Chemoselective Access to γ-Ketoesters with Stereogenic Quaternary α-Center or γ-Keto Nitriles by Aerobic Reaction of α-Cyanoesters and Styrenes
Zhang, Song-Lin,Wang, Xian-Jin,Yu, Ze-Long
, p. 3139 - 3142 (2017)
Chemoselective access to either γ-ketoesters with a quaternary all-carbon α-stereogenic center or γ-keto nitriles is described by copper-catalyzed aerobic reaction of styrenes with α-cyanoesters. Formal oxo-enolation or oxo-cyanomethylation of styrenes is achieved via a sequence of addition of enolate (or cyanomethyl) radical to olefin and oxidation of the resulting radical adduct. This method starts from abundant and cheap feedstock under aerobic conditions, without any prefunctionalization or the production of stoichiometric metal salts waste, making it very attractive for practical use.

The first example of the Pd-catalyzed addition of organoboron reagents to dinitriles, as an efficient means of preparing 2,5-diarylpyrroles and 2,6-diarylpyridines, has been discussed here. Furthermore, the highly selective carbopalladation of dinitriles with organoboron reagents to give long-chain ketonitriles has been developed as well. Based on the broad scope of substrates, excellent functional group tolerance, and use of commercially available substrates, the Pd-catalyzed addition reaction of arylboronic acid and dinitriles is expected to be significant in future synthetic procedures.

Ag2CO3-mediated direct functionalization of alkyl nitriles: Facile synthesis of γ-ketonitriles through nitrile alkylation of enol acetates
Cheng, Pi,Wang, Wei,Wang, Lin,Zeng, Jianguo,Reiser, Oliver,Liang, Yun
, p. 1408 - 1412 (2019/05/06)
Direct C(sp3)-H functionalization of alkyl nitriles is a low toxic and facile route to nitrile-containing compounds. In this research, the Ag2CO3-mediated nitrile methylenation of enol acetates is developed to prepare γ-ketonitriles through the direct C(sp3)-H oxidative functionalization of acetonitrile. A radical pathway is proposed, and acetonitrile serves both as solvent and CN-containing radical source.

A novel copper-catalyzed decarboxylative oxyalkylation of alkynyl carboxylic acids with ketones and alkylnitriles via direct C(sp3)-H bond functionalization to construct new C-C bonds and C-O double bonds was developed. This transformation is featured by wide functional group compatibility and the use of readily available reagents, thus affording a general approach to ?-diketones and ?-ketonitriles. A possible mechanism is proposed.

Acyl radicals are invaluable intermediates in organic synthesis, however their generation remains challenging. Herein, we present an unprecedented light-driven, cobalt-catalysed method for the generation of acyl radicals from readily available 2-S-pyridyl thioesters. The synthetic potential of this methodology was demonstrated in the Giese-type acylation of activated olefins in the presence of heptamethyl cobyrrinate. This vitamin B12 derivative proved to be the most efficient catalyst in the studied process. The developed method features broad substrate scope (38 examples), good functional group tolerance, and mild reaction conditions. Moreover, it is easily scalable (illustrated on a 20-fold scale-up procedure), enabling its preparative use. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeds via a radical pathway with the key steps involving the formation of an acyl-vitamin B12 complex and subsequent photolysis of the Co?C bond. (Figure presented.).

A copper(i)-catalyzed ring-opening cyanation of cyclopropanols was developed. The reaction provides an alternative method to achieve β-cyano ketones efficiently. This reaction exhibits good functional group compatibility under mild conditions and can be scaled up to the gram scale. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction might go through a free radical process.

The first example of a metal-free unactivated C(sp3)-H bond functionalization of alkyl nitriles with terminal vinylarenes to provide γ-ketonitrile derivatives is described. This protocol features simple operations, a broad substrate scope, and atom and step economy. In addition, Cu-catalyzed C(sp3)-H bond functionalization of azodiisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and analogues with terminal vinylarenes to generate γ-ketonitriles was also studied. A preliminary free-radical pathway was confirmed by capturing an alkyl radical, and a conjugate system was found that can stabilize radical intermediates and be in favor of this transformation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations also provide important evidence of the free-radical pathway.
