In this context, Ti offers opportunities that are complementary to late transition metals for reaction discovery. Following foundational work on epoxide reductive functionalization, recent methodological advances have significantly expanded the repertoire of Ti radical chemistry. This Synopsis summarizes recent developments in the burgeoning area of Ti radical catalysis with a focus on innovative catalytic strategies such as radical redox-relay and dual catalysis. 1.

    MAGICAL POWER OF TRANSITION METALS: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2010 by EI-ICHI NEGISHI Herbert C. Brown Laboratories of Chemistry, Purdue University, 560 Oval Drive, West Lafayette, IN 47907-2084, U.S.A. Not long ago, the primary goal of the synthesis of complex natural products and related compounds of biological and medicinal interest was to be able to synthesize them, preferably before anyone else. While this still remains a very important goal, a number of today’s top-notch synthetic chemists must feel and even think that, given ample resources and time, they are capable of synthesizing virtually all natural products and many analogues thereof. Accepting this notion, what would then be the major goals of organic synthesis in the twenty-first century? One thing appears to be unmistakably certain. Namely, we will always need, perhaps increasingly so with time, the uniquely creative field of synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry to prepare both new and existing organic compounds for the benefit and well-being of mankind. It then seems reasonably clear that, in addition to the question of what compounds to synthesize, that of how best to synthesize them will become increasingly important. As some may have said, the primary goal would then shift from aiming to be the first to synthesize a given compound to seeking its ultimately satisfactory or “last synthesis”. If one carefully goes over various aspects of organic synthetic methodology, one would soon note how primitive and limited it had been until rather recently, or perhaps even today. For the sake of argument, we may propose here that the ultimate goal of organic synthesis is “to be able to synthesize any desired and fundamentally synthesizable organic compounds (a) in high yields, (b) efficiently (in as few steps as possible, for example), (c) selectively, preferably all in t98–99% selectivity, (d) economically, and (e) safely, abbreviated hereafter as the y(es)2 manner.” with or without catalyst R1M + R2X R1R2 + MX R1, R2: carbon groups.

The activation of the systems by B(C6F5)3 resulted in the selective formation of head- to-tail alkene dimers in up to 93% yields. NMR studies of the reactions of Zr complexes with organoaluminum compounds (OACs) and boron activators showed the formation of Zr,Zr- and Zr,Al-hydride intermediates, for which diffusion coefficients, hydrodynamic radii, and volumes were estimated using the diffusion ordered spectroscopy DOSY. Bis-zirconium hydride clusters of type x[Cp ZrH ·Cp ZrHCl·ClAlR ]·yRnAl(C F ) − were found to be the key intermediates of alkene 2 2 2 2 6 5 3 n dimerization, whereas cationic Zr,Al-hydrides led to the formation of oligomers.

    Discovery of ZACA Reaction: Zr-Catalyzed Asymmetric

    Issue in Honor of Prof. Usein M. Dzhemilev ARKIVOC 2011 (viii) 34-53 Discovery of ZACA reaction : Zr-catalyzed asymmetric carboalumination of alkenes Ei-ichi Negishi Herbert C. Brown Laboratories of Chemistry, Purdue University, 560 Oval Drive, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907-2084, USA E-mail: [email protected] This paper is dedicated to Professor U. M. Dzhemilev in recognition and appreciation of his pioneering contributions to organometallic chemistry Abstract A single-stage, i.e., degree of polymerization of one, and enantioselective version of the Ziegler- Natta alkene polymerization was envisioned as a potentially significant and useful method for catalytic asymmetric C–C bond formation, shortly after the corresponding alkyne version involving Zr-catalyzed alkylalumination of alkynes was discovered in 1978. However, the discovery of such an asymmetric reaction proved to be a major challenge. At least three widely observable unwanted side reactions, i.e., (1) cyclic carbometalation, (2) β-H transfer hydrometalation, and (3) alkene polymerization, represented by the Ziegler-Natta polymerization, were noted and were to be avoided. With Zr as the metal at the catalytic center, we eventually came up with a notion that di- or multiple alkylation of Zr was to be avoided for achieving superior acyclic asymmetric carbometalation. This, in turn, led us to avoid the use of highly nucleophilic alkylmetals containing alkali metals and Mg. Aluminum used in Ziegler- Natta polymerization that can selectively monoalkylate Zr proved to be one of a very limited number of favorable metals. Even so, undesirable cyclic carbozirconation can occur in nonpolar solvents via intricate bimetallic routes to cyclic organozirconium species.

Peter Abelard, Paris, 1122 Abstract This thesis concerns an investigation into the generation and reactivity of organozinc carbenoids, from both a practical and mechanistic standpoint, using the reductive deoxygenation of carbonyl compounds with zinc and a silicon electrophile. The first introductory chapter is a review of organozinc carbenoids in synthesis. The second chapter opens with an overview of the development of the reductive deoxygenation of carbonyl compounds with zinc and a silicon electrophile since its inception in 1973. The factors influencing the generation of the zinc carbenoid are then investigated using a control reaction, and discussed.

Bridging McMurry and Wittig in One-Pot. Olefins from Stereoselective, Reductive Couplings of Two Aldehydes via Phosphaalkenes. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1755. 112 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0536-3. The formation of C=C bonds is of great importance for fundamental and industrial synthetic organic chemistry. There are many different methodologies for the construction of C=C bonds in the literature, but currently only the McMurry reaction allows the reductive coupling of two carbonyl compounds to form alkenes. This thesis contributes to the field of carbonyl olefinations and presents the development of a new synthetic protocol for a one-pot reductive coupling of two aldehydes to alkenes based on organophosphorus chemistry. The coupling reagent, a phosphanylphosphonate, reacts with an aldehyde to yield a phosphaalkene intermediate which upon activation with a base undergoes an olefination with a second aldehyde. A general overview of synthetic methods for carbonyl olefinations and the chemistry of phosphaalkenes is given in the background chapter.

However, carbon–carbon unsaturated bonds are generally unreactive toward organomagnesium and organozinc reagents. Thus, transition metals were employed to accomplish the carbometalation involving wide varieties of substrates and reagents. Recent advances of transition-metal-catalyzed carbomagnesiation and carbozincation reactions are reviewed in this article. The contents are separated into five sections: carbomagnesiation and carbozincation of (1) alkynes bearing an electron-withdrawing group; (2) alkynes bearing a directing group; (3) strained cyclopropenes; (4) unactivated alkynes or alkenes; and (5) substrates that have two carbon–carbon unsaturated bonds (allenes, dienes, enynes, or diynes). Introduction Whereas direct transformations of unreactive carbon–hydrogen method [1], starting from magnesium or zinc metal and organic or carbon–carbon bonds have been attracting increasing atten- halides [2-7].
