9,10-Dicyanoanthracene Catalyzed Decarboxylative Alkynylation of Carboxylic Acids under Visible-Light Irradiation

A metal-free, visible-light-induced photocatalytic procedure for decarboxylative alkynylation of carboxylic acids was reported. With 9,10-dicyanoanthracene as the photoredox catalyst, the reaction covered a broad scope of α-amino acids, α-oxo acids, and α-keto acids with blue LED irradiation at room temperature under an atmosphere of argon, delivering alkynyl products in moderate to excellent yields. Natural sun light also promoted this alkynylation strategy. This work represents the first example of an organophotocatalytic method for decarboxylative alkynylation of carboxylic acids.

Tosyloxybenziodoxolone: A Platform for Performing the Umpolung of Alkynes in One-Pot Transformations

Ethynylbenziodoxolones (EBXs) are commonly encountered reagents for the electrophilic alkynylation of nucleophiles. Herein, we report a one-pot, two-step process for EBX generation and their direct application in substrate functionalization. Our approach enables us to bypass the originally mandatory isolation and purification of the reagents, resulting in a more efficient synthesis. We could apply this process to seven different transformations involving both two- and one-electron nucleophiles to obtain a large variety of alkynylated products.

Direct Photoexcitation of Ethynylbenziodoxolones: An Alternative to Photocatalysis for Alkynylation Reactions**

Ethynylbenziodoxolones (EBXs) are commonly used as radical traps in photocatalytic alkynylations. Herein, we report that aryl-substituted EBX reagents can be directly activated by visible light irradiation. They act as both oxidants and radical traps, alleviating the need for a photocatalyst in several reported EBX-mediated processes, including decarboxylative and deboronative alkynylations, the oxyalkynylation of enamides and the C?H alkynylation of THF. Furthermore, the method could be applied to the synthesis of alkynylated quaternary centers from tertiary alcohols via stable oxalate salts and from tertiary amines via aryl imines. A photocatalytic process using 4CzIPN as an organic dye was also developed for the deoxyalkynylation of oxalates.

Redox-Activated Amines in C(sp3)-C(sp) and C(sp3)-C(sp2) Bond Formation Enabled by Metal-Free Photoredox Catalysis

The amino group represents one of the most prevalent structural motifs in organic chemistry. Therefore, application of amines as alkylating agents in synthesis is highly compelling. Herein, we present a metal-free photoredox strategy for the formation of C(sp3)-C(sp) and C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds from redox-activated primary amine derivatives. The developed reaction of 2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium salts with alkynyl p-tolylsulfones, leading to functionalized alkynes, is easily scalable and offers broad substrate scope, high chemoselectivity, and mild conditions. Its potential is also highlighted by diversification of complex molecular scaffolds. Additionally, the approach is also suitable for synthesis of (E)-alkenes from vinyl phenyl sulfones. Mechanistic studies contribute to the elucidation of unexpected differences in reactivity of primary and secondary alkyl substituted pyridinium salts.

Decarboxylative Alkynylation and Carbonylative Alkynylation of Carboxylic Acids Enabled by Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis

Visible-light-induced photocatalytic decarboxylative alkynylations of carboxylic acids have been developed for the first time. The reaction features extremely mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and avoids additional oxidants. Importantly, a decarboxy

Visible-light-induced chemoselective deboronative alkynylation under biomolecule-compatible conditions

Here, we report a visible-light-induced deboronative alkynylation reaction, which is redox-neutral and works with primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl trifluoroborates or boronic acids to generate aryl, alkyl and silyl substituted alkynes. This reaction is highly chemoselective and performs well on substrates containing alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes, ketones, esters, nitriles, azides, aryl halides, alkyl halides, alcohols, and indoles, with no detectable occurrence of side reactions. The mechanism of this novel C(sp3)-C(sp) bond coupling reaction was investigated by luminescence quenching, radical trapping, on-off light, and 13C-isotopic-labeling experiments. This reaction can be performed in neutral aqueous conditions, and it is compatible with amino acids, nucleosides, oligosaccharides, nucleic acids, proteins, and cell lysates.
