Abstract:
Olefins are attractive building blocks for organic synthesis. In this talk, I will discuss recent advances in transition-metal-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective functionalization of simple and easily available olefins. First, palladium-catalyzed regiodivergent coupling of aryl halides and prenylmetal species will be introduced. These processes provide a convenient means to access both the prenylated and the reverse prenylated aromatic compounds with high level of regiochemical fidelity. Second, copper-catalyzed asymmetric hydrofunctionalization of olefins will be presented. Through the catalytic generation of enantioenriched organocopper intermediates from olefin precursors, these methods allow for the rapid assembly of biologically important amines and alcohols in a regio- and stereoselective fashion.
