Rapid assembly of α-ketoamides through a decarboxylative strategy of isocyanates with α-oxocarboxylic acids under mild conditions
A simple and practical method for α-ketoamide synthesis via a decarboxylative strategy of isocyanates with α-oxocarboxylic acids is described. The reaction proceeds at room temperature under mild conditions without an oxidant or an additive, showing good substrate scope and functional compatibility. Moreover, the applicability of this method was further demonstrated by the synthesis of various bioactive molecules and different application examples through a two-step one-pot operation.

Photoinduced homolytic decarboxylative acylation/cyclization of unactivated alkenes with α-keto acid under external oxidant and photocatalyst free conditions: access to quinazolinone derivatives
A novel and green strategy for the synthesis of acylated quinazolinone derivativesviaphoto-induced decarboxylative cascade radical acylation/cyclization of quinazolinone bearing unactivated alkenes has been developed. The protocol provides a novel route to access acyl radicals from α-keto acids through a self-catalyzed energy transfer process. Most importantly, the reaction proceeded smoothly without any external photocatalyst, additive or oxidant, and could be easily scaled-up in flow conditions with sunlight irradiation.

Hypervalent Iodine(III)-Promoted Radical Oxidative C-H Annulation of Arylamines with α-Keto Acids
A novel catalyst-free radical oxidative C-H annulation reaction of arylamines with α-keto acids toward benzoxazin-2-ones synthesis under mild conditions was developed. This hypervalent iodine(III)-promoted process eliminated the use of a metal catalyst or additive with high levels of functional group tolerance. Hypervalent iodine(III) was both an oxidant and a radical initiator for this reaction. The synthetic utility of this method was confirmed by the synthesis of the natural product cephalandole A.

Possible competitive modes of decarboxylation in the annulation reactions ofortho-substituted anilines and arylglyoxylates
Annulation reactions ofortho-substituted anilines and arylglyoxylates in the presence of K2S2O8at 80 °C under metal-free neutral conditions have been investigated, which extended a platform for the tandem synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles. While arylglyoxylic acids are known to undergo decarboxylation to form an acyl radical in the presence of K2S2O8and used in the Minisci acylation of electron-deficient (hetero)aromatics, their reactions with electron-richortho-substituted anilines to form nitrogen heterocycles have recently been studied. Depending upon the experimental conditions used in the reactions, the mechanism of the formation of heterocycles involving reactions of an acyl radical or aryl iminocarboxylic acids has been postulated. Given the subtle understanding of the mechanisms of annulation reactions of 2-substituted anilines and arylglyoxylates in the presence of K2S2O8, an extensive mechanistic investigation was undertaken. In the current study, the various mechanistic pathways including the generation of acyl, imidoyl, aminal, and N,O-hemiketal radicals have been postulated based on different possible decarboxylation modes. Some of the proposed intermediates are supported based on the available analytical data. The protocol uses a single, inexpensive reagent K2S2O8, which offers not only transition-metal-free conditions but also serves as the reagent for the key decarboxylation step. Taken together, this study complements the current development of the annulation reactions of 2-substituted anilines and arylglyoxylates in terms of synthesis and mechanistic understanding.

Novel peptidomimetic peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Emergence of MDR-TB and XDR-TB led to the failure of available anti-tubercular drugs. In order to explore, identify and develop new anti-tubercular drugs, novel peptidomimetic series of Mtb–peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitors was designed and synthesized. In vitro antimycobacterial potential of compounds was established by screening of compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain using MABA. Among them, ester series of compounds 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, and 4e were found most active, with compound 4c being highly active and exhibiting minimum inhibitory concentration of 6.25?μg/ml against M.?tb H37Rv strain. Additionally, the compounds were docked to determine the probable binding interactions and understand the mechanism of action of most active molecules on Mtb-peptide deformylase (PDF), which is involved in the mycobacterium protein synthesis.

