Isomerization of Olefins Triggered by Rhodium-Catalyzed C-H Bond Activation: Control of Endocyclic ?-Hydrogen Elimination.


ABSTRACT: Five-membered metallacycles are typically reluctant to undergo endocyclic ?-hydrogen elimination. The rhodium-catalyzed isomerization of 4-pentenals into 3-pentenals occurs through this elementary step and cleavage of two C-H bonds, as supported by deuterium-labeling studies. The reaction proceeds without decarbonylation, leads to trans olefins exclusively, and tolerates other olefins normally prone to isomerization. Endocyclic ?-hydrogen elimination can also be controlled in an enantiodivergent reaction on a racemic mixture.
