Dealkenylative Ni-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Enabled by Tetrazine and Photoexcitation

A new and general method to functionalize the C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond of alkyl and alkene linkages has been developed, leading to the dealkenylative generation of carbon-centered radicals that can be intercepted to undergo Ni-catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-coupling. This one-pot protocol leverages the easily procured alkene feedstocks for organic synthesis with excellent functional group compatibility without the need for a photoredox catalyst.

Selective electrochemical oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons and preparation of mono/multi-carbonyl compounds

A selective electrochemical oxidation was developed under mild condition. Various mono-carbonyl and multi-carbonyl compounds can be prepared from different aromatic hydrocarbons with moderate to excellent yield and selectivity by virtue of this electrochemical oxidation. The produced carbonyl compounds can be further transformed into α-ketoamides, homoallylic alcohols and oximes in a one-pot reaction. In particular, a series of α-ketoamides were prepared in a one-pot continuous electrolysis. Mechanistic studies showed that 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) can interact with catalyst species and generate the corresponding hydrogen-bonding complex to enhance the electrochemical oxidation performance.

Photoredox/nickel-catalyzed hydroacylation of ethylene with aromatic acids

We report a general, practical and scalable hydroacylation reaction of ethylene with aromatic carboxylic acids with the synergistic combination of nickel and photoredox catalysis. Under ambient temperature and pressure, feedstock chemicals such as ethylene can be converted into high-value-added aromatic ketones in moderate to good yields (up to 92%) with reaction time of 2-6 hours.

Palladium-catalyzed room temperature acylative cross-coupling of activated amides with trialkylboranes

A highly efficient acylative cross-coupling of trialkylboranes with activated amides has been effected at room temperature to give the corresponding alkyl ketones in good to excellent yields by using 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropyl)phenylimidazolylidene and 3-chloropyridine co-supported palladium chloride, the PEPPSI catalyst, in the presence of K2CO3 in methyl tert-butyl ether. The scope and limitations of the protocol were investigated, showing good tolerance of acyl, cyano, and ester functional groups in the amide counterpart while halo group competed via the classical Suzuki coupling. The trialkylboranes generated in situ by hydroboration of olefins with BH3 or 9-BBN performed similarly to those separately prepared, making this protocol more practical.

Direct Aldehyde Csp2?H Functionalization through Visible-Light-Mediated Photoredox Catalysis

The development of methods for carbon–carbon bond formation under benign conditions is an ongoing challenge for synthetic chemists. In recent years there has been considerable interest in using selective C?H activation as a direct route for generating rea

A catalytic system for the activation of diorganozinc reagents

We report a novel catalytic system for the activation of diorganozinc reagents. We assumed that the nucleophilic activation of diethylzinc should be efficiently performed by simple alkali metal salts. Indeed, the combination of sodium salts and 15-crown-5 significantly accelerates the rate of diethylzinc addition to benzaldehyde under mild conditions. The activity of the catalytic system strongly depends on the nature of the anion, decreasing in the order I->Br->Cl->F-. Under the optimized reaction conditions, various aryl, hetero aryl, and aliphatic aldehydes were converted with diethylzinc and the corresponding product was obtained in excellent yields. The first X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements on such type of reactions provide initial insights that support the proposed catalytic cycle and suggest the formation of a zincate complex.

Methodology for in situ protection of aldehydes and ketones using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and phosphines: Selective alkylation and reduction of ketones, esters, amides, and nitriles

A methodology for selective transformations of ketones, esters, Weinreb amides, and nitriles in the presence of aldehydes has been developed. The use of a combination of PPh3-trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) promotes selective transformation of aldehydes to their corresponding, temporarily protected, O,P-acetal type phosphonium salts. Because, hydrolytic work-up following ensuing reactions of other carbonyl moieties in the substrates liberates the aldehyde moiety, a sequence involving aldehyde protection, transformation of other carbonyl groups, and deprotection can be accomplished in a one-pot manner. Furthermore, the use of PEt3 instead of PPh 3 enables ketones to be converted in situ to their corresponding O,P-ketal type phosphonium salts and, consequently, selective transformations of esters, Weinreb amides, and nitriles in the presence of ketones can be performed. This methodology is applicable to various dicarbonyl compounds, including substrates that possess heteroaromatic skeletons and hydroxyl protecting groups.

Chemoselective synthesis of ketones and ketimines by addition of organometallic reagents to secondary amides

The development of efficient and selective transformations is crucial in synthetic chemistry as it opens new possibilities in the total synthesis of complex molecules. Applying such reactions to the synthesis of ketones is of great importance, as this motif serves as a synthetic handle for the elaboration of numerous organic functionalities. In this context, we report a general and chemoselective method based on an activation/addition sequence on secondary amides allowing the controlled isolation of structurally diverse ketones and ketimines. The generation of a highly electrophilic imidoyl triflate intermediate was found to be pivotal in the observed exceptional functional group tolerance, allowing the facile addition of readily available Grignard and diorganozinc reagents to amides, and avoiding commonly observed over-addition or reduction side reactions. The methodology has been applied to the formal synthesis of analogues of the antineoplastic agent Bexarotene and to the rapid and efficient synthesis of unsymmetrical diketones in a one-pot procedure.
