Chiral allylic alcohols are highly prized in synthetic chemistry due to their versatile reactivity stemming from both alkenyl and hydroxyl functionalities. While the Nozaki–Hiyama–Kishi (NHK) reaction is a widely used method for the synthesis of allylic alcohols, it suffers from drawbacks such as the use of toxic chromium salts, high amounts of metal reductants, and poor enantiocontrol. To address these limitations, we present a novel approach involving a metallaphotoredox‐catalyzed asymmetric NHK reaction for the production of chiral allylic alcohols. This method marries alkenyl (pseudo)halides with aldehydes, leveraging a synergistic blend of a chiral nickel catalyst and a photocatalyst. This innovative technique enables both oxidative addition and insertion just using nickel, diverging significantly from the conventional NHK reaction pathway mediated by nickel and chromium salts. The adoption of this methodology holds immense promise for crafting a spectrum of intricate compounds, particularly those of significance in pharmaceuticals. Detailed experimental investigations have shed light on the metallaphotoredox process, further enhancing our understanding and enabling further advancements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The strasseriolide macrolides show promising in vitro and in vivo activities against P. falciparum and T. cruzi, the parasites causing malaria and Chagas disease, respectively. However, the as yet poor understanding of structure/activity relationships and the fact that one family member proved systemically toxic for unknown reasons render a more detailed assessment of these potential lead compounds difficult. To help overcome these issues, a collective total synthesis was devised. The key steps consisted of a ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) reaction to forge a common macrocyclic intermediate followed by a hydroxy‐directed ruthenium catalyzed trans‐hydrostannation of the propargyl alcohol site thus formed. The resulting alkenyltin derivative served as the central node of the synthesis blueprint, which could be elaborated into the natural products themselves as well as into a set of non‐natural analogues according to the concept of diverted total synthesis. The recorded biological data confirmed the potency of the compounds and showed the lack of any noticeable cytotoxicity. The "northern" allylic alcohol subunit was recognized as an integral part of the pharmacophore, yet it provides opportunities for chemical modification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Excess molar volume, excess isentropic compressibility, deviation in viscosity and excess Gibbs free energy for activation of viscous flow for binary mixtures of allyl alcohol (AA) with 2-methyl-2-butanol (2M2B), 2-methyl-1-butanol (2M1B) and 3-methyl-2-butanol (3M1B) components in different compositions were determined from the measured values of densities (ρ), viscosities (η) and speeds of sound (u) of pure components and their mixtures at various temperatures ranging from 303.15 K to 313.15 K. The excess properties have been discussed in terms of disruption of H-bonding and dipole–dipole interaction between the components of the mixtures. The Jouyban–Acree model results are discussed in terms of mean relative deviation (MRD) and individual relative deviation (IRD) between calculated and experimental parameters as an accuracy criterion and obtained a good agreement. The thermodynamic functions of activation of viscous flow have been estimated and tested. FTIR studies further confirm the experimental findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Temperature-responsive drug delivery systems offer the chance to better deliver anti-tumor drugs to tumor cells in a more controllable condition. In this work, a novel temperature-responsive nanocarrier was synthesized by grafting allyl alcohol and N-isopropyl acrylamide onto a nanodiamond surface and conjugated with polyester dendrimer for the controlled delivery of paclitaxel and photo-thermal therapy under near-infrared light irradiation. The morphology, chemical structure, and properties of this polymer were characterized through systematic characterization analyses. The data obtained from the non-linear isotherm model indicated that the sorption procedure followed Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption kinetic data shown that the pseudo-second-order model fitted well with the experimental results. The in-vitro drug release shown that about 92.10% of paclitaxel release was found to be occurred at the simulated physiological fluid within 48 h (pH 7.4; T = 45 °C), whereas about 64.38% of paclitaxel release occurred at the temperature of 37 °C (pH 7.4). Also, the released drug under near-infrared light irradiation reached up to 97.34% over 15 min, achieving the on-demand paclitaxel release. The release of the drug from the nanocarrier followed the mechanism of non-Fickian diffusion and best fitted to the Korsmeyer–Peppas model. The nanocarrier indicated dose dependent cytotoxicity towards MCF-7 cancer cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We report a photochemical method for the semipinacol rearrangement of unactivated allylic alcohols. Aliphatic as well as aromatic groups participate as migrating groups, yielding a variety of α,α‐disubstituted ketones. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and is compatible with ethers, esters, halides, nitriles, carbamates, and substituted arenes. The operationally simple and fully catalytic conditions prescribe 1 mol % benzothiazinoquinoxaline as organophotocatalyst, 0.5 mol % Co‐salen, and 10 mol % lutidinium triflate and, importantly, display reactivity complementary to procedures employing Brønsted acid. We showcase the utility of the protocol in late‐stage drug diversifications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A transition metal‐free synthesis of alkylidene dihydroisobenzofurans from the ortho‐alkynyl allylic alcohols is reported herein. Notably, a simple base tBuOK is utilized for the 5‐exo‐dig cyclization and double bond isomerization of ortho‐alkynyl allylic alcohols to furnish alkylidene dihydrobenzofurans with Z‐stereoselectivity under shorter reaction times. In addition, the geometry of the double bonds was confirmed by 1D Selective Gradient NOESY and 2D NMR (NOESY) analysis. Furthermore, the effectuality of the ortho‐alkynyl allylic alcohols has been shown by extending to the one‐pot synthesis of indanones via aqueous acid‐mediated hydrolysis (ring‐opening) of in‐situ formed dihydroisobenzofurans followed by intramolecular condensation reaction under acidic conditions [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cyclopropanes are among the most important structural units in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Herein, we report a manganese-catalyzed cyclopropanation of allylic alcohols with sulfones as carbene alternative precursors via a borrowing hydrogen strategy under mild conditions. Various allylic alcohols and arylmethyl trifluoromethyl sulfones work efficiently in this borrowing hydrogen transformation and thereby deliver the corresponding cyclopropylmethanol products in 58% to 99% yields. Importantly, a major benefit of this transformation is that the versatile free alcohol moiety is retained in the resultant products, which can undergo a wide range of downstream transformations to provide access to a series of functional molecules. Mechanistic studies support a sequential reaction mechanism that involves catalytic dehydrogenation, Michael addition, cyclization, and catalytic hydrogenation. Developing readily available and bench-stable reagents for the cyclopropanation of olefins is needed as traditional methodologies mainly rely on carbene-based strategies. Herein, the authors report a manganese-catalyzed cyclopropanation of allylic alcohols with sulfones via a borrowing hydrogen strategy under mild conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A gold(I)‐catalyzed intramolecular dehydrative amination method has been developed to synthesize diverse cyclic sulfamides efficiently. Reactions proceed smoothly at room temperature using a combination of (IPr)AuCl (5 mol%) and AgBF4 (5 mol%). This method showcases a broad substrate scope, encompassing challenging seven‐membered ring structures, and exhibits functional group compatibility. Moreover, the reaction demonstrates high stereoselectivity, allowing the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched cyclic sulfamides from chiral secondary allylic alcohols. The synthesized cyclic sulfamides serve as valuable intermediates for generating 1,3‐diamines. This approach provides an improved route for cyclic sulfamide synthesis and a strategic entry point for obtaining essential 1,3‐diamine derivatives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A domino reaction comprising four consecutive steps based on the strategy of isomerization of allylic alcohols was developed. This base‐catalyzed protocol provided an approach for constructing polysubstituted quinolines without additional additives. A wide range of di‐ or trisubstituted γ‐aminoaryl allylic alcohols bearing alkyl or (hetero)aryl substituents were transformed to a range of structurally diverse quinolines. The utility of this transformation was demonstrated by the application in the concise synthesis of several polysubstituted quinoline derivatives, including natural products and pharmacological agents. Preliminary mechanistic experiments suggest that the isomerization of γ‐aminoaryl allylic alcohol proceeds via an intramolecular 1,3‐hydrogen shift whereas for the aromatization of the dihydroquinoline intermediate two possible pathways exist: acceptorless dehydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation.

