A benzene-bridged divanadium complex-early transition metal catalyst for alkene alkylarylation with PhI(O2CR)2viadecarboxylation

The synthesis, structure and catalytic activity of a benzene-bridged divanadium complex were comprehensively studied. The reduction of (Nacnac)VCl2(1) (Nacnac = (2,6-iPr2C6H3NCMe)2HC) supported by β-diketiminate with potassium graphite (KC8) by employing benzene as the solvent allows access to the benzene-bridged inverted-sandwich divanadium complex (μ-η6:η6-C6H6)[V(Nacnac)]2(2a), which can catalyze alkene alkylarylation with hypervalent iodine(iii) reagents (HIRs)viadecarboxylation to generate regioselectively diverse indolinones. Furthermore, the mild nature of this reaction was amenable to a wide range of functionalities on alkenes and HIRs. Mechanistic studies revealed a relay sequence of decarboxylative radical alkylation/radical arylation/oxidative re-aromatization.

Catalyst-free and selective trifluoromethylative cyclization of acryloanilides using PhICF3Cl

Trifluoromethylation-triggered cyclization of alkenes provides a useful route to CF3-containing cyclic compounds. Current approaches to generate CF3-based initiators from a CF3 source require a catalyst or an activator. This work describes a catalyst-free protocol to innately produce electrophilic CF3 species from PhICF3Cl for trifluoromethylative cyclization of acryloanilides. A new domino biscyclization of dienes has been developed leading to trifluoroethylated tetrahydroindenoquinolinones with chemo- and stereo-selectivity.

A tethering directing group strategy for ruthenium-catalyzed intramolecular alkene hydroarylation

We report a new catalyst design for N-heterocycle synthesis that utilizes an alkene-tethered amide moiety as a directing group for aromatic C-H activation. This tethering directing group strategy is demonstrated in a ruthenium-catalyzed intramolecular alk

Disulfides as Sulfonylating Precursors for the Synthesis of Sulfone-Containing Oxindoles

The first facile one-pot synthesis of sulfone-containing oxindoles with easily accessible disulfides as the sulfonylating precursors is described. This reaction occurs smoothly under transition metal-free conditions and shows excellent functional group tolerance, allowing the facile and efficient green synthesis of various sulfone-containing oxindoles in aqueous solution. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that both water (H2O) and potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) can be the oxygen source of the sulfone groups in the products. (Figure presented.).

Synthesis of Oxindoles by Bronsted Acid Catalyzed Radical Cascade Addition of Ketones

Oxindoles bearing ketone side chains in the 3-position can be synthesized by Bronsted acid catalysis from N-aryl methacrylamides, ketones, and hydroperoxides. The cyclized products are presumably formed in a radical cascade reaction, initiated by decay of intermediate alkenyl peroxides. In the case of acrylic substrates that do not undergo cyclization, γ-peroxyketones were isolated instead, indicating that the final cyclization step of the cascade does not take place in these cases.

Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis: Direct Synthesis of Sulfonated Oxindoles from N-Arylacrylamides and Arylsulfinic Acids by Means of a Cascade C-S/C-C Formation Process

A novel photocatalytic synthesis of sulfonated oxindoles from N-arylacrylamides and arylsulfinic acids was developed by means of a cascade C-S/C-C bond-formation process. This method provides mild, efficient, and atom-economical access to various sulfonated oxindoles in water. Let there be light! A novel photocatalytic synthesis of sulfonated oxindoles from N-arylacrylamides and arylsulfinic acids was developed by means of a cascade C-S/C-C bond-formation process. This method provides mild, efficient, and atom-economical access to various sulfonated oxindoles in water (see scheme).

Oxidant-Free Rhodium(I)-Catalyzed Difunctionalization of Acrylamide: An Efficient Approach to Synthesize Oxindoles

(Figure Presented) The first rhodium(I)-catalyzed difunctionalization of arylacrylamides to synthesize oxindoles is developed, and it does not require the assistance of an oxidant. This method provides an efficient approach to generate various useful functionalized oxindoles, some of which cannot be easily accessed by previous approaches.

The carbomethylation of arylacrylamides leading to 3-ethyl-3-substituted indolin-2-one by cascade radical addition/cyclization

An FeCl2-promoted carbomethylation of arylacrylamides by di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) is achieved, leading to 3-ethyl-3-substituted indolin-2-one in high yield. The reaction tolerates a series of functional groups, such as cyano, nitro, ethyloxy carbonyl, bromo, chloro, and trifluoromethyl groups. The radical methylation and arylation of the alkenyl group are involved in this reaction. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

Iron-catalyzed aerobic difunctionalization of alkenes: A highly efficient approach to construct oxindoles by C-S and C-C bond formation

A novel iron-catalyzed efficient approach to construct sulfone-containing oxindoles, which play important roles in the structural library design and drug discovery, has been developed. The use of readily available benzenesulfinic acids, an inexpensive iron salt as the catalyst, and air as the oxidant makes this sulfur incorporation protocol very efficient and practical.

Ag-promoted azido-carbocyclization of activated alkenes via C - H bond cleavage

A sliver of silver: An efficient silver-promoted azido-carbocyclization of activated alkenes via a radical pathway has been developed. Azido oxindoles, which hold great potential for subsequent transformation of the azido unit, are efficiently constructed by this protocol. Radical addition and C - H functionalization processes are involved in this transformation with the formation of C - N and C - C bonds. Silver is observed to promote the single-electron oxidation process. Copyright
