Reduction of ketones to alcohols using a decaborane/pyrrolidine/cerium(III) chloride system in methanol

Decaborane was found to be an effective agent for the chemoselective reduction of ketones to alcohols in the presence of pyrrolidine and cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate in methanol.

Reaction of Diisobutylaluminum Borohydride, a Binary Hydride, with Selected Organic Compounds Containing Representative Functional Groups

The binary hydride, diisobutylaluminum borohydride [(iBu)2AlBH4], synthesized from diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) and borane dimethyl sulfide (BMS) has shown great potential in reducing a variety of organic functional groups. This unique binary hydride, (iBu)2AlBH4, is readily synthesized, versatile, and simple to use. Aldehydes, ketones, esters, and epoxides are reduced very fast to the corresponding alcohols in essentially quantitative yields. This binary hydride can reduce tertiary amides rapidly to the corresponding amines at 25 °C in an efficient manner. Furthermore, nitriles are converted into the corresponding amines in essentially quantitative yields. These reactions occur under ambient conditions and are completed in an hour or less. The reduction products are isolated through a simple acid-base extraction and without the use of column chromatography. Further investigation showed that (iBu)2AlBH4 has the potential to be a selective hydride donor as shown through a series of competitive reactions. Similarities and differences between (iBu)2AlBH4, DIBAL, and BMS are discussed.

Electrochemical bromofunctionalization of alkenes in a flow reactor

The bromination of organic molecules has been extensively studied to date, yet there is still a demand for safe and sustainable methodologies. Hazardous reagents, selectivity, low atom economy and waste production are the most persisting problems of brominating reagents. The electrochemical oxidation of bromide to bromine is a viable strategy to reduce waste by avoiding chemical oxidants. Furthermore, thein situgeneration of reactive intermediates minimizes the risk of hazardous reagents. In this work, we investigate the electrochemical generation of bromine from hydrobromic acid in a flow electrochemical reactor. Various alkenes could be converted to their corresponding dibromides, bromohydrines, bromohydrin ethers and cyclized products in good to excellent yields.

One-pot synthesis of 4-aryl-2-aminothiazoles from styrenes and thioureas promoted by tribromoisocyanuric acid

A simple and efficient one-pot protocol has been developed for the conversion of styrenes into 4-aryl-2-aminothiazoles using readily available starting materials. Tribromoisocyanuric acid was successfully used for the co-bromination and oxidation of styrenes to give phenacyl bromides, which in the presence of thioureas produced the corresponding 4-aryl-2-aminothiazoles in 48–70% yield. The protocol involves three reactions in one process: a tandem (formation of phenacyl bromides from styrenes) followed by a telescoped (conversion to thiazole) reaction.

Oxidative β-Halogenation of Alcohols: A Concise and Diastereoselective Approach to Halohydrins

β-Halohydrins bearing transformable halo- and hydroxyl groups, are easily converted into various valuable blocks in organic and pharmaceutical synthesis. A diastereoselective β-halogenation of benzylic alcohols was achieved under simple and low-cost conditions, which provided a direct synthesis of β-halohydrins. The simple reaction conditions, easily available reagents, high diastereoselectivities, and additional oxidant-free make this reaction very attractive and practical.

One-pot synthesis of α-bromo- and α-azidoketones from olefins by catalytic oxidation with in situ-generated modified IBX as the key reaction

Simple one-pot protocols for the syntheses of α-bromoketones and α-azidoketones starting from olefins have been developed by employing catalytic oxidation of the intermediary bromohydrins with in situ-generated modified IBX as the key reaction. The improved procedure involves initial formation of bromohydrin by the reaction of olefin with NBS in acetonitrile-water mixture (1:1) at rt followed by oxidation with in situ-generated 3,4,5,6-tetramethyl-2-iodoxybenzoic acid (TetMe-IBX), produced in catalytic amounts from 3,4,5,6-tetramethyl-2-iodobenzoic and Oxone. α-Bromoketones are further converted in the same pot to the corresponding α-azidoketones using NaN3/NaHCO3. The one-pot conversions are versatile for a variety of olefins that include cyclic as well as acyclic aliphatic olefins and electron-rich and electron-deficient styrenes. Chemoselective bromohydroxylation of electron-rich double bond and subsequent oxidation to the α-bromoketone is demonstrated for a substrate that contains both electron-rich and deficient double bonds.

From simple organobromides or olefins to highly value-added bromohydrins: A versatile performance of dimethyl sulfoxide

A novel and efficient direct transformation of secondary bromides or olefins to highly value-added bromohydrins has been disclosed. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a cheap and common solvent, performs its versatile role as a solvent, an essential oxidant, and also as an oxygen source in this bromohydrin synthesis.

Mechanism-guided design of flow systems for multicomponent reactions: Conversion of CO2 and olefins to cyclic carbonates

A mechanism-guided design of a multi-step flow system enabled an efficient general process for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from alkenes and CO 2. The flow system proved to be an ideal platform for multicomponent reactions because it was straightforward to introduce reagents at specific stages without their interacting with each other or with reaction intermediates prone to destruction by them. This system exhibited superior reactivity, increased yield, and broader substrate scope relative to conventional batch conditions and suppressed the formation of undesired byproducts, such as, epoxides and 1,2-dibromoalkanes.

BNBTS More than brominating agent: Green and one-pot route for the C-N bond formation in water from alkenes

In this paper, in addition to introducing efficient method for bromohydrin and bromoether preparation, simple, green and efficient method to C-N bond formation from alkene and N,N'-Dibromo-N,N'-1,2-ethanediyl- bis(ptoluenesulfonamide) [BNBTS] in water was investigated. The reaction between alkenes, β-cyclodexterin, and BNBTS took place in water afterward, by making media basic; it will give the corresponding valuable building blocks in good yields (45-79%).
