Abstract
Abstract Herein, a directing group and ligand-free cobalt-catalyzed alkene dialkylation with various alkyl halides and alkylzinc pivalates is reported. This method is distinguished by its broad scope, synthetic simplicity, and excellent regio- and chemoselectivities, thus providing a modular platform for the rapid synthesis of C(sp3)-rich carbogenic skeletons via 2-fold C(sp3)–C(sp3)/C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond formation. Moreover, the controllable transformations with those polyhaloalkanes, such as simple C1 synthons of CF2Br2, CCl4, or CBr4, as well as their derivatives are of special interest, which should find potential applications in both synthetic and medicinal chemistry.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
