Sodium amalgam mediated desulfonylative reduction of α-functionalized β-ketosulfones

Sodium amalgam mediated desulfonylative reduction of β-ketosulfones in MeOH at rt affords alcohols in good yields via radical desulfonylation of β-ketosulfones and sequential Bouveault-Blanc reduction of the resulting ketones.

Cyclization-endoperoxidation cascade reactions of dienes mediated by a pyrylium photoredox catalyst

Triarylpyrylium salts were employed as single electron photooxidants to catalyze a cyclization-endoperoxidation cascade of dienes. The transformation is presumed to proceed via the intermediacy of diene cation radicals. The nature of the diene component was investigated in this context to determine the structural requirements necessary for successful reactivity. Several unique endoperoxide structures were synthesized in yields up to 79%.
