Article Abstract

Various acyl radicals can be generated from the corresponding acyl triphenylmethyldiazo derivatives, produced by in situ oxidation of hydrazide precursors with phenylseleninic acid.

Thioesterification of Polyfluoroarenes via Copper-Catalyzed Radical Cross-Coupling with KS and Aldehydes in Water.

Org Lett

College of Materials and Chemical Engineering, Key Laboratory of Inorganic Nonmetallic Crystalline and Energy Conversion Materials, China Three Gorges University, Yichang, Hubei 443002, P. R. China.

A novel copper-catalyzed radical cross-coupling reaction for the thioesterification of polyfluoroarenes is developed using KS and aldehydes in water. This protocol employs a readily available KS as a sulfur source, eliminating the need for hazardous thiols and organic solvents. The mild reaction conditions are compatible with a wide range of functional groups, providing access to diverse polyfluoroaryl thioesters.

Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling of Aldehydes and Alkenes toward Skipped Enones.

The direct transformation of C-H bonds into C-C bonds via cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) represents a powerful strategy in synthetic chemistry, enabling streamlined bond construction without the need for prefunctionalized substrates. While traditional CDC approaches rely on polar mechanisms and preactivation of one of the C-H partners, recent advances have introduced radical-based strategies that employ a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) approach to access carbon-centered radicals from unactivated substrates. Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed CDC reaction between aldehydes and alkenes for the synthesis of skipped enones, leveraging aryl radicals as intermolecular HAT agents.

We demonstrate a direct synthesis of coumarin-3 derivatives from aryl alkynoates and hydrazines in visible light, photocatalyzed by rose bengal. The method is facile, transition-metal-free, versatile, and furnishes various 3-functionalized coumarins such as ester, acyl, aryl, carbamoyl, and sulfonyl in moderate to good yields, with the respective hydrazine reagent serving as the radical precursor. Two anti-TB molecules, and , were synthesized using this method.

Ynones are attractive molecular building blocks owing to their electrophilic character, which can be exploited in a variety of functionalization strategies, giving rise to valuable reaction products. This work presents a photochemical strategy for the direct generation of ynones from aldehydes and substituted alkynes bearing radicofugal groups, such as sulfones. Using TBADT (tetrabutylammonium decatungstate) as a photocatalyst, the direct photochemical synthesis of a variety of ynones is achieved in high yields and short reaction times.

Organocatalysis promoted by 1,2,3-triazolylidenes (MICs): carbenes which make a difference.

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) hold a unique significance in organometallic catalysis and are powerful organocatalysts for a variety of organic transformations involving crucial intermediates such as Breslow intermediates (BIs), deprotonated BIs (BI-s), ketyl radicals (KRs), and acyl azoliums (AAs). To address the remaining challenges facing reactions catalyzed by NHCs, non-classical stable carbenes, namely 1,2,3-triazolylidenes (MICs), cousins of NHCs, have shown great potential. MICs share similar features with typical NHCs but possess unique characteristics, such as enhanced σ-donor ability and absence of dimerization.
