Mo−Au Combo Catalysis for Rapid 1,3-Rearrangement of Propargyl Alcohols into α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

The combination of Mo and cationic Au catalysts dramatically accelerated the rearrangement of diverse propargyl alcohols, which includes a short reaction time, mild conditions, and high product yields. A practical application to the highly challenging primary propargyl alcohols and the N-alkynyl amides is achieved

One-Pot Synthesis of Optically Active Allyl Esters via Lipase−Vanadium Combo Catalysis

The combination of vanadium-oxo compounds (3 or 4) with a lipase produced the regio- and enantioconvergent transformation of racemic allyl alcohols (1 or 2) into optically active allyl esters. In this system, the vanadium compounds catalyzed the continuous racemization of the alcohols along with the transposition of the hydroxyl group, while the lipase effected the chemo- and enantioselective esterification to achieve the dynamic kinetic resolution
