Under the conditions of ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation employing 2-propanol as the terminal reductant, 1,1-disubstituted allenes 1a- h engage in reductive coupling to paraformaldehyde to furnish homoallylic alcohols 2a- h. Under identical transfer hydrogenation conditions, 1,1-disubstituted allenes engage in reductive coupling to aldehydes 3a- f to furnish homoallylic alcohols 4a- n. In all cases, reductive coupling occurs with branched regioselectivity to deliver homoallylic alcohols bearing all-carbon quaternary centers.
在以2-丙醇作为末端还原剂的钌催化转移氢化条件下,1,1-二取代丙二烯1a - h与多聚甲醛进行还原偶联反应,生成高烯丙醇2a - h。在相同的转移氢化条件下,1,1-二取代丙二烯与醛3a - f进行还原偶联反应,生成高烯丙醇4a - n。在所有情况下,还原偶联反应均以支链区域选择性进行,生成带有全碳季碳中心的高烯丙醇。
