Abstract:
A full overview on the use of chiral phosphine-olefin ligands 1 in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is described. Effective chiral environment of a Rh/1 complex was shown to resemble that of a Rh/(R,R)-Ph-bod* complex by comparing the experimental results as well as the X-ray crystal structures. High catalytic activity of a Rh/1 complex was disclosed and the catalytic cycle involving a trimer-monomer equilibrium was established through mechanistic studies using a reaction calorimeter and (31)P NMR spectroscopy. A negative nonlinear effect derived from an inactive trimer-active monomer equilibrium of the catalyst was also successfully observed.

Acid-Catalyzed α-Halogenation of Aldehydes and Ketones
In the first step of the mechanism, the acid protonates the carbonyl oxygen resulting in a resonance-stabilized cation, which subsequently loses an α-hydrogen to form an enol tautomer. The C=C bond in an enol is highly nucleophilic because of the electron-donating nature of the –OH group. Consequently, the double bond attacks an electrophilic halogen to form a...

Conjugate Addition (1,4-Addition) vs Direct Addition (1,2-Addition)
Conjugate addition results in a thermodynamically stable product. The reaction retains the stronger C=O bond at the expense of the weaker C=C π bond. The process is slow as the β carbon is less electrophilic than the carbonyl carbon.
Direct addition products are formed faster owing to...
