- Photoinduced Diverse Reactivity of Diazo Compounds with Nitrosoarenes
-
A diverse reactivity of diazo compounds with nitrosoarene in an oxygen-transfer process and a formal [2 + 2] cycloaddition is reported. Nitosoarene has been exploited as a mild oxygen source to oxidize an in situ generated carbene intermediate under visible-light irradiation. UV-light-mediated in situ generated ketenes react with nitosoarenes to deliver oxazetidine derivatives. These operationally simple processes exemplify a transition-metal-free and catalyst-free protocol to give structurally diverse α-ketoesters or oxazetidines.

- Visible-light-promoted selective: O -alkylation of 2-pyridones with α-aryldiazoacetates
-
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.

A blue-light-emitting diode (LED) promoted coupling of aryl diazoacetates with sulfur ylides is described. This protocol features mild conditions, good functional group tolerance, and broad substrate scope for both aryl diazoacetates with sulfur ylides. Under optimal reaction conditions, a wide range of trisubstituted olefins is obtained in moderate to good yield, which can be further transferred to other biologically important heterocycles after a two-step simple operation.

- Copper on charcoal: Cu0nanoparticle catalysed aerobic oxidation of α-diazo esters
-
By using a charcoal supported nano Cu0catalyst (Cu/C), a highly efficient oxidation of α-diazo esters to α-ketoesters with molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant has been developed. In the presence of the Cu/C catalyst, 2-aryl-α-diazo esters with both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups can be oxidized to the corresponding α-ketoesters efficiently. Furthermore, this Cu/C catalyst can catalyse the reaction of aryl α-diazo ester with water to form aryl ketoester, 2-aryl-2-hydroxyl acetate ester and 2-aryl acetate ester. In this case, water is split by α-diazo ester, and the diazo group is displaced by the oxygen or hydrogen atom in water. Mechanistic investigation showed that the reaction of α-diazo ester with oxygen proceeds through a radical pathway. In the presence of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidine nitrogen oxide, the reaction of α-diazo ester with oxygen is dramatically inhibited. Furthermore, the reaction of α-diazo ester with water is investigated by an isotopic tracer method, and GCMS detection showed that a disproportionation reaction occurred between α-diazo ester and water.

- Room Temperature Coupling of Aryldiazoacetates with Boronic Acids Enhanced by Blue Light Irradiation
-
A visible-light-promoted photochemical protocol is reported for the coupling of aryldiazoacetates with boronic acids. This photochemical reaction shows great enhancement compared to the same protocol performed in the absence of light. Except for a few cases, the room temperature coupling in the dark (thermal process) generally does not work. When it does, it is likely to also involve free carbenes as key intermediates. Alternatively, photochemical reactions show a broad scope, can be performed under air and tolerate a wide variety of functional groups. Reaction-evolution monitoring, DFT calculations and control experiments have been used to evaluate the main aspects of this intricate mechanistic scenario. Biologically active molecules Adiphenine, Benactyzine and Aprophen have been prepared as examples of synthetic applications.

- Diazo Activation with Diazonium Salts: Synthesis of Indazole and 1,2,4-Triazole
-
A donor/acceptor diazo activation strategy, processing via condensation using diazonium salts without the addition of any other catalysts or reagents, is reported. The diazenium intermediate was found to undergo cyclization to give indazoles in excellent yields. Alternatively, in the presence of nitriles, substituted 1,2,4-triazoles were obtained in good to excellent yields. This interesting diazenium route provides a new approach to achieve complex heterocycle synthesis under mild conditions.

A thermal protocol is reported for the formal insertion of nitric acid into aryldiazoacetates using Fe(NO3)3·9H2O. This strategy is mild and high yielding and allows the preparation of a large variety of members of an unprecedented family of organic nitrates. The nitrate group can be also readily transformed into other functional groups and heterocyclic moieties and can possibly allow new biological explorations of untapped potential associated with their NO-releasing ability.

- Photoredox Decarboxylative C(sp3)-N Coupling of α-Diazoacetates with Alkyl N-Hydroxyphthalimide Esters for Diversified Synthesis of Functionalized N-Alkyl Hydrazones

Herein we report a metal-free photocatalytic coupling reaction for the synthesis of structurally and functionally diverse N-alkyl hydrazones from α-diazoacetates and N-alkyl hydroxyphthalimide esters. By employing Rose Bengal as a photocatalyst with yellow LEDs irradiation, over 60 N-alkyl hydrazones were synthesized. Fluorescence quenching analysis and deuterium incorporation experiments reveal that Hantzsch ester serves as both an electron donor and proton source for the reaction. This strategy offers a simple retrosynthetic disconnection for conventionally inaccessible C(sp3)-rich N-alkyl hydrazones.

A gold-catalyzed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction has been developed. The intermolecular rearrangement occurs between in situ generated donor-acceptor gold-carbenes and cinnamyl alcohols via tandem oxonium ylide formation. The desired rearranged product has been accomplished selectively over more conventional O-H insertion, cyclopropanation, cycloaddition, and C-H functionalization products under mild, open-air conditions. The scope of the work has been illustrated by synthesizing a new class of substrates that can be used for constructing complex molecular targets.

- Silver-mediated direct trifluoromethoxylation of α-diazo esters: Via the -OCF3 anion

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.

- gem-Difluoroolefination of Diazo Compounds with TMSCF3 or TMSCF2Br: Transition-Metal-Free Cross-Coupling of Two Carbene Precursors
-
A new olefination protocol for transition-metal-free cross-coupling of two carbene fragments arising from two different sources, namely, a nonfluorinated carbene fragment resulting from a diazo compound and a difluorocarbene fragment derived from Ruppert-Prakash reagent (TMSCF3) or TMSCF2Br, has been developed. This gem-difluoroolefination proceeds through the direct nucleophilic addition of diazo compounds to difluorocarbene followed by elimination of N2. Compared to previously reported Cu-catalyzed gem-difluoroolefination of diazo compounds with TMSCF3, which possesses a narrow substrate scope due to a demanding requirement on the reactivity of diazo compounds and in-situ-generated CuCF3, this transition-metal-free protocol affords a general and efficient approach to various disubstituted 1,1-difluoroalkenes, including difluoroacrylates, diaryldifluoroolefins, as well as arylalkyldifluoroolefins. In view of the ready availability of diazo compounds and difluorocarbene reagents and versatile transformations of 1,1-difluoroalkenes, this new gem-difluoroolefination method is expected to find wide applications in organic synthesis.

A mechanism involving a copper-difluorocarbene complex was proposed.

- 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.
