Fluorinated Sulfinates as Source of Alkyl Radicals in the Photo-Enantiocontrolled β-Functionalization of Enals

The generation of sulfonyl radicals has long been known as a flexible strategy in a wide range of different sulfonylative transformations. Meanwhile their use in alkylation processes has been somehow limited due to their inherent difficulty in evolving to less-stable radicals after sulfur dioxide extrusion. Herein we report a convenient strategy that involves gem-difluorinated sulfinates as an “upgrading-mask”, allowing these precursors to decompose into their corresponding alkyl radicals. The electron–donor character of sulfinates in the formation of an electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complex with transient iminium ions is displayed, achieving the first example of a stereocontrolled light-driven insertion of gem-difluoro derivatives into unsaturated aldehydes. This methodology is compatible with flow conditions, maintaining identical levels of enantiocontrol.

Method for preparing olefine aldehyde by catalyzing terminal alkyne or terminal conjugated eneyne and diphosphine ligand used in method

The invention discloses a method for preparing olefine aldehyde by catalyzing terminal alkyne or terminal conjugated eneyne and a diphosphine ligand used in the method. According to the invention, indole-substituted phosphoramidite diphosphine ligand which is stable in air and insensitive to light is synthesized by utilizing a continuous one-pot method, and the indole-substituted phosphoramidite diphosphine ligand and a rhodium catalyst are used for jointly catalyzing to successfully achieve a hydroformylation reaction of aromatic terminal alkyne and terminal conjugated eneyne under the condition of synthesis gas for the first time, so that an olefine aldehyde structure compound can be rapidly and massively prepared, and particularly, a polyolefine aldehyde structure compound which is more difficult to synthesize in the prior art can be easily prepared and synthesized, and a novel method is provided for synthesis and modification of drug molecules, intermediates and chemical products.

Iron-Catalyzed ?±,?-Dehydrogenation of Carbonyl Compounds

An iron-catalyzed α,β-dehydrogenation of carbonyl compounds was developed. A broad spectrum of carbonyls or analogues, such as aldehyde, ketone, lactone, lactam, amine, and alcohol, could be converted to their α,β-unsaturated counterparts in a simple one-step reaction with high yields.

Potent Inhibition of Nicotinamide N-Methyltransferase by Alkene-Linked Bisubstrate Mimics Bearing Electron Deficient Aromatics

Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) methylates nicotinamide (vitamin B3) to generate 1-methylnicotinamide (MNA). NNMT overexpression has been linked to a variety of diseases, most prominently human cancers, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target. The development of small-molecule NNMT inhibitors has gained interest in recent years, with the most potent inhibitors sharing structural features based on elements of the nicotinamide substrate and the S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) cofactor. We here report the development of new bisubstrate inhibitors that include electron-deficient aromatic groups to mimic the nicotinamide moiety. In addition, a trans-alkene linker was found to be optimal for connecting the substrate and cofactor mimics in these inhibitors. The most potent NNMT inhibitor identified exhibits an IC50 value of 3.7 nM, placing it among the most active NNMT inhibitors reported to date. Complementary analytical techniques, modeling studies, and cell-based assays provide insights into the binding mode, affinity, and selectivity of these inhibitors.

Enantioselective Organocatalytic Synthesis of 1,2,3-Trisubstituted Cyclopentanes

An organocatalytic asymmetric domino Michael/α-alkylation reaction between enals and non-stabilized alkyl halides has been developed. Chiral secondary amine catalyzed cyclization reaction of 1-bromo-3-nitropropane with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes provides 1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclopentane carbaldehydes with high diastereo- (dr up to 8 : 1) and enantioselectivities (ee up to 96 %).

Selective Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydroformylation of Terminal Arylalkynes and Conjugated Enynes to (Poly)enals Enabled by a π-Acceptor Biphosphoramidite Ligand

The hydroformylation of terminal arylalkynes and enynes offers a straightforward synthetic route to the valuable (poly)enals. However, the hydroformylation of terminal alkynes has remained a long-standing challenge. Herein, an efficient and selective Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of terminal arylalkynes and conjugated enynes has been achieved by using a new stable biphosphoramidite ligand with strong π-acceptor capacity, which affords various important E-(poly)enals in good yields with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity at low temperatures and low syngas pressures.

Heck Reactions of Acrolein or Enones and Aryl Bromides – Synthesis of 3-Aryl Propenals or Propenones and Consecutive Application in Multicomponent Pyrazole Syntheses

3-(Hetero)aryl propenals or propenones are efficiently prepared by a Heck reaction of (hetero)aryl bromides and acrolein or vinyl ketones using Beller's CataCXium Ptb ligand under Jeffery's and Fu's conditions. The formation of these three-carbon building blocks is embedded into consecutive three- and pseudo-four-component syntheses of 3-(hetero)aryl and 3,5-diarylpyrazoles with a broad substitution pattern in moderate to excellent yield.

Highly γ-Regioselective 1,2-Addition of α,β-Unsaturated Oxime Ethers with Allylzinc Bromides: A Straightforward Approach for the Synthesis of Homoallylic Amines

A highly regioselective reaction between allylzinc bromide reagents and α,β-unsaturated oxime ethers for the one-step synthesis of the homoallylic amines is reported. This process is a regioselective 1,2-addition reaction providing a new γ-position with carbon-carbon bond formation. Furthermore, the reaction substrates are widely applicable and can be produced in a high yield.

Evolution of physical and photocatalytic properties of new Zn(II) and Ru(II) complexes

Synthesis of Zn(II) and Ru(II) complexes were reported by using N4-macrocyclic Schiff base ligands under solvothermal conditions. The newly synthesized Zn(II) and Ru(II) complexes have been characterized by various physico-chemical techniques such as elemental analysis, molar conductance, HRMS, TGA, FESEM, UV–Vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, and cyclic voltammetry. By using molar conductance studies, the complexes are formulated as [Zn(TPTTP)]Cl2 and [Ru(TPTTP)Cl2]. C–H bond activation of an sp3 group of methylstyrenes (converted into cinnamaldehydes) and C–H bond activation of the sp2 bond of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through photooxidation was examined in the presence of Zn(II) and Ru(II) complexes. Reusable activity studies and photostability of catalyst are investigated by using UV–Vis spectra. Based on the results, higher catalytic activity of [Ru(TPTTP)Cl2] complex than [Zn(TPTTP)]Cl2 complex in both C–H bond activation and photooxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons has been reported.

Modular synthesis of (E)-cinnamaldehydes directly from allylarenes via a metal-free DDQ-mediated oxidative process

An efficient synthesis of (E)-cinnamaldehydes by a metal-free DDQ-mediated oxidative transformation of allylarenes was developed. The protocol provides a practical method to prepare diverse (E)-cinnamaldehydes with broad functional group tolerance in good to excellent yields, including easy access to natural products randainal and geranyloxy sinapyl aldehyde from plant extracts. Finally, the mechanism of a single-electron transfer process was proposed.
