Mechanistic Investigations of the Rhodium Catalyzed Propargylic CH Activation

TL;DR: The findings show that in contrast to the originally proposed mechanism, the catalytic cycle involves an intramolecular protonation and not an oxidative insertion of rhodium in the OH bond of the carboxylic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enantioselective redox-neutral Rh-catalyzed coupling of terminal alkynes with carboxylic acids toward branched allylic esters.
TL;DR: The first enantioselective variant of the atom-economic and redox-neutral coupling of carboxylic acids with terminal alkynes under rhodium catalysis utilizing the chiral, bidentate (R,R)-Cp-DIOP ligand is reported, representing the first example of this convenient asymmetric access to valuable branched allylic esters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhodium‐Catalyzed Chemo‐, Regio‐, and Enantioselective Addition of 2‐Pyridones to Terminal Allenes
TL;DR: Preliminary mechanistic studies support the hypothesis that the reaction was initiated from the more acidic 2-hydroxypyridine form, and the initial kinetic O-allylation product was finally converted into the thermodynamically more stable N-allyl 2-pyridones.
