“…Although the yield was decreased using this ligand, it can be increased by conducting the reaction at higher temperature without loss of ee. Addition of catalytic amount of Lewis acid further improved the yield, although the reason for this beneficial effect is not clear currently [16] …”

“…Addition of catalytic amount of Lewis acid further improved the yield, although the reason for this beneficial effect is not clear currently. [16] Next, we sought to identify suitable catalyst to reverse the regioselectivity. Ferrocene based ligand PPF-Cy (L11) and CyPF-Cy (L12) were not effective in the catalytic hydroalkynylation.…”

Iridium‐Catalyzed Regiodivergent and Enantioselective Hydroalkynylation of Unactivated 1,1‐Disubstituted Alkenes

Catalytic enantioselective functionalization of unactivated 1,1‐disubstituted alkenes is challenging due to the difficulty to discriminate the enantiotopic faces. Enantioselective hydrofunctionalization of unactivated 1,1‐disubstituted alkenes with tunable Markovnikov and anti‐Markovnikov selectivity remains elusive. We report here an amide‐directed, regiodivergent and enantioselective hydroalkynylation of unactivated alkenes. The regioselectivity can be readily tuned by the choice of a proper ligand. Catalytic alkynylations occurred with tunable Markovnikov and anti‐Markovnikov selectivity to afford products containing acyclic tertiary or quaternary stereocenters β to an amide. Combining a sequence of alkene isomerization and regioselective hydroalkynylation, we further realized an iridium‐catalyzed formal asymmetric conjugated alkynylation of β,β‐disubstituted α,β‐unsaturated amides. Computational studies suggest that the regioselectivity is dictated by the ligand structures.

“…Beside Pd‐catalyzed reactions, He and co‐workers unlocked the use of Ir III complexes for the sulfinyl directed C−H activation. Optimizing their previous conditions for the C−H amidation of aryl sulfoxides, [28] they achieved the intramolecular coupling of dibenzyl sulfoxides through a double C−H activation (Scheme 5.d) [29] . To obtain the desired seven‐membered thiepine S ‐oxide, the reductive elimination step needed to be promoted by the addition of a Lewis acid such as silver salts.…”

“…Intramolecular cyclization involving sulfoxide-directed single or double CÀ H activation of arenes. [25][26][27]29] Antonchick's conditions allowed a double CÀ H oxidative cyclization leading to sulfoxide-bridged polycycles (Scheme 5.c, n = 0). [27] Moreover, the method could be extended to the preparation of six-and seven-membered rings from benzyl or arylethyl sulfoxides, respectively, avoiding the abovementioned Pummerer cascade rearrangement (Scheme 5.c, n = 1,2).…”

The transition‐metal catalyzed C‐H activation of arenes directed by sulfoxides represents a compelling strategy in organic synthesis, owing to its exceptional regioselectivity and high efficiency. This innovative approach stands out for its traceless character, enabling the direct functionalization of arenes, before the easy removal or conversion of the key sulfinyl moiety. Beyond their utility as a directing group, sulfoxides have proved particularly valuable to mediate as chiral auxiliaries, presenting exciting prospects for the synthesis of stereo‐enriched compounds upon C‐H functionalization. The versatility demonstrated by the method paves the way to different structures with potential applications ranging from medicinal chemistry to organic electronic.
