Herein we disclose a new photochemical process to prepare carboxylic acids from formate salts and alkenes. This redox-neutral hydrocarboxylation proceeds in high yields across diverse functionalized alkene substrates with excellent regioselectivity. This operationally simple procedure can be readily scaled in batch at low photocatalyst loading (0.01% photocatalyst). Furthermore, this new reaction can leverage commercially available formate carbon isotologues to enable the direct synthesis of isotopically labeled carboxylic acids. Mechanistic studies support the working model involving a thiol-catalyzed radical chain process wherein the atoms from formate are delivered across the alkene substrate via CO2?- as a key reactive intermediate.

C13 Norisoprenoids are important aroma compounds in wine, giving positive attributes to the overall wine aroma even when found at very low levels. β-Ionone is considered one of the most important aroma compounds giving violet, woody and raspberry aromas to wine, fruits and vegetables in which it is found. Due to its potent aroma at low levels, precise analytical methods are desired for its quantification. Stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) is one of the most important of these methods but requires the use of isotopically labelled standards. Herein, we describe the scalable synthesis of d6-β-ionone and d6-β-cyclocitral, another aroma compound with smokey and fruity notes, starting from the relatively inexpensive deuterated starting material d6-acetone.

The synergistic combination of N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalysis and transition-metal catalysis for a formal [3 + 2] annulation between 3-substituted but-2-enoates and 1-tosyl-2-vinylaziridine was developed. This cooperative strategy provides a facile and efficient access to various functionalized (E)-3-ethylidene-4-vinylpyrrolidin-2-ones in a regioselective and stereoselective manner. The preliminary asymmetric studies were also performed, which indicated a potential for enantioselective annulation of vinyl enolate intermediates with transition-metal-π-allyl species.
