transfer mechanism under mild conditions with high efficiency and selectivity is reported. The reaction is carried out in the absence of metal catalysts or other additives, and its stereoselectivity can be tuned by selecting appropriate solvent mixtures. The reaction‘s scope and tolerance towards functional groups, including light‐sensitive halogens, free acids and alcohols, were studied, providing reliable access to a wide variety of β,γ‐unsaturated ketones. This methodology details the deconjugation of a wide range of unsaturated ketones and, when combined with olefin metathesis, provides an efficient process for either dehomologation or one‐carbon double‐bond migration of terminal alkenes.

Abstract
A successful example of oxidative meta-dehydrogenative allylation of arenes with alkenes has been developed using Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 as a catalyst and DTBP as an oxidant. In the allylation process, pyrimidines, pyrazoles, and purines, found widely in nucleosides, were effective auxiliary groups. Gram-scale experiments took place smoothly under optimized conditions. Mechanistic studies indicated that ruthenium-catalyzed meta-dehydrogenative allylation was a free-radical process. The allylation process developed herein provides an efficient and practical strategy to prepare versatile meta-allylated arenes.

An efficient cobalt-catalyzed geometrical isomerization of 1,3-dienes is described. In the combination of a CoCl2 precatalyst with an amido-diphosphine-oxazoline ligand, the geometrical isomerization of E/Z mixtures of 1,3-dienes proceed in a stereoconvergent manner, affording (E) isomers in high stereoselectivity. This facile transformation features a broad substrate scope with good functional group tolerance and could be scaled up to the gram scale smoothly with a catalyst loading of 1 mol %.

[PMID: 35254538 PMCID: PMC8901917 DOI: 10.1007/s13659-022-00331-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Structural derivatization of natural products has been a continuing and irreplaceable source of novel drug leads. Natural phenols are a broad category of natural products with wide pharmacological activity and have offered plenty of clinical drugs. However, the structural complexity and wide variety of natural phenols leads to the difficulty of structural derivatization. Skeleton analysis indicated most types of natural phenols can be structured by the combination and extension of three common fragments containing phenol, phenylpropanoid and benzoyl. Based on these fragments, the derivatization strategies of natural phenols were unified and comprehensively analyzed in this review. In addition to classical methods, advanced strategies with high selectivity, efficiency and practicality were emphasized. Total synthesis strategies of typical fragments such as stilbenes, chalcones and flavonoids were also covered and analyzed as the supplementary for supporting the diversity-oriented derivatization of natural phenols.

Abstract
The singlet 2,2-dialkoxycyclopentane-1,3-diyl diradicaloids are not only the important key intermediates in the process of bond homolysis but are also attracting attention as π-single bonding compounds. In the present study, the effects of solvent viscosity η (0.24-125.4 mPa s) and polarity π* (-0.11 to 1.00 kcal mol-1) on the reactivity of localized singlet diradicaloids were thoroughly investigated using 18 different solvents including binary mixed solvent systems containing ionic liquids. In low-η solvents (η < 1 mPa s), the lifetimes of singlet diradicaloids, which are determined by the rate constant for the isomerization of π-single-bonded singlet diradicaloids to the σ-bonded isomer, were substantially dependent on π*. Slower isomerization was observed in more polar solvents. In high-η solvents (η > 2 mPa s), the rate of isomerization was largely influenced by η in addition to π*. Slower isomerization was observed in more viscous solvents. Experimental results demonstrated the crucial roles of both solvent polarity and viscosity in the reactivity of singlet diradicaloids and thus clarified the characters of singlet diradicaloids and molecular motions during the chemical transformation. The dynamic solvent effect was further proved by a long alkyl chain introduced at a remote position of the reaction site.
