Acridine Orange Hemi(Zinc Chloride) Salt as a Lewis Acid-Photoredox Hybrid Catalyst for the Generation of α-Carbonyl Radicals

A readily accessible organic-inorganic hybrid catalyst is reported for the reductive fragmentation of α-halocarbonyl compounds. The robust hybrid catalyst is a self-stabilizing combination of ZnCl2 Lewis acid and acridine orange as the photoactive organic dye. Mechanistic specifics of this hybrid catalyst have been studied in detail using both photophysical and electrochemical experiments. A systematic study enabled the discovery of the appropriate Lewis acid for the effective LUMO stabilization of α-halocarbonyl compounds and thereby lowering of reduction potential within the range of a standard organic dye. This strategy resolves the issues like dehalogenative hydrogenation or homo-coupling of alkyl radicals by guiding the photoredox cycle through an oxidative quenching pathway. The cooperativity between the photoactive organic dye and the Lewis acid counterparts empowers functionalization with a wide range of coupling partners through efficient and controlled generation of alkyl radicals and serves as an appropriate alternative to the expensive late transition metal-based photocatalysts. To demonstrate the application potential of this cooperative catalytic system, four different synthetic transformations of α-carbonyl bromides were explored with broad substrate scopes.

Photoinduced Hydroarylation and Cyclization of Alkenes with Luminescent Platinum(II) Complexes

Photoinduced hydroarylation of alkenes is an appealing synthetic strategy for arene functionalization. Herein, we demonstrated that aryl radicals generated from electron-deficient aryl chlorides/bromides could be trapped by an array of terminal/internal aryl alkenes in the presence of [Pt(O^N^C^N)] under visible-light (410 nm) irradiation, affording anti-Markovnikov hydroarylated compounds in up to 95 % yield. Besides, a protocol for [Pt(O^N^C^N)]-catalyzed intramolecular photocyclization of acrylanilides to give structurally diverse 3,4-dihydroquinolinones has been developed.

Light-induced BiOBr nanosheets accelerated highly regioselective intermolecular trifluoromethylation/arylation of alkenes to synthesize CF3-containing aza-heterocycles

A light-induced, BiOBr nanosheets accelerated intermolecular one-pot tandem trifluoromethylation/arylation of alkenes was presented. With this method, a series of CF3-containing aza-heterocycles with high selectivity were fabricated in moderate to good yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that the exceptional transformation was originated from the synergistic effect of photogenerated electrons and holes. Density function theory (DFT) was adopted to understand the high selectivity of this photocatalytic chemical transformation.

Metal-free nitro-carbocyclization of activated alkenes: A direct approach to synthesize oxindoles by cascade C-N and C-C bond formation

A novel and direct metal-free nitro-carbocyclization of activated alkenes leading to valuable nitro-containing oxindoles via cascade C-N and C-C bond formation has been developed. The mechanistic study indicates that the initial NO and NO2 radical addition and the following C-H functionalization processes are involved in this transformation.

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

Metal-free synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted oxoindoles by iodine(III)-catalyzed bromocarbocyclizations

"I" did it: An iodine(III)-mediated bromocarbocyclization was elaborated as an efficient tool for the synthesis of oxoindoles. This method is applicable to a variety of structurally different substrates, also with chemically sensitive groups, and gives access to the heterocycles in a regio- and stereoselective fashion (see scheme). The indole-2-ones obtained can be converted easily into structurally complex target compounds, such as the alkaloid physostigmine. Copyright
