- Sustainable oxidations with air mediated by gallic acid: Potential applicability in the reutilization of grape pomace
-
Gallic acid converts atmospheric oxygen into hydrogen peroxide, which is able to oxidize arylboronic acids as a proof of concept of sustainable oxidations. Moreover, tannic acid and grape pomace extract are also able to perform oxidations with air. Therefore this work unleashes an alternative method for reutilization and valorization of bio-wastes rich in tannins.

- A Mild Heteroatom (O -, N -, and S -) Methylation Protocol Using Trimethyl Phosphate (TMP)-Ca(OH) 2Combination
-
A mild heteroatom methylation protocol using trimethyl phosphate (TMP)-Ca(OH)2combination has been developed, which proceeds in DMF, or water, or under neat conditions, at 80 °C or at room temperature. A series of O-, N-, and S-nucleophiles, including phenols, sulfonamides, N-heterocycles, such as 9H-carbazole, indole derivatives, and 1,8-naphthalimide, and aryl/alkyl thiols, are suitable substrates for this protocol. The high efficiency, operational simplicity, scalability, cost-efficiency, and environmentally friendly nature of this protocol make it an attractive alternative to the conventional base-promoted heteroatom methylation procedures.

- B2cat2-Mediated Reduction of Sulfoxides to Sulfides
-
An efficient and operationally simple method for the reduction of sulfoxides to sulfides has been developed using bis(catecholato)diboron (B2cat2) as a reducing agent. The present method accommodates various functional groups which are generally prone to reduction: halides, alkynes, carbonyls, nitriles, and heterocycles are totally intact, and only sulfoxide moieties undergo reduction chemoselectively. Moreover, the remaining diboron and the resulting boron-containing wastes are readily removable, the practicality of this protocol being thus demonstrated.

- Photocatalytic Deoxygenation of Sulfoxides Using Visible Light: Mechanistic Investigations and Synthetic Applications
-
The photocatalytic deoxygenation of sulfoxides to generate sulfides facilitated by either Ir[(dF(CF3)ppy)2(dtbbpy)]PF6 or fac-Ir(ppy)3 is reported. Mechanistic studies indicate that a radical chain mechanism operates, which proceeds via a phosphoranyl radical generated from a radical/polar crossover process. Initiation of the radical chain was found to proceed via two opposing photocatalytic quenching mechanisms, offering complementary reactivity. The mild nature of the radical deoxygenation process enables the reduction of a wide range of functionalized sulfoxides, including those containing acid-sensitive groups, in typically high isolated yields.

The chromane nucleus is common to a plenum of bioactive small molecules where it is frequently oxidized at position 3. Motivated by the importance of this position in conferring efficacy, and the prominence of bioisosterism in drug discovery, an iodine(I)/iodine(III) catalysis strategy to access enantioenriched 3-fluorochromanes is disclosed (up to 7:93 e.r.). In situ generation of ArIF2 enables the direct fluorocyclization of allyl phenyl ethers to generate novel scaffolds that manifest the stereoelectronic gauche effect. Mechanistic interrogation using deuterated probes confirms a stereospecific process consistent with a type IIinv pathway.

- Rapid heteroatom transfer to arylmetals utilizing multifunctional reagent scaffolds
-
Arylmetals are highly valuable carbon nucleophiles that are readily and inexpensively prepared from aryl halides or arenes and widely used on both laboratory and industrial scales to react directly with a wide range of electrophiles. Although C-C bond formation has been a staple of organic synthesis, the direct transfer of primary amino (-NH2) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups to arylmetals in a scalable and environmentally friendly fashion remains a formidable synthetic challenge because of the absence of suitable heteroatom-transfer reagents. Here, we demonstrate the use of bench-stable N-H and N-alkyl oxaziridines derived from readily available terpenoid scaffolds as efficient multifunctional reagents for the direct primary amination and hydroxylation of structurally diverse aryl- and heteroarylmetals. This practical and scalable method provides one-step synthetic access to primary anilines and phenols at low temperature and avoids the use of transition-metal catalysts, ligands and additives, nitrogen-protecting groups, excess reagents and harsh workup conditions.

