Paper based on a presentation at the 14th International Symposium on Organometallic Chemistry Directed Towards Organic Synthesis (OMCOS-14), 2-6 August 2007, Nara, Japan. Other presentations are published in this issue, pp. 807-1194A new hydrosilylative cross-coupling reaction of a variety of alkynes with several alkenes, which is catalyzed by a cationic Pd complex [Pd(η3-C3H5)(cod)]+[PF6]- (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) was studied systematically. The reaction using HSiCl3 as an addend afforded more or less two types of products consisting of four possible derivatives, R1CH=CR2-CHR3-CHR4-SiCl3, which always contained 4-trichlorosilyl-1-butene frameworks, in acceptable combined yields. The coupling pattern was markedly dependent both on the precatalyst in the absence or presence of PPh3 ligand and on the combination of the alkyne and alkene partners employed. A possible catalytic cycle that involves an initial hydropalladation of an alkyne, followed by a facile and specific carbopalladation of an alkene, is proposed. At the same time, the lack of regioselectivity in the latter step is noted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Other presentations are published in this issue, pp. 807-1194A new type of catalytic hydrosilylation of arylalkynes was induced by a 16-electron ruthenium bis(silyl) phosphine complex, resulting in ortho-silylation of the aryl group as well as a hydrogenation of the alkyne CC bond to give an (E)-form of alkene selectively. On the other hand, the same reaction using a related bis(silyl) complex having an η6-toluene ligand instead of the phosphine ligand as a catalyst led to a normal hydrosilylation reaction to afford silylalkene.

The utility has been demonstrated in the context of stereoselective [4+3] cycloaddition with nitrones to provide highly functionalized 1,2-oxazepines, including the asymmetric variant with high enantioselectivity.

Other presentations are published in this issue, pp. 807-1194Selective cross-addition of triisopropylsilylacetylene (TIPSA) to unactivated alkynes is catalyzed by dinuclear and mononuclear palladium complexes supported by a multidentate ligand, N,N'-bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]formamidine (dpfamH). While the addition reactions of TIPSA to dialkylacetylenes using palladium catalysts supported by monodentate and bidentate ligands gives dimers of TIPSA as major products, the reactions with the palladium complexes supported by dpfam affords cross-adducts selectively, in which the yields of TIPSA dimers are less than 5 %. The addition of TIPSA to monoalkylacetylenes also gives cross-adducts as major products, although the selectivity and yield are moderate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

These reactions proceed via C-H bond activation, insertion of acetylenes or α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization, and reductive elimination. Indene derivatives were also obtained from aromatic ketones and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in the presence of catalytic amounts of the rhenium complex and p-anisidine. Sequential ruthenium-catalyzed hydroamination of aromatic acetylenes with anilines, and rhenium-catalyzed reactions of the formed aromatic ketimines with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds also provided indene derivatives.

