Diastereoselective and Stereodivergent Synthesis of 2-Cinnamylpyrrolines Enabled by Photoredox-Catalyzed Iminoalkenylation of Alkenes

A photoredox-catalyzed iminoalkenylation of γ-alkenyl O-acyl oximes has been developed. Readily available alkenylboronic acids serve as alkenylation reagents, leading to densely functionalized pyrrolines. Both (E)- and (Z)-cinnamylpyrrolines are accessible depending on the reaction solvent. In dichloromethane, (E)-cinnamylpyrrolines are produced through a photoredox-mediated single-electron-transfer process. In tetrahydrofuran, (Z)-cinnamylpyrrolines are generated by photocatalytic contra-thermodynamic E-to-Z isomerization of (E)-cinnamylpyrrolines though an energy-transfer pathway. Two stereocenters are established with complete diastereoselectivity and only one diastereomer is isolated.
Radical Aza-Cyclization of α-Imino-oxy Acids for Synthesis of Alkene-Containing N-Heterocycles via Dual Cobaloxime and Photoredox Catalysis

Nitrogen-containing heterocycles are prevalent in both naturally and synthetically bioactive molecules. We report herein an unprecedented protocol for radical aza-cyclization of α-imino-oxy acids with pendant alkenes via synergistic photoredox and cobaloxime catalysis. With or without alkenes as the intermolecular cross-coupling partners, the transformation provides a variety of corresponding alkene-containing dihydropyrrole products in satisfactory yields. In the presence of external alkenes, the tandem reaction generates E-selective coupling products with excellent chemo- and stereoselectivity.

The reactivity of iodine(III) reagents towards nucleophiles is often associated with umpolung and cationic mechanisms. Herein, we report a general process converting a range of ketone derivatives into α-cyclopropanated ketones by oxidative umpolung. Mechanistic investigation and careful characterization of side products revealed that the reaction follows an unexpected pathway and suggests the intermediacy of non-classical carbocations.
Iron-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization of γ,δ-unsaturated aromatic oxime esters to functionalized pyrrolines

Herein, a new method of iron-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization of γ,δ-unsaturated aromatic oxime esters to functionalized pyrrolines has been developed. By using readily available substrates, 32 examples of functionalized pyrrolines were prepared in moderate to good yields. Notably, examples of reduction and cycloaddition reactions of the obtained product were given as well. This journal is
A General Photocatalytic Route to Prenylation

Prenylation is an essential reaction on which nature relies to modify properties of molecules and build terpenoids, but remains a challenging chemical reaction. Aiming to capitalize on recent advances in photocatalysis to easily and cleanly generate a broad range of carbon based radicals, we have developed a prenyl transfer reagent that is captured by transiently generated radicals. The reagent can be made in bulk, is bench stable, and broadly applicable such that it can be used with existing photocatalytic methods with very few changes to reaction conditions. Ultimately, this provides a true drop-in solution for prenylation, expanding the scope of substrates that can be readily prenylated.
Iminyl Radicals by Reductive Cleavage of N-O Bond in Oxime Ether Promoted by SmI2: A Straightforward Synthesis of Five-Membered Cyclic Imines
Huang, Fei,Zhang, Songlin
supporting information, p. 7430 - 7434 (2019/10/11)
A new generation method of N-centered radicals from the reductive cleavage of the N-O bond in oxime ether promoted by SmI2 is reported for the first time. The in-situ-generated N-centered radicals underwent intramolecular cyclization to afford five-membered cyclic imines in two manners: N-centered radical addition and N-centered anion nucleophilic substitution. From a synthetic point of view, an efficient synthetic method of five-membered cyclic imines was developed. A mechanism of the transformation was proposed.
Photoredox Synthesis of Arylhydroxylamines from Carboxylic Acids and Nitrosoarenes
Davies, Jacob,Angelini, Lucrezia,Alkhalifah, Mohammed A.,Sanz, Laia Malet,Sheikh, Nadeem S.,Leonori, Daniele
, p. 821 - 830 (2018/01/11)
Hydroxylamines are found in biologically active compounds and serve as building blocks for the preparation of nitrogen-containing molecules. Here the direct conversion of carboxylic acids into the corresponding alkylhydroxylamines using organo-photoredox catalysis is reported. The process relies in the generation of alkyl radicals via photoinduced oxidation-decarboxylation and their following reaction with nitrosoarenes. We have successfully applied this method to the late-stage modification of complex and biologically active acids and applied it in novel radical cascade processes.
Visible-Light-Mediated Iminyl Radical Generation from Benzyl Oxime Ether: Synthesis of Pyrroline via Hydroimination Cyclization
Usami, Kaoru,Yamaguchi, Eiji,Tada, Norihiro,Itoh, Akichika
supporting information, p. 5714 - 5717 (2018/09/21)
The treatment of an O-(4-methoxybenzyl) oxime ether bearing an olefin substituent and 1-chloroanthraquinone (1-Cl-AQN) catalyst in 2-butanone under visible-light irradiation affords pyrroline via an iminyl radical intramolecular hydroimination. Mechanistic studies indicate that iminyl radical generation mainly proceeds by hydrogen abstraction of the photocatalyst from the benzyl position of the oxime. Moreover, the hydrogen atom was identified in circulation from the benzylic position of the substrates between AQN and 2-butanone to quench the carbon radical without requiring any additional reagents.
Photoredox Imino Functionalizations of Olefins
Davies, Jacob,Sheikh, Nadeem S.,Leonori, Daniele
, p. 13361 - 13365 (2017/10/17)
Shown herein is that polyfunctionalized nitrogen heterocycles can be easily prepared by a visible-light-mediated radical cascade process. This divergent strategy features the oxidative generation of iminyl radicals and subsequent cyclization/radical trapping, which allows the effective construction of highly functionalized heterocycles. The reactions proceed efficiently at room temperature, utilize an organic photocatalyst, use simple and readily available materials, and generate, in a single step, valuable building blocks that would be difficult to prepare by other methods.
Cyclization-endoperoxidation cascade reactions of dienes mediated by a pyrylium photoredox catalyst
Gesmundo, Nathan J.,Nicewicz, David A.
, p. 1272 - 1281 (2014/06/24)
Triarylpyrylium salts were employed as single electron photooxidants to catalyze a cyclization-endoperoxidation cascade of dienes. The transformation is presumed to proceed via the intermediacy of diene cation radicals. The nature of the diene component was investigated in this context to determine the structural requirements necessary for successful reactivity. Several unique endoperoxide structures were synthesized in yields up to 79%.
