A closely related method does not require conversion of enantiomers to diastereomers but relies on the fact that (in principle, at least) enantiomers have different NMR spectra in a chiral solvent, or when mixed with a chiral molecule (in which case transient diastereomeric species may form). In such cases, the peaks may be separated enough to permit the proportions of enantiomers to be determined from their intensities. Another variation, which gives better results in many cases, is to use an achiral solvent but with the addition of a chiral lanthanide shift reagent such as tris[3-trifiuoroacetyl-Lanthanide shift reagents have the property of spreading NMR peaks of compounds with which they can form coordination compounds, for examples, alcohols, carbonyl compounds, amines, and so on. Chiral lanthanide shift reagents shift the peaks of the two enantiomers of many such compounds to different extents. 

In either the acid catalysis or the niekel carbonyl (or other metallic catalyst) method, if alcohols, thiols, amines, etc. are used instead of water, the product is the corresponding ester, thiol ester, or amide, instead of the carboxylic acid. 

The activated carbonyl of anhydrides can acylate alcohols or amines at the temperatures necessary for polymer processing. These reactions have been verified by HPLC using the polymer system described in Table 2. An examination of the HPLC chromatograms in Fig. 25 indicates that the phthalic anhydride peak (3.2 min) diminishes with increasing injection-molding temperatures and that two new peaks (4.6 and 6.9 min) increase in intensity. These new peaks corresponded to the half phthalate esters of 1,6-hexanediol and trans-... 

BINAP (40a) was first reported as a ligand in an enantioselective hydrogenation in 1980 [172], and provides good selectivity for the reductions of dehydroamino acid derivatives [173], enamides, allylic alcohols and amines, and a,p-unsaturated acids [4, 9, 11, 12, 174, 175]. The fame of the ligand system really came with the reduction of carbonyl groups with ruthenium as the metal [11, 176]. The Rh-BINAP systems is best known for the enantioselective isomerizations... 

The insertion of carbon monoxide into o-alkylpalladium(II) complexes followed by attack by either alcohols or amines is a powerful acylation method. This carbonylation reaction has been applied in several different ways to the reactions and syntheses of indoles. Hegedus and coworkers converted o-allylanilines to indoline esters 315 in yields up to 75% [293], In most of the examples in this section, CO at atmospheric pressure was employed. 

Abstract The basic principles of the oxidative carbonylation reaction together with its synthetic applications are reviewed. In the first section, an overview of oxidative carbonylation is presented, and the general mechanisms followed by different substrates (alkenes, dienes, allenes, alkynes, ketones, ketenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, amines) leading to a variety of carbonyl compounds are discussed. The second section is focused on processes catalyzed by Pdl2-based systems, and on their ability to promote different kind of oxidative carbonylations under mild conditions to afford important carbonyl derivatives with high selectivity and efficiency. In particular, the recent developments towards the one-step synthesis of new heterocyclic derivatives are described. 

Oxidative carbonylation is not necessarily associated with C - C bond formation. Indeed, heteroatom carbonylation may occur exclusively, as in the oxidative carbonylation of alcohols or phenols to carbonates, of alcohols and amines to carbamates, of aminoalcohols to cyclic carbamates, and of amines to ureas. All these reactions are of particular significance, in view of the possibility to prepare these very important classes of carbonyl compounds through a phosgene-free approach. These carbonylations are usually carried out in the presence of an appropriate oxidant under catalytic conditions (Eqs. 31-33), and in some cases can be promoted not only by transition metals but also by... 

The direct conversion of alcohols and amines into carbamate esters by oxidative carbonylation is also an attractive process from an industrial point of view, since carbamates are useful intermediates for the production of polyurethanes. Many efforts have, therefore, been devoted to the development of efficient catalysts able to operate under relatively mild conditions. The reaction, when applied to amino alcohols, allows a convenient synthesis of cyclic urethanes. Several transition metal complexes, based on Pd [218— 239], Cu [240-242], Au [243,244], Os [245], Rh [237,238,246,247], Co [248], Mn [249], Ru [224,250-252], Pt [238] are able to promote the process. The formation of ureas, oxamates, or oxamides as byproducts can in some cases lower the selectivity towards carbamates. 

