Abstract
CO2-assisted and Ni-catalyzed direct reductive allylation of aldehydes utilizing allylic alcohols as allylic precursor has been reported. Various homoallyl alcohols could be synthesized in excellent yield with enhanced regioselectivity and stereoselectivity for alkyl- and aryl-substituted aldehydes under mild conditions. For different substrates, proper collocation of the catalytic precursor and ligand is crucial. Preliminary mechanistic studies supported the reaction pathway through a sequential allyl hydrocarbonate formation/allylnickelation/coordination insertion process by the Ni(I)/Ni(III) catalytic cycle, which has been proven by cyclic voltammetry analysis.
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.
