A kinetic study on the pairwise competition reaction of α-diazo esters with rhodium(II) catalysts: Implication for the mechanism of Rh(II)-carbene transfer

The relative rate constants for the Rh(II)-mediated diazo decomposition of a series of para- or mete-substituted diazophenylacetates were measured through intermolecular competition. The kinetic data were further subjected to Hammett correlation analysis

Catalyst-free, scalable heterocyclic flow photocyclopropanation

Industrial process development is driven by several factors, including safety, cost, robustness and environmental aspects. However, attempts to establish aryl diazo esters-which are highly valued in academic research for their reactivity as carbene precur

A Selective C-C Bond Cleavage Strategy Promoted by Visible Light

A new visible-light-promoted reaction between aryldiazoacetates and 1,3-diketones allows good yields and selectivities for C-C bond insertions, leading to the corresponding 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds. This transformation is straightforward and highly practical. It tolerates air and moisture and does not require the use of any metals. Mechanistic investigations support the involvement of a key cyclopropanol intermediate derived from an intramolecular rearrangement.

Access to Bromo-γ-butenolides via Zwitterion-Catalyzed Rearrangement of Cyclopropene Carboxylic Acids

γ-Butenolides are useful structural motifs in many pharmaceutically relevant compounds. In particular, halogenated γ-butenolides are attractive building blocks because the halogen handles can readily be manipulated to give various functional molecules. In

Visible Light-Promoted Sulfoxonium Ylides Synthesis from Aryl Diazoacetates and Sulfoxides

A visible light-promoted reaction of donor/acceptor diazoalkanes with sulfoxides towards the synthesis of synthetically useful sulfoxonium ylides was reported. The reaction occurred under sole visible light irradiation without the need of any transition-metals or additives, affording the corresponding sulfoxonium ylides in moderate to good yields. The success of late-stage modification of natural isolates or drug candidates, scale-up reaction and transformation of sulfoxonium ylides to other useful molecules further rendered the approach valuable.

A 'sulfonyl-azide-free' (SAFE) aqueous-phase diazo transfer reaction for parallel and diversity-oriented synthesis

Diazo transfer reactions are notoriously associated with the use of potentially explosive sulfonyl azides. The first 'sulfonyl-azide-free' (SAFE) protocol for producing diazo compounds from their active-methylene precursors via the Regitz diazo transfer reaction was developed and has displayed a remarkable substrate scope. It can be applied to generating arrays of diazo compounds for further evolution via combinatorial chemistry and a range of scaffold-generating transformations.

Sulfonium ylide formation and subsequent C[sbnd]S bond cleavage of aromatic isopropyl sulfide catalyzed by hemin in aqueous solvent

Heme is an abundant and widely existed cofactor for a variety of metalloenzymes, whose broader use is generally impeded by its high instability and poor solubility. Here we report an environment-benign and efficient strategy for the sulfonium ylide formation and subsequent C[sbnd]S bond cleavage of aromatic isopropyl sulfides, which was catalyzed by hemin in assistance of Triton X-100. This aqueous catalytic system exhibited good functional group tolerance to a variety of sulfides and diazo esters. And the reaction mechanism was preliminarily proposed on the basis of designed reactions. Furthermore, the cleavage of C[sbnd]S bond followed by introducing a functional ester group to aromatic sulfides, may potentially be employed for the late stage functionalization (LSF) of organosulfur drug in the future.

Catalytic Enantio- And Diastereoselective Cyclopropanation of 2-Azadienes for the Synthesis of Aminocyclopropanes Bearing Quaternary Carbon Stereogenic Centers

We report the catalytic enantio- and diastereoselective preparation of aminocyclopropanes by the cyclopropanation of terminal and (Z)-internal 2-azadienes with donor/acceptor carbenes derived from α-diazoesters. The resulting cyclopropanes bear quaternary carbon stereogenic centers vicinal to the amino-substituted carbon and are formed as a single diastereomer in up to 99:1 er and 97% yield with 0.5 mol % of Rh2(DOSP)4 and only 1.5 equiv of the diazo reagent. Transformations with internal azadienes afford cyclopropanes with three contiguous stereogenic centers.

Silica-supported HClO4 promotes catalytic solvent- and metal-free O-H insertion reactions with diazo compounds

Solvent-free O-H insertion reactions in the presence of diazo carbonyl compounds were carried-out in very mild conditions. Unlike the traditional metal-catalysed version, employing rhodium acetate dimer, this method uses eco-friendly silica-supported HClO4 as the catalyst. Only 0.3 mol% of this Br?nsted acid catalyst, that can also be recycled several times, is necessary to guarantee very good yields (up to 97%) in the O-H insertion reactions. Reaction set-up is simple and permitted the preparation of forty-three α-hydroxy and α-alkoxy esters/ketones in just 1 h and at room temperature.

Enantioselective Palladium-Catalyzed Carbene Insertion into the N?H Bonds of Aromatic Heterocycles

C3-substituted indoles and carbazoles react with α-aryl-α-diazoesters under palladium catalysis to form α-(N-indolyl)-α-arylesters and α-(N-carbazolyl)-α-arylesters. The products result from insertion of a palladium-carbene ligand into the N?H bond of the aromatic N-heterocycles. Enantioselection was achieved using a chiral bis(oxazoline) ligand, in many cases with high enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee). The method was applied to synthesize the core of a bioactive carbazole derivative in a concise manner.
