A Radical-Initiated Fragmentary Rearrangement Cascade of Ene-Ynamides to [1,2]-Annulated Indoles via Site-Selective Cyclization

Straightforward access to [1,2]-annulated indoles, key substructures in natural products, is highly desirable yet challenging. Herein, a radical triggered fragmentary cyclization cascade reaction of ene-ynamides is presented, providing a rapid access into [1,2]-annulated indoles by an intermolecular radical addition, intramolecular cyclization, desulfonylative aryl migration, and site-selective C(sp2)-N cyclization sequence. DFT calculations support oxidation of N-centered radical species to cations prior to the C-N bond formation, followed by an unusual aza-Nazarov cyclization.

The hydrodebromination of 1,1-dibromoalkenes via visible light catalysis

Vinyl bromides are versatile synthetic intermediates and widely applied in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. Herein, a hydrodebromination reaction of 1,1-dibromoalkenes was established via visible light catalysis. A variety of structurally different vinyl bromides were obtained in moderate to excellent yields.

Cs2CO3-Mediated Vicinal Thiosulfonylation of 1,1-Dibromo-1-Alkenes with Thiosulfonates: An Expedient Synthesis of (E)-1,2-Thiosulfonylethenes

A new and highly efficient vicinal thiosulfonylation of 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes with thiosulfonates in the presence of cesium carbonate has been developed. The metal-free diheterofunctionalization is an operationally simple to access a wide range of (E)-1,2-thiosulfonylethenes (α-aryl-β-thioarylvinyl sulfones) in moderate to high yields with high levels of stereoselectivities. Further, scalable reactions have been demonstrated for this transformation, thus illustrating its efficiency and practicality. (Figure presented.).

Efficient Access to Chiral β-Borylated Carboxylic Esters via Rh-Catalyzed Hydrogenation

Rh/bisphosphine?thiourea ligand (ZhaoPhos)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of (Z)-β-substituted-β-boryl-α,β-unsaturated esters was successfully developed, furnishing a variety of chiral β-borylated carboxylic esters with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield and >99% ee). The gram-scale asymmetric hydrogenation was performed efficiently in the presence of only 0.05 mol% (S/C=2 000) catalyst loading with full conversion, 99% yield and 99% ee. Moreover, the hydrogenation product was easily converted to other versatile synthetic intermediates, such as methyl (S)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate and methyl (S)-3-(furan-2-yl)-3-phenylpropanoate. (Figure presented.).

Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of 1,4-Keto-Alkenylboronate Esters and 1,4-Dicarbonyls

A catalytic enantioselective method for the synthesis of 1,4-keto-alkenylboronate esters by a rhodium-catalyzed conjugate addition pathway is disclosed. A variety of novel, bench-stable alkenyl gem-diboronate esters are synthesized. These easily accessible reagents react smoothly with a collection of cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones, generating a new C?C bond and stereocenter. Products are isolated in up to 99 % yield with greater than 20:1 E/Z and greater than 99:1 e.r. Mechanistic studies show the site-selectivity of transmetalation and reactivity is ligand dependent. The utility of the approach is highlighted by gram-scale synthesis of enantioenriched cyclic 1,4-diketones, and stereoselective transformations of the products by hydrogenation, allylation, and isomerization.

Visible Light-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Alkynylation of Arenediazonium Salts with Alkynyl Carboxylic Acids: Direct Access to Aryl Alkynes by Organic Photoredox Catalysis

A convenient method mediated by photoredox catalysis is developed for the direct construction of aryl alkynes. Readily available aromatic diazonium salts have been utilized as the aryl radical source to couple alkynyl carboxylic acids to feature the decarboxylative arylation. A wide range of substrates are amenable to this protocol with broad functional group tolerance, and diversely-functionalized aryl alkynes could be synthesized under mild, neutral and transition metal-free reaction conditions using visible light irradiation. Alongside synthetic sustainability associated with the photocatalytic and transition metal-free operation, another key point of this method is that the organic dye catalyst acts as an excited-state reductant, thus establishing the quenching cycle for radical addition and decarboxylative elimination. (Figure presented.).

Rh-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of β-Substituted-β-thio-α,β-unsaturated Esters: Expeditious Access to Chiral Organic Sulfides

Rh/bifunctional bisphosphine-thiourea ligand (ZhaoPhos)-catalyzed asymmetric hydorgenation of both (Z)- and (E)-isomers of β-substituted-β-thio-α,β-unsaturated esters was successfully developed. This new asymmetric catalytic methodology provided highly efficient access to two enantiomers of chiral organic sulfides ethyl β-substituted-β-thio-propanoates with excellent results (up to 99% yield and >99% ee for (Z)-substrates, up to 99% yield and 98% ee for (E)-substrates, TON up to 5000), which are important intermediates in organic synthesis.

Synthesis of o-Allyloxy(ethynyl)benzene Derivatives by Cu-Catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura-Type Reaction and Their Transformations into Heterocyclic Compounds

We have found that Suzuki–Miyaura-type reactions of o-allyloxy(bromoethynyl)benzenes with arylboronic acids using a hydrazone/Cu catalyst system proceeded smoothly in iPrOH under mild conditions to afford the corresponding o-allyloxy(arylethynyl)benzene derivatives in good yields without decomposition of the allyloxy group. We have further demonstrated that annulation and enyne metathesis of the o-allyloxy(arylethynyl)benzene derivatives using transition-metal catalysts led to various heterocyclic compounds.

[Cu]-catalyzed direct coupling of dibromoalkenes: Synthesis of symmetrical 1,3-diynes and triazoles

An efficient [Cu]-catalyzed homocoupling of 1,1-dibromoalk-1-enes is described for the synthesis of symmetrical 1,3-diyines. The method showed good substrate scope and amenable to aryl and heteroaryl systems. Significantly, the strategy was also successfully applied to the sequential one-pot synthesis of triazoles.
