Homolytic carbostannylation of alkenes and alkynes with tributylstannyl enolates

matrix presented In the presence of AIBN, tributylstannyl enolates derived from aromatic ketones reacted with electron-deficient alkenes and a variety of alkynes to give the corresponding carbostannylated adducts. The reactions with methyl acrylate gave α-tributylstannylmethyl-γ-ketoesters, unlike the known Michael-type reaction of stannyl enolates forming δ-ketoesters. The carbostannylation of alkynes proceeded in an anti addition mode to afford β,γ-unsaturated ketones. The reactivity of stannyl enolates as radical transfer agents could be utilized for radical cyclization of 1,6-enynes.

Visible-Light-Promoted Synthesis of α-CF2H-Substituted Ketones by Radical Difluoromethylation of Enol Acetates

An efficient and novel visible-light-promoted radical difluoromethylation of enol acetates for the synthesis of α-CF2H-substituted ketones has been described. Upon irradiation under blue LED with catalytic amounts of fac-Ir(ppy)3, this photocatalytic procedure employs difluoromethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide as a radical precursor. Various α-CF2H-substituted ketones are successfully created via designed systems based on the SET process. The methodology has also provided an operationally simple process with broad functional group compatibility.

Synthesis of 1,4-Dicarbonyl Compounds by Visible-Light-Mediated Cross-Coupling Reactions of α-Chlorocarbonyls and Enol Acetates

Herein, we report a protocol for visible-light-mediated radical coupling reactions of α-chloroketones and enol acetates to afford 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds, which are important precursors and intermediates in organic synthesis. The reaction involves photoredox-catalyzed activation of the α-chloroketone upon photoelectron transfer, carbon–chlorine bond cleavage, and coupling of the resulting radical with the carbon–carbon double bond of the enol acetate. This mild protocol has a wide substrate scope and moderate to good yields. (Figure presented.).

Carboxylic acid addition to terminal alkynes utilizing ammonium tagged Hoveyda-Grubbs catalyst supported on magnetically separable core/shell silica: A highly reusable and air compatible catalytic system

In this study, the performance of ammonium tagged Hoveyda-Grubbs catalyst supported on magnetically separable core/shell silica gel was tested on carboxylic acid addition reactions to terminal alkynes using a variety of carboxylic acid derivatives under air atmosphere. The catalytic system was found to be compatible with air atmosphere and can tolerate even non-degassed solvents. The reaction parameters such as temperature, substrate/catalyst ratio and the effect of carboxylic acid on the selectivity and yield of the reaction were investigated in details. The reaction of arylacetylenes with acetic acid yielded the corresponding E-isomer with conversion values up to 99% with a catalytic loading of 1% Ru. The reusability of the catalyst was tested using acetic acid/benzoic acid and phenylacetylene in toluene at 85 °C under air atmosphere. The catalyst was found to be highly reusable and maintained its activity up to 11th run, reaching a conversion value of 83% with minimum ruthenium leaching.

Visible light induced C-H monofluoroalkylation to synthesize 1,4-unsaturated compound

We developed a method to synthesize fluorinated 1,4-unsaturated dicarbonyl compounds via photoredox catalyzed radical addition process. Commercially available ethyl bromodifluoroacetate (BrCF2CO2Et) as fluoroalkyl source, the corresponding fluoro-containing dicarbonyl compounds could be obtained in moderate to good yields.

Reductive Coupling between C-N and C-O Electrophiles

The cross-electrophile reaction is a promising strategy for C-C bond formation. Recent studies have focused mainly on reactions with organic halides. Here we report a coupling reaction between C-N and C-O electrophiles that demonstrates the possibility of constructing a C-C bond via C-N and C-O cleavage. Several reactions between benzyl/aryl ammonium salts and vinyl/aryl C-O electrophiles have been studied. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that the benzyl ammoniums were activated through a radical mechanism.

Ag2CO3-mediated direct functionalization of alkyl nitriles: Facile synthesis of γ-ketonitriles through nitrile alkylation of enol acetates

Direct C(sp3)-H functionalization of alkyl nitriles is a low toxic and facile route to nitrile-containing compounds. In this research, the Ag2CO3-mediated nitrile methylenation of enol acetates is developed to prepare γ-ketonitriles through the direct C(sp3)-H oxidative functionalization of acetonitrile. A radical pathway is proposed, and acetonitrile serves both as solvent and CN-containing radical source.

Salicylic Acid-Catalyzed Arylation of Enol Acetates with Anilines

α-Aryl ketones are both structure moieties commonly found in bioactive compounds and versatile synthetic intermediates for the preparation of drug-like molecules. An operationally simple and scalable protocol has been developed to prepare α-aryl ketones from readily available aromatic amines and enol acetates (or silyl enol ethers). This metal-free methodology features the use of salicylic acid as a convenient catalyst to promote the formation of aryl radicals from in-situ generated aryl diazonium salts, without demanding thermal or photochemical activation. The mild reaction conditions used are compatible with anilines substituted with diverse functionalities. Structural elaboration of some prepared α-aryl ketones was accomplished to illustrate their usefulness as building blocks. (Figure presented.).

Synthesis of 1,4-Diketones from β-Oxo Esters and Enol Acetates by Cerium-Catalyzed Oxidative Umpolung Reaction

Cyclic β-oxo esters are converted with enol acetates in a cerium-catalyzed, oxidative Umpolung reaction to furnish 1,4-diketones with up to 95 % yield. Atmospheric oxygen is the oxidant in this process, which can be regarded as ideal from economic and ecological points of view. Further advantages of this new C-C coupling reaction are its operational simplicity and the application of nontoxic and inexpensive CeCl3·7H2O as precatalyst.

Iron-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Alkenyl Acetates

Stable C-O linkages are generally unreactive in cross-coupling reactions which mostly employ more electrophilic halides or activated esters (triflates, tosylates). Acetates are cheap and easily accessible electrophiles but have not been used in cross-couplings because the strong C-O bond and high propensity to engage in unwanted acetylation and deprotonation. Reported herein is a selective iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of diverse alkenyl acetates, and it operates under mild reaction conditions (0 C, 2 h) with a ligand-free catalyst (1-2 mol%). Iron clad: Acetates are underutilized electrophiles in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions because of the strong alkenyl C-O bond and their propensity to engage in unwanted reactions. Combination of a ligand-free low-valent Fe catalyst with nucleophilic organomagnesium reagents, low temperature, and short reaction times results in highly selective cross-couplings with alkenyl acetates.
