[PMID: 38700491 PMCID: PMC11110045 DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.4c00149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
An unprecedented DDQ-mediated oxidative aromatization of 2-bezylidene-dihydrofurans yielding 2-alkenyl-furans is disclosed. Integration of this transformation with a prior Pd-catalyzed reaction of α-propargylic-β-ketoesters and (hetero)aryl halides into a one-pot cascade process opens a direct modular route to highly substituted 2-vinyl-furans. Experimental and computational studies reveal that the crucial step of the oxidative-aromatization involves facile hydride transfer from the dihydrofuran ring to the O-center of DDQ.

Abstract
A two-step protocol for the conversion of alkyl-substituted alkynes to 1,3-enynes is reported. In this α-methenylation process, an iron-catalyzed propargylic C-H functionalization delivers tetramethylpiperidine-derived homopropargylic amines which undergo facile Cope elimination upon N-oxidation to afford the enyne products. A range of aryl alkyl and dialkyl acetylenes were found to be suitable substrates for this process, which constitutes an alkyne analogue for the Eschenmoser methenylation of carbonyl derivatives. In addition, a new bench-stable precatalyst for iron-catalyzed propargylic C-H functionalization is reported.

Abstract
A new strategy to access α-functionalized alicyclic amines via their corresponding imine-BF3 complexes is reported. Isolable imine-BF3 complexes, readily prepared via dehydrohalogenation of N-bromoamines in a base-promoted/18-crown-6 catalyzed process followed by addition of boron trifluoride etherate, undergo reactions with a wide range of organometallic nucleophiles to afford α-functionalized azacycles. Organozinc and organomagnesium nucleophiles add at ambient temperatures, obviating the need for cryogenic conditions. In situ preparation of imine-BF3 complexes provides access to α-functionalized morpholines and piperazines directly from their parent amines in a single operation. α-Functionalized morpholines can be elaborated further, for instance by installing a second substituent in the α'-position.

Abstract
Acyliminium ions and related species are potent electrophiles that can be quite valuable in the synthesis of nitrogen-containing molecules. This manuscript describes a protocol to form these intermediates through hydride abstractions of easily accessible allylic carbamates, amides, and sulfonamides that avoids the reversibility that is possible in classical condensation-based routes. These intermediates are used in the preparation of a range of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, and in many cases high levels of stereocontrol are observed. Specifically areas of investigation include the impact of chemical structure on oxidation efficiency, the geometry of the intermediate iminium ions, the impact of a substrate stereocenter on stereocontrol, and an examination of transition state geometry.

Abstract
The synthesis of carbamoyl fluorides via visible-light induced DDQ catalysis of secondary amines is described. This protocol employs sodium trifluorosulfinate and molecular oxygen for the in situ generation of carbonyl difluoride, which is reacted with amines to afford the corresponding carbamoyl fluorides efficiently. Moreover, carbamoyl fluorides are easily transformed to synthetically useful carbonyl compounds under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
Radical chemistry is one of the most important methods used in modern polymer science and industry. Over the past century, new knowledge on radical chemistry has both promoted and been generated from the emergence of polymer synthesis and modification techniques. In this review, we discuss radical chemistry in polymer science from four interconnected aspects. We begin with radical polymerization, the most employed technique for industrial production of polymeric materials, and other polymer synthesis involving a radical process. Post-polymerization modification, including polymer crosslinking and polymer surface modification, is the key process that introduces functionality and practicality to polymeric materials. Radical depolymerization, an efficient approach to destroy polymers, finds applications in two distinct fields, semiconductor industry and environmental protection. Polymer chemistry has largely diverged from organic chemistry with the fine division of modern science but polymer chemists constantly acquire new inspirations from organic chemists. Dialogues on radical chemistry between the two communities will deepen the understanding of the two fields and benefit the humanity.

Abstract
Strong Lewis acids are essential tools for manifold chemical procedures, but their scalable deployment is limited by their costs and safety concerns. We report a scalable, convenient, and inexpensive synthesis of stable diiminium-based reagents with a Lewis acidic carbon centre. Coordination with pyridine donors stabilises these centres; the 2,2'-bipyridine adduct shows a chelation effect at carbon. Due to high fluoride, hydride, and oxide affinities, the diiminium pyridine adducts are promising soft and hard Lewis acids. They effectively produce acylpyridinium salts from carboxylates that can acylate amines to give amides and imides even from electronically intractable coupling partners.

Abstract
Triazolinediones are known as highly reactive dienophiles that can also act as electrophilic amination reagents towards enolisable C-H bonds (ionic pathway) or weak C-H bonds (free radical pathway). Here, we report that this C-H amination reactivity can be significantly extended and enhanced via gold(i)-catalysis. Under mild conditions, several alkyl-substituted aryls successfully undergo benzylic C-H aminations at room temperature. The remarkable site selectivity that is observed points towards strong electronic activation and deactivation effects, that go beyond a simple weakening of the C-H bond. The observed catalytic C-H aminations do not follow the expected trends for a free radical-type C-H amination and show complementarity to existing methods. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and distinct experimental trends provide a clear mechanistic rationale for observed selectivity patterns, postulating a novel pathway for triazolinedione-induced aminations via a carbon-to-nitrogen hydride transfer.

Abstract
The reduction of phosphine oxides without the use of highly reactive reductants represents a safer and more sustainable solution for recycling of organophosphorus compounds. Herein, we disclose an N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA)-mediated reduction via an unusual intermolecular hydride transfer. Mechanistic studies suggest that TMEDA serves as a hydride donor, while the P(V) halophosphonium salt acts as the hydride acceptor. This methodology provides a scalable and efficient protocol to reduce phosphine oxides under mild conditions.