3-Methyl indanones are key synthetic building blocks for a variety of natural and useful synthetic compounds. Their synthesis is exceedingly difficult. Herein, we described a palladium (II) mediated intramolecular one-pot redox-relay cyclization of aromatic homoallylic alcohols to cyclic keto compounds. This catalytic system enabled direct conversion of homoallylic alcohols to corresponding indanones (3-methyl-1-indanones). Homoallylic alcohols were synthesized by reacting allyl magnesium bromide with corresponding aromatic aldehydes. The optimized reaction yielded up to 88% 3-methylindanones. Our findings enabled us to device a plausible mechanism for this one pot reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A novel strategy that combines oxidative aminocatalysis and gold catalysis allows the preparation of chiral α‐quaternary isochromanes, a motif that is prevalent in natural products and synthetic bioactive compounds. In the first step, α‐branched aldehydes and propargylic alcohols are transformed into α‐quaternary ethers with excellent optical purities (>90 % ee) via oxidative umpolung with DDQ and an amino acid‐derived primary amine catalyst. Subsequent gold(I)‐catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation affords the isochromane products with retention of the quaternary stereocenter. A second approach explores the use of allylic alcohols as reaction partners for the oxidative coupling to furnish α‐quaternary ethers with generally lower enantiopurities. Stereoretentive cyclization to isochromane products is achieved via intramolecular Friedel‐Crafts type alkylation with allylic acetates as a reactive handle. A number of synthetic elaborations and a biological study on these α‐quaternary isochromanes highlight the potential applicability of the presented method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Excess molar volume, excess isentropic compressibility, deviation in viscosity and excess Gibbs free energy for activation of viscous flow for binary mixtures of allyl alcohol (C) with benzyl aldehyde (C1), benzylamine (C2) and benzyl alcohol (C3) components in selected compositions were determined from the measured values of densities (ρ), viscosities (η) and speeds of sound (u) of pure components and their mixtures at 303.15–313.15 K. These results were analysed by different theoretical models, such as PFP and Jouyban–Acree model. The effect of various functional groups on the excess properties was discussed in terms of disruption of H-bonding and dipole–dipole interaction between the components of the mixtures. The thermodynamic results of the present investigation have been correlated with FTIR spectral studies and have obtained a good agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
A new type of catalyst containing magnesium oxide modified with various modifiers ranging from bromine and iodine, to interhalogen compounds, hydrohalogenic acids, and alkyl halides have been prepared using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and wet impregnation methods. The obtained systems were characterized using a number of methods: determination of the concentration of X− ions, surface area determination, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), surface acid–base strength measurements, TPD of probe molecules (acetonitrile, pivalonitrile, triethylamine, and n-butylamine), TPD-MS of reaction products of methyl iodide with MgO, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The catalysts’ activity and chemoselectivity during transfer hydrogenation from ethanol to acrolein to allyl alcohol was measured. A significant increase in the activity of modified MgO (up to 80% conversion) in the transfer hydrogenation of acrolein was found, while maintaining high chemoselectivity (>90%) to allyl alcohol. As a general conclusion, it was shown that the modification of MgO results in the suppression of strong basic sites of the oxide, with a simultaneous appearance of Brønsted acidic sites on its surface. Independently, extensive research on the reaction progress of thirty alkyl halides with MgO was also performed in order to determine its ability to neutralize chlorinated wastes.

