A mild light-driven protocol for the direct alkylation of phenols is reported. The process is driven by the photochemical activity of a halogen-bonded complex formed upon complexation of the in situ generated electron-rich phenolate anion with the α-iodosulfone. The reaction proceeds rapidly (10 min) under microfluidic conditions, delivering a wide variety of ortho-alkylated products (27 examples, up to 97% yield, >20:1 regioselectivity, on a gram scale), including densely functionalized bioactive phenol derivatives.

The modification of highly oxygenated forskolin as well as manoyl and epi-manoyl oxide, two less functionalized model substrates sharing the same polycyclic skeleton, via intermolecular carbon-centered radical addition to the vinyl moiety has been investigated. Highly regio- A nd reasonably stereoselective iodine atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) reactions were developed. Unprotected forskolin afforded an unexpected cyclic ether derivative. Protection of the 1,3-diol as an acetonide led the formation of the iodine ATRA product. Interestingly, by changing the mode of initiation of the radical process, in situ protection of the forskolin 1,3-diol moiety as a cyclic boronic ester took place during the iodine ATRA process without disruption of the radical chain process. This very mild radical-mediated in situ protection of 1,3-diol is expected to be of interest for a broad range of radical and non-radical transformations. Finally, by using our recently developed tert-butyl?-catechol-mediated hydroalkylation procedure, highly efficient preparation of forskolin derivatives bearing an extra ester or sulfone group was achieved.

Detailed herein is the photochemical organocatalytic enantioselective α-alkylation of aldehydes with (phenylsulfonyl)alkyl iodides. The chemistry relies on the direct photoexcitation of enamines to trigger the formation of reactive carbon-centered radicals from iodosulfones, while the ground-state chiral enamines provide effective stereochemical control over the radical trapping process. The phenylsulfonyl moiety, acting as a redox auxiliary group, facilitates the generation of radicals. In addition, it can eventually be removed under mild reducing conditions to reveal methyl and benzyl groups.