Direct 1,2-Dicarbonylation of Alkenes towards 1,4-Diketones via Photocatalysis
1,4-Dicarbonyl compounds are intriguing motifs and versatile precursors in numerous pharmaceutical molecules and bioactive natural compounds. Direct incorporation of two carbonyl groups into a double bond at both ends is straightforward, but also challenging. Represented herein is the first example of 1,2-dicarbonylation of alkenes by photocatalysis. Key to success is that N(n-Bu)4+ not only associates with the alkyl anion to avoid protonation, but also activates the α-keto acid to undergo electrophilic addition. The α-keto acid is employed both for acyl generation and electrophilic addition. By tuning the reductive and electrophilic ability of the acyl precursor, unsymmetric 1,4-dicarbonylation is achieved for the first time. This metal-free, redox-neutral and regioselective 1,2-dicarbonylation of alkenes is executed by a photocatalyst for versatile substrates under extremely mild conditions and shows great potential in biomolecular and drug molecular derivatization.

K2S2O8mediated synthesis of 5-Aryldipyrromethanes and meso-substituted A4-Tetraarylporphyrins
The synthesis of dipyrromethanes from pyrrole and arylglyoxylic acids in the presence of K2S2O8at 90 C is reported affording dipyrromethanes in very good yields. Unlike an excess pyrrole traditionally used in dipyrromethane synthesis, the current method uses a stoichiometric amount of pyrrole avoiding any use of Br?nsted or Lewis acid. A gram scale synthesis of 5-phenyldipyrromethane is also achieved demonstrating potential scale up of dipyrromethanes using this method feasible. Subsequently, dipyrromethanes were converted to A4tetraarylporphyrins also in the presence of K2S2O8at 90C. A direct synthesis of A4-tetraphenylporphyrin from excess pyrrole and phenylglyoxylic acid in the presence of K2S2O8 at 90C is also reported.

1D Fe3O4&at;CuSiO3 composites catalyzed decarboxylative A3-coupling for propargylamine synthesis
Highly active and stable magnetic copper catalysts were successfully achieved by magnetic induced St?ber method and subsequent hydrothermal reaction with copper ions in alkaline condition. The high content of Cu2+ as well as the unique structures of hierarchical copper silicate in the as-prepared catalysts endowed their outstanding catalytic performance. Efficient decarboxylative A3-coupling of α-keto acid, amine and alkyne was realized with the low Fe3O4&at;CuSiO3 loading. A range of propargylamines were produced in good to excellent yields under solvent-free condition. Moreover, the catalyst can be easily separated from the final organic product with an external magnet. Also, this kind of catalyst could be recycled up to six times while maintaining its activity.

Selective photoredox decarboxylation of α-ketoacids to allylic ketones and 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds dependent on cobaloxime catalysis
A photoredox/cobaloxime co-catalyzed coupling reaction of α-ketoacids and methacrylates to obtain allylic ketones is described. Without the cobaloxime catalyst, 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds are generated. The cobaloxime catalyst enables dehydrogenation to generate the formation of new olefins. The generality, good substrate scope and mild conditions are good features in the photoredox/cobaloxime catalysis protocol, and this method will provide new opportunities for the functionalization of more olefins.

Synthesis of Unprotected 2-Arylglycines by Transamination of Arylglyoxylic Acids with 2-(2-Chlorophenyl)glycine
The transamination of α-keto acids with 2-phenylglycine is an effective methodology for directly synthesizing unprotected α-amino acids. However, the synthesis of 2-arylglycines by transamination is problematic because the corresponding products, 2-arylglycines, transaminate the starting arylglyoxylic acids. Herein, we demonstrate the use of commercially available l-2-(2-chlorophenyl)glycine as the nitrogen source in the transamination of arylglyoxylic acids, producing the corresponding 2-arylglycines without interference from the undesired self-transamination process.

Unnatural amino acids (UAAs) are key building blocks with widespread application across several scientific fields. Therefore, it is highly attractive to develop straightforward and simple methodologies capable of granting quick access to these species. Herein we report a light-mediated protocol for the synthesis of UAA via radical decarboxylative processes. This methodology, which employs readily available and abundant starting materials – such as carboxylic and α-keto acids – proceeds under very mild reaction conditions and shows a high functional group tolerance. In addition, the products of the radical reaction can be readily derivatized to grant rapid access to complex UAAs. (Figure presented.).

