โœฆ Synopsis


An approach has been developed to determine the regioselectivity of hydrometalation in homogeneous and heterogeneous hydrogenation of alkenes. By studying the electronic effects on the orientation of hydrometalation it is found with palladium and rhodium that this key step is a two electron process that can occur by two modes (a Pd 8+-H 8-or b Pd ~'-Hf~+). This provides valuable information about the structure of the metal-alkyl intermediate and helps rationalise how chiral induction occurs.

The 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrocoumarin 1 is a critical intermediate in the synthesis of two endothelin receptor antagonists. Asymmetry is introduced by the chiral catalytic hydrogenation of 2. Reduction occurs only if the lactone is open (3). A number of chiral ruthenium and rhodium organometallic species a
