Quality Control of 2-(Benzyloxy)acetaldehydeIn 2020 ,《Ruthenium-Catalyzed Intermolecular Coupling of Vinylic 1,2-Bisboronates with Alkynes: Stereoselective Access to Boryl-Substituted Homoallylic Alcohols》 was published in Journal of the American Chemical Society. The article was written by Trost, Barry M.; Zhang, Guoting. The article contains the following contents:
The ruthenium catalytic addition of alkenes to alkynes has been demonstrated as a powerful synthetic tool to form diene motifs and widely applied in the synthesis of complex mols. However, except for the intramol. coupling, trisubstituted alkenes are unsatisfactory coupling partners with alkynes, presumably due to the increased steric hindrance. Herein, it is discovered that substituted vinyl 1,2-bisboronate derivatives can serve as the trisubstituted alkene equivalent to couple with alkynes, generating various boryl-substituted homoallylic alc. motifs with good stereoselectivity through the sequential allylboration with aldehydes. In contrast to carbon substituents on the double bond, boron substituents accelerate the alkyne coupling. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 2-(Benzyloxy)acetaldehyde(cas: 60656-87-3Quality Control of 2-(Benzyloxy)acetaldehyde)
2-(Benzyloxy)acetaldehyde(cas: 60656-87-3) is a non-natural aldehyde. It undergoes enantioselective Mukaiyama aldol reaction with silylketene acetal nucleophiles in the presence of C2-symmetric bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine Cu(II) complex (catalyst).Quality Control of 2-(Benzyloxy)acetaldehyde
