Decarboxylative Cyanation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids via Visible-Light Flavin Photocatalysis

An operationally simple method is disclosed for the decarboxylative cyanation of aliphatic carboxylic acids at room temperature. Riboflavin tetraacetate, which is an inexpensive organic photocatalyst, promotes the oxidation of carboxylic acids upon visible-light activation. After decarboxylation, the generated radicals are trapped by TsCN, yielding the desired nitriles without any further additive, in a redox-neutral process. Importantly, this protocol can be adapted to flow conditions.

A series of dipeptide nitriles with a thienyl alanine in P2 were identified as potent and selective cathepsin C inhibitors. Incorporation of a substituted cyclopropyl moiety in P1 effectively protects these derivatives against hydrolase activity in whole blood.
