- Aqueous and Visible-Light-Promoted C-H (Hetero)arylation of Uracil Derivatives with Diazoniums
-
Direct C5 (hetero)arylation of uracil and uridine substrates with (hetero)aryl diazonium salts under photoredox catalysis with blue light was reported. The coupling proceeds efficiently with diazonium salts and heterocycles in good functional group tolerance at room temperature in aqueous solution without transition-metal components. A plausible radical mechanism has been proposed.

- Metal-Free Visible-Light Synthesis of Arylsulfonyl Fluorides: Scope and Mechanism
-
The first metal-free procedure for the synthesis of arylsulfonyl fluorides is reported. Under organo-photoredox conditions, aryl diazonium salts react with a readily available SO2 source (DABSO) to afford the desired product through simple nucleophilic fluorination. The reaction tolerates the presence of both electron-rich and -poor aryls and demonstrated a broad functional group tolerance. To shed the light on the reaction mechanism, several experimental techniques were combined, including fluorescence, NMR, and EPR spectroscopy as well as DFT calculations.

- Aryl Diazonium Salts: Powerful Arylating Agents for Catellani-Typeortho-Arylation
-
The Catellani reaction provides an efficient synthetic approach to polyfunctionalized arenes. However, the selectiveortho-arylating reagents employed in these reactions have been strictly limited to activated bromoarenes. As demonstrated in this work, aryl diazonium salts bearing both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents, after in situ transformations with KI into the corresponding iodoarenes, were efficient arylating reagents for Catellani typeortho-arylation approaches.

- Modular and Selective Arylation of Aryl Germanes (C?GeEt3) over C?Bpin, C?SiR3 and Halogens Enabled by Light-Activated Gold Catalysis
-
Selective C (Formula presented.) –C (Formula presented.) couplings are powerful strategies for the rapid and programmable construction of bi- or multiaryls. To this end, the next frontier of synthetic modularity will likely arise from harnessing the coupling space that is orthogonal to the powerful Pd-catalyzed coupling regime. This report details the realization of this concept and presents the fully selective arylation of aryl germanes (which are inert under Pd0/PdII catalysis) in the presence of the valuable functionalities C?BPin, C?SiMe3, C?I, C?Br, C?Cl, which in turn offer versatile opportunities for diversification. The protocol makes use of visible light activation combined with gold catalysis, which facilitates the selective coupling of C?Ge with aryl diazonium salts. Contrary to previous light-/gold-catalyzed couplings of Ar–N2+, which were specialized in Ar–N2+ scope, we present conditions to efficiently couple electron-rich, electron-poor, heterocyclic and sterically hindered aryl diazonium salts. Our computational data suggest that while electron-poor Ar–N2+ salts are readily activated by gold under blue-light irradiation, there is a competing dissociative deactivation pathway for excited electron-rich Ar–N2+, which requires an alternative photo-redox approach to enable productive couplings.

- Highly Efficient Synthesis of Hindered 3-Azoindoles via Metal-Free C-H Functionalization of Indoles
-
Although 3-azoindoles have recently emerged as an appealing family of photoswitch molecules, the synthesis of such compounds has been poorly covered in the literature. Herein a high-yielding and operationally simple protocol is reported allowing the synthesis of 3-azoindoles, featuring important steric hindrance around the azo motif. Remarkably, this C-H coupling is characterized by excellent atom economy and occurs under metal-free conditions, at room temperature, and within few minutes, delivering the expected products in excellent yields (quantitatively in most of the cases). Accordingly, a library of new molecules, with potential applications as photochromic compounds, is prepared.

- Synthesis of Chiral Sulfonyl Lactones via Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Radical Reaction of DABCO?(SO2)
-
In the present work, an asymmetric copper-catalyzed radical multi-component cascade reaction of an unsaturated carboxylic acid, aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborate, and DABCO?(SO2)2 (DABSO) has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of sulfonyl lactones. In this reaction, this SO2 surrogate, DABSO was applied for the first time in the construction of chiral compounds. This multiple-step asymmetric radical reaction was carried out under mild conditions and tolerated a wide range of substrates, resulting in the corresponding sulfonyl lactones with up to 95% chemical yields and 88% ee. The current reaction enriches the research contents of DABSO, and provides a new and efficient strategy to chiral functionalized lactones bearing quarternary stereogenic center. (Figure presented.).

- Photoredox Catalysis Induced Bisindolylation of Ethers/Alcohols via Sequential C-H and C-O Bond Cleavage
-
A visible-light-engaged 2-fold site-selective alkylation of indole derivatives with aliphatic ethers or alcohols has been accomplished for easy access to symmetric 3,3′-bisindolylmethane derivatives. The experimental data suggest a sequential photoredox catalysis induced radical addition and proton-mediated Friedel-Crafts alkylation mechanism.

- Combining Sanford Arylations on Benzodiazepines with the Nuisance Effect
-
5-Phenyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones react under palladium- and visible light photoredox catalysis, in refluxing methanol, with aryldiazonium salts to afford the respective 5-(2-arylphenyl) analogues. With 2- or 4-fluorobenzenediazonium derivatives, both fluoroaryl- and methoxyaryl- products were obtained, the latter resulting from a SNAr on the fluorobenzenediazonium salt (“nuisance effect”). A computational DFT analysis of the palladium-catalysed and the palladium/ruthenium-photocalysed mechanism for the functionalization of benzodiazepines indicated that, in the presence of the photocatalyst, the reaction proceeds via a low-energy SET pathway avoiding the high-energy oxidative addition step in the palladium-only catalysed reaction pathway. (Figure presented.).

- Synthesis of difluoromethyl thioethers from difluoromethyl trimethylsilane and organothiocyanates generated in situ
-
A copper-CF2H complex generated in situ from copper thiocyanate and TMS-CF2H smoothly converts organothiocyanates into valuable difluoromethyl thioethers. This reaction step can be combined with several thiocyanation methods to one-pot protocols, allowing late-stage difluoromethylthiolations of widely available alkyl halides and arenediazonium salts. This strategy enables the introduction of difluoromethylthio groups - a largely unexplored substituent with highly promising properties - into drug-like molecules.

An unprecedented spontaneous reactivity between diazonium salts and diboronic acid has been unveiled, leading to a versatile arylboronic acid synthesis directly from (hetero)arylamines. This fast reaction (35 min overall) tolerates a wide range of functional groups and is carried out under very mild conditions. The radical nature of the reaction mechanism has been investigated.
