Journal ArticleDOI
Rational design and atroposelective synthesis of N–N axially chiral compounds
Guang-Jian Mei,Guang-Jian Mei,Jonathan J. Wong,Wenrui Zheng,Anjanay A. Nangia,Kendall N. Houk,Yixin Lu +6 more
TL;DR: The first catalytic asymmetric synthesis of N–N axially chiral compounds has been accomplished via a quinidine catalyzed N-allylic alkylation reaction via DFT calculations to understand the origin of enantioselectivity and provide guidance for the design of additional molecules of this type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient Z-Selective Olefin-Acrylamide Cross-Metathesis Enabled by Sterically Demanding Cyclometalated Ruthenium Catalysts.
Yan Xu,Jonathan J. Wong,Adrian E. Samkian,Jeong Hoon Ko,Shuming Chen,Kendall N. Houk,Robert H. Grubbs +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an efficient Z-selective cross-metathesis between acrylamides and common terminal olefins was developed by the use of novel cyclometalated ruthenium catalysts with bulky N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal-Free Directed C-H Borylation of Pyrroles.
Zheng-Jun Wang,Xiangyang Chen,Lei Wu,Jonathan J. Wong,Yong Liang,Yue Zhao,Kendall N. Houk,Zhuangzhi Shi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general strategy for the site-selective C-H borylation of pyrroles by using only BBr 3 directed by pivaloyl groups was developed, avoiding the use of any metal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorus(III)-assisted regioselective C-H silylation of heteroarenes.
Dingyi Wang,Xiangyang Chen,Jonathan J. Wong,Liqun Jin,Mingjie Li,Yue Zhao,K. N. Houk,Zhuangzhi Shi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general strategy for the regioselective C7-H silylation of indole derivatives is presented, which is determined by strong coordination of the palladium catalyst with phosphorus (III) directing group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular editing of aza-arene C–H bonds by distance, geometry and chirality
Zhoulong Fan,Xiangyang Chen,Keita Tanaka,Han Seul Park,Nelson Y. S. Lam,Jonathan J. Wong,K. N. Houk,Jin-Quan Yu +7 more
TL;DR: A unified late-stage ‘molecular editing’ strategy to directly modify bicyclic aza-arenes at any given site in different orders is established in combination with previously reported complementary methods.
