Regiodivergent Hydroborative Ring Opening of Epoxides via Selective C-O Bond Activation

A magnesium-catalyzed regiodivergent C-O bond cleavage protocol is presented. Readily available magnesium catalysts achieve the selective hydroboration of a wide range of epoxides and oxetanes yielding secondary and tertiary alcohols in excellent yields and regioselectivities. Experimental mechanistic investigations and DFT calculations provide insight into the unexpected regiodivergence and explain the different mechanisms of the C-O bond activation and product formation.

Visible-Light-Mediated Anti-Markovnikov Hydration of Olefins

Considering that stoichiometric borane and oxidant are required in the classical alkene anti-Markovnikov hydration process, it remains appealing to achieve the transformation in a catalytic protocol. Herein, a visible-light-mediated anti-Markovnikov addition of water to alkenes by using an organic photoredox catalyst in conjunction with a redox-active hydrogen atom donor was developed, which avoided the need for a transition-metal catalyst, stoichiometric borane, as well as oxidant. Both terminal and internal olefins are readily accommodated in this transformation to obtain corresponding primary and secondary alcohols in good yields with single regioselectivity. This procedure can be scaled up to gram scale with a 230 turnover number based on photocatalyst.

Zr-Catalyzed Electrophilic Carbomagnesation of Aryl Olefins. Mechanism-Based Control of Zr-Mg Ligand Exchange

(Formula Presented) The first examples of efficient electrophilic Zr-catalyzed carbomagnesations are disclosed, where in contrast to previous catalytic carbomagnesations the alkyl moiety of the electrophile is transferred (vs that of the Grignard reagent)
