TL;DR: It is demonstrated that using a sacrificial anode material, combined with a cheap, nontoxic, and water-soluble proton source (dimethylurea), and an overcharge protectant inspired by battery technology [tris(pyrrolidino)phosphoramide] can allow for multigram-scale synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant building blocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enantioselective synthesis of chiral sulfones by Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation: a facile approach to the preparation of chiral allylic and homoallylic compounds.
Taigang Zhou,Byron K. Peters,Matias F. Maldonado,Thavendran Govender,Pher G. Andersson,Pher G. Andersson +5 more
TL;DR: A highly efficient and enantioselective Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of unsaturated sulfones of chiral cyclic and acyclic sulfones was developed, offering a novel route to chiral allylic and homoallylic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Enantioselective Approach to the Preparation of Chiral Sulfones by Ir-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation
Byron K. Peters,Taigang Zhou,Janjira Rujirawanich,Alban Cadu,Thishana Singh,Thishana Singh,Wangchuk Rabten,Sutthichat Kerdphon,Pher G. Andersson +8 more
TL;DR: Several chiral sulfonyl compounds were prepared using the iridium catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation reaction, and impressive stereoselectivity was obtained for dialkyl substitutions, which typically are challenging substrates in the hydrogenation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electroreductive Olefin-Ketone Coupling.
Pengfei Hu,Pengfei Hu,Byron K. Peters,Byron K. Peters,Christian A. Malapit,Julien C. Vantourout,Julien C. Vantourout,Pan Wang,Jinjun Li,Lucas Mele,Pierre-Georges Echeverria,Shelley D. Minteer,Phil S. Baran,Phil S. Baran +13 more
TL;DR: A user-friendly approach is presented to sidestep the venerable Grignard addition to unactivated ketones to access tertiary alcohols by reversing the polarity of the disconnection, and a ketone instead acts as a nucleophile when adding to simple unactivated olefins to accomplish the same overall transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Enantioselective Asymmetric Isomerization of Primary Allylic Alcohols with an Iridium–N,P Complex
TL;DR: Highly Enantioselective Asymmetric Isomerization of Primary Allylic Alcohols with an Iridium-N,P Complex and high-performance liquid chromatography for high-throughputatography of Na6(CO3)(SO4)2, Na2SO4 with high purity and high efficiency are reported.
