Among the coenzyme B12-dependent enzymes, methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MMCM) catalyzes the carbon-skeleton rearrangement reaction between R-methylmalonyl-CoA and succinyl-CoA. Diethyl 2-bromomethyl-2-phenylmalonate, an alkyl bromide substrate having two different migrating groups (phenyl and carboxylic ester groups) on the β-carbon, was applied to the electrolysis mediated by a hydrophobic vitamin B12 model complex, heptamethyl cobyrinate perchlorate in this study. The electrolysis of the substrate at ? 1.0 V vs. Ag-AgCl by light irradiation afforded the simple reduced product (diethyl 2-methyl-2-phenylmalonate) and the phenyl migrated product (diethyl 2-benzyl-2-phenylmalonate), as well as the electrolysis of the substrate at ? 1.5 V vs. Ag-AgCl in the dark. The electrolysis of the substrate at ? 2.0 V vs. Ag-AgCl afforded the carboxylic ester migrated product (diethyl phenylsuccinate) as the major product. The selectivity for the migrating group was successfully tuned by controlling the electrolysis potential. We clarified that the cathodic chemistry of the Co(III) alkylated heptamethyl cobyrinate is critical for the selectivity of the migrating group through mechanistic investigations and comparisons to the simple vitamin B12 model complex, an imine/oxime-type cobalt complex.

Herein, we report an aryne triggered ring-opening fluorination protocol of a great variety of saturated sulfur heterocycles. A key factor for the success is the identification of a suitable mediator. Compared to previous methods, this transition-metal free protocol employs low-cost potassium fluoride as the fluorine source. The operational simplicity and mild reaction conditions allow for the rapid synthesis of a wide range of aliphatic fluoride compounds in good yields.
Photocatalytic function of the B12 complex with the cyclometalated iridium(III) complex as a photosensitizer under visible light irradiation

A visible light induced three-component catalytic system with the cobalamin derivative (B12) as a catalyst, the cyclometalated iridium(iii) complex (Irdfppy, Irppy, Irpbt and [Ir{dF(CF3)ppy}2(dtbpy)]PF6) as a photosensitizer and triethanolamine as an electron source under N2 was developed. This catalytic system showed a much higher catalytic efficiency than the previous catalytic system using [Ru(ii)(bpy)3]Cl2 as the photosensitizer for the dechlorination reaction of 1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethane (DDT). Noteworthy is the fact that the remarkable high turnover number (over ten thousand) based on B12, which ranks at the top among the reported studies, was obtained when Irdfppy was used as a photosensitizer. This photocatalytic system was also successfully applied to the B12 enzyme-mimic reaction, i.e., the 1,2-migration of the phenyl group of 2-bromomethyl-2-phenylmalonate. The plausible reaction mechanism was proposed, which involved two quenching pathways, an oxidative quenching pathway and a reductive quenching pathway, to be responsible for the initial electron transfer of the excited-state photosensitizers during the DDT dechlorination reaction. Transient photoluminescence experiments revealed that the oxidative quenching of the photosensitizer dominated over the reductive quenching pathway.
Isomerization of olefins triggered by rhodium-catalyzed C-H bond activation: Control of endocyclic β-hydrogen elimination

Five-membered metallacycles are typically reluctant to undergo endocyclic β-hydrogen elimination. The rhodium-catalyzed isomerization of 4-pentenals into 3-pentenals occurs through this elementary step and cleavage of two C-H bonds, as supported by deuterium-labeling studies. The reaction proceeds without decarbonylation, leads to trans olefins exclusively, and tolerates other olefins normally prone to isomerization. Endocyclic β-hydrogen elimination can also be controlled in an enantiodivergent reaction on a racemic mixture.

Phenols, anilines, and malonates have been arylated under metal-free conditions with twelve aryl(phenyl)iodonium salts in a systematic chemoselectivity study. A new "anti-ortho effect" has been identified in the arylation of malonates. Several "dummy groups" have been found that give complete chemoselectivity in the transfer of the phenyl moiety, irrespective of the nucleophile. An aryl exchange in the diaryliodonium salts has been observed under certain arylation conditions. DFT calculations have been performed to investigate the reaction mechanism and to elucidate the origins of the observed selectivities. These results are expected to facilitate the design of chiral diaryliodonium salts and the development of catalytic arylation reactions that are based on these sustainable and metal-free reagents.

A family of congested aryliodanes based on an anti-dimethanoanthracene backbone has been synthesised and two diaryliodonium salts and the iodyl derivative characterised by X-ray analysis. The latter shows a rare water coordination to the iodine(v) centre in the solid state. Applications of these reagents in functional group transfer reactions are reported.

Electrochemical catalytic carbon-skeleton rearrangement mediated by imine/oxime-type B12 model complex

An electrochemical carbon-skeleton rearrangement of methylmalonate skeleton to succinate was successfully mediated by an imine/oxime-type cobalt complex using diethyl 2-bromomethyl-2- phenylmalonate as a model substrate of a coenzyme B12-dependent enzymatic reaction. Cyclic voltammetric and mass spectrometric studies revealed that this electrocatalysis of the alkyl bromide with 1,2-migration of a carboxylic ester group was achieved by the duet redox process between the reduction of the monoalkylated complex and the oxidation of the dialkylated complex.

Unusual Tethering Effects in the Schmidt Reaction of Hydroxyalkyl Azides with Ketones: Cation-π and Steric Stabilization of a Pseudoaxial Phenyl Group
Katz, Christopher E.,Aube, Jeffrey
, p. 13948 - 13949 (2007/10/03)
The Lewis acid-promoted reactions of chiral 2-aryl-3-azido-1-propanols with 4-substituted cyclohexanones lead to iminium ethers and ultimately caprolactams (following a hydrolysis step). In this study, it is shown that these reactions afford variable ratios of products, depending on the electronic nature of the phenyl group. These results are interpreted in the context of a cation?π stabilizing effect in the product-determining reaction intermediate. Remarkably, the best selectivity was obtained when an azidopropanol reagent containing a quaternary center was used; a control experiment showed that the high selectivity observed in this result depended upon the free rotation of the pseudoaxial aromatic group in the intermediate that affords the major product.
