Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric Catalytic Alkylation of Aldehydes with Diethylzinc Using a Chiral Binaphthol-Titanium Complex
Maki Mori,Takeshi Nakai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the asymmetric catalytic alkylation of aldehydes with diethylzinc using (R)-BINOL-Ti(O-i-Pr) 2 complex as an asymmetric precatalyst is shown to afford the corresponding secondary alcohols in a high enantioselectivity (up to 86% ee).
Journal ArticleDOI
CONVENIENT PROCEDURES FOR CONVERSION OF CARBONYL COMPOUNDS TO gem-DIFLUOROOLEFINS AND THEIR SELECTIVE REDUCTIONS TO MONOFLUOROOLEFINS
TL;DR: In this paper, the in situ reaction of dibromodifluoromethane, triphenylphosphine, and aldehydes in the presence of zinc dust affords good yields of gem-difiuoroolefins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric Catalytic Cyanosilylation of Aldehydes Using a Chiral Binaphthol-Titanium Complex
TL;DR: The asymmetric catalytic cyanosilylation of aliphatic aldehydes with Me3SiCN using (R)-BINOL-Ti(O-i-Pr)2 as an asymmetric precatalyst is shown to proceed smoothly in dichloromethane to afford the cyanohydrins in relatively high enantioselectivity (up to 75% ee) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perfluoro-enolate chemistry: facile generation and unique reactivities of metal F-1-propen-2-olates
Cheng-Ping Qian,Takeshi Nakai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, extreme facile methods for generating the metal F -enolates CF 3 C(OM)CF 2 (M=Li, Na, K) from CF 3 CH(OH)CF 3 have been developed, which exhibit a unique spectrum of reactivity including aldol reactivity and the electrophilic reactivity toward organometallic reagents.
