Readily accessible tetraorganoborate salts undergo selective coupling reactions under blue light irradiation in the presence of catalytic amounts of transition-metal-free acridinium photocatalysts to furnish unsymmetrical biaryls, heterobiaryls and arylated olefins. This represents an interesting conceptual approach to forge C?C bonds between aryl, heteroaryl and alkenyl groups under smooth photochemical conditions. Computational studies were conducted to investigate the mechanism of the transformation.

A one-pot synthesis of epoxides from commercially available benzyl alcohols and aldehydes is described. The reaction proceeds through in situ generation of sulfonium salts from benzyl alcohols and their subsequent deprotonation for use in Corey–Chaykovsky epoxidation of aldehydes. The generality of the method is exemplified by the synthesis of 34 epoxides that were made from an array of electronically and sterically varied alcohols and aldehydes.

A high yielding synthesis of stilbene oxides using ammonium ylides has been developed. It turned out that the amine leaving group plays a crucial role as trimethylamine gives higher yields than DABCO or quinuclidine. The amine group also influences the diastereoselectivity, and detailed DFT calculations to understand the key parameters of these reactions have been carried out.

The Lewis-acid catalyzed rearrangement of parent trans-stilbene oxide 1 was studied with M(OTf)3/DCM and M(OTf)3/[BMIM][BF 4] (M = Bi, Al, Ga, Sc, and Yb; [BMIM] = butylmethylimidazolium) and Zn(NTf2)2, and with Bi(OTf)3/[BMIM][X] (X = NTf2, OTf, PF6, and BF4), employing 5 mol% of catalyst. Selective formation of 2,2-dipheylacetaldehyde 2 (phenyl migration product) was observed in all cases, with Bi(OTf)3 proving most efficient. The rearrangement of 1 was also effected in [BMIM][X] (X = NTf 2, OTf, PF6, and BF4) without an added catalyst under microwave MW irradiation, and X = PF6 gave the highest yield and selectivity. Efficient and selective rearrangement of 1-2 was also observed with 0.1-0.3 equiv. of [BMIM(SO3H)][OTf] in DCM and in [BMIM][X]. A substituent effect study was performed with a series of singly substituted 1,2-diphenyl oxiranes (with X = OMe, Me, F, CN, and NO2) with 5 mol% Bi(OTf)3 in DCM and in [BMIM][NTf2]. Notable formation of ketones was observed with the NO2 and CN derivatives. Competing formation of ketones was also observed in [BMIM][PF6] under MW and under Br?nsted acid catalysis with [BMIM(SO3H)][OTf] in DCM and in [BMIM][NTf2]. The aryl versus H migration was studied computationally by DFT and MP2 methods and by including solvation effects (IEFPCM).

Visible light-mediated oxidative quenching reaction to electron-rich epoxides: Highly regioselective synthesis of α-bromo (di)ketones and mechanism study

, p. 5787 - 5792 (2013/09/12)
A novel and simple procedure was developed for the regioselective synthesis of α-bromo (di)ketones from electron-rich epoxides via visible light photoredox catalysis. Through optimization of solvent and light source, the reaction can be rapidly achieved under mild conditions. Moreover, the possible reaction mechanism was proposed and further supported by control experiments.

The chiral sulfide, isothiocineole, has been synthesized in one step from elemental sulfur, γ-terpinene, and limonene in 61% yield. A mechanism involving radical intermediates for this reaction is proposed based on experimental evidence. The application of isothiocineole to the asymmetric epoxidation of aldehydes and the aziridination of imines is described. Excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities have been obtained over a wide range of aromatic, aliphatic, and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes using simple protocols. In aziridinations, excellent enantioselectivities and good diastereoselectivities were obtained for a wide range of imines. Mechanistic models have been put forward to rationalize the high selectivities observed, which should enable the sulfide to be used with confidence in synthesis. In epoxidations, the degree of reversibility in betaine formation dominates both the diastereoselectivity and the enantioselectivity. Appropriate tuning of reaction conditions based on understanding the reaction mechanism enables high selectivities to be obtained in most cases. In aziridinations, betaine formation is nonreversible with semistabilized ylides and diastereoselectivities are determined in the betaine forming step and are more variable as a result.

This work describes an expeditious and efficient preparation of enantiopure (thiolan-2-yl)diphenylmethanol (2) featuring a double nucleophilic substitution and Shi epoxidation as key steps. One of the applications of its benzyl ether derivative to asymmetric sulfur ylide-mediated epoxidation with up to 92% ee (14 examples) was also demonstrated herein.

, p. 13538 - 13541 (2012/10/08)
In this report, we describe an iron(III) complex containing a carbazole-based tridentate ligand that catalyzes highly enantioselective asymmetric epoxidation of (E)-alkenes at room temperature. The non-heme iron(III) complex has a five-coordinated trigonal-bipyramidal structure, and its two-electron oxidized state has the similar electronic structure as that of iron porphyrins.

The 4-ulose and the 3-ulose, both derived in two steps from the α-methyl glycoside of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), act as organocatalysts in the asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes, with unprecedented complementary enantioselectivity. The best results are found with α,β-unsaturated esters as substrates, with enantiomeric ratios up to 90:10 and 11:89, respectively. Copyright
