Alkyl Halides via Visible Light Mediated Dehalogenation

Net selective bromination and chlorination of activated C-H bonds can be effected in generally high yield via a simple perhalogenation/dehalogenation sequence. The photochemical reductions require no photocatalyst, relying instead on the formation of an electron donor-acceptor complex of the substrate and reductant, or alternatively autophotocatalysis. Some reactions proceed despite any apparent photon absorption, serving as a cautionary tale for other photochemical reactions involving amines. Mechanistic experiments provide an explanation for this observation.

Photochemical benzylic bromination in continuous flow using BrCCl3 and its application to telescoped p-methoxybenzyl protection

BrCCl3 represents a rarely used benzylic brominating reagent with complementary reactivity to other reagents. Its reactivity has been revisited in continuous flow, revealing compatibility with electron-rich aromatic substrates. This has brought about the development of a p-methoxybenzyl bromide generator for PMB protection, which was successfully demonstrated on a pharmaceutically relevant intermediate on 11 g scale, giving 91% yield and a PMB-Br space-time-yield of 1.27 kg L?1 h?1

One-pot synthesis of 3,5-diaryl substituted-1,2,4-oxadiazoles using gem -dibromomethylarenes

1,2,4-Oxadiazole is one of the most promising heterocyclic ring systems in medicinal chemistry. In the present paper, we report the method for an efficient one-pot synthesis of 3,5-diaryl substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles using a two-component reaction of gem-dibromomethylarenes with amidoximes in good yields. In this method, gem-dibromomethylarenes are used as benzoic acid equivalents for the efficient synthesis of aryl-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. It is anticipated that this methodology will have versatile applications in the practical syntheses of various molecules of both medicinal and material chemistry importance.

A Traceless Tether Strategy for Achieving Formal Intermolecular Hexadehydro-Diels-Alder Reactions

A synthetic strategy formally equivalent to an intermolecular hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) reaction is described. Sulfur-based linkers were designed and constructed by joining terminal alkynes or diynes using alkyne thiolate chemistry. The resulting tetraynes and triynes successfully underwent HDDA cyclization and benzyne trapping. Linker removal by reductive desulfurization was uneventful. The strategy was also found suitable for the tetradehydro-Diels-Alder (TDDA) reaction.

Visible-Light-Driven Oxidative Mono- and Dibromination of Benzylic sp 3 C-H Bonds with Potassium Bromide/Oxone at Room Temperature

Benzylic sp 3 C-H bonds have been successfully brominated with potassium bromide by using Oxone as an oxidant in water/dichloromethane under visible light at room temperature. Toluene, ethylbenzene and other alkylbenzenes bearing an electron-withdrawing group, such as Br, Cl, COMe, CO 2 Et, CO 2 H, CN or NO 2, provide the corresponding benzylic monobromides in good to excellent yields in this reaction. Dibromides can also be produced in the presence of excess potassium bromide in a prolonged reaction time. Control of the illuminance of visible light (~500 lux) is crucial to achieving both high yield and high selectivity in these brominations. Mono- and difluorides can be conveniently prepared through nucleophilic substitutions of the benzylic bromides with potassium fluoride.

Copper-Catalyzed Double C(sp3)-Si Coupling of Geminal Dibromides: Ionic-to-Radical Switch in the Reaction Mechanism

A method for converting geminal dibromides into 1,1-disilylated alkanes is reported. The reaction is promoted by a copper(I) catalyst generated in situ from CuBr·SMe2 as a precatalyst and 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine (dtbpy) as a ligand. A Si-B reagent is used as the silicon pronucleophile. It is shown that the two C(sp3)-Si bond-forming events differ in mechanism, with the first being ionic and the second being radical.

Method for preparing benzyl bromide

The invention provides a method for preparing benzyl bromide. The method comprises the following steps: by taking bromine released from a redox reaction between bromates and negative bromide ions in the presence of an acid as a bromine source in an organic solvent, carrying out a benzyl radical substitution reaction with a methylbenzene compound shown as a formula I under initiation of an initiator, thereby obtaining a corresponding benzyl bromide compound shown a formula II, wherein in the formula II, m represents the number of Br and is equal to 1 or 2; when m is equal to 1, the formula II shows a benzyl monobromo compound; and when m is equal to 2, the formula II shows a benzyl dibromo compound. The reaction is carried out in an organic solvent, the initiator is combined and used, the radical substitution reaction is high in selectivity and wide in substrate application range, the substituent group replacing methylbenzene may be an electron-withdrawing group or an electron-donating group and can give extremely high yield on strong electron-donating groups (such as methoxy group). Moreover, the method disclosed by the invention is also applicable to preparation of benzyl dibromo compounds, and the product yield is high.

The method has mild synthesis conditions and has good reaction compatibility to different functional groups. The gem-dibromomethyl aromatic hydrocarbon compound as a raw material is easy to synthesize, may have different substituent groups and has a variable structure. The product obtained by coupling a raw material can be simply treated and has high purity. The asymmetric trans-diphenylethylene compound can be prepared from two different raw materials.
