- Suzuki-miyaura cross-coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl halides catalyzed by a nickel pincer complex
-
A nickel(II) pincer complex, [(MeN2N)Ni-Cl], was used to catalyze alkyl-alkyl and alkyl-aryl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl halides. The coupling of 9-alkyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and 9-phenyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane reagents with alkyl halides was achieved in modest to good yields. The reactions tolerated a variety of useful functional groups including ester, ether, furan, thioether, acetal, and Boc groups. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York.

- Total synthesis of N,O,O,O-tetraacetyl-d-ribo-phytosphingosine and its 2-epi-congener
-
Total synthesis of the natural d-ribo-phytosphingosine I and its 2-epimer III in the protected form was achieved through a common strategy. The aza-Claisen rearrangement of allylic thiocyanate (Z)-V incorporated the new stereogenic centre with nitrogen and the subsequent Wittig olefination constructed a non-polar side chain. Hydrogenation, followed by removal of protecting groups, completed the syntheses of I and III.

- Cobalt-catalyzed reductive coupling of saturated alkyl halides with activated alkenes
-
An efficient cobalt-catalyzed reductive coupling reaction of alkyl halides with electron-withdrawing alkenes (CH2=CR1EWG, EWG = electron-withdrawing group) in the presence of water and zinc powder in acetonitrile to give the corresponding Michael-type addition product (RCH 2CR1EWG) was described. The methodology is versatile such that unactivated primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl bromides and iodides and various conjugated alkenes including acrylates, acrylonitrile, methyl vinyl ketone, and vinyl sulfone all successfully participate in this coupling reaction. For the alkyl halides used in the reaction, the iodides generally gave heller yields compared to those of the corresponding bromides. It is a unique method employing CoI2dppe, zinc, and alkyl halides, affording conjugate addition products in high yields. Mechanistically, the reaction appears to follow an oxidative addition driven route rather than the previously reported radical route.
