Photoinduced, Copper-Catalyzed Three-Component Annulation of gem-Dialkylthio Enynes

Photoinduced, copper-catalyzed three-component radical annulation of gem-dialkylthio enynes, cyclobutanone oxime esters, and boronic acids was achieved, forming highly functionalized aryl thienyl sulfides with both good chemo- and diastereoselectivities. The reaction proceeds through a domino sequence involving cyanoalkyl radical-mediated intramolecular annulation of gem-dialkylthio enyne, alkenyl radical-promoted C(sp3)-S bond cleavage, and sulfur-centered radical-trapped Cu(II)-facilitated C-S cross-coupling. The protocol features simultaneous establishment of cyanoalkyl, cyclopentanone, and thiophene moieties and a thioether C-S bond in one pot with broad substrate scopes and versatile functional group tolerance under mild conditions.

Photocatalytic Neophyl Rearrangement and Reduction of Distal Carbon Radicals by Iminyl Radical-Mediated C?C Bond Cleavage

The control of selectivity in the reactions of the highly reactive open-shell carbon radicals is an attractive but often challenging task. Building on the strategy of photoinduced iminyl radical-mediated C?C bond cleavage, we have developed photocatalytic neophyl rearrangement and reduction of distal carbon radicals under visible light irradiation of O-acyl oximes. This mild protocol tolerates a wide range of readily available O-acyl oximes, enabling facile synthesis of diversely substituted α,β-unsaturated nitriles and β-functionalized saturated nitriles in a highly selective manner. (Figure presented.).

Copper-Catalyzed Sulfonylation of Cyclobutanone Oxime Esters with Sulfonyl Hydrazides

A copper-catalyzed radical cross-coupling of cyclobutanone oxime esters with sulfonyl hydrazides has been developed. The copper-based catalytic system proved crucial for cleavage of the C-C bond of cyclobutanone oximes and for selective C-S bond-formation involving persistent sulfonyl-metal radical intermediates. This protocol is distinguished by the low-cost catalytic system, which does not require ligand, base, or toxic cyanide salt, and by the use of readily accessible starting materials, as well as broad substrate scope, providing an efficient approach to various diversely substituted cyano-containing sulfones.

Metal-free chalcogenation of cycloketone oxime esters with dichalcogenides

We report the metal-free chalcogenation of cycloketone oxime esters with dichalcogenides via a radical process. Because of the metal-free condition and use of readily accessible dichalcogenides, this method is an effective and green strategy for the synthesis of chalcogen-substituted butyronitrile.

Visible-Light-Promoted Selenocyanation of Cyclobutanone Oxime Esters Using Potassium Selenocyanate

We report the visible-light-promoted selenocyanation of cyclobutanone oxime esters using potassium selenocyanate in the presence of a fac-Ir(ppy)3 catalyst for the first time. Because of the mild conditions employed and use of readily accessible potassium selenocyanate, this method is an effective and green strategy for the synthesis of cyano and selenocyano bifunctional substituted alkanes.

Nickel-Catalyzed Favorskii-Type Rearrangement of Cyclobutanone Oxime Esters to Cyclopropanecarbonitriles

A nickel-catalyzed base-promoted rearrangement of cyclobutanone oxime esters to cyclopropanecarbonitriles was developed. The ring opening of cyclobutanone oxime esters occurs at the sterically less hindered side. A base-promoted nickelacyclobutane intermediate, formed in situ, is assumed to be involved in the formation of the product.

Synthesis of Highly Substituted Cyclopropanes via the Quasi-Favorskii Rearrangement of α,α-Dichlorocyclobutanols

A method for the synthesis of highly substituted cyclopropanes via a quasi-Favorskii rearrangement is described. The method includes the combination two chemical transformations starting from α,α-dichlorocyclobutanones prepared via the [2 + 2] Staudinger ketene cycloaddition between either terminal- or cis-olefins and dichloroketene. First, α,α-dichlorocyclobutanones are reacted with organocerium reagents to afford the corresponding tertiary alcohols in good to excellent yields through a nucleophilic addition reaction that provided exclusively anti-products. Second, upon irreversible deprotonation, the tertiary α,α-dichlorocyclobutanols underwent a ring-contraction reaction (i.e., quasi-Favorskii rearrangement) to form structurally diverse cyclopropanes in moderate to good yields. The syn-stereoselectivity during the quasi-Favorskii rearrangement was evaluated using DFT analysis.

Metal-Free sp3 C-SCF3 Coupling Reactions between Cycloketone Oxime Esters and S-trifluoromethyl 4-Methylbenzenesulfonothioate

A novel sp3 C-SCF3 coupling reaction between cycloketone oxime esters and S-trifluoromethyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonothioate was achieved. Ethanol was found to facilitate this transformation by trapping the sulfonyl cation. The metal-free and photocatalyst-free reaction conditions, as well as the broad substrate scope, make this a green protocol for the synthesis of SCF3-substituted nitriles.

Copper-Catalyzed Radical C-C Bond Cleavage and [4+1] Annulation Cascade of Cycloketone Oxime Esters with Enaminothiones

Carbon-carbon bond formation is among the most important reactions in organic synthesis. Reconstruction of a carbon-carbon bond through ring-opening C-C bond cleavage of a strained carbocycle usually occurs via a thermodynamically preferable pathway. However, carbon-carbon bond formation through thermodynamically less favorable C-C bond cleavage has seldom been documented. Herein, we disclose an unusual C-C bond cleavage of cycloketone oxime esters for [4+1] annulation. Under anaerobic copper(I) catalysis, cycloketone oxime esters underwent regioselective, thermodynamically less favorable radical C-C bond cleavage followed by annulation with enaminothiones; that is, α-thioxo ketene N,S-acetals efficiently affording 2-cyanoalkyl-aminothiophene derivatives. Cyclobutanone, -pentanone, -hexanone, and -heptanone oxime esters could act as the effective C1 building blocks in the annulation reaction. An iminyl radical mechanism is proposed for the rare C-C bond cleavage/[4+1] annulation cascade.

Copper-catalyzed ring-opening C(sp3)-N coupling of cycloketone oxime esters: Access to 1°, 2° and 3° alkyl amines

A novel copper-catalyzed C(sp3)-N coupling of cycloketone oxime esters with nitrogen nucleophiles has been realized. All of the N-aryl/alkylanilines, anilines and benzophenone imine could be employed in this protocol to produce a variety of 1°, 2° and 3° alkyl amines in one or two steps. These resultant cyano-containing alkyl amines were proven to be versatile synthetic building blocks in a variety of chemical transformations.
