- Synthesis of aryl sulfides via radical–radical cross coupling of electron-rich arenes using visible light photoredox catalysis
-
Electron-rich arenes react with aryl and alkyl disulfides in the presence of catalytic amounts of [Ir(dF(CF3)ppy)2(dtbpy)]PF6 and (NH4)2S2O8 under blue light irradiation to yield arylthiols. The reaction proceeds at room temperature and avoids the use of prefunctionalized arenes. Experimental evidence suggests a radical–radical cross coupling mechanism.

- α-Sulfonyl succinimides: Versatile sulfinate donors in Fe-catalyzed, salt-free, neutral allylic substitution
-
Allyl sulfones are versatile intermediates in organic chemistry. The presence of two distinct functional groups sets the stage for a plethora of subsequent transformations. However, despite these advantages the preparation of regioisomerically enriched sulfones is not easy. The use of sulfinate salts as nucleophiles in substitutions is frequently accompanied by side reactions such as π-bond migration, β-elimination, and so on. Herein we present a preparatively simple way to synthesize a variety of different aryl or alkyl allyl sulfones starting from readily accessible allylic carbonates. By employing aryl or alkyl α-sulfonyl succinimides as sulfinate synthons, mild and regioselective ipso substitution of diverse allylic carbonates was realized.

- The azomethine ylide strategy for β-lactam synthesis. An evaluation of alternative pathways for azomethine ylide generation
-
Following the generation of azomethine ylide 3 from the β-lactam-based oxazolidinone 1, a series of alternative entries to this and related 1,3-dipoles have been explored. The first approach is based on the use of monocyclic azetidinones 6-12 and 14 carrying a leaving group at C(4) and an activated (acidic) proton adjacent to the ring nitrogen, structural moieties which are both associated with 1. These monocyclic substrates show no tendency towards azomethine ylide formation, which points towards the ring strain present in 1 as an important prerequisite for azomethine ylide formation. The reactivity associated with the racemic Glaxo betaine 17, the structure of which has now been confirmed by X-ray crystallography, appears to involve an azomethine ylide 19, which is very similar to 3. However, attempts to trap 19 using an intermolecular cycloaddition failed; the intramolecular process involving an enolate as a trapping agent to give oxapenem 18 is more effective. Two novel thia-substituted bicyclic oxazolidinones 22 and 23, as well as the unsubstituted variant 33, have been prepared. In the case of 22 and 23, products derived from an alternative mode of iminium ion formation are observed. This pathway is a consequence of C-S bond cleavage, and this reactivity profile has been evaluated computationally. The data suggest that relief of strain within the four-membered ring-as opposed to 1 in which five-membered ring cleavage leads to an iminium ion-provides a driving force for C-S bond cleavage. As a result, the ability of 22 and 23 to give a synthetically useful azomethine ylide is compromised by the siting of an alternative leaving group adjacent to the azetidinone nitrogen. The unsubstituted bicyclic oxazolidinone 33 is thermally unstable, and no cycloadducts have been characterized from this system. Again, computational studies suggest that both direct and stepwise decarboxylation of 33 are energetically demanding processes.

- On the Cycloaddition Approach to Indolocarbazoles
-
2,2'-Biindolyl 9 reacts with electron-deficient dienophiles at 100-110 deg C to give low to moderate yields of Michael addition and formal cycloaddition products, with the former predominant; the products derived from 9 and 2-(phenylsulphinyl)maleimides 14 and 15 undergo in situ elimination of benzenesulphenic acid, leading to 2,2'-biindolyl-substituted maleimides which can be efficiently photocyclised into indolocarbazoles.

- Nickel(0) induzierte und katalysierte CC-Verknuepfungen von Phenylisocyanat mit funktionalisierten Alkenen
-
Monosubstituted alkenes RCH=CH2 (R=OEt (Ia), SPh (Ib), CO2Me (Ic)) react with phenyl isocyanate on (Lig)Ni0 systems to form tricyclohexylphosphane-5-azanickelacyclopentan-4-one-derivatives (V).It is shown that the complexes V are intermediates in the catalytic CC coupling reaction.Further reactions by the system is dependent upon the nature of R.Thus when R=OEt (Ia) a β-elimination is induced, which ultimately leads to 3-ethoxyacrylic acid anilide (XIa), the unsaturated product of a 1/1 CC coupling.On the other hand, when R=CO2Me (Ic) further insertion of isocyanate occurs, to give 1,5-diphenyl-2,6-dioxo-hexahydropyrimidine-4-acidmethylester (XII).Characteristic features are descriebed, and the reaction mechanisms are discussed.
