JACS AU 2024; 4:2578-2584. [PMID: 39055142 PMCID: PMC11267532 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.4c00302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Designing the reactant molecule of an initial reaction, based on quantum chemical pathway exploration, enabled us to access a new reaction, i.e., the tetraborylation reaction of p-benzynes generated from 1,2-diethynylbenzene derivatives, using bis(pinacolato)diborane(4) (B2pin2). Based on the reaction path network generated via the artificial-force-induced reaction (AFIR) method, desired and undesired paths were identified and used to modify the chemical structure of the reactant. After the in silico screening, the optimal structure of the reactant was determined to be a 1,2-diethynylbenzene derivative with a butylene linker. The reaction of the optimized reactant and its derivatives with an excess of B2pin2 gave the tetraborylated products in good yields (up to 58%). It is quite intriguing that the two carbons of p-benzyne behave formally as dicarbenes in this reaction.

Nguyen HD, Abe M. Crucial Roles of Leaving Group and Open-Shell Cation in Photoreaction of (Coumarin-4-yl)methyl Derivatives. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:10993-11001.

Abstract
Photoreactions of (coumarin-4-yl)methyl derivatives have been extensively studied in many fields of chemistry, including organic synthesis and photoinduced drug delivery systems. The identification of the reaction intermediates involved in the photoreactions is crucial not only for elucidating the reaction mechanism but also for the application of the photoreactions. In this study, the photoreactions of 7-diethylamino(coumarin-4-yl)methyl thioester 1a [-SC(O)CH3], thionoester 1b [-OC(S)CH3], and ester 1c [-OC(O)CH3] were investigated to clarify the intermediary species and their chemical behavior. While a radical pair [i.e., 7-diethylamino(coumarin-4-yl)methyl radical and CH3C(O)S•] plays an important role in the photoreactions of 1a and 1b, an ion pair [i.e., 7-diethylamino(coumarin-4-yl)methyl cation, and CH3CO2-] was the key in the photoreaction of 1c. 18O-isotope-labeling of 1c revealed a negligible recombination process within the ion pair. The unprecedented observation was rationalized by the open-shell character of the 7-diethylamino(coumarin-4-yl)methyl cation, whose formation was confirmed through product analysis and transient absorption spectroscopy.

Abstract
Herein, the introduction of oxa- and azabenzonorbornadienes into photoredox/nickel dual catalysis in a regioselective and diastereoselective transformation is disclosed. The inherent advantages of this dual catalytic system allow the use of alkyl motifs forming exclusively cis-1,2-dihydro-1-naphthyl alcohol backbones using readily accessible 4-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines (DHPs). Whereas previous studies have emphasized the use of nucleophilic organometallic coupling partners, this protocol grants access to a rather unexplored core featuring alkyl residues, while avoiding the use of highly reactive organometallic species (i.e., M = Al, Mg, Li, Zn, Zr). DFT calculations support a oxidative addition/reductive elimination mechanism, followed by a Curtin-Hammett scenario that controls the regioselectivity of the process, unlike previously reported transformations that proceed via a carbometalation/ β-oxygen elimination mechanism.
