Decarboxylative 1,4-Addition of α-Oxocarboxylic Acids with Michael Acceptors Enabled by Photoredox Catalysis

Enabled by iridium photoredox catalysis, 2-oxo-2-(hetero)arylacetic acids were decarboxylatively added to various Michael acceptors including α,β-unsaturated ester, ketone, amide, aldehyde, nitrile, and sulfone at room temperature. The reaction presents a new type of acyl Michael addition using stable and easily accessible carboxylic acid to formally generate acyl anion through photoredox-catalyzed radical decarboxylation.

Acyl radicals from α-keto acids using a carbonyl photocatalyst: Photoredox-catalyzed synthesis of ketones

Acyl radicals have been generated from α-keto acids using inexpensive and commercially available 2-chloro-thioxanthen-9-one as the photoredox catalyst under visible light illumination. These reactive species added to olefins or coupled with aryl halides via a bipyridylstabilized Ni(II) catalyst, enabling easy access to a diverse range of ketones. This reliable, atom-economical, and eco-friendly protocol is compatible with a wide range of functional groups.

Cu(OAc)2-Triggered Cascade Reaction of Malonate-Tethered Acyl Oximes with Indoles, Indole-2-alcohols, and Indole-2-carboxamides

A Cu(OAc)2-promoted cascade reaction of malonate-tetherd acyl oximes with indoles, indole-2-alcohols, or indole-2-carboxmides provides facile access to polysubstituted 3-pyrrolin-2-ones. The reaction features the generation of two adjacent elec

Photoredox-Catalyzed Hydroacylation of Olefins Employing Carboxylic Acids and Hydrosilanes

A hydroacylation reaction of alkenes has been achieved employing readily available carboxylic acids as the acyl source and hydrosilanes as a hydrogen source via photoredox catalysis. The combination of both single electron transfer and hydrogen atom transfer steps has dramatically expanded new applications of carboxylic acids in organic synthesis. The protocol also features extremely mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance, affording a novel and convenient approach to hydroacylation of alkenes.

Decarboxylative Giese-Type Reaction of Carboxylic Acids Promoted by Visible Light: A Sustainable and Photoredox-Neutral Protocol

We describe herein a transition-metal-free method for the decarboxylative generation of radicals from carboxylic acids and their 1,4-addition to Michael acceptors. The Fukuzumi catalyst (9-mesitylene-10-methylacridinium perchlorate, [Acr-Mes]ClO4) enabled this transformation under visible-light irradiation at room temperature with CO2 as the only byproduct. The scope and limitations of this protocol were examined by using a range of Michael acceptors (15 examples) and carboxylic acids (18 examples). The use of 3-hydroxypivalic acid in this protocol allowed the straightforward formation of a diastereomerically pure δ-lactone. Moreover, when a homoallylic acid was used, a radical cascade reaction took place with the formation of three C–C bonds.

Zinc-Mediated Allylation Followed by Lactonization of Dialkyl 2-(3-Oxo-1,3-diarylpropyl)malonates: Construction of δ-Lactones with Multiple Stereocenters

A variety of polysubstituted δ-lactones containing three or four stereocenters were prepared from various dialkyl 2-(3-oxo-1,3-diarylpropyl)malonates by a Barbier-type zinc-mediated allylation or cyclohexenylation of the keto group, followed by intramolec