Carbon dots (CDs) with a size range of 0.2 to 2 nm were prepared using a hydrothermal treatment of sucrose and oleic acid. The as-synthesized CDs were used to reduce H2PdCl4 to metallic Pd nanoparticles with dPd = 9.3 ± 3.7 nm, as confirmed by PXRD and HRTEM data. Pd particles were made to be larger than the CDs, to observe any inverse support effects, however, TEM data revealed that the CDs were transformed to carbon sheets in the reduction reaction at 100 °C. The synthesized Pd-CDs catalysts (0.81 wt. % loading) and CDs were both tested for the liquid phase hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde. The influence of mass, temperature, and hydrogen flow rate on the activity and selectivity of the CDs and Pd-CDs catalyst on the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde was investigated. The CDs gave a cinnamaldehyde conversion (40%, 4 h) with selectivity towards the reduction of the C = O bond (cinnamyl alcohol) while the Pd-carbon catalyst was only selective to the reduction of the C = C bond (conversion 78%) indicating the dominance of Pd in the reaction. Post analysis of the deactivated catalysts indicated formation of carbon sheets and sintering of the Pd nanoparticles. It is thus shown that the presence of Pd induces the CDs to carbon sheet formation and thus indicates the limited use of CDs as a support for the olefin hydrogenation reaction with the CDs produced carbon support. This finding has implications for other studies using CDs as supports. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A novel strategy has been developed for the synthesis of 2,3‐diarylindanones and 2‐arylindenes through the formation of trisubstituted α,β‐unsaturated esters by the ring opening of 2,3‐diarylcyclopropenones in the presence of a catalytic amount of TPP under mild reaction conditions. Initially, PPh3 activates the diarycyclopropenone to generate the phosphonium adduct, which simultaneously reacts with 4‐hydroxycoumarins to afford α,β‐unsaturated esters instead of Wittig olefination. Subsequently, these α,β‐unsaturated esters undergo a smooth Friedel–Crafts‐type cyclization with arenes in the presence of AlCl3 to give a new series of 2,3‐diarylindanones in good to excellent yields. Additionally, the reduction of α,β‐unsaturated esters with NaBH4 followed by acid‐catalyzed cyclization of the resulting allylic alcohols afforded 2‐arylindenes in good yields. This is the first report on the use of α,β‐unsaturated esters as precursors for the synthesis of diarylindanones and arylindenes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We disclose herein an electrochemical allylation of unactivated aldehydes and ketones with allylic alcohols. A wide variety of homoallylic alcohols can be obtained by treatment of aldehydes/ketones with allyl alcohols in a simple undivided cell at room temperature. In contrast to previous strategies using allyl organometallic reagents, allylsilicon, allylboron and allyl halides as the allylic precursors, the present method used allyl alcohols as effective surrogates, which makes it more practical and environmentally sustainable.

