- Photoredox-Catalyzed α-Aminomethyl Carboxylation of Styrenes with Sodium Glycinates: Synthesis of γ-Amino Acids and γ-Lactams
-
A visible-light photoredox-catalyzed reductive α-aminomethyl carboxylation of styrenes with sodium glycinates and CO2 has been developed to synthesize a series of α,α-disubstituted γ-amino acids and γ-lactams with high efficiency and regioselectivity. Notably, CO2 released from the decarboxylation step can be reused for the subsequent carboxylation. Distinct from the previous reactions with the same type of substrates leading to simple decarboxylation and olefin hydroalkylation, this process involves additional CO2 sequestration, thus leading to olefin α-aminomethyl carboxylation. These findings not only provide new access to α,α-disubstituted γ-amino acids and γ-lactams but also serve as a proof of concept for CO2 reutilization in decarboxylation reactions.

- Direct 1,2-Dicarbonylation of Alkenes towards 1,4-Diketones via Photocatalysis
-
1,4-Dicarbonyl compounds are intriguing motifs and versatile precursors in numerous pharmaceutical molecules and bioactive natural compounds. Direct incorporation of two carbonyl groups into a double bond at both ends is straightforward, but also challenging. Represented herein is the first example of 1,2-dicarbonylation of alkenes by photocatalysis. Key to success is that N(n-Bu)4+ not only associates with the alkyl anion to avoid protonation, but also activates the α-keto acid to undergo electrophilic addition. The α-keto acid is employed both for acyl generation and electrophilic addition. By tuning the reductive and electrophilic ability of the acyl precursor, unsymmetric 1,4-dicarbonylation is achieved for the first time. This metal-free, redox-neutral and regioselective 1,2-dicarbonylation of alkenes is executed by a photocatalyst for versatile substrates under extremely mild conditions and shows great potential in biomolecular and drug molecular derivatization.

- Deaminative carbonylative coupling of alkylamines with styrenes under transition-metal-free conditions

A transition-metal-free deaminative carbonylation of alkylamines with styrenes has been developed. The reaction shows good functional group compatibility and various α,β-unsaturated ketones were obtained in moderate to good yields. The alkyl radical generated from Katritzky salts via base-promoted C-N bond cleavage is one of the key intermediates in this reaction. This journal is

- Bimolecular vinylation of arenes by vinyl cations
-
Styrene derivatives can be easily synthesized from vinyl triflates and arenes under mild reaction conditions, using [Li][Al(OC(CF3)3)4] as a catalyst and LiHMDS as a base. This transformation is likely to involve a vinyl cation intermediate as an electrophile, which is corroborated by DFT calculations, deuterium-labeling and other control experiments. The use of an inert weakly coordinating anion is a decisive factor in this bimolecular vinylation process. This journal is

- Cu/Ni-Catalyzed Cyanomethylation of Alkenes with Acetonitrile for the Synthesis of β,γ-Unsaturated Nitriles
-
We have developed a protocol for the Cu/Ni-catalyzed cyanomethylation of alkenes with acetonitrile for the synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated nitriles. This is the first example of a direct coupling of the alkene sp2 C - H bond and the acetonitrile sp3 C - H bond for the preparation of β,γ-unsaturated nitriles. Acetonitrile, an inexpensive and stable solvent, is demonstrated to be a useful cyanomethyl source. The combination of copper and nickel catalysts resulted in a high reaction efficiency.

- Method for synthesizing alpha,beta-unsaturated selenium compound
-
The invention belongs to the field of organic selenium chemistry, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing an alpha,beta-unsaturated selenium compound. The compound is synthesized by using an aryl boronic acid compound, elemental selenium and a diarylethene compound as reaction substrates. The method avoids toxic selenium-mercury reagents and toxic selenide reagents, conforms to the modern green development concept, and provides a green and economical method for synthesizing unsaturated selenium compounds in the future.

A new, general copper-catalyzed oxidative tandem [4+2] cycloaddition of α-(N-arylamino) carbonyl compounds with aryl alkenes to produce highly substituted quinolines has been developed, which allows the formation of three new C-C bonds through a sequence of multiple C-H functionalizations, annulation, and [1,2]-aryl shifts.

- Regioselective Transfer Hydrodeuteration of Alkenes with a Hydrogen Deuteride Surrogate Using B(C6F5)3 Catalysis
-
A regioselective hydrodeuteration of alkenes using monodeuterated cyclohexa-1,4-dienes as surrogates for hydrogen deuteride (HD) gas is reported. The metal-free process proceeds under B(C6F5)3 catalysis presumably by deuteride abstraction to form borodeuteride [DB(C6F5)3]a and highly Br?nsted-acidic Wheland intermediates. Low catalyst loadings (2.5 mol %) are used, and the reaction proceeds at room temperature.

-
This paper describes the synthesis of a new class of [N,P] ligands based on pyrrole with a dimethylamino group as hard donor and a phosphine moiety as soft base. We have also modified the phosphine fragment to change the electronic and steric properties of these ligands. Palladium complex 3a proved to be very efficient in Heck cross-coupling reactions and in intramolecular aryl-aryl couplings of esters and amides. We have demonstrated the applicability and efficiency of this novel catalyst in the total synthesis of the natural product arnottin I.

- General and practical one-pot synthesis of dihydrobenzosiloles from styrenes
-
A one-pot synthesis of dihydrobenzosiloles from styrenes has been developed. The reaction involves the nickel-catalyzed hydrosilylation of styrene with diphenylsilane, followed by the iridium-catalyzed dehydrogenative cyclization. This method is efficient for both electron-rich and -deficient styrenes and exhibits good functional group tolerance, as well as excellent regioselectivity. The forming dihydrobenzosiloles can be efficiently converted into valuable benzosiloles or 2-hydroxyphenethyl alcohols.

- Substituent effects in solvolysis of 1,1-diphenylethyl p-nitrobenzoates. Symmetrically disubstituted and monosubstituted systems
-
The rates of solvolysis of 1,1-diarylethyl p-nitrobenzoates and chlorides were determined conductimetrically at 25 °C in 80% (v/v) aqueous acetone. Applying the Yukawa-Tsuno (Y-T) equation, the symmetrical (X = Y) subseries gave a precise additivity relationship for the whole substituent range with a rsym value of -3.78 and an rsym value of 0.77. While any Y subsets gave statistically less reliable Y-T correlations, the apparent ρ value changed significantly depending on the fixed Y substituents; the ρ value decreases with the more electron-donating fixed substituents Y, which is compatible with the Hammond shift of the transition state coordinate. Nevertheless, the concave correlations of the More O'Ferrall non-linearity relationship for any Y subsets are not in line with what is expected from the reactivity-selectivity relationship suggesting an anti-Hammond shift of transition state. However, we found a precise extended Bronsted relationship between the pKR+ values of 1,1-diarylethylenes and solvolysis rate process with a constant slope of α = 1.03 ± 0.03. This is direct evidence indicating that there is no significant shift of the transition-state coordinate over the whole range of substituent change. Copyright
