Stereochemistry at carbon upon protonolysis of a late transition metal-alkyl bond: a reaction of relevance to catalytic enantioselective hydrogenation of olefins
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reaction of [Ru((R)-BINAP)(H)(MeCN) n (acetone) 3 n ](BF 4 ) (where n = 03) (2) with 1 equiv of the olefin substrate methyl α-acetamidoacrylate (MAA) in acetone at room temperature immediately generated a mixture (72:28) of two diastereomers of the complex [Ru((R)-BINAP)(MeCN)(MAA(H))](BF 4 ) (3). The olefinhydride insertion reaction between 2 and MAA to generate 3 was regioselective, with transfer of the hydride to the β-olefinic carbon and transfer of ruthenium to the α-carbon in both diastereomers of 3. The two diastereomers of 3 differ by the absolute configuration at the α-carbon of MAA(H) ((S Cα )-3 and (R Cα )-3). The absolute configuration of the major ((S Cα )-3) diastereomer was determined by X-ray diffraction in conjunction with NMR spectroscopic data. Protonolysis of the rutheniumcarbon bond in 3 and in the methyl α-acetamidocinnamate (MAC) analog ([Ru((R)-BINAP)(MeCN)((S)- MAC(H))](BF 4 ) ((S Cα )-4)) by addition of 2 equiv HBF 4 ·Et 2 O in CH 2 Cl 2 at room temperature was not stereospecific and did not occur with β-hydride elimination from the methyl or benzyl groups.Key words: ruthenium, BINAP, enantioselective, hydrogenation, catalysis.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
