The conversion of olefin feedstocks to architecturally complex alkanes represents an important strategy in the expedient generation of valuable molecules for the chemical and life sciences. Synthetic approaches are reliant on the electrophilic activation of unactivated olefins, necessitating functionalization with nucleophiles. However, the reductive functionalization of unactivated and less activated olefins with electrophiles remains an ongoing challenge in synthetic chemistry. Here, we report the nucleophilic activation of inert styrenes through a photoinduced direct single electron reduction to the corresponding nucleophilic radical anion. Central to this approach is the multiphoton tandem photoredox cycle of the iridium photocatalyst [Ir(ppy)2(dtbbpy)] PF6, which triggers in situ formation of a high-energy photoreductant that selectively reduces styrene olefinic π bonds to radical anions without stoichiometric reductants or dissolving metals. This mild strategy enables the chemoselective reduction and hydrofunctionalization of styrenes to furnish valuable alkane and tertiary alcohol derivatives. Mechanistic studies support the formation of a styrene olefinic radical anion intermediate and a Birch-type reduction involving two sequential single electron transfers. Overall, this complementary mode of olefin activation achieves the hydrofunctionalization of less activated alkenes with electrophiles, adding value to abundant olefins as valuable building blocks in modern synthetic protocols.
Copper-catalyzed sp3-sp3 cross-coupling of turbo grignards with benzyl halides

The aromatic ring in benzyl halides and sulfonates imparts unique reactivity at the benzylic carbon atom. Photoredox sp3-sp3 cross-coupling proved ineffective for coupling p-methoxybenzyl chloride (PMBCl), leading to a new strategy for the sp3-sp3 cross-coupling of benzyl halides and sulfonates. This strategy involved LiCl-accelerated synthesis of a Grignard reagent followed by a copper-catalyzed cross-coupling. The conditions worked well for PMBCl due to its exceptional reactivity but other benzyl bromides or sulfonates reacted poorly.

A new series of diaryl heptanones (12a-q) were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by its 1H, 13C NMR and Mass spectral data. These analogs were evaluated for their anti-oxidant activity and potential to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase. Compounds 12k and 12o showed potent in vitro 5-lipoxygenase enzyme inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 22.2, 21.5 μM, which are comparable to curcumin (24.4 μM). Further they also have shown significant antioxidant activity. Molecular docking studies clearly showed correlation between binding energy and potency of these compounds.

In this study, we evaluated the chemical chaperone activity of synthetic 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) derivatives. These derivatives have a methoxy group at the benzene ring and/or longer or shorter fatty acid portions. Several 4-PBA derivatives demonstrated higher antiaggregation activity than 4-PBA. Moreover, 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)butanoic acid (7b) showed protective effects against endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced neuronal cell death.

Nickel-mediated inter- and intramolecular reductive cross-coupling of unactivated alkyl bromides and aryl iodides at room temperature
Yan, Chang-Song,Peng, Yu,Xu, Xiao-Bo,Wang, Ya-Wen
supporting information; experimental part, p. 6039 - 6048 (2012/06/18)
A nickel-mediated intermolecular reductive cross-coupling reaction of unactivated alkyl bromides and aryl iodides at room temperature has been developed and successfully extended to less explored intramolecular versions and tandem cyclization-intermolecular cross-coupling. Highly stereoselective (or stereospecific) synthesis of linear-fused perhydrofuro[2,3-b]furan (pyran) and spiroketal skeletons allows rapid access to these useful building blocks, which would be potentially valuable in the synthesis of relevant natural products. A rational explanation for the formation of contiguous stereogenic centers is given. Copyright

Organozinc compounds of functionalized alkyl iodide carrying an alkoxycarbonyl, cyano or alkenyl group were prepared in high yields under mild conditions (0°C-r.t., 10min in DMF) by the reaction of iodides with an electrogenerated reactive zinc (EGZn). Cross-coupling of the organozinc compounds with various aryl halides in the presence of 5 mol% Pd(P(o- Tol)3)2Cl2 in THF gave the corresponding cross-coupled products in moderate to high yields. These cross-coupling reactions can be also achieved in one step and in one pot by the use of an electrochemical method utilizing a Pt cathode and Zn anode.
