Abstract:
A Pd(OAc)2/P(OPh)3 combination catalyzed Tsuji-Trost-type allylic amination under aerobic conditions. Both aromatic and aliphatic secondary amines were transformed into the corresponding allylic amines with a tiny amount of the catalyst system (typically 0.02 mol % Pd), only when allylic phosphates were employed as electrophiles. Other typical electrophiles, such as allylic acetate and carbonate, were marginally reactive. A Pd(0) complex, Pd[P(OPh)3]3, formed in situ was suggested as an active species by mechanistic experiments.

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...

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
