We report a novel example of electro-mediated photoredox catalysis (e-PRC) in the reductive cleavage of C(sp3)?O bonds of phosphinated alcohols to alkyl carbanions. As well as deoxygenations, olefinations are reported which are E-selective and can be made Z-selective in a tandem reduction/photosensitization process where both steps are photoelectrochemically promoted. Spectroscopy, computation, and catalyst structural variations reveal that our new naphthalene monoimide-type catalyst allows for an intimate dispersive precomplexation of its radical anion form with the phosphinate substrate, facilitating a reactivity-determining C(sp3)?O cleavage. Surprisingly and in contrast to previously reported photoexcited radical anion chemistries, our conditions tolerate aryl chlorides/bromides and do not give rise to Birch-type reductions.
A donor-acceptor complex enables the synthesis of: E -olefins from alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids

Olefins are prevalent substrates and functionalities. The synthesis of olefins from readily available starting materials such as alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids is of great significance to address the sustainability concerns in organic synthesis. Metallaphotoredox-catalyzed defunctionalizations were reported to achieve such transformations under mild conditions. However, all these valuable strategies require a transition metal catalyst, a ligand or an expensive photocatalyst, with the challenges of controlling the region- and stereoselectivities remaining. Herein, we present a fundamentally distinct strategy enabled by electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes, for the selective synthesis of olefins from these simple and easily available starting materials. The conversions took place via photoactivation of the EDA complexes of the activated substrates with alkali salts, followed by hydrogen atom elimination from in situ generated alkyl radicals. This method is operationally simple and straightforward and free of photocatalysts and transition-metals, and shows high regio- and stereoselectivities.

An efficient and facile method for the construction of tri- or tetrasubstituted exocyclic alkenes is achieved via a Cu(I)-catalytic system. This protocol exhibits mild conditions, low-cost catalyst, good functional group tolerance, and good yields. The selectivity toward tri- or tetrasubstituted alkenes can be delicately controlled by adjustment of base and solvent. A preliminary mechanism study manifested that the reaction undergoes a radical process, where B2pin2 plays an indispensable role.

A three-step sequence for the synthesis of α-arylated cyclohexanones and the most challenging cycloheptanones is reported. First, an efficient one-pot synthesis of β,β'-disubstituted benzylidene cycloalkanes (styrenes) using the palladium-catalyzed Barluenga reaction from readily available feedstock chemicals is described. Furthermore, an epoxidation followed by the House-Meinwald rearrangement (HMR) of spiro-epoxides is reported to produce a number of α-arylated cycloalkanones upon ring expansion. Reactions catalyzed by bismuth triflate underwent quasi-exclusively ring expansion for all substrates (electronically poor and rich), with yields ranging from 15% to 95%, thus demonstrating the difficulty of achieving ring enlargement for electron-deficient spiro-epoxides. On the other hand, by means of catalysis with aluminum trichloride, the rearrangement of spiro-epoxides proceeded typically in high yields and with remarkable regioselectivity on a broader substrate scope. In this case, a switch of regioselectivity was achieved for spiro-epoxides with electron-withdrawing substituents which enable the method to be successfully extended to some chemospecific arene shifts and the synthesis of aldehydes bearing a α-quaternary carbon. While the HMR has been extensively studied for smaller ring enlargement, we are pleased to report herein that larger cyclohexanones and cycloheptanones can be obtained efficiently from more sterically demanding trisubstituted spiro-epoxides bearing electron-releasing and electron-neutral arene substituents.
Consecutive visible-light photoredox decarboxylative couplings of adipic acid active esters with alkynyl sulfones leading to cyclic compounds

Novel and efficient consecutive photoredox decarboxylative couplings of adipic acid active esters (bis(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)-substituted hexanedioates) with substituted 1-(2-arylethynylsulfonyl)benzenes have been developed under visible-light photocatalysis. The successive photoredox decarboxylative C-C bond formation at room temperature afforded the corresponding cyclic compounds in good yields with tolerance of some functional groups.
Aryltriolborates as air- and water-stable bases for wittig olefination
Huang, Wenhua,Zhao, Shuang-Hong,Xu, Ning
, p. 359 - 366 (2015/02/19)
Tetrabutylammonium aryltriolborates have been synthesized in 37-66% yield by a one-pot procedure from arylboronic acids, 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane, and aqueous tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. The aryltriolborates can be used as bases in Wittig reactions of aromatic aldehydes with all three types of phosphorus ylides: stabilized and semistabilized ylides can be generated at room temperature, and nonstabilized ylides at 120 °C (bath temperature).
Rh-catalyzed C-C bond cleavage by transfer hydroformylation

, p. 56 - 60 (2015/03/04)
The dehydroformylation of aldehydes to generate olefins occurs during the biosynthesis of various sterols, including cholesterol in humans. Here, we implement a synthetic version that features the transfer of a formyl group and hydride from an aldehyde substrate to a strained olefin acceptor. A Rhodium(Xantphos)(benzoate) catalyst activates aldehyde carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds with high chemoselectivity to trigger carbon-carbon (C-C) bond cleavage and generate olefins at low loadings (0.3 to 2 mole percent) and temperatures (22° to 80°C). This mild protocol can be applied to various natural products and was used to achieve a three-step synthesis of (+)-yohimbenone. A study of the mechanism reveals that the benzoate counterion acts as a proton shuttle to enable transfer hydroformylation.

Differently substituted terminal alkynes that bear sulfonate leaving groups at an appropriate distance were converted in the presence of a propynyl gold(I) precatalyst. After initial formation of a gold acetylide, a cyclization takes place at the β-carbon atom of this species. Mechanistic studies support a mechanism that is related to that of dual gold-catalyzed reactions, but for the new substrates, only one gold atom is needed for substrate activation. After formation of a gold vinylidene complex, which forms a tight contact ion pair with the sulfonate leaving group, recombination of the two parts delivers vinyl sulfonates, which are valuable targets that can serve as precursors for cross-coupling reactions, for example. Gold vinylidene intermediates are generated by the cyclization of gold acetylides that carry a sulfonate leaving group. This result demonstrates for the first time that the formation of these species is not restricted to a dual activation mode. The cyclization products obtained herein contain a vinyl sulfonate moiety, which makes them useful building blocks for cross-coupling reactions.

A silver-catalyzed carbomagnesiation of alkynes with alkyl halides and Grignard reagents afforded alkenyl Grignard reagents regioselectively, where the alkyl group of the alkyl halide, but not that of the Grignard reagent, was introduced into the alkyne.
Non-cross-linked polystyrene-supported triphenylarsonium halides and their use in the arsa-Wittig reaction
Lau, Kelvin C.Y.,Chiu, Pauline
experimental part, p. 8769 - 8774 (2011/12/02)
Non-cross-linked polystyrene-supported (carbomethoxymethyl) triphenylarsonium bromide (1) and benzyltriphenylarsonium iodide (2) were synthesized. They showed similar reactivities compared with the free arsonium salts in the arsa-Wittig reaction. The use of the polymer-supported reagents facilitated product purification and rendered the organoarsenic reagents easily separable and recyclable.
