The combination of dimethyl sulfoxide and oxalyl bromide was used to accomplish the cyclization of 3-alkenoic acids with the aid of a base to afford γ-butenolides, in which bromodimethylsulfonium salt generated in situ was proposed to serve as a Br+ source.

Allylic and acrylic substrates may be efficiently transformed by a sequential bichromatic photochemical process into derivatives of levulinates or butenolides with high selectivity when phenanthrene is used as a regulator. Thus, UV-A photoinduced cross-metathesis (CM) couples the acrylic and allylic counterparts and subsequent UV-C irradiation initiates E-Z isomerization of the carbon-carbon double bond, followed by one of two competing processes; namely, cyclization by transesterification or a 1,5-H shift and tautomerization. Quantum chemical calculations demonstrate that intermediates are strongly blue-shifted for the cyclization while red-shifted for the 1,5-H shift reaction. Hence, delaying the double bond migration by employing UV-C absorbing phenanthrene, results in a selective novel divergent all-photochemical pathway for the synthesis of fundamental structural motifs of ubiquitous natural products.

Hexafluoroisopropan-2-ol (HFIP) is an excellent solvent for promoting fluorinations with the hypervalent fluoroiodane reagent 1 and crucially, it removes the need for transition metals or TREAT-HF activators. The fluoroiodane reagent 1 was used in HFIP to monofluorinate 1,3-ketoesters and to fluorocyclise unsaturated carboxylic acids in excellent yields under mild reaction conditions.

A facile chlorolactonization of alkenoic acids by treatment with diphenyl sulfoxide/oxalyl chloride has been developed. The reaction can generate various chlorolactones in moderate to good yields, wherein the chlorodiphenylsufonium salt derived from diphenyl sulfoxide/oxalyl chloride serves as the source of Cl +.

The aerobic dehydrogenative lactonization of alkenoic acids facilitated by a cooperative nonmetallic catalyst pair is reported. The title procedure relies on the adjusted interplay of a photoredox and a selenium-π-acid catalyst, which allows for the regiocontrolled construction of five- and six-membered lactone rings in yields of up to 96%. Notable features of this method are pronounced efficiency and practicality, good functional group tolerance, and high sustainability, since ambient air and visible light are adequate for the clean conversion of alkenoic acids into their respective lactones. The title method has been used as a case study to elucidate the general mechanistic aspects of the dual selenium-π-acid/photoredox catalysis. On the basis of NMR spectroscopic, mass spectrometric, and computational investigations, a more detailed picture of the catalytic cycle is drawn and the potential role of trimeric selenonium cations as catalytically relevant species is discussed.

Described herein is the development of the B(C6F5)3-catalyzed hydrosilylation of α,β-unsaturated esters and amides to afford synthetically valuable α-silyl carbonyl products. The α-silylation occurs chemoselectively, thus leaving the labile carbonyl groups intact. The reaction features a broad scope of both acyclic and cyclic substrates, and the synthetic utility of the obtained α-silyl carbonyl products is also demonstrated. Mechanistic studies revealed two operative steps: fast 1,4-hydrosilylation of conjugated carbonyls and then slow silyl group migration of a silyl ether intermediate.

A full account of our recently communicated method for the V2O5 mediated bromolactonization of alkenoic acids is presented. Here we describe the extensive evaluation of the metal oxide catalyst, terminal oxidant, halide source, solvent system, and reaction temperature that resulted in optimal conditions employing 0.05 equiv V2O5, 3 equiv urea-hydrogen peroxide complex (UHP), and 3 equiv of NH4Br in an acetone:H2O (6:1) solvent system at room temperature. Additionally, we have expanded the substrate scope of the reaction with the aim of evaluating the functional group tolerance of the transformation. Further, we present preliminary data of a related halogenation of β-diketones with our optimal conditions. Finally, we probed the role of urea in the transformation.

A convenient synthetic approach to α,β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactones and α,β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactams is developed. The reaction proceeds via decarboxylative iodination of paraconic acids and β-carboxyl-γ-butyrolactams, employing 1,3-diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DIH) under irradiation, followed by dehydroiodination of β-iodo-γ-butyrolactones and γ-butyrolactams providing good yields of α,β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactones and γ-butyrolactams, which are synthetically useful building blocks in organic synthesis.

A facile solid-phase synthesis approach was developed for the rapid synthesis of multi-substituted furan-2(5H)-one derivatives libraries. The synthetic strategy included the selenyl bromide resin-induced electrophilic lactonization catalyzed by Lewis base, lithiation, nucleophilic substitution and oxidation-elimination of the selenium resins. The advantages of the new method are good yields, high purity, straightforward operations and high diversity of the products, lack of odor, and good stability of the selenium resins. Copyright

The catalytic performance of NHC-ligated Ru-indenylidene or benzylidene complexes bearing a tricyclohexylphosphine or a pyridine ligand in ring closing metathesis (RCM), cross metathesis, and ring closing enyne metathesis (RCEYM) reactions is compared. While the PCy3 complexes perform significantly better in RCM and RCEYM reactions than the pyridine complex, all catalysts show similar activity in cross metathesis reactions.
