This paper describes a tunable and stereoselective dual catalytic system that uses copper and palladium reagents. This cooperative silylcupration and palladium-catalyzed allylation readily affords trisubstituted alkenylsilanes. Fine-tuning the reaction conditions allows selective access to one stereoisomer over the other. This new methodology tolerates different substituents on both coupling partners with high levels of stereoselectivity. The one-pot reaction involving a Cu(I)/Pd(0) cooperative dual catalyst directly addresses the need to develop more time-efficient and less-wasteful synthetic pathways.
Allylbenzene derivatives are ubiquitous frameworks in organic chemistry. Herein is described an efficient copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction using vinylsilanes and benzyl bromides, leading to the synthesis of allylbenzenes. This methodology allows the use of cis, trans and 1,1'-disubstituted vinylsilanes as well as a large number of sensitive moieties.
A highly efficient catalytic silylcupration of activated alkynes is reported. Upon reaction with silylboronates and methanol in THF at room temperature in the presence of copper(I) fluoride tris(triphenylphosphine), a range of ynamides and propiolates were found to undergo a smooth silylcupration. This reaction, which tolerates various functional groups, affords a straightforward and efficient entry to the corresponding β-silylenamides and -acrylates, which were formed with high levels of regio- and stereoselectivities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
