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.

In the present study, we compared the antiepileptic effects of α-asarone derivatives to explore their structure-activity relationships using the PTZ-induced seizure model. Our research revealed that electron-donating methoxy groups in the 3,4,5-position on phenyl ring increased antiepileptic potency but the placement of other groups at different positions decreased activity. Besides, in allyl moiety, the optimal activity was reached with either an allyl or a 1-butenyl group in conjugation with the benzene ring. The compounds 5 and 19 exerted better neuroprotective effects against epilepsy in vitro (cell) and in vivo (mouse) models. This study provides valuable data for further exploration and application of these compounds as potential anti-seizure medicines.

An efficient cobalt-catalyzed Z to E isomerization of β-substituted styrenes using the amido-diphosphine ligand was developed, delivering the (E)-isomers with good functional tolerance and high stereoselectivity. The reaction could be scaled up to gram-scale with a catalyst loading of 0.1 mol %, using a mixture of (Z)- and (E)-alkene as the starting material. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that cobalt(I)-hydride and a benzylic-cobalt species were probably involved in the reaction, as supported by experiments and DFT calculations.

Although tremendous effort has been devoted to the development of methods for iron catalysis, few of the catalysts reported to date exhibit clear superiority to other metal catalysts, and the mechanisms of most iron catalysis remain unclear. Herein, we report that iron complexes bearing 2,9-diaryl-1,10-phenanthroline ligands exhibit not only unprecedented catalytic activity but also unusual ligand-controlled divergent regioselectivity in hydrosilylation reactions of various alkynes. The hydrosilylation protocol described herein provides a highly efficient method for preparing useful di- and trisubstituted olefins on a relatively large scale under mild conditions, and its use markedly improved the synthetic efficiency of a number of bioactive compounds. Mechanistic studies based on control experiments and density functional theory calculations were performed to understand the catalytic pathway and the observed regioselectivity.

Full control over the selectivity of carbon-carbon double-bond migrations would enable access to stereochemically defined olefins that are central to the pharmaceutical, food, fragrance, materials, and petrochemical arenas. The vast majority of double-bond migrations investigated over the past 60 years capitalize on precious-metal hydrides that are frequently associated with reversible equilibria, hydrogen scrambling, incomplete E/Z stereoselection, and/or high cost. Here, we report a fundamentally different, radical-based approach.We showcase a nonprecious, reductant-free, and atom-economical nickel (Ni)(I)-catalyzed intramolecular 1,3-hydrogen atom relocation to yield E-olefins within 3 hours at room temperature. Remote installations of E-olefins over extended distances are also demonstrated.

Radical cation Diels-Alder reactions by titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis in lithium perchlorate/nitromethane solution are described. TiO2 photocatalysis promotes reactions between electron-rich dienes and dienophiles, which would otherwise be difficult to accomplish due to electronic mismatching. The reactions are triggered by hole oxidation of the dienophile and are completed by the excited electron reduction of the radical cation intermediate at the dispersed surface in the absence of any sacrificial substrate.
Concise access toward chiral hydroxy phenylpropanoids: formal synthesis of virolongin B; kigelin; kurasoin A; 4-hydroxysattabacin, and actinopolymorphol A

, p. 3371 - 3375 (2016/07/11)
A simple, two step strategy consisting of Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation followed by regioselective breaking of [Formula presented] bond is utilized to target key chiral intermediates of natural products virolongin B, kigelin, kurasoin A, 4-hydroxy-sattabacin, and actinopolymorphol A. Derivatives of enantiopure hydroxy phenyl propanoids and α-hydroxy Weinreb amides are synthesized. The reductive cleavage of [Formula presented] bond in a regioselective manner is obtained using Pd/C in methanol.

(E)-Propenylbenzene flavors and fragrances can be made and isolated in high yield and selectivity by using bifunctional catalyst 1, and the heterogenized analogues. Multigram-scale reactions can be performed neat and the products isolated either by distillation, using homogeneous catalyst 1 (0.1-0.5 mol%, r.t., 10-45 min), or by decantation from heterogeneous catalysts PS-1 or PSL-1 (0.5 mol%, 70 °C, 24 h; catalyst separation and re-use shown for 3-4 cycles; 10 cycles using distilled eugenol feedstock). Both purified starting materials and essential oil feedstocks could be used. Z Isomers were present at very low levels (from 0.4% to less than 0.1%) in the products.

A small-molecule natural product, euodenine A (1), was identified as an agonist of the human TLR4 receptor. Euodenine A was isolated from the leaves of Euodia asteridula (Rutaceae) found in Papua New Guinea and has an unusual U-shaped structure. It was synthesized along with a series of analogues that exhibit potent and selective agonism of the TLR4 receptor. SAR development around the cyclobutane ring resulted in a 10-fold increase in potency. The natural product demonstrated an extracellular site of action, which requires the extracellular domain of TLR4 to stimulate a NF-κB reporter response. 1 is a human-selective agonist that is CD14-independent, and it requires both TLR4 and MD-2 for full efficacy. Testing for immunomodulation in PBMC cells shows the induction of the cytokines IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, and IL-12p40 as well as suppression of IL-5 from activated PBMCs, indicating that compounds like 1 could modulate the Th2 immune response without causing lung damage.
