- Photoinduced [3+2] Annulation of Alkene with o-Iodoanilines: An Expedient Approach to Indolines
-
A highly regioselective [3+2] cyclization of alkenes with 2-iodoanilines under the irradiation of UV light is described. This general, metal-free strategy facilitates the direct preparation of 2-mono-/disubstituted indolines as well as spiroindolines through alkene carboamination in one step. Mechanistic studies suggested that the photochemical protocol proceeded via a radical pathway.

- Photoinduced Hydroarylation and Cyclization of Alkenes with Luminescent Platinum(II) Complexes
-
Photoinduced hydroarylation of alkenes is an appealing synthetic strategy for arene functionalization. Herein, we demonstrated that aryl radicals generated from electron-deficient aryl chlorides/bromides could be trapped by an array of terminal/internal aryl alkenes in the presence of [Pt(O^N^C^N)] under visible-light (410 nm) irradiation, affording anti-Markovnikov hydroarylated compounds in up to 95 % yield. Besides, a protocol for [Pt(O^N^C^N)]-catalyzed intramolecular photocyclization of acrylanilides to give structurally diverse 3,4-dihydroquinolinones has been developed.

An unprecedented approach for assembling a broad range of 1,2-diarylethane derivatives with fluorine-containing fully substituted carbon centers was developed. The protocol features straightforward operation, proceeds under metal-free condition, and accommodates a large variety of synthetically useful functionalities. The critical aspect to the success of this novel transformation lies in using aryldiazonium salts as both aryl radical progenitor and also as single electron acceptor which elegantly enables a radical-polar crossover manifold.

- Electrochemistry enabled selective vicinal fluorosulfenylation and fluorosulfoxidation of alkenes
-
Both sulfur and fluorine play important roles in organic synthesis, the life science, and materials science. The direct incorporation of these elements into organic scaffolds with precise control of the oxidation states of sulfur moieties is of great significance. Herein, we report the highly selective electrochemical vicinal fluorosulfenylation and fluorosulfoxidation reactions of alkenes, which were enabled by the unique ability of electrochemistry to dial in the potentials on demand. Preliminary mechanistic investigations revealed that the fluorosulfenylation reaction proceeded through a radical-polar crossover mechanism involving a key episulfonium ion intermediate. Subsequent electrochemical oxidation of fluorosulfides to fluorosulfoxides were readily achieved under a higher applied potential with the adventitious H2O in the reaction mixture.

- Electro-mediated PhotoRedox Catalysis for Selective C(sp3)–O Cleavages of Phosphinated Alcohols to Carbanions
-
We report a novel example of electro-mediated photoredox catalysis (e-PRC) in the reductive cleavage of C(sp3)?O bonds of phosphinated alcohols to alkyl carbanions. As well as deoxygenations, olefinations are reported which are E-selective and can be made Z-selective in a tandem reduction/photosensitization process where both steps are photoelectrochemically promoted. Spectroscopy, computation, and catalyst structural variations reveal that our new naphthalene monoimide-type catalyst allows for an intimate dispersive precomplexation of its radical anion form with the phosphinate substrate, facilitating a reactivity-determining C(sp3)?O cleavage. Surprisingly and in contrast to previously reported photoexcited radical anion chemistries, our conditions tolerate aryl chlorides/bromides and do not give rise to Birch-type reductions.

The utility of triphosgene and DMAP as mild reagents for chemoselective dehydration of tertiary alcohols is reported. Performed in dichloromethane at room temperature, this reaction is readily tolerated by a broad scope of substrates, yielding alkenes preferentially with the (E)-geometry. While formation of the Hofmann products is generally favored, a dramatic change in alkene selectivity toward the Zaitzev products is observed when the reaction is carried out in dichloroethane at reflux.

- Copper-Catalyzed 1,2-Methoxy Methoxycarbonylation of Alkenes with Methyl Formate
-
Reported here is a copper-catalyzed 1,2-methoxy methoxycarbonylation of alkenes by an unprecedented use of methyl formate as a source of both the methoxy and the methoxycarbonyl groups. This reaction transforms styrene and its derivatives into value-added β-methoxy alkanoates and cinnamates, as well as medicinally important five-membered heterocycles, such as functionalized tetrahydrofurans, γ-lactones, and pyrrolidines. A ternary β-diketiminato-CuI-styrene complex, fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallographic analysis, is capable of catalyzing the same transformation. These findings suggest that pre-coordination of electron-rich alkenes to copper might play an important role in accelerating the addition of nucleophilic radicals to electron-rich alkenes, and could have general implications in the design of novel radical-based transformations.

