Unlocking the Alkynyl Bromide Radical Anion With Alternating Current for Inverse Sonogashira C─H Coupling

Carbon–bromine bond cleavage is a fundamental step in many chemical transformations. Over the past two decades, the reductive cleavage of C(Ar)─Br bonds (via a stepwise pathway) and C(alkyl)─Br bonds (via a concerted pathway) has been extensively studied. In contrast, the cleavage of the C(alkynyl)─Br bond remains unre...

A General Route to Silacyclohexanones via Regioselective Copper-Catalyzed Borylative Cyclization.

A copper-catalyzed regioselective borylative cyclization of chloromethyl butenylsilanes with bis(pinacolato)diboron has been reported. The reaction proceeds via an endo-selective cyclization to deliver 4-silacyclohexyl boronates, which undergo a two-step oxidation sequence to afford 4-silacyclohexanones. DFT calculatio...

Ligand-Controlled Stereodivergent Cobalt-Catalyzed Hydroboration of 2,3-Disubstituted 1,3-Dienes to Access E- and Z-Tetrasubstituted Alkenes.

Stereodivergent synthesis to access multiple isomers of polysubstituted alkenes represents an elegant strategy. While significant progress has been made in accessing di- and trisubstituted alkenes, the stereodivergent synthesis of both Z and E isomers of tetrasubstituted alkenes remains limited. Here, we disclose cobal...
