- All-Carbon Tetrasubstituted Olefins Synthesis from Diazo Compounds and Iodonium Ylides under Blue LED Irradiation
-
A route for the construction of all-carbon tetra-substituted olefins through visible-light promoted coupling of diazo compounds with iodonium ylides was developed. A wide range of all-carbon tetra-substituted olefins was obtained in moderate to good yields. The synthetic values of the current method were further approved by the synthesis of natural isolates modified alkenes and the successful transformation of final olefins into important heterocycles. (Figure presented.).

- Visible Light-Promoted Sulfoxonium Ylides Synthesis from Aryl Diazoacetates and Sulfoxides
-
A visible light-promoted reaction of donor/acceptor diazoalkanes with sulfoxides towards the synthesis of synthetically useful sulfoxonium ylides was reported. The reaction occurred under sole visible light irradiation without the need of any transition-metals or additives, affording the corresponding sulfoxonium ylides in moderate to good yields. The success of late-stage modification of natural isolates or drug candidates, scale-up reaction and transformation of sulfoxonium ylides to other useful molecules further rendered the approach valuable.

A visible-light-promoted O-H insertion reaction between 2-pyridones and α-aryldiazoacetates has been developed. Upon visible light irradiation, the reaction proceeds smoothly under mild and catalyst-free conditions. A wide scope of 2-pyridones and α-aryldiazoacetates are well tolerated, and various O-alkylated 2-pyridones are obtained with perfect selectivity and good functional group tolerance. A photoinduced radical process is probably responsible for the excellent selectivity. This journal is

- Divergent Synthesis of Aziridine and Imidazolidine Frameworks under Blue LED Irradiation

We develop a visible light-promoted divergent cycloaddition of α-diazo esters with hexahydro-1,3,5-triazines, leading to a series of aziridine and imidazolidine frameworks in average good yield, by simply changing the reaction media used. It is noteworthy that the reaction occurs under sole visible light irradiation without the need for exogenous photoredox catalysts. More significantly, a reasonable reaction mechanism was proposed on the basis of the control experiments and density functional theory calculation results.

- Divergent Photocatalytic Reactions of α-Ketoesters under Triplet Sensitization and Photoredox Conditions
-
The long-lived triplet excited states of transition metal photocatalysts can activate organic substrates via either energy- or electron-transfer pathways, and the rates of these processes can be influenced by rational tuning of the reaction conditions. The characteristic reactive intermediates generated, however, are distinct and can exhibit very different reactivity patterns. This mechanistic diversity available to photocatalytic reactions might thus offer an opportunity to engineer divergent reactions that give markedly different chemical outcomes under superficially similar conditions. Herein, we show that the photocatalytic reactions of benzoylformate esters with alkenes can be directed toward either Paternò-Büchi cycloadditions or allylic functionalization reactions under conditions favoring energy transfer or electron transfer, respectively. These studies provide a framework for designing other divergent photocatalytic methods that produce different sets of reaction outcomes under photoredox and triplet sensitization conditions.

- Catalytic C-C coupling of diazo compounds with arylboronic acids: Using surface modified sewage sludge as catalyst
-
A green, mild and efficient synthesis of diarylmethines using sewage sludge-derived carbonaceous materials (SW) by perchloric acid catalyzed coupling reactions between diazo compounds and arylboronic acids was developed. The reaction shows a high level of functional tolerance and a broad substrate scope. Furthermore, the highly selective 1,2-alkyl shift products were furnished through the sterically demanding R4, R5 migration of diazo compounds (3-diazochromanone). The structures of 1,2-shift products have been further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Significantly, the synthesis of the core structures of darifenacin (a clinical drug for overactive bladder syndrome, OAB) and diclofensine (a stimulant drug showing antidepressant and monoamine reuptake inhibitor activity) further demonstrated the efficacy and synthetic potential of this method.

