We present herein a visible-light-induced [3 + 2] cycloaddition of a hypervalent iodine(III) reagent with α-ketoacids for the construction of 5-CF3-1,3,4-oxadiazoles that are of importance in medicinal chemistry. The reaction proceeds smoothly without a photocatalyst, metal, or additive under mild conditions. Different from the well-established trifluorodiazoethane (CF3CHN2), the diazotrifluoroethyl radical [CF3C(·)N2], a trifluoroethylcarbyne (CF3C?:) equivalent and an unusual CF3-containing building block, is involved in the present reaction system.

The transamination of α-keto acids with 2-phenylglycine is an effective methodology for directly synthesizing unprotected α-amino acids. However, the synthesis of 2-arylglycines by transamination is problematic because the corresponding products, 2-arylglycines, transaminate the starting arylglyoxylic acids. Herein, we demonstrate the use of commercially available l-2-(2-chlorophenyl)glycine as the nitrogen source in the transamination of arylglyoxylic acids, producing the corresponding 2-arylglycines without interference from the undesired self-transamination process.

Direct C3-H acylation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones with α-oxocarboxylic acids under thermo conditions promoted by PIDA has been achieved in a moderate to good yield in a very fast manner. Mechanistic study revealed that the reaction proceeds via a radical pro

A novel approach to 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles derivatives via a decarboxylative cyclization reaction by photoredox catalysis between commercially available α-oxocarboxylic acids and hypervalent iodine(III) reagent is described. This powerful transformation involves the coupling reaction between two different kinds of radical species and the formation of C-N and C-O bonds.

A photoredox/cobaloxime co-catalyzed coupling reaction of α-ketoacids and methacrylates to obtain allylic ketones is described. Without the cobaloxime catalyst, 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds are generated. The cobaloxime catalyst enables dehydrogenation to generate the formation of new olefins. The generality, good substrate scope and mild conditions are good features in the photoredox/cobaloxime catalysis protocol, and this method will provide new opportunities for the functionalization of more olefins.

The intermolecular radical addition to the carbonyl group is difficult due to the facile fragmentation of the resulting alkoxyl radical. To date, the intermolecular radical addition to ketones, a valuable approach to construct quaternary carbon centers, remains a formidable synthetic challenge. Here, we report the first visible-light-induced intermolecular alkyl boronic acid addition to α-ketoacids enabled by the Lewis acid activation. The in situ boron complex formation is confirmed by various spectroscopic measurements and mechanistic probing experiments, which facilitates various alkyl boronic acid addition to the carbonyl group and prevents the cleavage of the newly formed C-C bond. Diversely substituted lactates can be synthesized from readily available alkyl boronic acids and ketoacids at room temperature merely under visible light irradiation, without any additional reagent. This boron activation approach can be extended to alkyl dihydropyridines as radical precursors with external boron reagents for primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radical additions. The pharmaceutically useful anticholinergic precursors are easily scaled up in multigrams under metal-free conditions in flow reactors.

An environmentally benign and efficient electrochemical synthesis of enaminones via a decarboxylative coupling reaction of α-keto acids using n-Bu4NI as a redox catalyst and electrolyte under constant current electrolysis in an undivided cell is reported. A broad vinyl azide substrate scope and high functional group tolerance are observed. A gram-scale reaction further demonstrates the practicability of the protocol. The results of cyclic voltammetry and control experiments indicate that I2 is likely the active species to initiate the oxidative decarboxylation via an acyl hypoiodite intermediate.

An efficient Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-iminoesters was realized for the first time at 1 atm hydrogen pressure and room temperature. Pd(OAc)2, a less expensive Pd salt with low toxicity, was found to be the most suitable catalyst precursor rather than Pd(TFA)2 which is usually the catalyst of choice for homogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation. The chiral α-arylglycine fragments are widely found in many chiral products and bioactive molecules.

Carbon dioxide is an intrinsically stable molecule. Therefore, its activation requires extra energy input in the form of reactive reagents and/or activated catalysts and, often, harsh reaction conditions. Reported here is a direct carboxylation reaction of aromatic aldehydes with carbon dioxide to afford α-keto acids as added-value products. In situ generation of a reactive cyanohydrin was the key to the successful carboxylation reaction under operationally mild reaction conditions (25–40 °C, 1 atm CO2). The resulting α-keto acids served as a platform for α-amino acid synthesis by reductive amination reactions, illustrating the chemical synthesis of essential bioactive molecules from carbon dioxide.

Ynones are privileged building blocks in various organic syntheses of heterocyclic derivatives due to their multifunctional nature, and flavones are an important class of natural products with a wide range of biological activities. We describe the catalytic double decarboxylative alkynylation of arylpropiolic acids with α-keto acids. With Ag(I)/persulfate as the catalysis system, the valuable ynones bearing various substituents could be easily obtained. The introduction of hydroxyl substituent on ortho-site of α-keto acids make this strategy further applicable to the construction of flavone derivatives via heteroannulation in moderate to good yields with a similar silver-catalyzed system. The reactions proceed under relatively mild reaction conditions and tolerate a wide variety of functional groups. Control experiments indicated that both the reactions undergo radical processes. (Figure presented.).
