Green synthesis method of polyaryl substituted methanol

The invention relates to a green synthesis method of polyaryl substituted methanol, in particular to a method for efficiently synthesizing polyaryl substituted methanol in a polar aprotic solvent under the condition of an oxidizing agent by taking polyaryl substituted methane as a raw material and alkali as an additive. The method provided by the invention is green and environment-friendly, avoids using expensive metal catalysts, and has the advantages of low cost, few reaction steps, short time, high yield and the like.

Photocatalytic redox-neutral hydroxyalkylation of: N -heteroaromatics with aldehydes

Hydroxyalkylation of N-heteroaromatics with aldehydes was achieved using a binary hybrid catalyst system comprising an acridinium photoredox catalyst and a thiophosphoric acid organocatalyst. The reaction proceeded through the following sequence: (1) photoredox-catalyzed single-electron oxidation of a thiophosphoric acid catalyst to generate a thiyl radical, (2) cleavage of the formyl C-H bond of the aldehyde substrates by a thiyl radical acting as a hydrogen atom transfer catalyst to generate acyl radicals, (3) Minisci-type addition of the resulting acyl radicals to N-heteroaromatics, and (4) a spin-center shift, photoredox-catalyzed single-electron reduction, and protonation to produce secondary alcohol products. This metal-free hybrid catalysis proceeded under mild conditions for a wide range of substrates, including isoquinolines, quinolines, and pyridines as N-heteroaromatics, as well as both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, and tolerated various functional groups. The reaction was applicable to late-stage derivatization of drugs and their leads. This journal is

Transition-Metal Free Chemoselective Hydroxylation and Hydroxylation-Deuteration of Heterobenzylic Methylenes

We developed an approach for direct selective hydroxylation of heterobenzylic methylenes to secondary alcohols avoiding overoxidation to ketones by using a KOBu-t/DMSO/air system. Most reactions could reach completion in several minutes to give hydroxylated products in 41-76% yields. Using DMSO-d6, this protocol resulted in difunctionalization of heterobenzylic methylenes to afford α-deuterated secondary alcohols (>93% incorporation). By employing this method, active pharmaceutical ingredients carbinoxamine and doxylamine were synthesized in two steps in moderate yields.

Bifunctional Oxo-Tethered Ruthenium Complex Catalyzed Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Aryl N-Heteroaryl Ketones

A facile asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ortho-substituted aryl N-heteroaryl ketones and non-ortho-substituted N-oxide of aryl N-heteroaryl ketones using a readily available oxo-tethered ruthenium complex as a catalyst and sodium formate as a hydrogen source in an aqueous solution has been discovered. A variety of chiral aryl N-heteroaryl methanols were obtained with up to 99.9% ee.
