RESUMO

The study and application of transition metal hydrides (TMHs) has been an active area of chemical research since the early 1960s1, for energy storage, through the reduction of protons to generate hydrogen2,3, and for organic synthesis, for the functionalization of unsaturated C-C, C-O and C-N bonds4,5. In the former instance, electrochemical means for driving such reactivity has been common place since the 1950s6 but the use of stoichiometric exogenous organic- and metal-based reductants to harness the power of TMHs in synthetic chemistry remains the norm. In particular, cobalt-based TMHs have found widespread use for the derivatization of olefins and alkynes in complex molecule construction, often by a net hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)7. Here we show how an electrocatalytic approach inspired by decades of energy storage research can be made use of in the context of modern organic synthesis. This strategy not only offers benefits in terms of sustainability and efficiency but also enables enhanced chemoselectivity and distinct, tunable reactivity. Ten different reaction manifolds across dozens of substrates are exemplified, along with detailed mechanistic insights into this scalable electrochemical entry into Co-H generation that takes place through a low-valent intermediate.

RESUMO

The work presented herein describes the synthesis of a formerly inaccessible class of heterocyclic compounds. The reaction relies on α-phthalimido-amides, which are readily prepared from amino acids in 2 simple reactions steps. Under amide activation conditions in which classical keteniminium ions are not formed, the nitrile solvent is incorporated into the new fused 7-membered ring system. Due to the absence of a keteniminium intermediate, the stereogenic information in the α-position is fully retained.

RESUMO

The reactivity of iodine(III) reagents towards nucleophiles is often associated with umpolung and cationic mechanisms. Herein, we report a general process converting a range of ketone derivatives into α-cyclopropanated ketones by oxidative umpolung. Mechanistic investigation and careful characterization of side products revealed that the reaction follows an unexpected pathway and suggests the intermediacy of non-classical carbocations.

RESUMO

A regio- and chemoselective preparation of bicyclic alkoxyoxazolium salts from amide derivatives of proline and pipecolic acid by electrophilic amide activation is reported. Mechanistic NMR experiments suggest an unusual role for the base and highlight the effect of substitution pattern of the substrates.

RESUMO

It is textbook knowledge that carboxamides benefit from increased stabilisation of the electrophilic carbonyl carbon when compared to other carbonyl and carboxyl derivatives. This results in a considerably reduced reactivity towards nucleophiles. Accordingly, a perception has been developed of amides as significantly less useful functional handles than their ester and acid chloride counterparts. However, a significant body of research on the selective activation of amides to achieve powerful transformations under mild conditions has emerged over the past decades. This review article aims at placing electrophilic amide activation in both a historical context and in that of natural product synthesis, highlighting the synthetic applications and the potential of this approach.

RESUMO

A synthetically useful approach for the direct α-arylation of carbonyl compounds through a novel oxidative C-C bond activation is reported. This mechanistically unusual process relies on a 1,2-aryl shift and results in all-carbon quaternary centers. The transformation displays broad functional-group tolerance and can in principle also be applied as an asymmetric variant.

RESUMO

A ruthenium-catalysed cross-olefination of diazo compounds and sulfoxonium ylides is presented. Our reaction design exploits the intrinsic difference in reactivity of diazo compounds and sulfoxonium ylides as both carbene precursors and nucleophiles, which results in a highly selective reaction.

RESUMO

The first catalytic kinetic resolution by N-sulfonylation is described. 2-Substituted indolines are resolved (s=2.6-19) using an atropisomeric 4-dimethylaminopyridine-N-oxide (4-DMAP-N-oxide) organocatalyst. Use of 2-isopropyl-4-nitrophenylsulfonyl chloride is critical to the stereodiscrimination and enables facile deprotection of the sulfonamide products with thioglycolic acid. A qualitative model that accounts for the stereodiscrimination is proposed.

RESUMO

A nickel-catalyzed reductive dimerization of bromocyclobutenes to produce unusual and unprecedented cyclobutene dimers was developed. In a stereoconvergent procedure, various bromocyclobutenes were readily dimerized in good yields, with good diastereoselectivities and broad functional group tolerance. Notably, the presence of a carbonyl group in the starting material appears to dictate diastereoselectivity.

RESUMO

Aliphatic C-H functionalization is a topic of current intense interest in organic synthesis. Herein, we report that a facile and stereoselective dehydrogenation event enables the functionalization of aliphatic amides at different positions in a one-pot fashion. Derivatives of relevant pharmaceuticals were formally functionalized in the ß-position in late-stage manner. A single-step synthesis of incrustoporine from a simple precursor further showcases the potential utility of this approach.

RESUMO

A novel reductive variant of the classical Hosomi-Sakurai reaction is reported. This transformation hinges on a redox-neutral, stereoselective internal reduction event under mild conditions. This operationally simple reaction relies on readily available starting materials and leads to useful products in diastereoselectivities of up to 7:1. The versatility of this new method is demonstrated through the stereoselective one-step synthesis of an AChE inhibitor.

RESUMO

The ability to improve nature's capacity by introducing modification of biological interest in proteins and peptides (P&P) is one of the modern challenges in synthetic chemistry. Due to the unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties, many native P&P are of little use as therapeutic agents. Today, few methods for the preparation of modified proteins are available. Initially introduced to realize the ligation between two standard peptidic sequences, and hence to afford native proteins, the modern chemical methodologies, in other words native chemical ligation, expressed ligation, Staudinger ligation, auxiliary mediated ligation, aldehyde capture, etc., can be virtually utilized to ligate a variety of peptidomimetic partners, allowing a systematic access to modified, unnatural large P&P.
