Recent Literature


Lithiated allylic phosphonates undergo efficient olefination reactions with a variety of aldehydes in the presence of HMPA to give terminal 1,3-dienes with high selectivity for the E-isomer. This method is general and procedurally simple.

Cross metathesis of terminal alkenes with methyl (2Z,4E)-hexadienoate  and related dienyl esters promoted by the standard second-generation Grubbs-Hoveyda catalyst provides substituted (2Z,4E)-dienyl esters in good yields. A fluorous catalyst is used for separation and recovery in gram-scale reactions.

A gold(I)-catalyzed rearrangement of diversely substituted allenyl carbinol esters allows the efficient, rapid, and stereoselective synthesis of various functionalized 1,3-butadien-2-ol esters via a new 1,3-shift of an ester moiety onto a gold-activated allene.

Deprotonation of 3,3,3-trichloropropyl-1-triphenylphosphonium chloride generates the corresponding phosphorane, which reacts with aldehydes to give trichloromethylated (Z)-olefins, which are useful for the synthesis of (Z)-1,3-enynes, (Z,Z)-1-chloro-1,3-dienes, and 1,3-diynes in high yields and stereospecificities.
