Rhodium catalysts for arene alkenylation reported by our group (e.g., Science 2015, 348, 421; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017, 139, 5474; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2018, 140, 17007) have demonstrated selectivity for 1-aryl alkenes over y-aryl alkenes (y > 1). This selectivity is notable because 1-aryl alkenes or 1-aryl alkanes cannot be generated using acid-based Friedel-Crafts arene alkylation or acidic zeolite catalysts. Herein, we report the extension of Rh arene alkenylation catalysis to generate 1-tolyl-1-pentenes, which are potential precursors for bicyclic compounds. The olefin concentration, copper(II) oxidant identity and concentration, reaction temperature, and rhodium concentration for the alkenylation of toluene with 1-pentene have been optimized using [Rh(Η2-C2H4)2(μ-OAc)]2 as the catalyst precursor. The rhodium-based catalysis achieves up to 12(1):1 anti-Markovnikov selectivity for 1-tolyl-1-pentenes over 2-tolyl-2-pentenes and is selective for alkenylation in the meta and para positions.
Probing solvent effects on mixed aggregates associating a chiral lithium amide and n-BuLi by NMR: From structure to reactivity

, p. 14219 - 14228 (2014/12/11)
An NMR study of a 1 : 1 mixture of a chiral lithium amide (4a) and n-BuLi shows that depending on the solvent employed (Et2O or THF) a mixed aggregate can form in proportions that are directly related to the ees measured during the enantioselec
A novel one-pot synthesis of secondary alcohols from esters
Chae, Min Jung,Jeon, Ah Ram,Park, Jae Kyo,An, Duk Keun
experimental part, p. 1718 - 1720 (2011/04/25)
Alkylation or vinylation by using organometallic reagents after partial reduction of carboxylic esters with LDBBA gave secondary alcohols, also involving allyl alcohols, without any isolation of intermediates in good yield (54-78%).
