Electron donor-acceptor (EDA)-complex enabled SF5Cl addition on alkenes and alkynes

A new method for the addition of SF5Cl on unsaturated compounds was developed, based on the use of an electron donor-acceptor (EDA)-complex and visible light irradiation. The reaction does not require the presence of oxygen to proceed, compared

Construction of Esters through Sulfuryl Fluoride (SO 2 F 2) Mediated Dehydrative Coupling of Carboxylic Acids with Alcohols at Room Temperature

A facile method for the construction of esters through dehydrative coupling of carboxylic acids with alcohols is developed. The reactions are mediated by sulfuryl fluoride (SO 2 F 2) at room temperature and proceed with high efficiency. The method has several advantages including broad substrate scope, mild conditions, excellent functional group compatibility and affords high yields, even on gram scale.

Carbon Homologation of 1-Alkynes Using Alkoxymethyl Esters Mediated by Dichlorobis(trichloromethanesulfonato)titanium(IV)

Various 1-alkynes were converted to 1-alkoxy-3-chloro-2-alkenes using alkoxymethyl esters and dichlorobis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)titanium(IV) . This carbon homologation proceeded in the case of not only simple 1-alkynes but also for several 3- or 4-dimethylcarbamoyloxy-, 5-benzoyloxy-, 5-phenoxycarbonyloxy-, and 5-methoxycarbonyloxy-1-alkynes. Among them, 3- and 4-dimethylcarbamoyloxy-1-butynes underwent the reaction without loss of their functionalities compared with the other oxy substrates. The stereoselectivity was Z predominant, especially in the case of the above mentioned 3-, 4-, and 5-oxy substituted 1-alkynes. Addition of TiCl4 to this system was somewhat effective for enhancing the Z ratios. Titanium(IV) bis(triflate) was the only effective catalyst among several Lewis acids such as AlCl3, TiCl4, SnCl4, ZnCl2, and Sn(OTf)2. As a functionalization of the obtained vinyl chloride, 3-chloro-4-dimethylcarbamoyloxy-1-methoxy-2-pentene was converted into the corresponding ketone using Hg(OCOCF3)2.

Tandem Sakurai-aldol addition reactions as a route to structurally complex carbocycles

Tandem intramolecular Sakurai-aldol reactions provide a concise and highly diastereoselective route to substituted cyclohexenone derivatives. The cyclization substrates are readily obtained using olefin isomerization-Claisen rearrangement (ICR) reactions

Copper-Catalyzed Oxidative Fragmentation of Alkynes with NFSI Provides Aryl Ketones

A copper-catalyzed oxidative cleavage reaction of alkynes using NFSI and TBHP was described. Various terminal and internal alkyne substrates were employed to render quick access to aryl ketone products in moderate to good yields. NFSI not only functioned as N-centered radical precursors but also engaged in the aryl group migration. Mechanistic studies also suggested the important role of water in the title reactions.

Photoredox-Catalyzed Cyclobutane Synthesis by a Deboronative Radical Addition–Polar Cyclization Cascade

Photoredox-catalyzed methylcyclobutanations of alkylboronic esters are described. The reactions proceed through single-electron transfer induced deboronative radical addition to an electron-deficient alkene followed by single-electron reduction and polar

Photoinitiated anti-Hydropentafluorosulfanylation of Terminal Alkynes

A photoinitiated anti-hydropentafluorosulfanylation of terminal alkynes using SF5Cl and (TMS)3SiH as the hydrogen atom donor is reported. This transformation generates selectively (Z)-(1-alken-1-yl)pentafluoro-λ6-sulfanes

Practical Chemoselective Acylation: Organocatalytic Chemodivergent Esterification and Amidation of Amino Alcohols with N-Carbonylimidazoles

Chemoselective transformations are a cornerstone of efficient organic synthesis; however, achieving this goal for even simple transformations, such as acylation reactions, is often a challenge. We report that N-carbonylimidazoles enable catalytic chemodivergent aniline or alcohol acylation in the presence of pyridinium ions or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), respectively. Both acylation reactions display high and broad chemoselectivity for the target group. Unprecedented levels of chemoselectivity were observed in the DBU-catalyzed esterification: A single esterification product was obtained from a molecule containing primary aniline, alcohol, phenol, secondary amide, and N?H indole groups. These acylation reactions are highly practical as they involve only readily available, inexpensive, and relatively safe reagents; can be performed on a multigram scale; and can be used on carboxylic acids directly by in situ formation of the acylimidazole electrophile.

Fluorohydration of alkynes via I(I)/I(III) catalysis

Substrate specificity is ubiquitous in biological catalysis, but less pervasive in the realm of small-molecule catalysis. Herein, we disclose an intriguing example of substrate specificity that was observed whilst exploring catalysis-based routes to generate α-fluoroketones from terminal and internal alkynes under the auspices of I(I)/I(III) catalysis. Utilising p-TolI as an inexpensive organocatalyst with Selectfluor and amine/HF mixtures, the formation of protected α-fluoroketones from simple alkynes was realised. Whilst the transient p-TolIF2 species generated in situ productively engaged with pentynyl benzoate scaffolds to generate the desired α-fluoroketone motif, augmentation or contraction of the linker suppressed catalysis. The prerequisite for this substructure was established by molecular editing and was complemented with a physical organic investigation of possible determinants.

Enantioselective Addition of Alkynyl Esters and Ethers to Aldehydes Catalyzed by a Cyclopropyl Amino Alcohol Based Zinc Catalyst

A novel and highly enantioselective synthesis of hydroxyalkynyl esters and ethers through the asymmetric addition of alkynyl esters or ethers to aldehydes promoted by a cyclopropyl amino alcohol based zinc catalyst has been developed. The method afforded a library of new enantioenriched hydroxyalkynol esters and ethers (up to 93percent yield; 95percent ee), and it was compatible with a broad range of functional groups. Moreover, it could be used in the synthesis of carbon-chain-elongated enantioenriched hydroxyalkynol esters and (2 R,5 R)-musclide-A1, a cardiotonic potentiating principle from musk.
