Organophotoredox-Catalyzed Intermolecular Formal Grob Fragmentation of Cyclic Alcohols with Activated Allylic Acetates.

We have developed an efficient method that employs organophotoredox-catalyzed relay Grob fragmentation to facilitate the smooth ring-opening allylation of cyclic alcohols in an environmentally friendly manner. This protocol directly incorporates a wide spectrum of cyclic alcohols and activated allylic acetates into the cross-coupling reaction, eliminating the need for metal catalysts. The process yields a variety of distally unsaturated ketones with good to excellent outcomes and stereoselectivity, while acetic acid is the sole byproduct.

Fluoroalkylation of Activated Allylic Acetates through Radical-Radical Coupling: Organophotoredox/DABCO Catalytic System.

A novel organophotoredox/DABCO catalytic system for the fluoroalkylation of activated allylic acetates via radical-radical coupling is described. The method offers mild reaction conditions, high selectivity, and broad substrate compatibility and enabled diverse bioactive molecules, FDA-approved drugs, and amino acid derivatives to be incorporated into transformation. This study expands the synthetic toolbox for the construction of fluorine-containing molecules.
