Aryl Pyrazoles from Photocatalytic Cycloadditions of Arenediazonium

A photocatalytic synthesis of 1,5-diaryl pyrazoles from arenediazoniums and arylcyclopropanols is reported. The reaction proceeded under mild conditions (rt, 20 min) with catalytic [Ru(bpy)3]2+ under blue-light irradiation and exhibited compatibility with several functional groups (e.g., I, SF5, SO2NH2, N3, CN) and perfect levels of regiocontrol. Mechanistic studies (luminescence spectroscopy, CV, DFT, radical trapping, quantum yield determination) documented an initial oxidative quenching of the excited photocatalyst and the operation of a radical-chain mechanism.

β-Diazocarbonyl Compounds: Synthesis and their Rh(II)-Catalyzed 1,3 C?H Insertions

Herein, we describe the first electrophilic diazomethylation of ketone silyl enol ethers with diazomethyl-substituted hypervalent iodine reagents that gives access to unusual β-diazocarbonyl compounds. The potential of this unexplored class of diazo compounds for the development of new reactions was demonstrated by the discovery of a rare Rh-catalyzed intramolecular 1,3 C?H carbene insertion that led to complex cyclopropanes with excellent stereocontrol.

Palladium-Catalyzed [5 + 2] Annulation of Vinylethylene Carbonates with Barbiturate-Derived Alkenes

A palladium/XantPhos-catalyzed [5 + 2] annulation of VECs with electron-deficient alkenes having an isolated carbon-carbon double bond has been developed to afford spirobarbiturate-tetrahydrooxepines. This study provides an expedient assembly of biologically interesting spirobarbiturate-tetrahydrooxepines. The easy scalability and versatile transformability of the reaction products were also exhibited.

Enantioselective N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Synthesis of Functionalized Indenes

An enantioselective NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) catalyzed synthesis of indenes from bifunctional α,β-unsaturated acyl fluorides and TMS enol ethers has been discovered. The reaction has broad generality (31 examples) and proceeds with high levels of enantioselectivity (most >92:8 er). Mechanistically the reaction likely occurs via a Michael/β-lactonization/decarboxylation sequence. Derivatization studies and limitations are discussed.

A highly enantioselective hydrogenation of silyl enol ethers catalyzed by chiral frustrated lewis pairs

Using a simple combination of tri-tert-butylphosphine and chiral borane generated in situ by the hydroboration of chiral diene with HB(C 6F5)2 as a frustrated Lewis pair catalyst, a highly enantioselective metal-free hydrogenation of silyl enol ethers was successfully realized to furnish a variety of optically active secondary alcohols in 93-99% yields with 88->99% ees.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of o-alkoxy-substituted arylenamides

A series of (2-alkoxyaryl)glycinols have been prepared in up to 97.8% ee by asymmetric hydrogenation with cationic rhodium Me-BPE or Me-DuPhos complexes. Others have shown that the presence of ortho substituents on related α-arylenamides causes a decrease in enantioselectivity. However, in this study it was found that o-alkoxy α-arylenamides were reduced with high enantioselectivity irrespective of substituent size.

A Topliss tree analysis of the HIV-protease inhibitory activity of 6- phenyl-4-hydroxy-pyran-2-ones

In a study of 4-hydroxy-pyran-2-ones as possible inhibitors of HIV protease, a series of compounds were synthesized following the Topliss operational scheme for substitution on a phenyl group at the 6 position of the pyrone. In addition, a number of compounds with polar substituents were made.

Thermal addition reaction of aroylketene with 1-aryl-1- trimethylsilyloxyethylenes: Aromatic substituent effects of aroylketene and aryltrimethylsilyloxyethylene on their reactivity

The thermal addition reaction of various aroylketenes (C) generated by the thermolysis of 5-aryldioxofurans (A) to 1-aryl-1-trimethylsilyloxyethylenes gave 1,5-diarylpentane-1,3,5-triones (D) and 2,6-diaryl-4H-pyran-4-ones (E). The introduction of electron withdrawing substituents in the aroylketene and of electron donating substituents facilitated the addition reaction. The observed substituent effects and the reaction mechanism are interpreted in terms of molecular orbital analyses.