This article provides a comprehensive report on the rhodium(III)-catalyzed C–H activation in indole from 2017 to 2022. The direct functionalization of C–H bonds offers a more sustainable and economically sensible route in organic synthesis, reducing the production of hazardous waste. Rhodium has been widely used as a catalyst for C–H functionalization due to its excellent functional group compatibility, versatility, reactivity, and selectivity. The article focuses on the utilization of Rh(III) catalyst for C–H activation of the indole moiety, which is a structurally important building block in natural products and pharmaceutical treatments. Various methods for directed C–H functionalization of indoles, such as C2 activation, alkylation, hydroarylation, and dual C–H activation reactions, are discussed. The text also discusses various methods for the synthesis of carbazole derivatives, benzo[e]indoles, and selective functionalization of indoles through C–H activation. While progress has been made in this area, there are still challenges to overcome, such as the need for harsh reaction conditions and stoichiometric metal oxidants. Continued research in this field is expected to improve reaction conditions and increase overall efficiency. [Extracted from the article]

The field of supported catalysis has experienced increased attention with respect to the development of novel architectures for immobilizing catalytic species, aiming to maintain or enhance their activity while facilitating the easy recovery and reuse of the active moiety. Dendrimers have been identified as promising candidates capable of imparting such properties to catalysts through selective functionalization. The present study details the synthesis of two polyphosphorhydrazone (PPH) dendrons, each incorporating azide or acetylene groups at the core for subsequent coupling through "click" triazole chemistry. Employing this methodology, a novel PPH Janus dendrimer was successfully synthesized, featuring ten polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains on one side of the structure and ten Ru(p-cymene) derivatives on the other. This design was intended to confer dual properties, influencing solubility modulation, and allowing the presence of active catalytic moieties. The synthesized dendrimer underwent testing in the isomerization of allyl alcohols in organic solvents and biphasic solvent mixtures. The results demonstrated a positive dendritic effect compared with model monometallic and bimetallic species, providing a proof-ofconcept for the first PPH Janus dendrimer with tested applications in catalysis.

Catalytic methods allowing for the reliable prediction and control of diverse regioselectivity along with the control of enantioselectivity to access different regio‐ and enantiomers by switching the least reaction parameters are one of the most attractive ways in organic synthesis, which provide access to diverse enantioenriched architectures from identical starting materials. Herein, a Co‐catalyzed regiodivergent and enantioselective reductive hydroalkylation of 1,3‐dienes with aldehydes has been achieved, furnishing different enantioenriched homoallylic alcohol architectures in good levels of enantioselectivity. The reaction features the switch of regioselectivity tuned by the selection of proton source. The use of an acid as proton source provided asymmetric 1,2‐hydroalkylation products under reductive conditions, yet asymmetric 4,3‐hydroalkylation products were obtained with silane as hydride source. This catalytic protocol allows for the access of homoallylic alcohols with two continuous saturated carbon centers in good levels of regio‐, diastereo‐, and enantioselectivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Allyl alcohol is an important chemical intermediate widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and perfumes. Therefore, studying the efficient separation of the azeotropic system of allyl alcohol-water has important practical significance. Based on the COSMO-RS predictive model and by using the selectivity and capacity as the evaluator, the performance of the ionic liquids as extractants for separating the azeotropic system of allyl alcohol-water were studied. First, two high-performance extractants named tetramethylammonium chloride (C12A11) and tetramethylammonium bromide (C12A12) were screened from 384 ion liquids designed by combining 16 anions and 24 cations. Second, the reliability of the model in predicting the vapor-liquid phase equilibrium behavior of the allyl alcohol-water system was verified. Then, tetramethylammonium chloride was used to investigate its effect on the vapor-liquid phase equilibrium of the allyl alcohol-water system. The results show that at a molar content of tetramethylammonium chloride of 0.1, the azeotrope of the system can be broken, which can be used for enhanced separation of the allyl alcohol-water system. On this basis, the mechanism of extractant selectivity for allyl alcohol was analyzed from the perspective of microscopic molecular interactions, providing theoretical support and data support for further designing high-performance ion liquid extractants.