- Iterative Synthesis of Pluripotent Thioethers through Controlled Redox Fluctuation of Sulfur
-
Target- and diversity-oriented syntheses are based on diverse building blocks, whose preparation requires discrete design and constructive alignment of different chemistries. To enable future automation of the synthesis of small molecules, we have devised a unified strategy that serves the divergent synthesis of unrelated scaffolds such as carbonyls, olefins, organometallics, halides, and boronic esters. It is based on iterations of a nonelectrophilic Pummerer-type C-C coupling enabled by turbo -organomagnesium amides that we have recently reported. The pluripotency of sulfur allows the central building blocks to be obtained by regulating C-C bond formation through control of its redox state.

The metal-free process proceeds under B(C6F5)3 catalysis presumably by deuteride abstraction to form borodeuteride [DB(C6F5)3]a and highly Br?nsted-acidic Wheland intermediates. Low catalyst loadings (2.5 mol %) are used, and the reaction proceeds at room temperature.

- Electrochemical oxidative radical oxysulfuration of styrene derivatives with thiols and nucleophilic oxygen sources
-
Oxydifunctionalization of olefins represents a powerful tool and yet poses a challenging task. Previous methods have usually required a stoichiometric amount of a strong oxidant and an expensive transition-metal catalyst. This work describes the first example of the electrochemical oxysulfuration reaction of olefins with thiols and nucleophilic oxygen sources. This electrochemical difunctionalization reaction is conducted under catalyst- and oxidant-free conditions, and shows good substrate generality, affording thio-substituted alcohols, ethers and γ-lactones in good chemical yields and with excellent regioselectivities. This work represents a new and green strategy for the difunctionalization of olefins, and also provides a complementary and highly valuable prospect for current methodologies for the synthesis of thio-substituted compounds.

Given the central character of sulfur compounds in organic chemistry, this protocol allows access to unrelated carbonyls, olefins, organometallics, halides, and boronic esters through a single strategy.

A Ni-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling with 1,1-disubstituted styrenyl aziridines has been developed. This method delivers valuable β-substituted phenethylamines via a challenging reductive elimination that affords a quaternary carbon. A novel electron-deficient olefin ligand, Fro-DO, proved crucial for achieving high rates and chemoselectivity for C-C bond formation over β-H elimination. This ligand is easy to access, is stable, and presents a modular framework for reaction discovery and optimization. We expect that these attributes, combined with the fact that the ligands impart distinct electronic properties to a metal, will support the invention of new transformations not previously possible using established ligands.

- Mn-Catalyzed Highly Efficient Aerobic Oxidative Hydroxyazidation of Olefins: A Direct Approach to β-Azido Alcohols
-
(Chemical Equation Presented). An efficient Mn-catalyzed aerobic oxidative hydroxyazidation of olefins for synthesis of β-azido alcohols has been developed. The aerobic oxidative generation of azido radical employing air as the terminal oxidant is disclosed as the key process for this transformation. The reaction is appreciated by its broad substrate scope, inexpensive Mn-catalyst, high efficiency, easy operation under air, and mild conditions at room temperature. This chemistry provides a novel approach to high value-added β-azido alcohols, which are useful precursors of aziridines, β-amino alcohols, and other important N- and O-containing heterocyclic compounds. This chemistry also provides an unexpected approach to azido substituted cyclic peroxy alcohol esters. A DFT calculation indicates that Mn catalyst plays key dual roles as an efficient catalyst for the generation of azido radical and a stabilizer for peroxyl radical intermediate. Further calculation reasonably explains the proposed mechanism for the control of C-C bond cleavage or for the formation of β-azido alcohols.

- Nickel-catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck reaction of aryl sulfonates and chlorides with electronically unbiased terminal olefins: High selectivity for branched products
-
Achieving high selectivity in the Heck reaction of electronically unbiased alkenes has been a longstanding challenge. Using a nickel-catalyzed cationic Heck reaction, we were able to achieve excellent selectivity for branched products (≥19:1 in all cases) over a wide range of aryl electrophiles and aliphatic olefins. A bidentate ligand with a suitable bite angle and steric profile was key to obtaining high branched/linear selectivity, whereas the appropriate base suppressed alkene isomerization of the product. Although aryl triflates are traditionally used to access the cationic Heck pathway, we have shown that, by using triethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, we can effect a counterion exchange of the catalytic nickel complex, such that cheaper and more stable aryl chlorides, mesylates, tosylates, and sulfamates can be used to yield the same branched products with high selectivity. Branching out: A Ni-catalyzed Heck reaction for the preparation of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes is presented. High selectivity for the branched products is achieved with electronically unbiased aliphatic terminal olefins. Regioselectivities remain consistently high (≥19:1) throughout.

Handling of SiO2-Cl is much safer and easier than TMSCl, especially for large-scale operation. The selectivity of the method is also demonstrated by several competitive reactions. Ether formation, rearranged products, and polymerization have not been observed in the reactions.
