Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a mild, efficient, and general direct C(sp2)-H bond silylation of terminal olefins. Various embodiments includes methods, each method comprising or consisting essentially of contacting at least one organic substrate comprising a terminal olefinic C—H bond, with a mixture of at least one organosilane, organosilane, or mixture thereof and an alkali metal alkoxide or alkali metal hydroxide, such that the contacting results in the formation of a silylated olefinic product. The systems associated with these methods are also disclosed.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods for intermolecular enantioselective C-acylation of lactams with quaternary stereogenic centers by applying a chiral Ni catalyst. The methods comprise treating a lactam with a chiral Ni catalyst, an aryl nitrile, and an aryl halide.
Abstract:
This invention provides enantioenriched Mannich adducts with quaternary stereogenic centers and novel methods of preparing the compounds. Methods include the method for the preparation of a compound of formula (I): comprising treating a compound of formula (II): with a transition metal catalyst under alkylation conditions.
