Dihalomucononitriles were synthesized and their reactivity evaluated to assess their ability to function as linchpin reagents. Bis(2-chloroacrylonitrile) and bis(2-bromoacrylonitrile) were synthesized from 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and undergo conjugate addition/elimination reactions with both nitrogen (40-95% yield) and carbon nucleophiles (72-93% yield). Secondary amines undergo monosubstitutions, while carbon nucleophiles are added twice. The sequence of addition of the nucleophiles could be controlled to give mixed addition products. The multicomponent coupling products could then be converted to natural product like motifs using intramolecular cyclization reactions.

A concise and catalyst-free aryltrifluoromethylative cyclization of unactivated alkenes has been developed herein. The use of PhICF3Cl as a powerful trifluoromethylating agent allows easy transformations. A set of trifluoroethylated carbocycles and aza-hereocycles were efficiently synthesized in good yield and selectivity. A broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, and easy operation would make this method well-suited for applications.

Catalyzed by an amidase-containing Rhodococcus erythropolis AJ270 microbial whole cell catalyst in neutral phosphate buffer at 30 °C, desymmetric hydrolysis of a series of prochiral 3-aryl and 3-arylmethylglutaramides efficiently afforded 3-substituted glutaric acid monoamides in up to 95% yield and >99.5% ee. Even far away from the reaction site, the substituents on the aryl still have a significant effect on the catalytic activity and enantioselectivity and different remote substituent effect was observed for the two types of substrates. The synthetic application of biocatalytic desymmetrization was demonstrated by the facile transformation of the obtained enantiopure (R)-3-substituted 4-carbamoylbutanoic acid products to chiral dihydroquinolinone and δ-lactone compounds. (Figure presented.).
