Enantio- and diastereoselective construction of vicinal C(sp(3)) centres via nickel-catalysed hydroalkylation of alkenes

In drug discovery, the proportion of aliphatic carbons (C(sp(3))) and the presence of chiral carbons in organic molecules are positively correlated to their chance of clinical success. Although methods exist for the synthesis of chiral C(sp(3))-rich molecu ...

Intermolecular oxidative amination of unactivated alkenes by dual photoredox and copper catalysis

Xile Hu, Xiangli Yi

Oxidative amination of alkenes via amidyl radical addition is potentially an efficient method to generate allylic amines, which are versatile synthetic intermediates to bioactive compounds and organic materials. Here by combining photochemical generation o ...

Enantioselective C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) cross-coupling of non-activated alkyl electrophiles via nickel hydride catalysis

Xile Hu, Runze Mao, Srikrishna Bera

Cross-coupling of two alkyl fragments is an efficient method to produce organic molecules rich in sp(3)-hybridized carbon centres, which are attractive candidate compounds in drug discovery. Enantioselective C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) coupling is challenging, espec ...

Formal Aza-Wacker Cyclization by Tandem Electrochemical Oxidation and Copper Catalysis

Xile Hu, Xiangli Yi

In oxidative electrochemical organic synthesis, radical intermediates are often oxidized to cations on the way to final product formation. Herein, we describe an approach to transform electrochemically generated organic radical intermediates into neutral p ...

In situ tether formation from amines and alcohols enabling highly selective Tsuji-Trost allylation and olefin functionalization

Jérôme Waser, Ugo Jonathan Orcel

The use of tethers allows to overcome reactivity and selectivity issues often encountered with intermolecular reactions. Although tethers have been successfully applied for decades, their installation and removal usually requires additional steps. This min ...

Chemoselective Alkene Hydrosilylation Catalyzed by Nickel Pincer Complexes

Xile Hu, Ivan Buslov, Mickael Montandon-Clerc, Simona Mazza, Jeanne Marine Edith Becouse

Chemoselective hydrosilylation of functionalized alkenes is difficult to achieve using base-metal catalysts. Reported herein is that well-defined bis(amino) amide nickel pincer complexes are efficient catalysts for anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation of termi ...

Atom transfer radical additions with the cationic half-sandwich complex [Cp*Ru(PPh3)(2)(CH3CN)]OTf

Kay Severin, Laurent Quebatte

The cationic ruthenium half-sandwich complex [CpRu(PPh3)(2)(CH3CN)][OTf] (2) (CP = eta(5)-C5Me5, OTf = SO3CF3) was synthesized by reduction of Cp*RuCl2 with zinc in the presence of NaOTf and subsequent reaction with PPh3. When NaOTf was omitted, the ...