Bioinspired Radical Stetter Reaction: Radical Umpolung Enabled by Ion-Pair Photocatalysis
A bioinspired, intermolecular radical Stetter reaction of α-keto acids and aldehydes is disclosed that is contingent on a formal “radical umpolung” concept. Enabled by secondary amine activation, electrostatic recognition ensures that the α-ketocarboxylic acids, which function as latent acyl radicals, are proximal to the in situ generated iminium salts. This photoactive contact ion pair is an electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complex, and undergoes facile single electron transfer (SET) and rapid decarboxylation prior to radical–radical recombination. Importantly, decarbonylation is mitigated by this strategy. The initial computational validation on which the process is predicated matches closely with experiment. Synergising organo- and photocatalysis activation principles finally expands the mechanistic and synthetic scope of the classic Stetter reaction to include α,β-unsaturated aldehydes as acceptors.

Intermolecular Radical Addition to Ketoacids Enabled by Boron Activation
The intermolecular radical addition to the carbonyl group is difficult due to the facile fragmentation of the resulting alkoxyl radical. To date, the intermolecular radical addition to ketones, a valuable approach to construct quaternary carbon centers, remains a formidable synthetic challenge. Here, we report the first visible-light-induced intermolecular alkyl boronic acid addition to α-ketoacids enabled by the Lewis acid activation. The in situ boron complex formation is confirmed by various spectroscopic measurements and mechanistic probing experiments, which facilitates various alkyl boronic acid addition to the carbonyl group and prevents the cleavage of the newly formed C-C bond. Diversely substituted lactates can be synthesized from readily available alkyl boronic acids and ketoacids at room temperature merely under visible light irradiation, without any additional reagent. This boron activation approach can be extended to alkyl dihydropyridines as radical precursors with external boron reagents for primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radical additions. The pharmaceutically useful anticholinergic precursors are easily scaled up in multigrams under metal-free conditions in flow reactors.

The introduction of hydroxyl substituent on ortho-site of α-keto acids make this strategy further applicable to the construction of flavone derivatives via heteroannulation in moderate to good yields with a similar silver-catalyzed system. The reactions proceed under relatively mild reaction conditions and tolerate a wide variety of functional groups. Control experiments indicated that both the reactions undergo radical processes.

Anti-Selective Catalytic Asymmetric Nitroaldol Reaction of α-Keto Esters: Intriguing Solvent Effect, Flow Reaction, and Synthesis of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
A rare-earth metal/alkali metal bimetallic catalyst proved particularly effective for enantioselectively coupling nitroalkanes and α-keto esters in an anti-selective manner to afford synthetically versatile, densely functionalized, and optically active α-nitro tertiary alcohols. A chiral diamide ligand captured two distinct metal cations, giving rise to a catalytically competent solid-phase heterobimetallic catalyst by simple mixing via self-assembly. The advantage of the solid-phase asymmetric catalyst was realized by successful application to the enantio- and diastereoselective reaction in a continuous-flow platform. The use of closely related solvents in terms of structures and polarity parameters, THF and its methylated congener 2-Me-THF, had an unexpectedly large solvent effect both on the reaction rate and the stereoselectivity. The nitroaldol products share a privileged unit for active pharmaceutical ingredients, as demonstrated by the streamlined enantioselective synthesis of the marketed antifungal agents efinaconazole and albaconazole.

Visible-Light-Triggered, Metal- and Photocatalyst-Free Acylation of N-Heterocycles
A photoinduced acylation of N-heterocycles is explored. This visible-light triggered reaction occurs not only under extremely mild reaction conditions, but also does not require the presence of a photosensitizer. The mechanistic studies suggest formation of EDA complexes prompt to harness the energy from visible-light. Compatibility with a large panel of α-keto acids as acyl precursors and an array of N-heterocycles clearly showcase the synthetic potential of this handy and green acylation protocol. (Figure presented.).

Umpolung Reactivity of Aldehydes toward Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is an intrinsically stable molecule. Therefore, its activation requires extra energy input in the form of reactive reagents and/or activated catalysts and, often, harsh reaction conditions. Reported here is a direct carboxylation reaction of aromatic aldehydes with carbon dioxide to afford α-keto acids as added-value products. In situ generation of a reactive cyanohydrin was the key to the successful carboxylation reaction under operationally mild reaction conditions (25–40 °C, 1 atm CO2). The resulting α-keto acids served as a platform for α-amino acid synthesis by reductive amination reactions, illustrating the chemical synthesis of essential bioactive molecules from carbon dioxide.

