In this study, we reported a photo-induced radical borylation of hemiacetal derivatives via C–C bond cleavage. This transformation can be realized under mild conditions with simple reaction settings and irradiation of visible light. A series of substrates, including both cyclic and linear hemiacetal derivatives, were effectively transformed to the borylation product in moderate to good yields. Finally, the mechanism was studied in detail by DFT calculations, suggesting insight of the radical borylation process.

We report an efficient intramolecular hydroacyloxylation of unactivated alkenes, offering a streamlined access to relevant γ-lactones, which features the utilization of either a calcium(II) salt or triflimide as a catalyst in hexafluoroisopropanol. This method could be applied to the synthesis of natural products and the late-stage functionalization of natural and bioactive molecules. Additionally, DFT computations were used to elucidate the twist of reactivity observed between the hydroamidation and hydroacyloxylation of unactivated alkenes regarding the formation of 5- and 6-membered rings.
W(OTf)6-Catalyzed Synthesis of Γ-Lactones by Ring Contraction of Macrolides or Ring Closing of Terminal Hydroxyfatty Acids in Ionic Liquid

γ-Lactones are an important class of fine chemical products and are widely used in perfumes, medicines, pesticides, dyes, and other fields. Herein, a new method for γ-lactones preparation based on ring contraction was developed. Starting from macrolides, W(OTf)6 was used to catalyze the ring-opening polymerization then depolymerization. The depolymerization step was not a common ring-closing process, and the carbon number of the ring was reduced one by one by rearrangement to form the most thermodynamically stable five-membered ring compounds. γ-Caprolactone (180 °C for 10 h) was obtained in a yield of 94 % when [EMIM]OTf was used as the solvent, and the yield of isolated product was up to 85 %. The interaction of various components and the reaction mechanism were studied by FTIR spectroscopy and 1H NMR spectroscopy, respectively. Furthermore, γ-lactones could be produced when the substrate was extended to terminal hydroxyfatty acids. Unexpectedly, the catalyst was poisoned by 1 equivalent of H2O added during the process and thus the yield decreased greatly. The reaction is green and simple, and proceeds in one pot with high atom economy (100 % for macrolides and with water as the only byproduct for terminal hydroxyfatty acid), which provides a promising approach to synthesizing γ-lactones.

An unprecedented strategy for the highly effective synthesis of γ-lactones from homoallylic alcohols was achieved by palladium catalysis in one step. The protocol affords aryl, alkyl, and spiro γ-lactones directly from readily available homoallylic alcohols in good yields with excellent functional group tolerance and high chemoselectivity under mild conditions.

We have developed a strategy to transform olefins into homoallylic nitriles through a mechanism that combines copper catalysis with alkyl nitrile radicals. The radicals are easily generated from alkyl nitriles in the presence of the mild oxidant di-tert-butyl peroxide. This cross-dehydrogenative coupling between simple olefins and alkylnitriles bears advantages over the conventional use of halides and toxic cyanide reagents. With this method, we showcase the facile synthesis of a flavoring agent, a natural product, and a polymer precursor from simple olefins.

Last-minute deal: A direct lactonisation of ethers and alcohols onto amides that proceeds at room temperature under mild conditions is reported (see scheme). This allows the effective saving of up to two unproductive, sequential deprotection operations in synthetic sequences. Mechanistic studies are described, and a new "amide strategy" that exploits the dual robustness/late-stage selective activation properties of this functional group is outlined. Copyright
