RESUMEN
Reticular materials constructed from regular molecular building blocks (MBBs) have been widely explored in the past three decades. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the assembly of novel, intricate materials using less-symmetric ligands; however, current methods for predicting structure are not amenable to this increased complexity. To address this gap, we propose herein a generalised version of the net-clipping approach for anticipating the topology of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) assembled from organic linkers and different polygonal and polyhedral MBBs. It relies on the generation of less-symmetric nets with less-connected linkers, via the rational deconstruction of more-symmetric and more-connected linkers in edge-transitive nets. We applied our top-down strategy to edge-transitive nets containing 4-c tetrahedral, 6-c hexagonal, 8-c cubic or 12-c hexagonal prism linkers, envisaging the formation of 102 derived and 46 clipped nets. Among these, we report 33 new derived nets (icn7-icn39) and 6 new clipped nets (icn1-icn6). Importantly, the feasibility of using net-clipping to anticipate clipped nets is supported by literature examples and new experimental additions. Finally, we suggest and illustrate that net-clipping can be extended to less-regular, non-edge transitive nets as well as to covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), thus opening new avenues for the rational design of new reticular materials exhibiting unprecedented topologies.
RESUMEN
An organophotoredox 1,6-radical addition of 3,4-dihidroquinoxalin-2-ones to para-quinone methides catalyzed by Fukuzumi's photocatalyst is described under the irradiation of a HP Single LED (455 nm). The corresponding 1,1-diaryl compounds bearing a dihydroquinoxalin-2-one moiety (20 examples) are obtained with good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Several experiments have been carried out in order to propose a reaction mechanism.
RESUMEN
A visible-light photocatalytic radical addition reaction of dihydroquinoxalin-2-ones to trifluoromethyl ketones has been established using Ru(bpy)3Cl2 as photocatalyst, acetonitrile as solvent, and HP Single Blue LED as the source of light. The reaction provides a straightforward approach to the synthesis of dihydroquinoxalin-2-ones bearing a trifluoromethyl-substituted tertiary alcohol moiety in moderate to good yields under mild conditions.
RESUMEN
A direct sp3 C-H amination of cyclic amines (dihydroquinoxalinones and dihydrobenzoxazinones) with dialkyl azo dicarboxylates accelerated by visible-light irradiation under metal and photocatalyst-free conditions is described. This protocol features very mild reaction conditions for the synthesis of aminal quinoxaline and benzoxazine derivatives with good to high yields (up to 99%). These aminal derivatives respresent versatile building blocks for the divergent synthesis of quinoxalin-2-one derivatives.
RESUMEN
The visible-light photoredox-catalyzed coupling of 1,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-ones and Michael acceptors was achieved using Ru(bpy)3Cl2 as the photocatalyst and (PhO)2PO2H as an additive. The optimized reaction conditions provide a good yield for the radical conjugate addition products (44 examples) with a wide range of structurally different Michael acceptors. A gram scale reaction using sunlight irradiation is also described. Furthermore, several transformations were carried out with the Giese addition products.
RESUMEN
An enantioselective photooxidative Mannich reaction of dihydroquinoxalinones with ketones by the merger of organophotoredox and asymmetric organocatalysis is described. This protocol features very mild reaction conditions using simple and cheap catalysts (Eosin Y and (S)-Proline) for the synthesis of chiral quinoxaline derivatives with good to high yields (up to 94%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee).
RESUMEN
An asymmetric catalytic reaction of hydroxyindoles with nitroalkenes leading to the Friedel-Crafts alkylation in the carbocyclic ring of indole is presented. The method is based on the activating/directing effects of the hydroxy group situated in the carbocyclic ring of the indole providing nitroalkylated indoles functionalizated at the C-4, C-5, and C-7 positions with high yield, regio-, and enantioselectivity. The optically enriched nitroalkanes were transformed efficiently in optically enriched 2-amino-1,1-diarylalkanes bearing a carbocyclic ring substituted indole.
