Cheap and readily available aqueous formaldehyde was used as a formylating reagent in a homologation reaction with nonstabilized diazo compounds, enabled by UV photolysis of bench-stable oxadiazolines in a flow photoreactor. Various aliphatic aldehydes were synthesized along with the corresponding derivatized alcohols and benzimidazoles. No transition-metal catalyst or additive was required to affect the reaction, which proceeded at room temperature in 80 min.

Novel 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles and -thiadiazoles were synthesized and found to be potent CB1 cannabinoid receptor agonists. The oral bioavailability of these compounds could be dramatically improved by optimization studies of the side chains attached to the indole and oxadiazole cores, leading to identification of a CB1 receptor agonist with good oral activity in a range of preclinical models of antinociception and antihyperalgesia.
Radical hydroxymethylation of alkyl iodides using formaldehyde as a C1 synthon

Radical hydroxymethylation using formaldehyde as a C1 synthon is challenging due to the reversible and endothermic nature of the addition process. Here we report a strategy that couples alkyl iodide building blocks with formaldehyde through the use of photocatalysis and a phosphine additive. Halogen-atom transfer (XAT) from α-aminoalkyl radicals is leveraged to convert the iodide into the corresponding open-shell species, while its following addition to formaldehyde is rendered irreversible by trapping the transient O-radical with PPh3. This event delivers a phosphoranyl radical that re-generates the alkyl radical and provides the hydroxymethylated product.