Cyclopropanation reactions of carbenes with arenes provide a straightforward pathway to norcaradienes or cycloheptatrienes. This reaction normally requires harsh reaction conditions or transition-metal catalysts. In this report, we describe the metal-free visible-light photolysis of aryl diazoacetates in aromatic solvents, which provides access to the norcaradiene ring system in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner. The mild reaction conditions of this approach also allow chemoselective cyclopropanation of substituted arenes without competing C-H functionalization reactions.

- Photochemical, Metal-Free Sigmatropic Rearrangement Reactions of Sulfur Ylides
-
Sigmatropic rearrangement reactions constitute one of the most fundamental reactions of carbenes. While state-of-the-art synthetic methods require the use of expensive precious metal catalysts, the application of visible light for the photolysis of α-aryldiazoacetates is much less investigated and provides an operationally simple entry to carbenes under mild reaction conditions. Herein, we report on blue-light induced sigmatropic rearrangement reactions of sulfur compounds with α-aryldiazoacetates. This process, depending on the substitution pattern of the sulfide, opens up formal insertion reactions of carbenes into S?N, S?C, or C?H bonds.

Enantioselection was achieved using a chiral bis(oxazoline) ligand, in many cases with high enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee). The method was applied to synthesize the core of a bioactive carbazole derivative in a concise manner.

Silver-mediated direct trifluoromethoxylation of α-diazo esters and ketosteroid was disclosed. The reactions of alkyl α-diazo arylacetates with AgOCF3 or CF3SO2OCF3/AgF at -30 to 10 °C under a N2 atmosphere provided α-trifluoromethoxyl arylacetates in up to 90% yield, while alkyl α-diazo vinylacetates reacting with CF3SO2OCF3/AgF or AgOCF3 afforded γ-trifluoromethoxyl α,β-unsaturated esters in up to 94% yield. The α-diazo ketosteroid was also trifluoromethoxylated under the standard reaction conditions. This protocol allows for an effective and convenient access to a large number of synthetic building blocks, which are promising in the development of new functional OCF3-molecules.

- Guide to enantioselective dirhodium(II)-catalyzed cyclopropanation with aryldiazoacetates Dedicated to Professor Melanie Sanford in recognition of her receipt of the Tetrahedron Young Investigator Award
-
Catalytic enantioselective methods for the generation of cyclopropanes have been of long standing pharmaceutical interest. Chiral dirhodium(II) catalysts prove to be an effective means for the generation of diverse cyclopropane libraries. Rh2(R-DOSP)4 is generally the most effective catalyst for asymmetric intermolecular cyclopropanation of methyl aryldiazoacetates with styrene. Rh2(S-PTAD)4 provides high levels of enantioinduction with ortho-substituted aryldiazoacetates. The less-established Rh2(R-BNP)4 plays a complementary role to Rh2(R-DOSP)4 and Rh2(S-PTAD)4 in catalyzing highly enantioselective cyclopropanation of 3-methoxy substituted aryldiazoacetates. Substitution on the styrene has only moderate influence on the asymmetric induction of the cyclopropanation.

- Catalytic Asymmetric C-H Activation of Alkanes and Tetrahydrofuran
-
Rhodium carbenoids derived from methyl aryldiazoacetates are capable of effective catalytic asymmetric C-H activation of a range of alkanes and tetrahydrofuran by a C-H insertion mechanism. Dirhodium tetrakis(S-(N-dodecylbenzenesulfonyl)prolinate) (Rh2(S-DOSP)4) catalyzed decomposition of methyl aryldiazoacetates in the presence of alkanes results in intermolecular C-H insertions with good control of regioselectivity, diastereoselectivity, and enantioselectivity. The carbenoids derived from methyl aryldiazoacetates are considerably more chemoselective than carbenoids derived from diazoacetates. They strongly favor C-H insertions into secondary and tertiary sites. Formation of side products due to carbene dimerization is not a major problem with rhodium carbenoids derived from aryldiazoacetates.
