Cyclic 1,2-Diketones as Core Building Blocks: A Strategy for the Total Synthesis of (-)-Terpestacin was written by Trost, Barry M.;Dong, Guangbin;Vance, Jennifer A.. And the article was included in Chemistry – A European Journal in 2010.Computed Properties of C52H44N2O2P2 This article mentions the following:

The sesterterpene (-)-terpestacin I is prepared using the stereoselective and enantioselective O-alkylation of diosphenols with allylic epoxides in the presence of a nonracemic diphosphine palladium catalyst and the subsequent stereoselective Claisen rearrangement to a nonracemic diosphenol with a quaternary stereocenter as the key steps. For example, reaction of 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one with 2-vinyl-2-methyloxirane (isoprene oxide) in the presence of tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium chloroform solvate and nonracemic Trost ligand II and tetrabutylammonium chloride followed by silylation yields the nonracemic tertiary allylic enol ether III (TIPS = triisopropylsilyl) in 93-95% yield and 88-96% ee; thermal rearrangement of III in chloroform (with adventitious HCl presumably as a catalyst) yields the substituted nonracemic diosphenol IV in 82-93% yield with 4-5:1 E:Z stereoselectivity. The palladium-catalyzed asym. allylic alkylation reaction of an allylic carbonate is used to generate the pendant hydroxypropyl moiety of I. Using this methodol., I is prepared in 20 steps (longest linear sequence) from com. available 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one.

Facile synthesis of high optically active helical polymers from achiral monomers still remains a great challenge. In this work, two chiral Ni(II) catalysts bearing chiral R- or S-2a ligands were facilely prepared which can efficiently initiate the living/controlled polymerization of allene monomers and afford well-defined polyallenes in high yields with controlled mol. masses (Mns) and low mol. mass distributions (Mw/Mns). The catalysts showed interesting regioselectivity on the cumulated double bonds of allene monomers, as the polymerizations were highly selective which occurred on 2,3-double bonds. Moreover, the polymerization of achiral allene monomers using chiral Ni(II) catalysts showed remarkable helix-sense selectivity. The yielded polyallenes exhibited high optical activity due to the formation of a predominant one-handed helix as revealed by CD, UV-vis, and direct at. force microscopy (AFM) observations as well. The predominant one-handed helicity of the generated polyallenes was solely determined by the chirality of the Ni(II) catalysts.

Geminal Dicarboxylates as Carbonyl Surrogates for Asymmetric Synthesis. Part I. Asymmetric Addition of Malonate Nucleophiles was written by Trost, Barry M.;Lee, Chul Bom. And the article was included in Journal of the American Chemical Society in 2001.HPLC of Formula: 174810-09-4 This article mentions the following:

Asym. alkylations of allylic geminal dicarboxylates with dialkyl malonates have been investigated. The requisite allylic geminal dicarboxylates are prepared in good yields and high isomeric purities either by ferric chloride-catalyzed addition of acid anhydrides to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes or by palladium-catalyzed isomerization and addition reactions of propargylic acetates with acetic acid. E.g., treatment of trans-cinnamaldehyde with 5 equivalent in the presence of 0.5% iron (III) chloride gave (E)-PhCH:CHCH(OAc)2 in 85% yield. E.g., treatment of (S)-MeCH[OSi(Ph)2CMe3]CCCH2OAc with 1.2 equivalent acetic acid and 1 mol% tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium in toluene at 110° gave (E,S)-MeCH[OSi(Ph)2CMe3]CH:CCHCH(OAc)2 in 81% yield. The complex of di(allylchloropalladium) and nonracemic ligands derived from di(2-diphenylphosphinobenzoyl) amides of trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane most efficiently catalyzed the asym. process to provide allylic carboxylate esters with high ee. E.g., sodium hydride was added to a solution of di-Me 2-methylmalonate and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature until gas evolution ceased; di(allylpalladium chloride), the (R,R)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane di(2-diphenylphosphinobenzoyl) amide, and (E)-PhCH:CHCH(OAc)2 were added and the mixture was stirred for 2 h to give (R,E)-PhCH:CHCH(OAc)C(Me)(CO2Me)2 in 92% yield as a single regioisomer in >95% ee. By systematic optimization studies, factors affecting the enantioselectivity of the reaction have been probed. In general, higher ee’s have been achieved with those conditions which facilitate kinetic capture of the incipient π-allylpalladium intermediate. These conditions also proved effective for achieving high regioselectivities. The minor regioisomeric product was formed when reactive substrates or achiral ligands were employed for the reaction, and could be minimized through the use of the chiral ligand. Under the established conditions, the alkylation of various gem-dicarboxylates afforded monoalkylated products in high yields with greater than 90% ee. The process constitutes the equivalent of an addition of a stabilized nucleophile to a carbonyl group with high asym. induction.

Cyclobutane rings are important in medicinal chem., yet few enantioselective methods exist to access this scaffold. In particular, cyclobutylboronates are receiving increasing attention in the literature due to the synthetic versatility of alkylboronic esters and the increasing role of boronic acids in drug discovery. Herein, a conjugate borylation of α-alkyl,β-aryl/alkyl cyclobutenones is reported leading to the first synthesis of enantioenriched tertiary cyclobutylboronates. Cyclobutanones with two stereogenic centers are obtained in good to high yield, with high enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. Vital to this advance are the development of a novel approach to α,β unsym. disubstituted cyclobutenone substrates and the use of a high-throughput chiral ligand screening platform. The synthetic utility of both the boronic ester and ketone functionalities is displayed, with remarkable chemoselectivity for either group being possible in this small ring scaffold.

Initial efforts focused on the chromium complex 5. Pd0 catalysts with dimethoxyethane as the solvent and LiBH4 or NaBH3CN as a hydride source worked best. Nineteen chiral bidentate phosphorus ligands were screened in this reaction. Asym. induction was low to modest with product ee’s in the range of 4 to 52 % and yields of 6 of up to 70 %. Chiral phosphoramidite ligands proved superior and a bulky ligand derived from a Whitesell amine and 3,3′-diphenyl-binaphthol afforded 6 with an ee of 97%. The high enantioselectivity is largely due to the initial desymmetrization reaction though kinetic resolution also plays an important role as shown by the determination of a selectivity factor s = 8.5 at -10°. Initially high ligand loadings (4 equivalent/Pd) were necessary to achieve good asym. induction. This could be traced to the trapping of the chiral ligand by borane formed in the reaction. Addition of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) suppressed this, and its addition led to the use of Pd and chiral ligand in a 1:1.2 ratio. Asym. hydrogenolysis of cationic dibromonaphthalene and neutral dibromoindenyl complexes of Ru cyclopentadienyl complexes was investigated and afforded the following results: [RuCp(5-bromonaphthalene)][PF6] (39a; 75%, 90% ee), [RuCp*(5-bromonaphthalene)][PF6] (39b; 88%, 99% ee), [RuCp(4-bromoindenyl)] (44a; 72%, 96% ee), and [RuCp*(4-bromoindenyl)] (44b; 62%, 68% ee).