Metal-vinylidene catalytic species, which are easily accessible from terminal alkynes and catalytic amounts of transition-metal complexes, can be involved either in pericyclic reactions or in tandem processes triggered by nucleophilic attack at the electrophilic position of the vinylidene. In both cases, a wide variety of valuable cyclic compounds are easily accessible. Some recent carbocyclizations will be described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Mo catalyst showed much better performance than the Ru catalyst in the present reactions, and nearly perfect resolution of the racemic ferrocenes was achieved. This is the first example of highly enantioselective metal-catalyzed methods of preparing optically active planar-chiral metallocenes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Other presentations are published in this issue, pp. 807-1194Nickel-catalyzed carbocyanation reaction of alkynes is described. Alkynes undergo aryl- and allylcyanation reaction in the presence of nickel-phosphine catalysts to give a wide range of substituted acrylonitriles in highly stereo-, regio-, and chemoselective manners. Lewis acid cocatalysts, such as AlMe3, AlMe2Cl, and BPh3, are found to promote the arylcyanation significantly. The cooperative catalysis of nickel and Lewis acid also allows the carbocyanation reaction using alkenyl and alkyl cyanides. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Other presentations are published in this issue, pp. 807-1194We recently reported the first catalytic diamination of alkenes. This protocol calls for the use of Pd(II) as catalyst in combination with PhI(OAc)2 as terminal oxidant and furnishes the final diamines as cyclic ureas. It consists of an unprecedented two-step reaction of aminopalladation and Csp3-N-bond formation involving a Pd(IV) species. Introduction of Ni(II) catalysts for homogeneous oxidation allows for an efficient diamination with sulfamides, which lead to convenient liberation of the free diamines. In related protocols, the substrate scope of the diamination has been broadened to the formation of cyclic guanidines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Paper based on a presentation at the 14th International Symposium on Organometallic Chemistry Directed Towards Organic Synthesis (OMCOS-14), 2-6 August 2007, Nara, Japan. Other presentations are published in this issue, pp. 807-1194The reaction of N-benzenesulfonylbenzaldimine with Ni(cod)2 and PCy3 gave the corresponding η2-iminenickel complex quantitatively. Diphenylacetylene reacted with the η2-iminenickel complex to generate five-membered aza-nickelacycle. Insertion of second alkynes into the five-membered aza-nickelacycle led to the formation of the corresponding seven-membered aza-nickelacycles. Heating the solution of the seven-membered aza-nickelacycles induced the reductive elimination to give 1,2-dihydropyridine. In the presence of 10 mol % of Ni(cod)2 and PMetBu2 at 100 °C, the intermolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition of N-benzenesulfonylbenzaldimine and 2-butyne occurred to give the expected 1,2-dihydropyridine in 87 % yield. In the presence of PCy3, the reaction also proceeded catalytically, however, PMetBu2 gave better results. Less bulky or less basic phosphine, PnBu3 or P(o-tol)3, was not efficient for the reaction. Although Ni(0)-NHC complex was a good catalyst for [2+2+2] cycloaddition of two alkynes and a ketone or an aldehyde, this reaction did not proceed in the presence of an NHC ligand, 1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene.

Other presentations are published in this issue, pp. 807-1194The gold-catalyzed endo-cycloisomerization of allenes bearing nucleophilic substituents in the α- or β-position opens up a versatile access to various five- and six-membered heterocycles. Key features of these transformations are the high reactivity of the allene in the presence of Lewis-acidic, carbophilic gold(I) or gold(III) catalysts, and the chirality transfer from the allenic axis of chirality to the new stereogenic center in the cyclization product. Recent contributions of our group include the optimization of chirality transfer by using σ-donor ligands to gold, and applications in the total synthesis of natural products, e.g., of the β-carboline alkaloids (-)-isocyclocapitelline and (-)-isochrysotricine.

Other presentations are published in this issue, pp. 807-1194Asymmetric allylic alkylations (AAAs) are among the most powerful C-C bond-forming reactions. We present a brief overview of copper-catalyzed AAAs with organometallic reagents and discuss our own contributions to this field. Work with zinc reagents and phosphoramidite ligands provided a framework for later developments which employ Grignard reagents and ferrocenyl ligands. High yields and excellent regioselectivities and enantioselectivities are achieved. The AAAs may be more general than previously envisioned, in terms of using substrates functionalized with heteroatoms at various positions; heteroatom substituents at the γ-position provide densely functionalized building blocks. These h-AAA reactions rely on the design of appropriate substrates containing heteroatoms and have allowed us to demonstrate viable new approaches toward the synthesis of versatile organic building blocks. We illustrate that the chiral secondary allylic alcohols, primary homo-allylic alcohols and amines can readily be obtained in high enantiomeric purity in a catalytic asymmetric fashion by copper-catalyzed AAAs. Furthermore, we show that manipulation of the terminal olefin provides chiral building blocks where the ee of the starting materials is preserved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For the syntheses of enantiopure novel homokainoids (pipecolino-glutamic acids), we successfully applied the cyclohydrocarbonylation (CHC) reaction, which has been developed in these laboratories. Efficient total syntheses of enantiopure novel homokainoids from (R)-serine feature the highly diastereoselective conjugate addition and the regioselective CHC process in the key steps.

A deoxygenation of alcohols is also promoted by InCl3 catalyst. This method requires no pretreatment or protection of hydroxy groups or deprotection of siloxy groups. The completion of the catalytic allylation depends on the low oxophilicity and high halophilicity of In(III) halide species, and other representative Lewis acids such as AlCl3 and BF3 have no catalytic activity for the allylations. The oxophilicity and halophilicity are also demonstrated by NMR studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
