Electrochemical Ring-Opening Dicarboxylation of Strained Carbon-Carbon Single Bonds with CO2: Facile Synthesis of Diacids and Derivatization into Polyesters

Diacids are important monomers in the polymer industry to construct valuable materials. Dicarboxylation of unsaturated bonds, such as alkenes and alkynes, with CO2 has been demonstrated as a promising synthetic method. However, dicarboxylation of C-C single bonds with CO2 has rarely been investigated. Herein we report a novel electrochemical ring-opening dicarboxylation of C-C single bonds in strained rings with CO2. Structurally diverse glutaric acid and adipic acid derivatives were synthesized from substituted cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes in moderate to high yields. In contrast to oxidative ring openings, this is also the first realization of an electroreductive ring-opening reaction of strained rings, including commercialized ones. Control experiments suggested that radical anions and carbanions might be the key intermediates in this reaction. Moreover, this process features high step and atom economy, mild reaction conditions (1 atm, room temperature), good chemoselectivity and functional group tolerance, low electrolyte concentration, and easy derivatization of the products. Furthermore, we conducted polymerization of the corresponding diesters with diols to obtain a potential UV-shielding material with a self-healing function and a fluorine-containing polyester, whose performance tests showed promising applications.

Iron-catalyzed synthesis of cyclopropanes by in situ generation and decomposition of electronically diversified diazo compounds

The modular synthesis of a variety of trans 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropanes in a safe and user-friendly one-pot iron-catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction is described. Easily synthesized N-nosylhydrazones are used as diazo precursors, allowing the in situ generation of electron-rich diazo compounds under mild reaction conditions and their direct participation in the cyclopropanation reaction.

Olefin cyclopropanation with aryl diazocompounds upon catalysis by a dirhodium(II) complex

A dirhodium(II) complex with N-perfluorooctylsulfonylprolinate ligands is found to catalyze the cyclopropanation of olefins with simple aryl diazomethanes. In contrast to previously reported dirhodium(II) catalysts, the present complex works well not only with very electron-rich olefins such as enol ethers, but also with styrenes. Consequently, the present catalyst allows to prepare functionalized diarylcyclopropanes in moderate yields with good diastereoselectivity for the cis product, whereas the enantioselectivity of the reaction appears negligible.

Ruthenium(I)-catalyzed cyclopropanation reactions with (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane and aryldiazomethanes

The polymeric ruthenium(I) complex [Ru2(CO)4(μ-OAc)2]n is a suitable catalyst for the cyclopropanation of mono-, 1,1- as well as 1,2-disubstituted, and trisubstituted alkenes with (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane, phenyl-diazomethane, and (4-cyanophenyl)diazomethane. Trisubstituted alkenes are cyclopropanated with a remarkable degree of syn-selectivity.
