Matteson Reaction under Flow Conditions: Iterative Homologations of Terpenes
Kuhwald, Conrad,Kirschning, Andreas
supporting information, p. 4300 - 4304 (2021/05/26)
The Matteson reaction is ideally suited for flow chemistry since it allows iterative homologation of boronate esters. The present study provides accurate data on reaction times of the individual steps of the Matteson reaction, which occurs in less than 10 s in total. The protocol allows terpenes to be (per-)homologated in a controlled manner to yield homo-, bishomo-, and trishomo-terpenols after oxidative workup. The new terpene alcohols are validated with respect to their olfactoric properties.

The iridium(i)-catalyzed hydroboration of equilibrating allylic azides is reported to provide only the anti-Markovnikov product of alk-1-ene isomers in good yields and with good functional group tolerance.

Although the olefin metathesis reaction is a well-known and powerful strategy to get alkenes, this reaction remained highly challenging with fluororalkenes, especially the Cross-Metathesis (CM) process. Our thought was to find an easy accessible, convenient, reactive and post-functionalizable source of fluoroalkene, that we found as the methyl 2-fluoroacrylate. We reported herein the efficient ruthenium-catalyzed CM reaction of various terminal and internal alkenes with methyl 2-fluoroacrylate giving access, for the first time, to trisubstituted fluoroalkenes stereoselectively. Unprecedent TON for CM involving fluoroalkene, up to 175, have been obtained and the reaction proved to be tolerant and effective with a large range of olefin partners giving fair to high yields in metathesis products.

Herein a Mn(i) catalyst bearing a redox-active phenalenyl (PLY) based ligand is reported for the efficient hydrosilylation of esters to alcohols using the inexpensive silane source polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) under mild conditions. Mechanistic investigations suggest a strong ligand-metal cooperation where a ligand-based single electron transfer (SET) process initiates the reaction through Si-H bond activation.
Nickel-Catalyzed 1,2-Carboamination of Alkenyl Alcohols

An alcohol-directed, nickel-catalyzed three-component umpolung carboamination of unactivated alkenes with aryl/alkenylboronic esters and electrophilic aminating reagents is reported. This transformation is enabled by specifically tailored O-(2,6-dimethoxybenzoyl)hydroxylamine electrophiles that suppress competitive processes, including undesired β-hydride elimination and transesterification between the alcohol substrate and electrophile. The reaction delivers the desired 1,2-carboaminated products with generally high regio- and syn-diastereoselectivity and exhibits a broad scope of coupling partners and alkenes, including complex natural products. Various mechanistic experiments and analysis of the stereochemical outcome with a cyclic alkene substrate, as confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis, support alcohol-directed syn-insertion of an organonickel(I) species.
Non-innocent Radical Ion Intermediates in Photoredox Catalysis: Parallel Reduction Modes Enable Coupling of Diverse Aryl Chlorides

We describe a photocatalytic system that elicits potent photoreductant activity from conventional photocatalysts by leveraging radical anion intermediates generated in situ. The combination of an isophthalonitrile photocatalyst and sodium formate promotes diverse aryl radical coupling reactions from abundant but difficult to reduce aryl chloride substrates. Mechanistic studies reveal two parallel pathways for substrate reduction both enabled by a key terminal reductant byproduct, carbon dioxide radical anion.
Alcohol Etherification via Alkoxy Radicals Generated by Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis
Rivero, Alexandra R.,Fodran, Peter,Ondrejková, Alica,Wallentin, Carl-Johan
supporting information, p. 8436 - 8440 (2020/11/03)
A mechanistically divergent method is described that, employing a commercially available hypervalent iodine(III) reagent, generates alkoxy radicals from 1°, 2°, and 3° alcohols and allows their use in the functionalization of C(sp3)-H and C(sp2)-H bonds. This visible-light photoredox catalysis produces alkyl ethers via 1,5/6-hydrogen atom transfer or aryl ethers via 1,5-addition. This mild methodology provides a practical strategy for the synthesis of acetals, orthoesters, tetrahydrofurans, and chromanes.
Design, organocatalytic synthesis, and bioactivity evaluation of enantiopure fluorinated LpxC inhibitors
Brenner-Moyer, Stacey E.,Connell, Nancy D.,Rodríguez-Alvarado, Melanie,Russo, Riccardo
, p. 5867 - 5878 (2020/08/19)
Enantiopure compounds with a strategically incorporated fluorine atom intended to enhance LpxC inhibition have been synthesized using an organocascade fluorination reaction as the key step. These are the first low molecular weight LpxC inhibitors to contain a fluorine atom on a critically important chiral center that is substituted with two pharmacophoric moieties, and were thusly designed to provide new SAR data for this class of compounds. Fluorinated compounds were evaluated against ESKAPE pathogens and exhibited MICs of ≤12.5 μg mL-1 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
