Combining an electrophilic iron complex [Fe(Fpda)(THF)]2 (3) [Fpda=N,N′-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-o-phenylenediamide] with the pre-activation of α-alkyl-substituted α-diazoesters reagents by LiAl(ORF)4 [ORF=(OC(CF3)3] provides unprecedented access to selective iron-catalyzed intramolecular functionalization of strong alkyl C(sp3)?H bonds. Reactions occur at 25 °C via α-alkyl-metallocarbene intermediates, and with activity/selectivity levels similar to those of rhodium carboxylate catalysts. Mechanistic investigations reveal a crucial role of the lithium cation in the rate-determining formation of the electrophilic iron-carbene intermediate, which then proceeds by concerted insertion into the C?H bond.

It has been shown that the base-initiated cyclo-oligomerisation of phthalonitriles is favoured by bulky α-substituents making it possible to obtain the metal-free phthalocyanine directly and in high yield. The phthalocyanine with eight α-isoheptyl substituents gives a high time-of-flight hole mobility of 0.14 cm2·V -1·s-1 within the temperature range of the columnar hexagonal phase, that is 169-189 °C.
Enantioselective synthesis of α-methyl carboxylic acids using a DiTOX chiral auxiliary
Page, Philip C. Bulman,McKenzie, Michael J.,Allin, Steven M.,Klair, Sukhbinder S.
, p. 13149 - 13164 (2007/10/03)
Five α-methyl carboxylic acids have been prepared with high e.e.s using 1,3-dithiane 1-oxide (DiTOX) units as the stereocontrolling elements and sources of chirality.
