Regio- and stereoselective synthesis of bromoalkenes by homolytic hydrobromination of alkynes with hydrogen bromide

Homolytic hydrobromination of terminal and internal alkynes with a commercially available solution of hydrogen bromide in acetic acid has been investigated for regio- and stereoselective synthesis of bromoalkenes. Under an aerobic atmosphere at room temperature, the reaction of ethynylarenes with a small excess of HBr efficiently gave (2-bromoethenyl)arenes with good to high E-selectivity. (Alk-1-ynyl)arenes, or internal alkynes bearing both phenyl and alkyl groups at the sp-carbons also underwent the air-initiated hydrobromination to exhibit high Z-selectivity under kinetic conditions using a half equivalent of HBr.

Aminium cation-radical catalysed selective hydration of (E)-aryl enynes

The hydration of carbon-carbon triple bonds is an important and atom economic synthetic transformation. Herein, we report a mild and selective method for the catalytic Markovnikov hydration of (E)-aryl enynes to the corresponding enones, mediated through the bench-stable aminium salt, tris(4-bromophenyl)ammoniumyl hexachloroantimonate (TBPA). The chemoselective and diastereoselective method proceeds under neutral metal-free conditions, delivering excellent product yields from terminal and internal alkyne units. The synthesis of biologically important (E)-3-styrylisocoumarins, including a formal synthesis of the natural product achlisocoumarin III, demonstrates the utility of this novel transformation.

Iron(ii)-catalyzed intermolecular aziridination of alkenes employing hydroxylamine derivatives as clean nitrene sources

The iron-catalyzed intermolecular aziridination of alkenes with hydroxylamine derivatives is described. Using simple iron(ii) sources and readily available ligands, the formal (2 + 1) cycloaddition process proved to be efficient on both styrenes and aliphatic alkenes, providing access to a wide range of aziridines. In these particularly sustainable reaction conditions, yields up to 89% could be obtained, with a catalyst loading which could be lowered to 5 mol% when the reaction was performed on large scale. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that both concerted and stepwise pathways are operating in this transformation. This journal is