This system shows good functional group tolerance and provides a benign and efficient access to a variety of functionalized phenols. Furthermore, the in situ generated hydroperoxide can be well used for triphenylphosphine oxidation, in which the TON is up to 194.

A well known copper based-metal organic framework (MOF), namely Cu3(BTC)2, is a suitable heterogeneous catalyst to promote the oxidative room-temperature hydroxylation of arylboronic acids to the corresponding phenols by H2O2. Using 0.5 equiv of H2O2, Cu3(BTC)2 exhibits 80% conversion in 60 min that is higher than 70% conversion achieved with Fe(BTC) under the same conditions and reaction time. Cu3(BTC)2 is reusable with no significant drop in the activity. Furthermore, powder XRD of the reused Cu3(BTC)2 shows no changes in crystallinity compared to the fresh Cu3(BTC)2, indicating catalyst stability is maintained under reaction conditions. The scope of Cu3(BTC)2 as heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidative hydroxylation was studied for various phenylboronic acids.

- Highly chemoselective methylation and esterification reactions with dimethyl carbonate in the presence of NaY faujasite. The case of mercaptophenols, mercaptobenzoic acids, and carboxylic acids bearing OH substituents

In the presence of NaY faujasite, the reactions of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) with several ambident nucleophiles such as o- and p-mercaptophenols (1a,b), o- and p-mercaptobenzoic acids (2a,b), o- and p-hydroxybenzoic acids (3a,b), mandelic and phenyllactic acids (4, 5), have been explored under batch conditions. Highly chemoselective reactions can be performed: at 150 °C, compounds 1 and 2 undergo only a S-methylation reaction, without affecting OH and CO2H groups; at 165 °C, acids 3-5 form the corresponding methyl esters, while both their aromatic and aliphatic OH substituents are fully preserved from methylation and/or transesterification processes. Typical selectivities are of 90-98% and isolated yields of products (S-methyl derivatives and methyl esters, respectively) are in the range of 85-96%. A comparative study with K2CO3 as a catalyst is also reported. Although the base (K2CO3) turns out to be more active than the zeolite, the chemoselectivity is elusive: compounds 2a,b undergo simultaneous S-methylation and esterification reactions, and acids 3-5 yield complex mixtures of products of O-methylation, O-methoxycarbonylation, and esterification of their OH and CO2H groups, respectively. Overall, the combined use of a nontoxic reagent/solvent (DMC) and a safe promoter (NaY) imparts a genuine ecofriendly nature to the investigated synthesis.

Electrolysis of organic disulfides in liquid sulfur dioxide is used to obtain organothiating agents, which can then be reacted with appropriate substrates to effect the synthesis of organothioaromatic compounds efficiently and in high yields. With appropriate phenolic compounds, regioselective substitution occurs in which para substitution greatly exceeds ortho substitution.

- Alkyl- and Arylthiodediazoniations of Dry Arenediazonium o-Benzenedisulfonimides. Efficient and Safe Modifications of the Stadler and Ziegler Reactions to Prepare Alkyl Aryl and Diaryl Sulfides
-
The reaction between dry arenediazonium o-benzenedisulfonimides 1 and sodium thiolates in anhydrous methanol represents an efficient and safe procedure, of general validity, for the preparation of unfunctionalized or variously functionalized alkyl aryl and diaryl sulfides. As a rule, the reaction temperature was maintained at 0-5°C for the alkylthiodediazoniations and at room temperature (20-25°C) for the arylthiodediazoniations. The sulfide yields are generally high; of the 63 considered examples, 43 gave yields greater than 80% and 13 were between 70% and 80%. Lower yields were obtained only when sterically hindered diazonium salts or thiols were used. A good amount of the o-benzenedisulfonimide (8) was always recovered from the reactions and could be reused to prepare salts 1. The copious experimental data collected in homogeneous conditions have offered several starting points for the study of the mechanism of these reactions.
