An alternative asymmetric synthesis of ropivacaine and analogues employing the 'cation pool' strategy and host/guest supramolecular co-catalysis approach is presented. In this study, chiral auxiliaries, several soft nucleophiles as well as one-pot conditions for anodic oxidation, followed by nucleophilic addition, have been applied.

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.

Inspired by the reaction mechanism of photo-induced DNA cleavage in nature, a C(sp3)?H cyanation reaction promoted by visible-light photoredox/phosphate hybrid catalysis was developed. Phosphate radicals, generated by one-electron photooxidation of phosphate salt, functioned as a hydrogen-atom-transfer catalyst to produce nucleophilic carbon radicals from C(sp3)?H bonds with a high bond-dissociation energy. The resulting carbon radicals were trapped by a cyano radical source (TsCN) to produce the C?H cyanation products. Due to the high functional-group tolerance and versatility of the cyano group, the reaction will be useful for realizing streamlined building block syntheses and late-stage functionalization of drug-like molecules.
