K2S2O8activation by glucose at room temperature for the synthesis and functionalization of heterocycles in water

While persulfate activation at room temperature using glucose has primarily been focused on kinetic studies of the sulfate radical anion, the utilization of this protocol in organic synthesis is rarely demonstrated. We reinvestigated selected K2S2O8-mediated known organic reactions that invariably require higher temperatures and an organic solvent. A diverse, mild functionalization and synthesis of heterocycles using the inexpensive oxidant K2S2O8 in water at room temperature is reported, demonstrating the sustainability and broad scope of the method. Unlike traditional methods used for persulfate activation, the current method uses naturally abundant glucose as a K2S2O8 activator, avoiding the use of higher temperature, UV light, transition metals or bases.

Synthesis of 6-acyl phenanthridines by oxidative radical decarboxylation-cyclization of α-oxocarboxylates and isocyanides

A silver catalysed synthesis of 6-acyl phenanthridines by oxidative radical decarboxylation-cyclization of α-oxocarboxylates and isocyanides was developed. This reaction provided a novel method to realize C1 insertion via a radical process and various functional groups were well-tolerated. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Synthesis of biaryls and aryl ketones via microwave-assisted decarboxylative cross-couplings

A protocol for the microwave-assisted decarboxylative cross-couplings of carboxylic acid salts with aryl halides has been developed that allows the synthesis of various biaryls and aryl ketones in high yields. After careful adaptation of the bimetallic ca
