A facile and versatile electro-reductive system for hydrodefunctionalization under ambient conditions

A general electrochemical system for reductive hydrodefunctionalization is described, employing the inexpensive and easily available triethylamine (Et3N) as a sacrificial reductant. This protocol is characterized by facile operation, sustainable conditions, and exceptionally wide substrate scope covering the cleavage of C-halogen, N-S, N-C, O-S, O-C, C-C and C-N bonds. Notably, the selectivity and capability of reduction can be conveniently switched by simple incorporation or removal of an alcohol as a co-solvent.

Direct electrochemical reductive amination between aldehydes and amines with a H/D-donor solvent

A novel electrochemical synthesis protocol has been achieved for reductive amination between aldehydes and amines in undivided cells at room temperature. Under metal-free and external-reductant-free electrolysis conditions, various important secondary amine products are obtained in moderate-to-high yields. Deuterium-labeling experiments have demonstrated that low-toxicity DMSO acts both as a solvent and a H-donor in the reaction. On this basis, various deuterium-labeled products with good-to-excellent D-incorporation have been synthesized by using DMSO-d6 as a solvent. Furthermore, a molecule with GR-antagonistic activity has been synthesized through further sulfonylation.

Pushing the Limits of Neutral Organic Electron Donors: A Tetra(iminophosphorano)-Substituted Bispyridinylidene

A new ground-state organic electron donor has been prepared that features four strongly π-donating iminophosphorano substituents on a bispyridinylidene skeleton. Cyclic voltammetry reveals a record redox potential of ?1.70 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) for the couple involving the neutral organic donor and its dication. This highly reducing organic compound can be isolated (44 %) or more conveniently generated in situ by a deprotonation reaction involving its readily prepared pyridinium ion precursor. This donor is able to reduce a variety of aryl halides, and, owing to its redox potential, was found to be the first organic donor to be effective in the thermally induced reductive S N bond cleavage of N,N-dialkylsulfonamides, and reductive hydrodecyanation of malonitriles.

Metal-free reductive cleavage of C-N and S-N bonds by photoactivated electron transfer from a neutral organic donor

A photoactivated neutral organic super electron donor cleaves challenging arenesulfonamides derived from dialkylamines at room temperature. It also cleaves a)ArC-NR and b)ArN-C bonds. This study also highlights the assistance given to these cleavage reactions by the groups attached to N in (a) and to C in (b), by lowering LUMO energies and by stabilizing the products of fragmentation. Radical fragmentations: Electron transfer from the photoactivated neutral electron donor 1 delivers high yields of S-N and C-N cleavage products for a range of nitrogen-containing species. These reactions proceed at room temperature and under mild reaction conditions in the absence of any metal reagents. DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide, Ts=4-toluenesulfonyl.

A novel neutral organic electron donor with record half-wave potential

Tricyclic donor 26 has been prepared and is the most reducing neutral ground-state organic molecule known, with an oxidation potential 260 mV more negative than the previous record. Cyclic voltammetry shows that a 2-electron reversible redox process occurs in DMF as solvent at -1.46 V vs. Ag/AgCl.

Functionalization of mesoporous carbon with superbasic MgO nanoparticles for the efficient synthesis of sulfinamides

Highly basic MgO nanoparticles with different sizes have been successfully immobilized over mesoporous carbon with different pore diameters by a simple wet-impregnation method. The prepared catalysts have been characterized by various sophisticated techniques, such as XRD, nitrogen adsorption, electron energy loss spectroscopy, high-resolution TEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the temperature-programmed desorption of CO2. XRD results reveal that the mesostructure of the support is retained even after the huge loading of MgO nanoparticles inside the mesochannels of the support. It is also demonstrated that the particle size and dispersion of the MgO nanoparticles on the support can be finely controlled by the simple adjustment of the textural parameters of the supports. Among the support materials studied, mesoporous carbon with the largest pore diameter and large pore volume offered highly crystalline small-size cubic-phase MgO nanoparticles with a high dispersion. The basicity of the MgO-supported mesoporous carbons can also be controlled by simply changing the loading of the MgO and the pore diameter of the support. These materials have been employed as heterogeneous catalysts for the first time in the selective synthesis of sulfinamides. Among the catalysts investigated, the support with the large pore diameter and high loading of MgO showed the highest activity with an excellent yield of sulfinamides. The catalyst also showed much higher activity than the pristine MgO nanoparticles. The effects of the reaction parameters, including the solvents and reaction temperature, and textural parameters of the supports in the activity of the catalyst have also been demonstrated. Most importantly, the catalyst was found to be highly stable, showing excellent activity even after the third cycle of reaction. Reuse and recycle: Highly basic MgO-functionalized mesoporous carbon with different pore diameters has been prepared (see picture). The material showed a much higher performance in the synthesis of sulfinamides than pure MgO nanoparticles. The catalyst was also highly stable and could be reused several times without affecting its activity. Copyright

Gold-catalyzed substitution reaction with ortho-alkynylbenzoic acid alkyl ester as an efficient alkylating agent

ortho-Alkynylbenzoic acid alkyl esters behave as alkylating agents in combination with gold catalysts. The reaction with alcohols occurs smoothly in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ph3PAuCl and AgOTf under mild conditions to produce the corresponding ether products in high yields. The protocol is also useful for Friedel-Crafts alkylation and N-alkylation of sulfonamides. The reaction likely proceeds through the gold-induced in situ construction of leaving groups and subsequent nucleophilic attack of nucleophiles, such as alcohols, aromatic compounds, and sulfonamides.

Facile N-arylation of amines and sulfonamides and O-arylation of phenols and arenecarboxylic acids

An efficient, transition-metal-free procedure for the N-arylation of amines, sulfonamides, and carbamates and O-arylation of phenols and carboxylic acids has been achieved by allowing these substrates to react with a variety of o-silylaryl inflates in the presence of CsF. Good to excellent yields of arylated products are obtained under very mild reaction conditions. This chemistry readily tolerates a variety of functional groups.