Herein we report the discovery and development of the first example of a cationic [1,5]‐aryl migration reaction, through an unprecedented phenonium ions. This reaction does not require any acid, base, transition metal‐based catalyst or promoter, instead promoted by the water activated NXS reagents. It provides a highly diastereoselective and rapid access to the medicinally and biologically important tetra‐substituted olefins (allyl alcohols). The involvement of an ipso‐carbon, as well as the phenonium ion during this novel, cationic [1,5]‐aryl migration was strongly supported by the isolation of 2‐oxaspiro[5.5]undecane‐9‐ones. This methodology is highly tolerable for a wide range of propargyl‐benzyl ethers, resulting in a selective construction of structurally divergent library of mono‐halo‐tricarbon‐substituted alkenes. Synthetic application has also been demonstrated by converting two isomeric‐iodo‐olefins to respective E‐ and Z‐isomers of tamoxifen in a stereospecific manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hybrid phosphines usually combine a phosphine moiety with another heteroatom secondary donor group in their structures while compounds equipped with hydrocarbyl π–donor moieties remain uncommon. This contribution reports the synthesis and structural characterization of the first P/π-allyl-chelating complexes that were obtained using the structurally flexible and redox-active ferrocene unit as the scaffold, viz. [PdCl(R2PfcCHCHCH2-η3:κP)] (1R; R = Ph and cyclohexyl (Cy); fc = ferrocene-1,1′-diyl). These compounds were synthesized from the respective phosphinoferrocene carboxaldehydes R2PfcCHO via reaction with vinylmagnesium bromide to generate 1-(phosphinoferrocenyl)allyl alcohols, which were subsequently acetylated. The resulting allyl acetates reacted smoothly with [Pd2(dba)3]/[Et3NH]Cl (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) to produce the target compounds. Complexes 1R and their nontethered analogues [PdCl(η3-C3H5)(FcPR2-κP)] (5R; Fc = ferrocenyl) were evaluated as pre-catalysts for the Pd-catalysed allylic amination of cinnamyl acetate with aliphatic amines and Suzuki–Miyaura-type cross-coupling of 4-tolylboronic acid with benzoyl chloride. In these reactions, better results were achieved with compounds 5R (particularly with 5Ph), presumably because they form more stable LPd(0)-type catalysts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In contrast to the well‐studied 1‐vinylcyclobutanols, the reactivity of 3‐vinylazetidin‐3‐ols 1 and 3‐vinyloxetan‐3‐ols 2 under transition metal catalysis remains largely unexplored. We report herein their unique reactivity under dual palladium and acid catalysis. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2(PPh3)2, AgTFA and triflic acid, the reaction of 1 or 2 with aryl iodides affords 2,3,4‐trisubstituted dihydrofurans, which are valuable heterocycles in organic synthesis. Mechanistic studies reveal that this arylative ring‐expansion reaction proceeds via a domino process involving Heck arylation of alkene, acid‐catalyzed transposition of allylic alcohol and ring opening of the azetidine/oxetane by an internal hydroxyl group.

This document explores the regioselective N-allylation of various heterocycles using organoboron-palladium catalysis. The authors emphasize the significance of this reaction in organic synthesis, particularly in drug design. They discuss different methods for achieving selective N-alkylation or O-alkylation, including base-mediated reactions, transition-metal-catalyzed couplings, and O-to-N rearrangements. The authors then present their own protocol using organoboron catalysts in combination with a palladium/Xantphos complex to achieve N-allylation. They demonstrate the effectiveness of their method through successful allylation of different heterocycles. The document also discusses the use of arylboronic acid as a catalyst in palladium-catalyzed couplings of allylic alcohols with pyridones and related heterocycles, highlighting its potential advantages such as low palladium catalyst loadings and applicability to various heterocyclic scaffolds. Future research will focus on expanding this catalyst system to other types of transformations. [Extracted from the article]

