Efficient synthesis of acrylates bearing an aryl or heteroaryl moiety: One-pot method from aromatics and heteroaromatics using formylation and the horner-wadsworth-emmons reaction

Acrylates bearing an aryl or heteroaryl moiety were efficiently prepared by a one-pot process employing a sequence of lithiation, formylation and the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction starting from aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. This method can efficiently introduce an acrylate moiety into aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds.

Reduction of Electron-Deficient Alkenes Enabled by a Photoinduced Hydrogen Atom Transfer

Direct hydrogen atom transfer from a photoredox-generated Hantzsch ester radical cation to electron-deficient alkenes has enabled the development of an efficient formal hydrogenation under mild, operationally simple conditions. The HAT-driven mechanism is supported by experimental and computational studies. The reaction is applied to a variety of cinnamate derivatives and related structures, irrespective of the presence of electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents in the aromatic ring and with good functional group compatibility. (Figure presented.).

C–C Cross-Coupling Reactions of Organosilanes with Terminal Alkenes and Allylic Acetates Using PdII Catalyst Supported on Starch Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles

Starch coated magnetic nanoparticles supported palladium catalyst has been explored to perform C–C cross coupling reactions, such as oxidative Heck coupling and Tsuji–Trost allylic coupling using organosilicon compounds as one of the coupling partners. The biopolymer coated magnetic catalyst was very easy to recover magnetically and was efficiently recycled in the subsequent batches. All the reactions were performed in air and thus the necessity of air and moisture free reaction condition is avoided. The present protocols show wide substrate scope and good yields of the products.
