Article Abstract

The first radical addition to mesoionic heterocycles, enabling direct functionalization of sydnones with perfluoroalkyl groups with retention of the mesoionic structure, is described. The fluorinated sydnones were subsequently involved in the energy-transfer-mediated cycloaddition with silyl enol ethers. This approach provides efficient access to medicinally relevant perfluoroalkylated pyrazole derivatives with complete regiocontrol.

ConspectusMolecular photochemistry, by harnessing the excited states of organic molecules, provides a platform fundamentally distinct from thermochemistry for generating reactive open-shell or spin-active species under mild conditions. Among its diverse applications, the resurgence of the Minisci-type reaction, a transformation historically reliant on thermally initiated radical conditions, has been fueled by modern photochemical strategies with improved efficiency and selectivity. Consequently, the photochemical Minisci-type reaction ranks among the most enabling methods for C()-H functionalizations of heteroarenes, which are of particular significance in medicinal chemistry for the rapid diversification of bioactive scaffolds.

Ligand-Enabled Cu-Catalyzed Deoxyalkynylation of α-Unfunctionalized Alcohols with Terminal Alkynes.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

Despite the widespread utility of transition metal-catalyzed cross-couplings in organic synthesis, the coupling of unactivated alkyl electrophiles remains challenging due to sluggish oxidative addition and competing side reactions. Here, we describe a general and practical copper-catalyzed radical deoxyalkynylation of α-unfunctionalized alcohols through a synergistic combination of Barton-McCombie deoxygenation and copper-catalyzed radical cross-coupling. Key to the success of this method lies in not only the development of rigid anionic multiple N,N,N-ligand to exert remarkable selectivity of highly reactive unactivated alkyl radicals, but also the selection of one suitable oxidant to suppress Glaser homocoupling and other side products.

We report a glycosyl radical-based, 1,2-trans-selective synthesis of C-aryl glycosides of 2-deoxy-2-amino-sugars from glycals via photoredox PCET/Ni dual catalysis. Mechanistic studies indicate that glycosyl radical formation involves the generation of an N-radical through a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process, followed by its addition to the glycal. This protocol features: a) the use of an inexpensive organic photosensitizer and readily available glycals and aryl bromides; b) good functional group tolerance for both aryl bromides and glycal substrates; c) excellent diastereoselectivity, with exclusive formation of the 1,2-trans C-glycosides in all cases.
