Diastereoselective Ce(III)-Catalyzed Pinacol Couplings of Aldehydes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes were converted into the corresponding pinacoles by using different cerium catalysts. Ce(OtBu)3 proved to be superior over other cerium(III) catalysts. Especially the highly diastereoselective pinacol coupling of sterically non demanding aldehydes such as hexanal is remarkable.

Influence of chelating silyl scavengers on the diastereoselectivity of chromium catalyzed pinacol cross couplings
The choice of the silyl scavenger shows a substantial influence on the diastereoselectivity of the chromium catalyzed pinacol cross coupling. In the case of the intramolecular cyclization, two competing effects are observed. If the silylation reagents contain chelating heteroatoms in the side chain, a remarkable trans-selectivity is observed. Conversely the cis-diols are preferred if bulky subs...

متن کاملNickel-Catalyzed Double Bond Transposition of Alkenyl Boronates for in Situ syn-Selective Allylboration Reactions.
The transposition of a homoallyl pinacol boronic ester was realized by a highly reactive nickel-catalyst system comprising NiCl2(dppp), zinc powder, ZnI2, and Ph2PH. The in situ generated Z-crotyl pinacol boronic esters were reacted with various aldehydes to form syn-homoallylic alcohols in high diastereoselectivities. The present nickel-catalyzed reaction is complementary to the iridium-cataly...
متن کاملA highly diastereoselective pinacol coupling reaction of aldehydes and ketones using low-valence niobium generated from Nb(V).
A simple method for the diastereoselective synthesis of racemic 1,2-diol mediated by low-valence niobium generated in situ is described. A 1,4-dioxane-toluene solvent system was found to be essential to achieve higher selectivities and to prevent other reactions of pinacols, such as deoxygenation and acetal formation. Aromatic aldehydes and ketones were converted to the corresponding pinacols w...
متن کاملTandem Prins/pinacol reaction for the synthesis of oxaspiro[4.5]decan-1-one scaffolds.
A novel Lewis acid catalyzed Prins/pinacol cascade process has been developed for the synthesis of 7-substituted-8-oxaspiro[4.5]decan-1-ones in good yields with excellent selectivity. This is the first example of the synthesis of oxaspirocycles from aldehydes and 1-(4-hydroxybut-1-en-2-yl)cyclobutanol through a cascade of Prins/pinacol rearrangement. This method is applicable to a wide range of...
