Vitamin B12 is a cofactor for many enzymes, but it also functions as a catalyst in C?C bond-forming reactions. Herein, the impact of corrin structural modifications on their catalytic efficacy was examined. Derivatives with various substituents at c-, d-, and meso-positions were synthesised by using traditional and new microwave methodologies, and then tested in the model reaction of 1,1-diphenylethylene with ethyl diazoacetate. To complement the experimental data, cyclic voltammetry and DFT calculations were performed. Mainly alterations at the c- or d-positions influence both the reaction yield and selectivity.

A titanium(IV)-mediated ring-opening/dehydroxylative cross-coupling of diaryl-substituted methanols with a cyclopropanol derivative was developed. The reactions proceeded efficiently to provide synthetically useful γ,γ-diaryl esters in moderate to good yields, which could be applied to the functionalization of complex molecules derived from bioactive fenofibrate and isoxepac and the synthesis of a precursor of Zoloft.

One of the most common reactions of diazo compounds with alkenes is cyclopropanation, which occurs through metal carbene or free carbene intermediates. Alternative functionalization of alkenes with diazo compounds is limited, and a methodology for the addition of the elements of Z-CHR2 (with Z = H or heteroatom, and CHR2 originates from N2 CR2) across a carbon-carbon double bond has not been reported. Here we report a novel reaction of diazo compounds utilizing a radical-mediated addition strategy to achieve difunctionalization of diverse alkenes. Diazo compounds are transformed to carbon radicals with a photocatalyst or an iron catalyst through PCET processes. The carbon radical selectively adds to diverse alkenes, delivering new carbon radical species, and then forms products through hydroalkylation by thiol-assisted hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), or forms azidoalkylation products through an iron catalytic cycle. These two processes are highly complementary, proceed under mild reaction conditions, and show high functional group tolerance. Furthermore, both transformations are successfully performed on a gram-scale, and diverse γ-amino esters, γ-amino alcohols, and complex spirolactams are easily prepared with commercially available reagents. Mechanistic studies reveal the plausible pathways that link the two processes and explain the unique advantages of each.

We report a Ni-catalyzed regioselective α-carbonylalkylarylation of vinylarenes with α-halocarbonyl compounds and arylzinc reagents. The reaction works with primary, secondary, and tertiary α-halocarbonyl molecules, and electronically varied arylzinc reagents. The reaction generates γ,γ-diarylcarbonyl derivatives with α-secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbon centers. The products can be readily converted to aryltetralones, including a precursor to Zoloft, an antidepressant drug.

The development of mild and practical methods for the ?-arylation of carbonyl compounds is an ongoing challenge in organic synthesis. The first formal ?-arylation of carbonyl compounds via radical relay cross-coupling of α-bromocarbonyl precursors with bo

Towards assembling of diarylmethine unit present in biologically important molecules, we have developed a new Weinreb Amide (WA) based building block derived from glycolic acid. The WA functionality present in this building block permits the sequential addition of various arylmagnesium bromide reagents in a controlled manner that enables assembly of a diarylmethine unit. The developed synthetic route provides easy access to important diarylethenes and α,α-diarylethylene glycols. The synthesized α,α-diarylethylene glycols provide access to synthetically important symmetrical and unsymmetrical α,α-diaryl acetaldehydes as valuable intermediates.

Cobalester, a natural nontoxic vitamin B12 derivative, was found to catalyse unusual olefinic sp2 C-H alkylation with diazo reagents as a carbene source instead of the expected cyclopropanation.
Reaction of aromatic nitroso compounds with chemical models of 'thiamine active aldehyde'
Ferreira, Luísa M.,Marques, M. Manuel B.,Glória, Paulo M.C.,Chaves, Humberto T.,Franco, Jo?o-Pedro P.,Mourato, Isabel,Antunes, José-Rafael T.,Rzepa, Henry S.,Lobo, Ana M.,Prabhakar, Sundaresan

Aromatic nitroso compounds in the presence of base and 2-(α-hydroxyalkyl)-3,4-dimethylthiazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate and related salts furnish in variable yields O- and N-acyl-aryl hydroxylamines and 3,4-dimethylthiazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate. A primary kinetic isotope effect of 4.9, obtained for the appropriate 2α-deuterated thiazolium salt, points to the C2α-H bond cleavage as the rate determining step. Radical species detected by ESR were unambiguously identified as phenylhydronitroxide, but attempted trapping of the corresponding C-heterocyclic radicals by TEMPO was not successful, and substrates incorporating a potential cyclopropyl radical clock gave products with the cyclopropyl ring intact. Theoretical calculations revealed a large activation energy for such reaction, which thus cannot per se exclude the intervention of such radical species. Evidence for the likely operation of two concurrent mechanisms, a radical and a preponderant ionic pathway, involving the conjugate base of the thiazolium salt, as the chemical model for 'active thiamine', and ArNO is presented for the formation of the products of the reaction.
