Nickel-Catalyzed Enantioselective Conjunctive Cross-Coupling of 9-BBN Borates
Chierchia, Matteo,Law, Chunyin,Morken, James P.
, p. 11870 - 11874 (2017/09/06)
Catalytic enantioselective conjunctive cross-coupling between 9-BBN borate complexes and aryl electrophiles can be accomplished with Ni salts in the presence of a chiral diamine ligand. The reactions furnish chiral 9-BBN derivatives in an enantioselective fashion and these are converted to chiral alcohols and amines, or engaged in other stereospecific C?C bond forming reactions.
Transformation of Alkyl Halides to Aldehydes Having Two Additional Carbon Atoms
Shankaran, K.,Talekar, D. G.,Rao, A. S.
, p. 408 - 410 (2007/10/02)
Methyl 3-oxo-4-phenylbutanoate (6) reacts with alkyl halides (1a-g) in the presence of NaH/benzene to furnish alkylated β-keto esters (2a-g).Hydrolysis of 2a-g gives benzyl ketones (3a-g), which on reduction with sodium borohydride give the homobenzylic alcohols (4a-g).The alcohols (4a-g) are readily fragmented to aldehydes (5a-g) on heating with lead tetraacetate/iodine.
