Article Abstract

An efficient silver-catalyzed -selective amination and aminative dearomatization of phenols with azodicarboxylates was developed. It afforded the -aminophenols or amino cyclohexadieneones from free phenols depending on whether it has a -substituent. The reaction proceeded smoothly in water under simple and mild conditions, giving the highly selective products in good yields within a short reaction time. It also showed broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility.

Silver-Catalyzed Difluorocarbene Activation Enables Multicomponent Synthesis of δ,γ-Unsaturated β-Hydroxynitriles.

State Key Laboratory for Conservation and Utilization of Bio-Resources in Yunnan, Key Laboratory of Medicinal for Natural Resource, Ministry of Education and Yunnan Province, School of Pharmacy, School of Chemical Science and Technology, Yunnan University, Kunming 650091, China.

Herein, we report an efficient and general one-pot multicomponent strategy, innovatively developed for the construction of δ,γ-unsaturated β-hydroxy nitrile scaffolds. Using readily available aldehydes and ketones as starting materials and TMSCFBr as a difluorocarbene precursor, the transformation proceeds via tandem Aldol condensation, a difluorocarbene electrophilic reaction, and hydrolysis. Mechanistic studies revealed that the difluorocarbene activates the oxygen atom of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group through electrophilic orientation, significantly enhancing the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon, thereby driving the reaction to proceed with high selectivity via a 1,2-addition pathway.

Silver-Catalyzed Unusual Cyclization and Skeletal Rearrangement to Selectively Synthesize 2D Benzo[]fluorenones and 3D Barbaralone Rings.

A silver-catalyzed strategy that divergently constructs either planar benzo[]fluorenones or three-dimensional barbaralones from common alkynol precursors, governed solely by ligand and silver salt, is reported. This protocol enables rapid molecular complexity enhancement (up to a 91% yield). In addition, mechanistic studies suggest that the alkalinity of silver salt is the key point to distinguish the two types of reaction and binuclear silver complexes would be more likely to be a transition state rather than the radical species.

Silver-Catalyzed Synthesis of Isoquinolones via Oxazole Ring Opening.

J Org Chem

Laboratory of Advanced Chemistry and Next Generation Energy Chemistry Joint Research Laboratory, Gifu Pharmaceutical University, 1-25-4 Daigaku-nishi, Gifu 501-1196, Japan.

A novel method for synthesizing isoquinolones has been developed, involving the use of a silver(I)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization and an oxazole ring-opening reaction. The 6--dig cyclization from oxazole results in the formation of the isoquinolone core with a high degree of yield and selectivity. This method is executed under mild conditions, utilizing silver acetate as a cost-effective catalyst.

Silver-catalyzed generation of acyl radicals from α-imino-oxy acids: access to acylated 3-CF-2-oxindoles.

A unified strategy to generate acyl radicals from α-imino-oxy acids selective C-C bond activation is reported. In the presence of a silver catalyst, α-imino-oxy acids could undergo decarboxylation and N-O and C-C bond homolysis to deliver the acyl radicals, which were subsequently captured by -alkyl--aryl-2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylamides to access acylated 3-CF-2-oxindoles.
