Decarboxylative Borylation of mCPBA-Activated Aliphatic Acids

A decarboxylative borylation of aliphatic acids for the synthesis of a variety of alkylboronates has been developed by mixing m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA)-activated fatty acids with bis(catecholato)diboron in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at room temperature. A radical chain process is involved in the reaction which initiates from the B-B bond homolysis followed by the radical transfer from the boron atom to the carbon atom with subsequent decarboxylation and borylation.

Synthetic Utility of N-Benzoyloxyamides as an Alternative Precursor of Acylnitrenoids for γ-Lactam Formation

Described herein is the development of a new entry of acylnitrenoid precursors for γ-lactam synthesis via an intramolecular C-H amidation reaction. Upon Ir catalysis, N-benzoyloxyamides serve as efficient substrates to afford 5-membered amides. Mechanistic studies revealed that the generation of a putative Ir-carbonylnitrenoid via N-O bond cleavage is facilitated by the chelation of countercations. This protocol offers a convenient and step-economic route to γ-lactams starting from the corresponding carboxylic acids.
