RESUMO
By complementing traditional transition metal catalysis, photoinduced catalysis has emerged as a versatile and sustainable way to achieve carbon-heteroatom bond formation. This work discloses a visible-light-induced reaction for the formation of a C-S bond from aryl halides and inorganic sulfuration agents via electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex photocatalysis. Divergent formations of organic sulfide and disulfide have been demonstrated under mild conditions. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that visible-light-induced intracomplex charge transfer within the monosulfide-anion-containing EDA complex permits the C-S bond construction reactivity.
RESUMO
The formation of one unavoidable byproduct in traditional disproportionation reactions limits their applications in synthesis. Inspired by convergent disproportionation, we develop an iodine-induced cyclization and oxidation of allylic alcohols to produce highly functionalized bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes through creation of six new bonds. Guided by the mechanism, we elaborated a variety of other bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes bearing distinct groups with presynthesized dienes and enones as the starting materials. This work provides a divergent access to bicyclo[3.2.1]octane frameworks.
