N-Ammonium Ylide Mediators for Electrochemical C-H Oxidation

The site-specific oxidation of strong C(sp3)-H bonds is of uncontested utility in organic synthesis. From simplifying access to metabolites and late-stage diversification of lead compounds to truncating retrosynthetic plans, there is a growing need for new reagents and methods for achieving such a transformation in both academic and industrial circles. One main drawback of current chemical reagents is the lack of diversity with regard to structure and reactivity that prevents a combinatorial approach for rapid screening to be employed. In that regard, directed evolution still holds the greatest promise for achieving complex C-H oxidations in a variety of complex settings. Herein we present a rationally designed platform that provides a step toward this challenge using N-ammonium ylides as electrochemically driven oxidants for site-specific, chemoselective C(sp3)-H oxidation. By taking a first-principles approach guided by computation, these new mediators were identified and rapidly expanded into a library using ubiquitous building blocks and trivial synthesis techniques. The ylide-based approach to C-H oxidation exhibits tunable selectivity that is often exclusive to this class of oxidants and can be applied to real-world problems in the agricultural and pharmaceutical sectors.

Visible-Light-Promoted Activation of Unactivated C(sp3)-H Bonds and Their Selective Trifluoromethylthiolation

Selective functionalization of ubiquitous C(sp3)-H bonds using visible light is a highly challenging yet desirable goal in organic synthesis. The development of such processes relies on both rational design and serendipitous discoveries from innovative tools such as screening technologies. Applying a mechanism-based screening strategy, we herein report photoredox-mediated hydrogen atom transfer catalysis for the selective activation of otherwise unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds, followed by their trifluoromethylthiolation, which has high potential as a late-stage functionalization tool. The generality of this method is exhibited through incorporation of the trifluoromethylthio group in a large number of C(sp3)-H bonds with high selectivity without the need for an excess of valuable substrate.

A facile and efficient protocol for esterification and acetalization in a PEG1000-D(A)IL/toluene thermoregulated catalyst-media combined systems

A novel efficient and recyclable temperature-dependent biphasic catalyst and reaction media combined system comprised of PEG-1000 linked dicationic acidic ionic liquid and toluene was developed and applied in esterification of aromatic acids and acetalization of aromatic aldehydes with good to excellent yields. This system is characteristic of temperature-dependent reversible biphasic property, simple and facile recyclability, high catalytic activity and extensive substrate and reaction adaptability.

Photoinduced direct cyanation of C(sp3)-H bonds

A general and practical synthetic protocol for the direct transformation of unreactive C(sp3)-H bonds to C(sp3)-CN bonds has been developed. The homolytic cleavage of the C-H bond is initiated by photo-excited benzophenone, and the resulting carbon radical subsequently reacts with tosyl cyanide to afford the corresponding nitrile in a highly efficient manner. The present methodology is widely applicable to various starting materials including ethers, alcohols, amine derivatives, alkanes, and alkylbenzenes. This newly developed C-H cyanation protocol provides a powerful tool for selective one-carbon elongation for the construction of architecturally complex molecules.
