Bandar,† Michael T. Pirnot,† and Stephen L. Buchwald* Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Enantioselective copper(I) hydride (CuH)- catalyzed hydroamination has undergone significant develop- ment over the past several years. To gain a general understanding of the factors governing these reactions, kinetic and spectroscopic studies were performed on the CuH- catalyzed hydroamination of styrene. Reaction profile analysis, rate order assessment, and Hammett studies indicate that the turnover-limiting step is regeneration of the CuH catalyst by reaction with a silane, with a phosphine-ligated copper(I) benzoate as the catalyst resting state. Spectroscopic, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and nonlinear effect studies are consistent with a monomeric active catalyst. With this insight, targeted reagent optimization led to the development of an optimized protocol with an operationally simple setup (ligated copper(II) precatalyst, open to air) and short reaction times (<30 min). This improved protocol is amenable to a diverse range of alkene and alkyne substrate classes. ■ INTRODUCTION Scheme 1. Proposed Catalytic Cycle for CuH-Catalyzed Due to their importance and ubiquity, significant efforts have Hydroamination of Styrene been made toward the construction of enantioenriched amines.1 Hydroamination, the formal addition of a nitrogen and hydrogen atom across a carbon−carbon π-bond, represents a particularly attractive and direct method for appending amino groups onto a molecule.

Academic Editors: Stephen Mansell and Steve Liddle Received: 16 September 2015 / Accepted: 9 October 2015 / Published: 30 October 2015 Abstract: This review article presents the development of organoactinides and actinide coordination complexes as catalysts for homogeneous organic transformations. This chapter introduces the basic principles of actinide catalysis and deals with the historic development of actinide complexes in catalytic processes. The application of organoactinides in homogeneous catalysis is exemplified in the hydroelementation reactions, such as the hydroamination, hydrosilylation, hydroalkoxylation and hydrothiolation of alkynes. Additionally, the use of actinide coordination complexes for the catalytic polymerization of α-olefins and the ring opening polymerization of cyclic esters is presented. The last part of this review article highlights novel catalytic transformations mediated by actinide compounds and gives an outlook to the further potential of this field. Keywords: organoactinides; actinide coordination complexes; homogeneous catalysis; hydroelementations; polymerization of olefins; ROP; activation of heterocumulenes 1. Introduction The beginning of modern organoactinide chemistry is often attributed to the synthesis of 8 uranocene, [(η -C8H8)2U] in 1968, as the analogous compound to ferrocene and other transition metal metallocenes [1,2].

Khrakovsky+,Chuanzhou Tao+,Miles W. Johnson, RichardT.Thornbury, Sophia L. Shevick, and F. Dean Toste* Abstract: The gold-catalyzed enantioselective hydroazidation and hydroamination reactions of allenes are presented herein. ADC gold(I) catalysts derived from BINAM were critical for achieving high levels of enantioselectivity in both transforma- tions.The sense of enantioinduction is reversed for the two different nucleophiles,allowing access to both enantiomers of the corresponding allylic amines using the same catalyst enantiomer. Allylic amines are an important functional motif in synthetic organic chemistry and they have been utilized in the synthesis of numerous biologically active compounds.[1] Closely related Scheme 1. Enantioselective conjugateazidations and hydroazidations. allylic azides are valuable precursors for allylic amines,aswell as for amino acids[2] and amine-containing natural products.[3] Allylic azides have typically been prepared via substitution reactions from the corresponding allylic halides,(homo)- Table 1: Assessment of chiral gold(I) catalysts. allylic alcohols,and their derivatives.[4] More recently,Pd- catalyzed C Hactivation,[5] and Au-catalyzed hydroazidation À of allenes[6] have been employed.
