Alkynyl aziridines can be obtained from the catalytic asymmetric aziridination (AZ reaction) of alkynyl imines with diazo compounds in high yields and high asymmetric inductions mediated by a chiral boroxinate or BOROX catalyst. In contrast to the AZ reaction with aryl- and alkyl-substituted imines, alkynyl imines react to give cis-substituted aziridines with both diazo esters and diazo acetamides. Remarkably, however, the two diazo compounds give different enantiomers of the cis-aziridine from the same enantiomer of the catalyst. Theoretical considerations of the possible transition states for the enantiogenic step reveal that the switch in enantiomers results from a switch from Si-face to Re-face addition to the imine, which in turn is related to a switch from reaction with an E-imine in the former and a Z-isomer of the imine in the latter. The imine did it: The aziridination of alkynyl imines with diazo esters and diazo acetamides gives cis-aziridines with very high enantioselectivities. The absolute configuration of the cis-aziridine is reversed for the two diazo compounds even though the same enantiomer of the catalyst is used. The alkynyl imines can isomerize under the reaction conditions and the enantiomeric switch is proposed to result from the preferential reaction of E-imine with diazo esters and Z-imines with diazo acetamides.

Endergonic isomerizations are thermodynamically unfavored processes that are difficult to realize under thermal conditions. We report a photocatalytic and diastereoselective isomerization of acyclic cinnamyl chlorides to strained cyclopropanes. Quantum mechanical calculations (uM06-2X and DLPNO), including TD-DFT calculations, and experimental studies provide evidence for the energy transfer from an iridium photocatalyst to the allylic chloride substrate followed by C-Cl homolytic cleavage. Subsequent Cla￠ radical migration forms a localized triplet 1,3-diradical intermediate that, after intersystem crossing, undergoes ring-closing to form the desired product. The mild reaction conditions are compatible with a broad range of functional groups to generate chlorocyclopropanes in high yields and diastereoselectivities. A more efficient process is developed by addition of a catalytic amount of a nickel complex, and we propose a novel role for this cocatalyst to recycle an allyl chloride byproduct generated in the course of the reaction. The reaction is also shown to be stereoconvergent, as an E/Z mixture of cinnamyl chlorides furnish the anti-chlorocyclopropane product in high diastereoselectivity. We anticipate that the use of a visible light activated photocatalyst to transform substrates in combination with a transition metal catalyst to recycle byproducts back into the catalytic cycle will provide unique opportunities for the discovery of new reactivity.

For the first time a magnetic carbon based hybrid catalyst, Pd@g-C3N4-Fe-GO, is prepared through covalent conjugation of magnetic graphitic carbon nitride and graphene oxide followed by incorporation of Pd nanoparticles. First, the formation of the catalyst was confirmed via XRD, TG, BET, TEM, FTIR, ICP and VSM analyses and then its catalytic activity for promoting Suzuki and Sonogashira coupling reactions under mild reaction condition was investigated. To elucidate whether hybridization of two carbon materials could improve the catalytic activity, the catalytic activity of the catalyst was compared with the control catalysts (Pd@g-C3N4 -GO, Pd@g-C3N4-Fe, Pd@ Fe-GO, Pd@g-C3N4, Pd@GO and the GO/g-C3N4 physical hybrid). Moreover, the role of magnetic nanoparticles in the catalytic performance was confirmed. Notably, the catalytic activities of the catalyst and the control sample prepared via physical hybridization of two carbon materials were compared to confirm the effect of covalent conjugation on the catalytic activity. Moreover, the study of the substituent effect of p-substituted phenyl iodides was considered by Hammett plot, which revealed a beneficial effect of electron-withdrawing side groups for the C–C coupling reaction. Finally, the recyclability of Pd@g-C3N4-Fe-GO as well as leaching of Pd and magnetic nanoparticles was studied.