- Abstract
The selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes using unsupported nanoporous platinum–iron–aluminum (PtFeAlNPore) as a heterogeneous catalyst was investigated in depth. A PtFeAlNPore trimetallic catalyst with a highly bicontinuous nanostructure was synthesized by a two-step chemical dealloying method. The catalyst exhibited a good yield with high selectivity for the hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes into allyl alcohols under mild reaction conditions. A series of characterizations revealed that a decrease in the Pt electronic density (exhibiting superior hydrogen-activation ability), a nanoporous structure (providing increased reaction active sites), Lewis acidity (promoting the adsorption and activation of the carbonyl group in α,β-unsaturated aldehydes), and intimate PtFe–Fe
3 O4 heterointerfaces (facilitating the selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes into allyl alcohols) led to the excellent catalytic performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Alcohol is ubiquitous with unparalleled structural diversity and thus has wide applications as a native functional group in organic synthesis. It is highly prevalent among biomolecules and offers promising opportunities for the development of chemical libraries. Over the last decade, alcohol has been extensively used as an environmentally friendly chemical for numerous organic transformations. In this review, we collectively discuss the utilisation of alcohol from 2015 to 2023 in various organic transformations and their application toward intermediates of drugs, drug derivatives and natural product-like molecules. Notable features discussed are as follows: (i) sustainable approaches for C–X alkylation (X = C, N, or O) including O-phosphorylation of alcohols, (ii) newer strategies using methanol as a methylating reagent, (iii) allylation of alkenes and alkynes including allylic trifluoromethylations, (iv) alkenylation of N-heterocycles, ketones, sulfones, and ylides towards the synthesis of drug-like molecules, (v) cyclisation and annulation to pharmaceutically active molecules, and (vi) coupling of alcohols with aryl halides or triflates, aryl cyanide and olefins to access drug-like molecules. We summarise the synthesis of over 100 drugs via several approaches, where alcohol was used as one of the potential coupling partners. Additionally, a library of molecules consisting over 60 fatty acids or steroid motifs is documented for late-stage functionalisation including the challenges and opportunities for harnessing alcohols as renewable resources.

The insertion of carbonyl into C(sp2)−Pd(II) σ‐bond (Grignard‐type addition) was not established until the 1990s. While this elemental reaction has been well explored since then, its application in Pd(0) asymmetric catalysis remain elusive. Herein, we report the Pd(0)‐catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular Grignard‐type reaction of vinyl iodide‐carbonyl in the presence of HCO2H additive, affording cyclic allylic alcohol with good to excellent enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggested that besides serving as an efficient reductant, HCO2H is also capable of facilitating protonation of the involved secondary alkoxyl‐Pd(II), thus completely suppressing the β‐H elimination. Moreover, no KIE was found in the competing reaction between vinyl iodide‐aldehyde and 1‐deuterated one, demonstrating the facile step of aldehyde insertion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While treatment of 3‐(6‐methyl‐2‐pyridyl)indene with Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 gave a product {η5‐(CH3C5H3N‐C9H6)}RuCl(PPh3)2 (3); 1 could further react with NaBArF4 to produce a cationic complex [{η5,κ1P‐(C5H4N‐C9H5‐C6H4PPh2)}Ru(PPh3)][BArF4] (15). When treated with NaOMe in methanol, 1 was converted into [{η5,κ1P‐(C5H4N‐C9H5‐C6H4PPh2)}RuH(PPh3)] (16). These five complexes were investigated as catalysts for redox isomerization of allylic alcohols, and 16 exhibited best catalytic activity in the presence of tBuOK, reaching quantitative yield in 5 min when α‐vinylbenzyl alcohol was used as the substrate, requiring catalyst loading of 1 mol%.

