The conversion of 1,3-diaryl-2-diazo-1,3-diketones to 1,2-daryl-1,2-diketones (benzils) is reported based on a rhodium(II)-catalyzed aerobic decomposition process. The reaction occurs at ambient temperatures and can be catalyzed by a few dirhodium carboxylates (5 mol %) under a balloon pressure of oxygen. Moreover, an oxygen atom from the O2 reagent is shown to be incorporated into the product, and this is accompanied by the extrusion of a carbonyl unit from the starting materials. Mechanistically, it is proposed that the decomposition may proceed via the interaction of a ketene intermediate resulting from a Wolff rearrangement of the carbenoid, with a rhodium peroxide or peroxy radical species generated upon the activation of molecular oxygen. The proposed mechanism has been supported by the results from a set of controlled experiments. By using this newly developed strategy, a large array of benzil derivatives as well as 9,10-phenanthrenequinone were synthesized from the corresponding diazo substrates in varying yields. On the other hand, the method did not allow the generation of benzocyclobutene-1,2-dione from 2-diazo-1,3-indandione because of the difficulty of inducing the initial rearrangement.

Paragraph 0052-0055, (2020/02/19)
The invention discloses a non-metal catalytic method for preparing 1,3-diketone compounds based on acetyenic ketone. The preparation method is a stepwise method or a one-pot method. The stepwise method comprises the following steps: mixing an acetyenic ketone compound I, a nitrogen-containing aromatic compound II and a No.1 base for a reaction, performing separation and purification to obtain an intermediate product, mixing the intermediate product and a No.2 base for a reaction, and performing separation and purification to obtain the product; and the one-pot method comprises the following steps: firstly mixing an acetyenic ketone compound I and a nitrogen-containing aromatic compound II, adding a No.1 base, performing a reaction for a period of time, adding a No.2 base, continuing a reaction for a period of time, and finally performing separation and purification to obtain the product. The method provided by the invention has mild reaction conditions, simple operation and a higher yield, wherein the yield is generally 80% or more, and the method has greater practical application value in drug synthesis.

Localized singlet diradicals are key intermediates in bond homolysis. A thorough study of the reactive species is needed to clarify the mechanisms of the homolytic bond cleavage and formation processes. In general, the singlet diradicals are quite short-lived because of the fast radical-radical coupling reactions. The short-lived characteristic has retarded the thorough study on bond homolysis. In this study, a new series of long-lived singlet diradicals, viz., 1,2-diazacyclopentane-3,5-diyl, were identified, and their electronic structures and novel reactivities were thoroughly studied using laser-flash photolysis (LFP), product analysis, and computational studies. A direct observation of the thermal equilibration (fast process) between the singlet diradicals and the corresponding ring-closing compounds was undertaken on the submicrosecond time scale. The solvent and substituent effects on the equilibration constant and rate constants for the ring-closing reaction and ring-opening reaction clarify the novel nitrogen-atom effect on the localized singlet 1,3-diyl diradicals. Two types of alkoxy-migrated compounds, 9 and 10, were isolated with high yields as the final products. Crossover, spin-trapping, and LFP experiments for the formation of alkoxy-group migration products (i.e., 9 versus 10) revealed the unique temperature effect on the product ratio of the two types of alkoxy-migration products. The temperature-insensitive intersystem crossing process (slow process, millisecond time scale) was found to be a key step in the formation of 9, which is an entropy-controlled pathway. An intramolecular migration process was identified for the formation of 10 that was accelerated by a polar solvent in an enthalpy-controlled process. This unique heteroatom effect has opened up a new series of localized singlet diradicals that are crucial intermediates in bond homolysis.
