Iridium-catalyzed selective N-allylation of hydrazines

A highly chemo- and regioselective iridium-catalyzed allylic amination is described.

Iridium-catalyzed borylation of thiophenes: versatile, synthetic elaboration founded on selective C-H functionalization

Iridium-catalyzed borylation has been applied to various substituted thiophenes to synthesize poly-functionalized thiophenes in good to excellent yields. Apart from common functionalities compatible with iridium-catalyzed borylations, additional functional group tolerance to acyl (COMe) and trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups was also observed. High regioselectivities were observed in borylation of 3- and 2,5-di-substituted thiophenes. Electrophilic aromatic C-H/C-Si bromination on thiophene boronate esters is shown to take place without breaking the C-B bond, and one-pot C-H borylation/Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling has been accomplished on 2- and 3-borylated thiophenes.

A facile synthetic procedure for chiral tryptophan derivatives using Negishi cross-coupling reaction of serine-derived iodoalanine with 3-haloindole is described. The best result was obtained when the reaction of N-tosyl-3-bromoindole with N-Cbz-iodoalanine methyl ester was carried out by the combination of Pd₂(dba)₃ and sterically hindered ferrocenyl ligand Q-PHOS.

This reaction was extended to the synthesis of various tryptophan derivatives having substituents on the benzene ring. The characteristic of this reaction is the practical biomimetic synthesis of chiral tryptophan derivatives in one-step.