Sterols are ubiquitous membrane constituents that persist to a large extent in the environment due to their water insolubility and chemical inertness. Recently, an oxygenase-independent sterol degradation pathway was discovered in a cholesterolgrown denitrifying bacterium Sterolibacterium (S.) denitrificans. It achieves hydroxylation of the unactivated primary C26 of the isoprenoid side chain to an allylic alcohol via a phosphorylated intermediate in a four-step ATP-dependent enzyme cascade. However, this pathway is incompatible with the degradation of widely distributed steroids containing a double bond at C22 in the isoprenoid side chain such as the plant sterol stigmasterol. Here, we have enriched a prototypical delta-24 desaturase from S. denitrificans, which catalyzes the electron acceptor-dependent oxidation of the intermediate stigmast-1,4-diene-3-one to a conjugated (22,24)-diene. We suggest an α4β4 architecture of the 440 kDa enzyme, with each subunit covalently binding an flavin mononucleotide cofactor to a histidyl residue. As isolated, both flavins are present as red semiquinone radicals, which can be reduced by stigmast-1,4- diene-3-one but cannot be oxidized even with strong oxidizing agents. We propose a mechanism involving an allylic radical intermediate in which two flavin semiquinones each abstract one hydrogen atom from the substrate. The conjugated delta-22,24 moiety formed allows for the subsequent hydroxylation of the terminal C26 with water by a heterologously produced molybdenum-dependent steroid C26 dehydrogenase 2. In conclusion, the pathway elucidated for delta-22 steroids achieves oxygen-independent hydroxylation of the isoprenoid side chain by bypassing the ATP-dependent formation of a phosphorylated intermediate.

Background: The fish embryo acute toxicity (FET) test with the zebrafish (Danio rerio) was developed to assess the acute fish toxicity of chemicals or environmental samples as a replacement for the Acute Fish Test (AFT) with juvenile fish. However, the FET is not yet established in the regulatory context. One reason is the (postulated) difference between the biotransformation capacities of embryos and juvenile fish. The present study was designed to develop a procedure for external metabolization of test substances prior to testing in the FET. The workflow allows simultaneous exposure of the embryos to the maternal substances and their potential metabolites throughout the entire exposure period. After a 2 h incubation of the samples at 37 °C with non-toxic concentrations of a rat liver S9 homogenate or an animal-free (ewoS9R) metabolization system, freshly fertilized zebrafish embryos are added and incubated up to 120 h post-fertilization at 26 °C. Five biotransformable model substances (allyl alcohol, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), chlorpyrifos (CP), tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCPP) and bisphenol A (BPA)) were evaluated for embryotoxicity with and without external metabolization. Results: Only for allyl alcohol, external metabolization with both rat S9 and ewoS9R resulted in significantly higher embryotoxicity than under non-premetabolized conditions and, thus, in a better correlation of FET and AFT data. For B[a]P, CP, TDCPP and BPA, there was no relevant difference between data derived from the FET (with and without pre-metabolization) and literature AFT data; even though the FET results with and without pre-metabolization differed significantly for BPA (with rat S9 and ewoS9R) and TDCPP (rat S9 only). Conclusions: External pre-metabolization appears a promising add-on to the FET protocol to improve the correlation with AFT data of certain biotransformable substances and might help to strengthen the FET as an alternative to the AFT and finally to reduce or replace sentient animals used for acute fish toxicity data in the regulatory context.

Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-substituted α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of chiral α-substituted secondary alcohols with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >99 : 1 dr, 98% ee). Mechanistic experiments suggest that the reaction proceeds via a Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of the C=O bond in concert with a base-promoted allylic alcohol isomerization, and the final stereoselectivities were controlled by a DKR process during the asymmetric hydrogenation of the ketone intermediate.

Radical difunctionalization of aliphatic alkynes provides direct access to valuable multi‐substituted alkenes, but achieving a high level of chemo‐ and stereo‐control remains a formidable challenge. Herein a novel photoredox neutral alkyne di‐functionalization is reported through functional group migration followed by a radical‐polar crossover and energy transfer‐enabled stereoconvergent isomerization of alkenes. In this sequence, a hydroxyalkyl and an aryl group are incorporated concomitantly into an alkyne, leading to diversely functionalized E‐allyl alcohols. The scope of alkynes is noteworthy, and the reaction tolerates aliphatic alkynes containing hydrogen donating C─H bonds that are prone to intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer. The protocol features broad functional group compatibility, high product diversity, and exclusive chemo‐ and stereoselectivity, thus providing a practical strategy for the elusive radical di‐functionalization of unactivated alkynes.

