Synthesis and Photochemical Application of Hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) Based Fluoroalkyl Building Block

A novel fluoroalkyl iodide was synthesized on multigram scale from refrigerant gas HFO-1234yf as cheap industrial starting material in a simple, solvent-free, and easily scalable process. We demonstrated its applicability in a metal-free photocatalytic ATRA reaction to synthesize valuable fluoroalkylated vinyl iodides and proved the straightforward transformability of the products in cross-coupling chemistry to obtain conjugated systems.

Copper-Catalyzed Ring Opening of [1.1.1]Propellane with Alkynes: Synthesis of Exocyclic Allenic Cyclobutanes

Despite the long history and interesting properties of propellanes, these compounds still have tremendous potential to be exploited in synthetic organic chemistry. Herein we disclose an experimentally simple procedure to achieve cyclobutane-containing allenes and alkynes through a copper-catalyzed ring opening of [1.1.1]propellane and subsequent reaction with ethynes.

Optimizing ligand structure for low-loading and fast catalysis for alkynyl-alcohol and-amine cyclization

A series of [Ru(Cp/Cp?)(PR2NR′2)(MeCN)]PF6 complexes were prepared, in which the steric and electronic properties of the primary coordination sphere were varied (R = Ph, t-Bu, Bn; and Cp vs. Cp?). These complexes were catalytically active in the cyclization of alkyne substrates with an intramolecular nucleophile (amine or alcohol) to produce 5-and 6-membered heterocycles. The effect of the 1° coordination sphere structure on catalyst performance was evaluated. Steric bulk around the metal centre was a key feature to achieve rapid catalysis at low temperatures. The catalyst [Ru(Cp)(Pt-Bu2NPh2)(MeCN)]PF6 gave a turnover number that was >1 order of magnitude more active than previous catalysts in the cyclization of the benchmark substrate 2-ethynylaniline. This catalyst is tolerant of a diversity of functional groups and is competent at the formation of various substituted indoles.

Synthesis of 3-substituted isoindolin-1-ones via a tandem desilylation, cross-coupling, hydroamidation sequence under aqueous phase-transfer conditions

A simple and expedient method for the synthesis of 3-methylene-isoindolin-1-ones 4 under aqueous phase-transfer conditions has been developed. Starting from 2-iodobenzamides 1 and (silyl)alkynes, the products are obtained in high yields and short reaction times (30 min) with the use of inexpensive CuCl/PPh3 catalyst system in the presence of n-Bu4NBr (TBAB) as a phase-transfer agent. Terminal alkynes are conveniently "unmasked" upon in situ desilylation under the reaction conditions. Alkynes possessing heterocyclic moieties were also found as amenable substrates. Furthermore, a one-pot process starting from 2-iodobenzamides 1, aryl halides (bromides or iodides) and trimethylsilylacetylene (TMSA) as a convenient acetylene surrogate was also shown to be feasible under Pd/Cu catalysis.

Construction of nitrogen heterocycles bearing an aminomethyl group by copper-catalyzed domino three-component coupling-cyclization

(Chemical Equation Presented) A direct approach to 2-(aminomethyl)indoles by copper-catalyzed domino three-component coupling-cyclization of 2-ethynylanilines with a secondary amine and aldehyde has been developed. By use of a cyclic or acyclic secondary

Gold(III)-catalyzed annulation of 2-alkynylanilines: A mild and efficient synthesis of indoles and 3-haloindoles

Gold(III)-catalyzed annulation of 2-alkynylanilines in EtOH or EtOH-water mixtures at room temperature gives indoles derivatives in good yields. One-flask protocol for the gold-catalyzed conversion of 2-alkynylanilines to 3-bromo and 3-iodoindoles is also reported.
