Rhodium-catalyzed oxidative C–H allylation of benzamides with 1,3-dienes by allyl-to-allyl 1,4-Rh(III) migration (2016)
Journal Article
Korkis, S. E., Burns, D. J., & Lam, H. W. (in press). Rhodium-catalyzed oxidative C–H allylation of benzamides with 1,3-dienes by allyl-to-allyl 1,4-Rh(III) migration. Journal of the American Chemical Society, https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.6b06884

The Rh(III)-catalyzed oxidative C–H allylation of N-acetylbenzamides with 1,3-dienes is described. The presence of allylic hydrogens cis- to the less substituted alkene of the 1,3-diene is important for the success of these reactions. With the assist...

Catalytic 1,4-rhodium(III) migration enables 1,3-enynes to function as one-carbon oxidative annulation partners in C-H functionalizations (2014)
Journal Article
Burns, D. J., & Lam, H. W. (2014). Catalytic 1,4-rhodium(III) migration enables 1,3-enynes to function as one-carbon oxidative annulation partners in C-H functionalizations. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 53(37), https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201406072

1,3?Enynes containing allylic hydrogens cis to the alkyne are shown to act as one?carbon partners, rather than two?carbon partners, in various rhodium?catalyzed oxidative annulations. The mechanism of these unexpected transformations is proposed to o...

Synthesis of spirocyclic enones by rhodium-catalyzed dearomatizing oxidative annulation of 2-alkenylphenols with alkynes and enynes (2014)
Journal Article
Kujawa, S., Best, D., Burns, D. J., & Lam, H. W. (2014). Synthesis of spirocyclic enones by rhodium-catalyzed dearomatizing oxidative annulation of 2-alkenylphenols with alkynes and enynes. Chemistry - A European Journal, 20(28), https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201403454

The dearomatizing oxidative annulation of 2-alkenylphenols with alkynes and enynes proceeds with high yields and regioselectivities under Rh(III) catalysis. These reactions are successful using Cu(OAc)2 or air as the stoichiometric oxidant, and provi...
