Cyclic (alkyl)(amino)silylene (CAASi) 1 has been found to successfully dehydrogenate 1,4-dihydroaromatic compounds containing various substituents to afford the corresponding aromatic compounds. The observed high substrate generality proves 1 to be a potential 1,4-dehydrogenation reagent for organic compounds. For the reaction with 9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene, silylene 1 activated not only benzylic C?H bonds but also aromatic C?H bonds to yield a silaacenaphthene derivative, which is an unprecedented reaction of silylenes. The results of the experimental and computational study of the reaction of CAASi 1 with 9,10-dihydroanthracene and 1,4-cyclohexadiene are consistent with the notion that 1,4-dehydrogenation with CAASi 1 proceeds mainly through a stepwise hydrogen-abstraction mechanism.
Electrosynthesis of N-unsubstituted enaminosulfones from vinyl azides and sodium sulfinates mediated by NH4I

A wide range of N-unsubstituted enaminosulfones were obtained via electrochemical sulfonylation of vinyl azides with sulfonyl radicals generated from sodium sulfinates. The discovery of N-unsubstituted enaminosulfones synthesis is based on a unique ability of the azido group to eliminate the N2 molecule. The process is performed under constant current conditions in an experimentally convenient undivided electrochemical cell equipped with a graphite anode and a stainless steel cathode applying NH4I both as the redox catalyst and the supporting electrolyte.

N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has emerged as a versatile tool in modern synthetic chemistry. Further increasing the complexity, several processes have been introduced that proceed via dual catalysis, where the NHC organocatalyst operates in concert with a second catalytic moiety, significantly enlarging the reaction scope. In biological transformations, multiple catalysis is generally used to access complex natural products. Guided by that strategy, triple catalysis has been studied recently, where three different catalytic modes are merged in a single process. In this Communication, direct α-C-H acylation of various alkenes with aroyl fluorides using NHC, sulfinate, and photoredox cooperative triple catalysis is reported. The method allows the preparation of α-substituted vinyl ketones in moderate to high yields with excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies reveal that these cascades proceed through a sequential radical addition/coupling/elimination process. In contrast to known triple catalysis processes that operate via two sets of interwoven catalysis cycles, in the introduced process, all three cycles are interwoven.
