Abstract:
The allylation, crotylation and prenylation of aldehydes and ketones with stable and easily handled allylic carbonates is promoted by a Ti/Pd catalytic system. This Ti/Pd bimetallic system is especially convenient for the allylation of ketones, which are infrequent substrates in other related protocols, and can be carried out intramolecularly to yield five- and six-membered cyclic products with good stereoselectivities. In addition, Ti/Pd-mediated reductions and Würtz-type dimerisation reactions can be readily carried out from allyl carbonates and carboxylates.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
