Synergistic Catalysis for Stereodivergent Synthesis of trans- and cis-Skipped Dienes
Synlett DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1707190 Catalytic, stereoselective synthesis of skipped dienes is an important topic in organic synthesis. Summarized here are the transition-metal-catalyzed stereoselective approaches and a new, photoinduced stereodivergent strategy reported by our group recently. Our strategy utilizes a synergistic photoredox/nickel protocol to enable the cross-electrophile coupling of allylic carbonates and vinyl triflates to construct 1,4-dienes, the stereoselectivity of which was tuned by the triplet energy (E
T) photocatalysts employed, offering a convenient and stereodivergent solution to (E)- and (Z)-1,4-dienes from one set of substrates. [...] © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text
