Visible-Light-Driven Epoxyacylation and Hydroacylation of Olefins Using Methylene Blue/Persulfate System in Water

A visible-light-driven strategy for hydroacylation and epoxyacylation of olefins in water using methylene blue as photoredox catalyst and persulfate as oxidant is reported. In this unprecedented unified approach, two different transformations are accomplished using only one set of reagents. The method has a broad scope spanning a range of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes as well as conjugated and nonconjugated olefins to deliver ketones and epoxyketones from abundant and inexpensive chemical feedstocks.

Reactivity of trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride, a room-temperature phosphonium ionic liquid

Trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride 1, a room-temperature ionic liquid, readily undergoes deuterium isotope exchange reaction in deuterated solvents. Under basic conditions, ionic liquid 1 was reactive and 50% deuterium exchanged on all four P-CH2 methylene groups in 9 h at ambient temperature, 30 min at 50 °C, or 12 min at 65 °C. In addition, ionic liquid 1 reacted with sodium salts of substituted benzoates apparently through the direct SN2 carboxylate alkylation to form esters 2 and the resulting esters further converted, via Wittig reaction, to finally afford aryl ketones 4.

Novel Diradical-Mediated Ring Opening Reactions

Thermo-isomerization of medium- and large-ring 1-phenylcycloalkanols 1e-i at around 650 deg C in a flow reactor system delivers the open-chain phenones 4e-i. A reaction mechanism via an open-chain diradical intermediate, followed by an intramolecular hydrogen transfer is proposed. Thermo-isomerization of α-substituted 1-phenylcyclododecanols 6 proceeds regioselectively under the formation of ω-substituted phenones 7. Furthermore, this novel hydrogen transfer reaction provides a new access to ω-substituted fatty acids.