A library of regioisomeric monoterpene-based aminodiols was synthesised and applied as chiral catalysts in the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The synthesis of the first type of aminodiols was achieved starting from (−)-8,9-dihydroperillaldehyde via reductive amination, followed by Boc protection and dihydroxylation with the OsO4/NMO system. Separation of formed stereoisomers resulted in a library of aminodiol diastereoisomers. The library of regioisomeric analogues was obtained starting from (−)-8,9-dihydroperillic alcohol, which was transformed into a mixture of allylic trichloroacetamides via Overman rearrangement. Changing the protecting group to a Boc function, the protected enamines were subjected to dihydroxylation with the OsO4/NMO system, leading to a 71:16:13 mixture of diastereoisomers, which were separated, affording the three isomers in isolated form. The obtained primary aminodiols were transformed into secondary derivatives. The regioselectivity of the ring closure of the N-benzyl-substituted aminodiols with formaldehyde was also investigated, resulting in 1,3-oxazines in an exclusive manner. To explain the stability difference between diastereoisomeric 1,3-oxazines, a series of comparative theoretical modelling studies was carried out. The obtained potential catalysts were applied in the reaction of aromatic aldehydes and diethylzinc with moderate to good enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee), whereas the opposite chiral selectivity was observed between secondary aminodiols and their ring-closed 1,3-oxazine analogues.

A Pd-catalyzed regioselective hydroarylation of terminal alkynes containing a heteroatom has been developed via carbopalladation for the synthesis of allylic ethers, amines, and homoallylic alcohols. Moreover, hydroalkenylation of alkynes produces a variety of stereodefined 1,4-dienes with high regioselectivity. The important features of the present protocol are that it is highly regioselective, operationally rapid, and scalable with a huge substrate scope using only 3 mol% of PdCl2(PPh3)2 catalyst in the presence of a mild base KOAc.

With allyl compounds being a valuable chemical commodity, it is important to understand the sustainability aspects of the Tsuji-Trost reaction in terms of productivity (reactivity-coupled utility), environmental impact (including health hazards), and economic burden and benefits of commercially available allylic precursors under varying conditions. However, comprehensive literature searches reveal that no such study is publicly accessible; the majority of the literature focuses only on the synthetic utility of a few allylic precursors. In this context, we undertook a study for sustainability assessment of 26 allyl precursors (with diverse ionisable partners) by simulating an allylic amination reaction in an alternative reaction medium, water (vs. an organic solvent, OS), under Earth-abundant nickel (vs. traditional palladium) catalysis. The study was accomplished through: (1) conducting reactivity-utility profiling of allylic precursors; (2) identifying the major side reactions occurring with allylic precursors (water vs. OS); and (3) determining green metrics (E-factor, atom economy, atom efficiency, RME, and EcoScale) of the amination process linked with allylic precursors. The key highlights of the study include the following: (a) water is as diverse as an organic solvent in facilitating the Tsuji-Trost allylic amination; (b) diverse allylic precursors could be employed in water as well as in an organic solvent to realize allylic amination; (c) nickel catalysis is a viable alternative to palladium for allylic amination with distinct superiority in the water medium while using an allyl alcohol and allyl amine (trans-N-allylation). Further advancing sustainability and catalysis, we demonstrated for the first time a fully catalytic 'in-water' allylic amination reaction using an allylic alcohol and a Ni(II)-catalyst with features like scale-up synthesis (up to 10 g), catalytic usage of a reductant, etc. The authors propose this work as a sustainability guide to steer further research and developments in academia and industry related to allylation chemistries.

A visible‐light‐induced iron‐catalyzed α‐alkylation of ketones with allylic and propargylic alcohols as pro‐electrophiles is reported. The diaminocyclopentadienone iron tricarbonyl complex plays a dual role by harvesting light and facilitating dehydrogenation and reduction steps without the help of any exogenous photosensitizer. γ,δ‐Unsaturated ketones can now be accessed through this borrowing hydrogen methodology at room temperature. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the steric hindrance on the δ‐position of either the dienone or ene‐ynone intermediate is the key feature to prevent or decrease the competitive 1,6‐reduction (and consequently the formation of the saturated ketone) and to favor the synthesis of a set of non‐conjugated enones and ynones.

The planar-chiral ligands have been widely applied as a class of unique and significant ligands in asymmetric catalysis. Among them, chiral [2.2]paracycyclophane has emerged as a privileged type of planar-chiral framework and has been utilized as an important toolbox due to their structural stability. Herein, we design and synthesize [2.2]paracyclophane-derived oxazole-pyrimidine ligands (abberviated as PYMCOX). These N,N-ligands with stable properties, rigid structure and large steric hindrance performed successfully in nickel-catalyzed asymmetric 1,2-reduction of a,ß-unsaturated ketones, affording the chiral allylic alcohols with up to 99% yield and 99% ee. Meanwhile, this reduction reaction could be conducted on gram-scale without loss of activity and enantioselectivity, and the chiral ligand could be conveniently recovered with high yield.