The Synthesis of Chiral α-Aryl α-Hydroxy Carboxylic Acids via RuPHOX-Ru Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation
A ruthenocenyl phosphino-oxazoline-ruthenium complex (RuPHOX?Ru) catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-aryl keto acids has been successfully developed, affording the corresponding chiral α-aryl α-hydroxy carboxylic acids in high yields and with up to 97% ee. The reaction could be performed on a gram scale with a relatively low catalyst loading (up to 5000 S/C) and the resulting products can be transformed to several chiral building blocks, biologically active compounds and chiral drugs. (Figure presented.).

Copper-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylative coupling of α-keto acids and sulfoximines
A copper-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylative coupling of α-keto acids with NH-sulfoximines has been developed. With CuBr as the catalyst and K2S2O8 as the oxidant, this reaction enables the formation of a C-N bond and gives N-aroylsulfoximine products in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction mechanism is likely to involve the generation of a reactive aroyl radical intermediate.

Aldehydes as Carbon Radical Acceptors: Silver Nitrate Catalyzed Cascade Decarboxylation and Oxidative Cyclization toward Dihydroflavonoid Derivatives
Silver nitrate-catalyzed cascade decarboxylation and oxidative cyclization of α-oxocarboxylic acids, alkenes, and aldehydes is demonstrated for the first time. With ammonium persulfate as the oxidant, the cascade reactions afford dihydroflavonoid derivatives as products in moderate to good yields, exhibiting a broad substrate tolerance. Control experiments indicated that the mechanism includes a radical pathway with aldehydes as the carbon radical acceptors. (Figure presented.).

Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative, decarbonylative and dehydrogenative C(sp2)-H acylation at room temperature
Over the past few decades, an impressive array of C-H activation methodology has been developed for organic synthesis. However, due to the inherent inertness of the C-H bonds (e.g. ～110 kcal mol-1 for the cleavage of C(aryl)-H bonds) harsh reaction conditions have been realized to overcome high energetic transition states resulting in a limited substrate scope and functional group tolerance. Therefore, the development of mild C-H functionalization protocols is in high demand to exploit the full potential of the C-H activation strategy in the synthesis of a complex molecular framework. Although, electron-rich substrates undergo electrophilic metalation under relatively mild conditions, electron-deficient substrates proceed through a rate-limiting C-H insertion under forcing conditions at high temperature. In addition, a stoichiometric amount of toxic silver salt is frequently used in palladium catalysis to facilitate the C-H activation process which is not acceptable from the environmental and industrial standpoint. We report herein, a Pd(ii)-catalyzed decarboxylative C-H acylation of 2-arylpyridines with α-ketocarboxylic acids under mild conditions. The present protocol does not require stoichiometric silver(i) salts as additives and proceeds smoothly at ambient temperature. A novel decarbonylative C-H acylation reaction has also been accomplished using aryl glyoxals as acyl surrogates. Finally, a practical C-H acylation via a dehydrogenative pathway has been demonstrated using commercially available benzaldehydes and aqueous hydroperoxides. We also disclose that acetonitrile solvent is optimal for the acylation reaction at room temperature and has a prominent role in the reaction outcome. Control experiments suggest that the acylation reaction via decarboxylative, decarbonylative and dehydrogenative proceeds through a radical pathway. Thus we disclose a practical protocol for the sp2 C-H acylation reaction.

N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Umpolung of Alkynyl 1,2-Diketones
The umpolung of alkynyl 1,2-diketones via N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis was achieved for the first time, allowing the rapid access to a large variety of synthetically and pharmaceutically important α-pyrones under very mild conditions. A completely new NHC-catalyzed umpolung pattern involving an O-acylated allenolate as the key intermediate was proposed. Moreover, an unprecedented reaction pathway, featured by a series of group migrations and new bond formation, was postulated to demonstrate the formation of the products. (Figure presented.).

Catalyst-Free Singlet Oxygen-Promoted Decarboxylative Amidation of α-Keto Acids with Free Amines
A novel catalyst-free decarboxylative amidation of α-keto acids with amines under mild conditions has been developed. Advantages of the new protocol include avoidance of metal catalysts and high levels of functional group tolerance. In addition, the reaction can be scaled up and shows high chemoselectivity. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that singlet oxygen, generated from oxygen under irradiation, is the key promoter for this catalyst-free transformation.
