Photocatalytic Neophyl Rearrangement and Reduction of Distal Carbon Radicals by Iminyl Radical-Mediated C?C Bond Cleavage

The control of selectivity in the reactions of the highly reactive open-shell carbon radicals is an attractive but often challenging task. Building on the strategy of photoinduced iminyl radical-mediated C?C bond cleavage, we have developed photocatalytic neophyl rearrangement and reduction of distal carbon radicals under visible light irradiation of O-acyl oximes. This mild protocol tolerates a wide range of readily available O-acyl oximes, enabling facile synthesis of diversely substituted α,β-unsaturated nitriles and β-functionalized saturated nitriles in a highly selective manner. (Figure presented.).

Palladium-catalyzed coupling of alkyl chlorides and Grignard reagents

Chloroalkanes refined: A simple catalyst system renders the palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of functionalized alkyl chlorides and Grignard reagents at room temperature (see example in scheme; PCy3 = tricyclohexylphosphane, NMP = N-methylpyrrolidinone).
