Abstract
A general approach to fluorinated (hetero)aromatic derivatives is elaborated. The key reaction is a deoxofluorination of substituted acetophenones with sulfur tetrafluoride (SF4). In contrast to previous deoxofluorination methods, this transformation is fast, scalable (up to 70 g), and high-yielding. More than 100 novel or previously hardly accessible fluorinated heterocycles, interesting for medicinal chemistry and agrochemistry, were synthesized.

Abstract
Secondary piperidines are ideal pharmaceutical building blocks owing to the prevalence of piperidines in commercial drugs. Here, we report an electrochemical method for cyanation of the heterocycle adjacent to nitrogen without requiring protection or substitution of the N-H bond. The reaction utilizes ABNO (9-azabicyclononane N-oxyl) as a catalytic mediator. Electrochemical oxidation of ABNO generates the corresponding oxoammonium species, which promotes dehydrogenation of the 2° piperidine to the cyclic imine, followed by addition of cyanide. The low-potential, mediated electrolysis process is compatible with a wide range of heterocyclic and oxidatively sensitive substituents on the piperidine ring and enables synthesis of unnatural amino acids.

Abstract
Need for new drugs to fight against tuberculosis (TB) is increasing day by day. In the present work we have taken a spiro compound (GSK 2200150A) reported by GSK as a lead and we modified the structure of the lead to study the antitubercular activity. For structure activity profiling twenty-one molecules have been synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their antimycobacterial potency against both active and dormant TB. Compound 06, 1-((4-methoxyphenyl)sulfonyl)-4',5'-dihydrospiro[piperidine-4,7'-thieno[2,3-c]pyran] was found to be the most potent compound (MIC: 8.23 µM) in active TB and was less effective than the lead but more potent than standard first line drug ethambutol. It was also found to be more efficacious than Isoniazid and Rifampicin and equipotent as Moxifloxacin against dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Compound 06 also showed good inhibitory potential against over expressed latent MTB enzyme lysine ε-amino transferase with an IC50 of 1.04 ± 0.32 µM. This compound is a good candidate for drug development owing to potential against both active and dormant stages of MTB.

Abstract
![]()
Harnessing
visible light as the driving force
for chemical transformations generally offers a more environmentally
friendly alternative compared with classical synthetic methodology.
The transition metal-based photocatalysts commonly employed in photoredox
catalysis absorb efficiently in the visible spectrum, unlike most
organic substrates, allowing for orthogonal excitation. The subsequent
excited states are both more reducing and more oxidizing than the
ground state catalyst and are competitive with some of the more powerful
single-electron oxidants or reductants available to organic chemists
yet are simply accessed via irradiation. The benefits of this strategy
have proven particularly useful in radical chemistry, a field that
traditionally employs rather toxic and hazardous reagents to generate
the desired intermediates. In this Account, we discuss our efforts
to leverage visible light photoredox catalysis in radical-based bond-forming
and bond-cleaving events for which few, if any, environmentally benign
alternatives exist. Mechanistic investigations have driven our contributions
in this field, for both facilitating desired transformations and offering
new, unexpected opportunities. In fact, our total synthesis of (+)-gliocladin
C was only possible upon elucidating the propensity for various trialkylamine
additives to elicit a dual behavior as both a reductive quencher and
a H-atom donor. Importantly, while natural product synthesis was central
to our initial motivations to explore these photochemical processes,
we have since demonstrated applicability within other subfields of
chemistry, and our evaluation of flow technologies demonstrates the
potential to translate these results from the bench to pilot scale. Our forays into photoredox catalysis began with fundamental methodology,
providing a tin-free reductive dehalogenation that exchanged the gamut
of hazardous reagents previously employed for such a transformation
for visible light-mediated, ambient temperature conditions. Evolving
from this work, a new avenue toward atom transfer radical addition
(ATRA) chemistry was developed, enabling dual functionalization of
both double and triple bonds. Importantly, we have also expanded our
portfolio to target clinically relevant scaffolds. Photoredox catalysis
proved effective in generating high value fluorinated alkyl radicals
through the use of abundantly available starting materials, providing
access to libraries of trifluoromethylated (hetero)arenes as well
as intriguing gem-difluoro benzyl motifs via a novel
photochemical radical Smiles rearrangement. Finally, we discuss a
photochemical strategy toward sustainable lignin processing through
selective C–O bond cleavage methodology. The collection of
these efforts is meant to highlight the potential for visible light-mediated
radical chemistry to impact a variety of industrial sectors.

Abstract
A visible-light-mediated radical Smiles rearrangement has been developed to address the challenging synthesis of the gem-difluoro group present in an opioid receptor-like 1 (ORL-1) antagonist that is currently in development for the treatment of depression and/or obesity. This method enables the direct and efficient introduction of the difluoroethanol motif into a range of aryl and heteroaryl systems, representing a new disconnection for the synthesis of this versatile moiety. When applied to the target compound, the photochemical step could be conducted on 15 g scale using industrially relevant [Ru(bpy)3Cl2] catalyst loadings of 0.01 mol %. This transformation is part of an overall five-step route to the antagonist that compares favorably to the current synthetic sequence and demonstrates, in this specific case, a clear strategic benefit of photocatalysis.
