In recent decades, difunctionalization of alkenes has received considerable attention as an efficient and straightforward way to increase molecular complexity. However, examples of the difunctionalization of alkenes initiated by the intermolecular addition of alkoxycarbonyl radicals providing substituted alkanoates are still rare. Herein, we present the visible light-driven metal-free divergent difunctionalization of alkenes triggered by the intermolecular addition of alkoxycarbonyl radicals under ambient conditions. Employing alkyl formates as precursors of alkoxycarbonyl radicals and 4CzIPN as the photocatalyst, a variety of substituted alkanoates, including β-alkoxy, β-hydroxy, β-dimethoxymethoxy, and β-formyloxy alkanoates, could be facilely accessed with high functional group tolerance and high efficiency. Moreover, the mechanism study revealed that β-hydroxy alkanoates were generated by a selective decomposition of orthoformates promoted by the N-alkoxyazinium salt.
Pentamethylphenyl (Ph*) and Related Derivatives as Useful Acyl Protecting Groups for Organic Synthesis: A Preliminary Study

A study of acyl protecting groups derived from the Ph? motif is reported. While initial studies indicated that a variety of functional groups were not compatible with the Br 2-mediated cleavage conditions required to release the Ph? group, strategies involving the use of different reagents or a modification of Ph? itself (Ph*OH) were investigated to solve this problem.

A new class of chiral oxidants is developed. These readily accessible oxidants contain a nitro group for oxidation and a chiral sulfonamide moiety for stereoselectivity control. The chiral information from the oxidants can effectively transfer to the substrates in carbene-catalyzed β-hydroxylation of enals via single-electron-transfer radical processes. We expect these oxidants to find unique applications in other asymmetric oxidations and oxygen-atom-transferring reactions.
