Abstract
Accessing versatile C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond through the cross-electrophile coupling of two distinct etheric C-O bonds is crucial in organic synthesis but remains barely explored. Herein, we report an innovative photoinduced low-valent zirconocene catalysis enabling the reductive coupling of ethers with high activity and cross-selectivity. Mechanistic investigation suggests that photoexcitation of low-valent zirconocene facilitates the C(sp3)-O bond scission of benzylic ethers, leading to the benzylic radicals intermediate via a single-electron reduction pathway. The subsequent recombination of this benzylic radical with the Zr center followed by carbomagnesiation generates benzylic Grignard reagents for downstream coupling with aliphatic ethers through an SN2-like mechanism. In application, a wide range of ethers readily in situ derived from aldehydes and ketones becomes feasible with high functional group compatibility as well as excellent cross-selectivity.

Nat Commun 2024; 15:5385. [PMID: 38918418 PMCID: PMC11199708 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-49640-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
In general, the P-centered ring-opening of quaternary phosphirenium salts (QPrS) predominantly leads to hydrophosphorylated products, while the C-centered ring-opening is primarily confined to intramolecular nucleophilic reactions, resulting in the formation of phosphorus-containing cyclization products instead of difunctionalized products generated through intermolecular nucleophilic processes. Here, through the promotion of ring-opening of three-member rings by iodine anions and the quenching of electronegative carbon atoms by iodine cations, we successfully synthesize β-functionalized vinylphosphine oxides by the P-addition of QPrS intermediates generated in situ. Multiple β-iodo-substituted vinylphosphine oxides can be obtained with exceptional regio- and stereo-selectivity by reacting secondary phosphine oxides with unactivated alkynes. In addition, a variety of β-functionalized vinylphosphine oxides converted from C-I bonds, especially the rapid construction of benzo[b]phospholes oxides, demonstrates the significance of this strategy.

Abstract
Ether C-O bonds are typical constituents of organic molecules that are seldom regarded as reactive functional groups except when highly strained. With the assistance of appropriate directing groups, low-valent titanium was found to homolytically cleave non-strained C-O bonds. In particular, a newly designed catechol monoether directing group rendered a route toward the activation of non-benzylic C(sp3)-O bonds. This method has been applied to conventional radical addition reactions to alkenes.

Abstract
Microscale high-throughput experimentation was used to develop a photoredox-assisted reductive cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with strained aliphatic heterocycles facilitated via a ring-opening reaction. This methodology was found to be applicable to medicinally relevant substrates including Boc-protected strained aliphatic heterocycles and (hetero)aryl bromides and was used for compound library construction via parallel medicinal chemistry. Furthermore, the coupling reactions were shown to be scalable to the gram scale by continuous flow reaction. A possible reaction mechanism is also discussed.

Abstract
An investigation into the sensitivity of reaction conditions to a highly utilized protocol has been reported, wherein the mono-Boc functionalization of prolinol could be controlled for the exclusive synthesis of either N-Boc, O-Boc, or oxazolidinone derivatives. Mechanistic investigation revealed that the elementary steps could possibly be controlled by (a) a requisite base to recognize the differently acidic sites (NH and OH) for the formation of the conjugate base, which reacts with the electrophile, and (b) the difference in nucleophilicity of the conjugate basic sites. Herein, a successful chemoselective functionalization of the nucleophilic sites of prolinol by employing a suitable base is reported. This has been achieved by exploiting the relative acidity difference of NH and OH along with the reversed nucleophilicity of the corresponding conjugate bases N- and O-. This protocol has also been used for the synthesis of several O-functionalized prolinol derived organocatalysts, few of which have been newly reported.

Abstract
Epoxide ring-opening reactions have long been utilized to furnish alcohol products that are valuable in many subfields of chemistry. While many epoxide-opening reactions are known, the hydrogenative opening of epoxides via ionic means remains challenging because of harsh conditions and reactive hydride nucleophiles. Recent progress has shown that radical chemistry can achieve hydrogenative epoxide ring opening under relatively mild conditions; however, these methods invariably require oxophilic metal catalysts and sensitive reagents. In response to these challenges, we report a new approach to epoxide ring-opening hydrogenation using bio-inspired Earth-abundant vitamin B12 and thiol-centric hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) co-catalysis to produce Markovnikov alcohols under visible light irradiation. This powerful reaction system exhibits a broad substrate scope, including a number of electrophilic and reductively labile functionalities that would otherwise be susceptible to reduction or cleavage by hydride nucleophiles, and preliminary mechanistic experiments are consistent with a radical process.

Abstract
Herein, we report efficient visible light-induced photoredox reactions of C–H/N–H and C–X Bonds. These methods have provided access to varied portfolio of synthetically important γ-ketoesters, azaspirocyclic cyclohexadienones spirocyclohexadienones, multisubstituted benzimidazole derivatives, substituted N,2-diarylacetamide, 2-arylpyridines and 2-arylquinolines in good yields and under mild conditions. Moreover, we have successfully discussed the construction through visible light-induction by an intermolecular radical addition, dearomative cyclization, aryl migration and desulfonylation. Similarly, we also spotlight the visible light-catalyzed aerobic C–N bond activation from well-known building blocks through cyclization, elimination and aromatization. The potential use of a wide portfolio of simple ketones and available primary amines has made this transformation very attractive.

Abstract
Regulating atomically precise sites in catalysts to achieve site-selective reactions is remarkable but challenging. In this work, a convenient and facile solid-gas/liquid reaction strategy was used to construct controllable active sites in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to guide an orientation site-selective reaction. A flexible CuI-MOF-1 with dynamics originating from an anionic and tailorable framework could undergo a reversible structural transformation to engineer a topologically equivalent mixed-valent CuICuII-MOF-2 via a solid-gas/liquid oxidation/reduction process. More importantly, CuI-MOF-1 and CuICuII-MOF-2 could further execute the solid-gas/liquid reaction under ammonia vapor/solution to generate CuII-MOF-3. Furthermore, the transformation from CuI-MOF-1 to CuICuII-MOF-2 and CuII-MOF-3 served as controllable catalysts to facilitate site-selective reactions to realize direct C-N bond arylations. The results demonstrated that CuI-MOF-1 and CuII-MOF-3 possessed well-defined platforms with uniformly and accurately active sites to attain a "turn-on/off" process via different reaction routes, providing the desired site-selective ring-opening products.