Under appropriate conditions, alcohols and amines can undergo an oxidative double carbonylation process, with formation of oxalate esters (Eq. 34), oxamate esters (Eq. 35) or oxamides (Eq. 36). These reactions are usually catalyzed by Pd(II) species and take place trough the intermediate formation of bis(alkoxycarbonyl)palladium, (alkoxycarbonyl)(carbamoyl)palladium or bis(carbamoyl)palladium complexes, as shown in Scheme 29 (NuH, Nu H = alcohol or amine) [227,231,267,293-300]. 

Many such activated acyl derivatives have been developed, and the field has been reviewed [7-9]. The most commonly used irreversible acyl donors are various types of vinyl esters. During the acylation of the enzyme, vinyl alcohols are liberated, which rapidly tautomerize to non-nucleophilic carbonyl compounds (Scheme 4.5). The acyl-enzyme then reacts with the racemic nucleophile (e.g., an alcohol or amine). Many vinyl esters and isopropenyl acetate are commercially available, and others can be made from vinyl and isopropenyl acetate by Lewis acid- or palladium-catalyzed reactions with acids [10-12] or from transition metal-catalyzed additions to acetylenes [13-15]. If ethoxyacetylene is used in such reactions, R1 in the resulting acyl donor will be OEt (Scheme 4.5), and hence the end product from the acyl donor leaving group will be the innocuous ethyl acetate [16]. Other frequently used acylation agents that act as more or less irreversible acyl donors are the easily prepared 2,2,2-trifluoro- and 2,2,2-trichloro-ethyl esters [17-23]. Less frequently used are oxime esters and cyanomethyl ester [7]. S-ethyl thioesters such as the thiooctanoate has also been used, and here the ethanethiol formed is allowed to evaporate to displace the equilibrium [24, 25]. Some anhydrides can also serve as irreversible acyl donors. 

This procedure illustrates a general method for the preparation of rearranged allylic amines from allylic alcohols.2,3 The method is experimentally simple and has been used to prepare a variety of allylic prim-, sec-, and tert-carbonyl amines as illustrated in Table I. The only limitation encountered so far is a competing ionic elimination reaction which becomes important for tri-chloroacetimidic esters of 3-substituted-2-cyclohexen-l-ols.3 4 The rearrangement is formulated as a concerted [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement on the basis of its stereo- and regiospecificity3,5 which are... 

Fischli has used a related reagent, Cob(I)alamine,2 obtained by reduction of vitamin B,2 with zinc and acetic acid, as a catalyst for reduction with zinc and acetic acid of various unsaturated systems such as a,/ -unsaturated nitriles,3 esters,4 and carbonyl compounds,5 allylic alcohols and amines,6 and also isolated double bonds.6... 

The dicarbonyl [12539-66-1] available from 1,10-(N2)2B10H8 is another important species because of the scope ofits chemistry. Carbonyls of P 12 -12] can be formed from CO and the conjugate acid of [B12H12]2 . The B10- and B12-carbonyls exhibit very similar reactivity (99). The carbonyls can be considered anhydrides of carboxylic acids and accordingly react with alcohols and amines-to give esters and amides ... 

Arylazirines are carbonylated by [Rh2Cl2(CO)4] (96) to give isocyanates under mild conditions.462 The reaction can be carried out at normal pressure and at room temperature or below. Vinyl isocyanates are produced (equation 98). By addition of alcohols or amines, carbamates or ureas were obtained. 

Dibromocyclopropanes with vicinal chloromethoxy or mesyloxymethyl substituents undergo [Ni(CO)4]-induced ring opening-carbonylation in the presence of alcohol or amine, leading to y.S-un-saturated carboxylic acid derivatives selectively via intermediate nickel enolates (equation 115).262 Di-... 

Carbonyl compounds and imines are reduced to the corresponding alcohols and amines, respectively, with a mixture of iron(II) chloride tetrahydrate, an excess of lithium powder, and a catalytic amount of 4,4 -di-r-butylbiphcnyl. ,/l-lJnsaturated... 

Reductive -elimination of A3-iodanes on carbon atoms (M = C) produces C-C double bonds, while that on oxygen and nitrogen atoms (M = O and N), combined with the initial ligand exchange reaction, provides a method for oxidation of alcohols and amines to the corresponding carbonyl compounds and imines, respectively [Eq. (26)].