Abstract
An asymmetric double oxidative [3 + 2] cycloaddition is reported. Oxidation of 3-((2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)amino)indolin-2-ones and β-aryl-substituted aldehydes simultaneously and subsequent asymmetric cycloaddition in the presence of the chiral amino catalyst generated highly functionalized chiral CF3-containing spiro[pyrrolidin-3,2'-oxindole] with four contiguous stereocenters stereoselectively, which is characterized by directly constructing two C-C bonds from four C(sp3)-H bonds. This new method features mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group compatibility.

Abstract
A novel tandem oxidative Ritter reaction/hydration/aldol condensation of α-arylketones with substituted propiolonitriles has been developed. This protocol conveniently affords a wide range of functionalized 3-acyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones through the efficient construction of four chemical bonds, a C-N bond, a C═C bond, and two C═O bonds, and the formation of one ring bearing an aza-quaternary center, which is ascribed to the strategical introduction of functionalized nitriles to this transformation. A reaction mechanism was proposed based on some control experiments.

Abstract
The stereoselective intermolecular bond-forming reactions through the direct manipulation of ubiquitous yet inert C(sp3)-H bonds represent an important and long-standing goal in chemistry. In particular, developing such a stereoselective bimolecular transformation involving carbocation intermediates generated via site-selective hydride abstraction or formal hydride abstraction by organic oxidants would avoid the preinstallation of directing groups and is therefore attractive. Hydride-abstraction-initiated bimolecular transformations have received considerable attention, but existing examples lack stereoselective studies. Prevalent stereoselective studies typically suffer from the narrow substrate scope of specific and highly reactive N-aryl amines and diarylmethanes together with limited synthetic utility. This Account describes our recent advances in the development and synthetic application of hydride-abstraction-initiated stereoselective intermolecular C-C and C-H bond-forming processes with significantly expanded scopes involving structurally diverse N-acyl amines and ethers together with nitriles, esters, and perfluoroalkyl moieties.We first explored hydride-abstraction-initiated stereoselective intermolecular C-C bond-forming processes. Utilizing triarylmethyl cations or oxoammonium ions as hydride abstractors, we accomplished the diastereoselective oxidative C-H functionalization of structurally diverse N-acyl amines and ethers with a range of organoboranes and C-H components, efficiently installing a series of alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, and alkynyl species into the α-position of heteroatoms with good levels of diastereocontrol. Subsequently, we developed an "acetal pool" strategy as the toolbox to regulate the stability of cationic intermediates and the compatibility of organic oxidants with a delicate asymmetric catalysis system. Utilizing this strategy, we achieved the catalytic enantioselective oxidative C-H alkenylation, arylation, alkynylation, and alkylation of diverse N-acyl heterocycles with a range of boronates and C-H components. Simultaneously, we extended this strategy to the asymmetric oxidative C-H alkylation of ethers. Notably, the method allows solvents that are used daily, such as tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, and diethyl ether, to be facilely transformed to high-value-added optically pure bioactive molecules. We further expanded the scope of this challenging area from the C(sp3)-H bond adjacent to electron-donating heteroatoms to valuable electron-withdrawing functional groups including nitriles, esters, and perfluoroalkyl moieties for the stereoselective construction of single and vicinal quaternary carbon stereocenters, respectively.We studied hydride-abstraction-initiated catalytic asymmetric intermolecular C-H bond-forming processes, known as redox deracemization. Utilizing the acetal pool strategy, we reported the first redox deracemization of cyclic benzylic ethers. Later, we disclosed an aerobic one-pot deracemization of diverse α-amino acid derivatives with excellent functional group compatibility. We further achieved the deracemization of the tertiary stereogenic center adjacent to electron-withdrawing groups including perfluoroalkyl, cyano, and ester moieties, which are otherwise difficult to construct.

Abstract
Stereoselective synthesis of C4-substituted benzo[a]quinolizidines via redox-controlled catalytic C-C-bond-forming reactions was carried out. Aerobic DDQ-catalyzed allylation of N-Cbz tetrahydroisoquinolines efficiently provided α-allylated products 5, which were transformed to enones 6 via cross-metathesis reactions using the second-generation Hoveyda-Grubbs catalyst. Palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation of 6 prompted alkene reduction, protecting group removal, and intramolecular reductive amination in one step to afford the desired benzo[a]quinolizidines 7 as single diastereomers.

Abstract
Secondary alicyclic amines are converted to α-aminonitriles via addition of TMSCN to their corresponding imines, intermediates that are produced in situ via the oxidation of amine-derived lithium amides with simple ketone oxidants. Amines with an existing α-substituent undergo regioselective α'-cyanation even if the C-H bonds at that site are less activated. Amine α-arylation can be combined with α'-cyanation to generate difunctionalized products in a single operation.

Abstract
An iridium-catalyzed stereoselective coupling of allylic ethers and alkynes to generate 3,4-substituted 1,5-enynes is reported. Under optimized conditions, the coupling products are formed with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities, and the protocol is functional group tolerant. Moreover, we report conditions that allow the reaction to proceed with complete reversal of diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies are consistent with an unprecedented dual role for the iridium catalyst, enabling the propargylic deprotonation of the alkyne through π-coordination, as well as the generation of a π-allyl species from the allylic ether starting material.
