TL;DR: Generation of a more vanadium catalyst by ligand design and by addition of an exogenous Brønsted or Lewis acid was found to be key to coupling the more oxidatively resistant phenols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enantioselective Vanadium-Catalyzed Oxidative Coupling: Development and Mechanistic Insights.
Houng Kang,Madison R. Herling,Kyle A. Niederer,Young Eun Lee,Peddiahgari Vasu Govardhana Reddy,Sangeeta Dey,Scott E. Allen,Paul Sung,Kirsten Hewitt,Carilyn Torruellas,Gina J. Kim,Marisa C. Kozlowski +11 more
TL;DR: Experimental and quantum mechanical studies of the mechanism indicate that the additives aggregate the vanadium monomers, and a singlet to triplet crossover is implicated prior to carbon-carbon bond formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total Synthesis of Chaetoglobin A via Catalytic, Atroposelective Oxidative Phenol Coupling
TL;DR: The first total synthesis of chaetoglobin A, which features a chiral axis between two identical highly oxygenated bicyclic cores, was successfully completed in 12 steps from 2,6-dimethoxytoluene.
