We have developed a stereospecific, nickel-catalyzed Miyaura borylation of allylic pivalates, which delivers highly enantioenriched α-stereogenic γ-aryl allylboronates with good yields and regioselectivities. Our complementary sets of conditions enable access to either enantiomer of allylboronate product from a single enantiomer of readily prepared allylic pivalate substrate. Excellent functional group tolerance, yields, regioselectivities, and stereochemical fidelities are observed. The stereochemical switch from stereoretention to stereoinversion largely depends upon solvent and can be explained by competitive pathways for the oxidative addition step. Our mechanistic investigations support a stereoretentive pathway stemming from a directed oxidative addition and a stereoinvertive pathway that is dominant when MeCN blocks coordination of the directing group by binding the nickel catalyst.

An efficient method for the catalytic asymmetric additions to aldehydes using organolithium reagents and titanium(IV) isopropoxide in the presence of commercially available and relatively inexpensive diol ligands, such as (S)-BINOL or D-TADDOL has been developed. Good to excellent yields (up to 92%) and enantioselectivities (up to 94%) of the corresponding secondary alcohol products can be obtained following a simple procedure at relatively mild reaction temperatures.
Room temperature and highly enantioselective additions of alkyltitanium reagents to aldehydes catalyzed by a titanium catalyst of (R)-h 8-binol

experimental part, p. 929 - 939 (2012/06/29)
Three alkyltitanium reagents of RTi(O-i-Pr)3 (R = Cy (1a), i-Bu (1b), and n-Bu (1c)) were prepared in good yields. The high-resolution mass spectroscopy showed that 1b and 1c in the gas phase are monomeric species. However, the solid state of 1a revealed a dimeric structure. Asymmetric additions of 1a-1c to aldehydes catalyzed by a titanium catalyst of (R)-H 8-BINOL were studied at room temperature. The reactions produced desired secondary alcohols in good yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities of up to 94% ee. Reactivity and enantioselectivity differences, in terms of steric bulkiness of the R nucleophiles, are herein described. The addition reactions of secondary c-hexyl to aldehydes were slower than the reactions of primary i-butyl or n-butyl nucleophiles. For the primary alkyls, lower enantioselectivities were obtained for products from addition reactions of the linear n-butyl as compared with the enantioselectivities of products from the addition reactions of the branched i-butyl group. The same stereochemistry of RTi(O-i-Pr)3 addition reactions as the addition reactions of organozinc, organoaluminum, Grignard, or organolithium reagents directly supports the argument of that titanium-catalyzed addition reactions of aldehydes involve an addition of an organotitanium nucleophile.
