Hydroarylation is an effective strategy to rapidly increase the complexity of organic structures by transforming flat alkene moieties into three-dimensional frameworks. Many strategies have already been developed to achieve the hydroarylation of styrenes,
A general and stereoselective method for synthesis of tri- and tetrasubstituted alkenes

A convenient, general and stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted alkenes and tetrasubstituted alkenes containing a cyanide function as well as trisubstituted episulphides have been elaborated. Methodology described for the preparation of these compounds is based on the corresponding readily available selenophosphates 1 and thiophosphates 2.

Alkenes, conjugated with a phenyl group, can be converted to nonconjugated tautomers by sensitized (electron transfer) irradiation.For example, irradiation of an acetonitrile solution of the conjugated alkene 1-phenylpropene, the electron accepting photosensitizer 1,4-dicyanobenzene, the cosensitizer biphenyl, and the base 2,4,6-trimethylpiridine gave the nonconjugated tautomer 3-phenylpropene in good yield.Similarly, 2-methyl-1-phenylpropene gave 2-methyl-3-phenylpropene, and 1-phenyl-1-butene gave E- and Z-1-phenyl-2-butene.The reaction also works well with cyclic alkenes.For example, 1-phenylcyclohexene gave 3-phenylcyclohexene, and 1-(phenylmethylene)cyclohexane gave 1-(phenylmethyl)cyclohexene.The proposed mechanism involves the initial formation of the alkene radical cation and the sensitizer radical anion, induced by irradiation of the sensitizer and mediated by the cosensitizer.Deprotonation of the radical cation assisted by the base gives the ambident radical, which is then reduced to the anion by the sensitizer radical anion.Protonation of the ambident anion at the benzylic position completes the sequence.Reprotonation at the original position is an energy wasting step.Tautomerization is driven toward the isomer with the higher oxidation potential, which is, in the cases studied, the less thermodinamically stable isomer.The tautomerization of 2-methyl-1-phenylbutene gave both 2-phenylmethyl-1-butene and 2-methyl-1-phenyl-2-butene (E and Z isomers), while 2,3-dimethyl-1-phenylbutene gave only 3-methyl-2-phenylmethyl-1-butene.In the latter case, steric interaction of the methyls on the isopropyl group prevents effective overlap of the tertiary carbon-hydrogen bond with the singly occupied molecular orbital, thus inhibiting deprotonation from this site.Key words: photosensitized, electron transfer, alkene, tautomerization, radical cation.
