RESUMO
Herein, we describe a visible light-induced C(sp2)-H arylation method for quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones and coumarins using iodonium ylides without the need for external photocatalysts. The protocol demonstrates a broad substrate scope, enabling the arylation of diverse heterocycles through a simple and mild procedure. Furthermore, the photochemical reaction showcases its applicability in the efficient synthesis of biologically active molecules. Computational investigations at the CASPT2//CASSCF/PCM level of theory revealed that the excited state of quinoxalin-2(1H)-one facilitates electron transfer from its π bond to the antibonding orbital of the C-I bond in the iodonium ylide, ultimately leading to the formation of an aryl radical, which subsequently participates in the C-H arylation process. In addition, our calculations reveal that during the single-electron transfer (SET) process, the C-I bond cleavage in iodonium ylide and new C-C bond formation between resultant aryl radical and cationic quinoxaline species take place in a concerned manner. This enables the arylation reaction to efficiently proceed along an energy-efficient route.
RESUMO
In this study, we present an efficient approach for the synthesis of 3-sulfenyl indoles through an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex-promoted photoreaction. This sulfenylation reaction leverages sulfonyl chlorides as the sulfur source and employs PPh3 as the reductant without the need for any transition-metal catalyst or photocatalyst. At the same time, the relaxation process of the excited EDA complex was theoretically investigated at the method and multiconfiguration second-order perturbation//complete active space self-consistent field/PCM level of theory, which involves the π bond of indoles injecting an electron to the antibonding orbital of the S-Cl bond in arylsulfonyl chlorides.
RESUMO
Construction of medium-sized ring compounds remains challenging in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we describe the synthesis of medium-sized lactams via a photoinduced ring expansion of benzo-fused cyclic ketones using graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as a photocatalyst. The ring expansion protocol provided an efficient access to 8-10-membered lactams in good yields and displayed good tolerance to a range of functional groups. The mechanism studies revealed that the photochemical reaction proceeds via an intermediary of a nitrogen radical, which is generated through an oxidative hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process.
RESUMO
Herein, we reported the heterogeneous photocatalytic C-H alkylation of indoles with diazo compounds using graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as the photocatalyst. The reaction was carried out under a simple operation and mild conditions. In addition, the catalyst was found to be stable and reusable after five reaction cycles. The photochemical reaction proceeds via an intermediary of a carbon radical, which is generated from diazo compounds through a visible-light-promoted proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process.

Herein, we report a halogen-bonding-based electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex-promoted photoreaction for the synthesis of C2-malonylated indoles. The protocol provides access to a broad range of functionalized indoles in good yields through the coupling reaction of indoles with diethyl bromomalonate under visible-light irradiation without the need for any transition-metal catalyst or photocatalyst.
RESUMO
Direct C-H bond functionalization catalyzed by non-precious transition metals is an attractive strategy in synthetic chemistry. Compared with the precious metals rhodium, palladium, ruthenium, and iridium commonly used in this field, catalysis based on non-precious metals, especially the earth-abundant ones, is appealing due to the increasing demand for environmentally benign and sustainable chemical processes. Herein, developments in iron- and cobalt-catalyzed C(sp3)-H bond functionalization reactions are described, with an emphasis on their applications in organic synthesis, i.e., the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceuticals and/or their modification.

A transition-metal-free C(sp2 )-C(sp2 ) bond formation reaction by the cross-coupling of diazo quinones with catechol boronic esters was developed. With this protocol, a variety of biaryls and alkenyl phenols were obtained in good to high yields under mild conditions. The reaction tolerates various functionalities and is applicable to the derivatization of pharmaceuticals and natural products. The synthetic utility of the method was demonstrated by the short synthesis of multi-substituted triphenylenes and three bioactive natural products, honokiol, moracin M, and stemofuran A. Mechanistic studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the reaction involves attack of the boronic ester by a singlet quinone carbene followed by a 1,2-rearrangement through a stepwise mechanism.
RESUMO
Described herein is an IrIII /porphyrin-catalyzed intermolecular C(sp3 )-H insertion reaction of a quinoid carbene (QC). The reaction was designed by harnessing the hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) reactivity of a metal-QC species with aliphatic substrates followed by a radical rebound process to afford C-H arylation products. This methodology is efficient for the arylation of activated hydrocarbons such as 1,4-cyclohexadienes (down to 40â min reaction time, up to 99 % yield, up to 1.0â g scale). It features unique regioselectivity, which is mainly governed by steric effects, as the insertion into primary C-H bonds is favored over secondary and/or tertiary C-H bonds in the substituted cyclohexene substrates. Mechanistic studies revealed a radical mechanism for the reaction.
RESUMO
Reliable methods for enantioselective cis-dihydroxylation of trisubstituted alkenes are scarce. The iron(II) complex cis-α-[FeII (2-Me2 -BQPN)(OTf)2 ], which bears a tetradentate N4 ligand (Me2 -BQPN=(R,R)-N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-methylquinolin-8-yl)-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine), was prepared and characterized. With this complex as the catalyst, a broad range of trisubstituted electron-deficient alkenes were efficiently oxidized to chiral cis-diols in yields of up to 98 % and up to 99.9 % ee when using hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) as oxidant under mild conditions. Experimental studies (including 18 O-labeling, ESI-MS, NMR, EPR, and UV/Vis analyses) and DFT calculations were performed to gain mechanistic insight, which suggested possible involvement of a chiral cis-FeV (O)2 reaction intermediate as an active oxidant. This cis-[FeII (chiral N4 ligand)]2+ /H2 O2 method could be a viable green alternative/complement to the existing OsO4 -based methods for asymmetric alkene dihydroxylation reactions.
RESUMO
Reactivity study of novel metal carbene complexes can offer new opportunities in catalytic carbene transfer reactions as well as in other synthetic protocols. Metal complexes with quinoid carbene (QC) ligands are assumed to be key intermediates in a variety of metal-catalyzed QC transfer reactions using diazo quinones, which demands development of the chemistry of QC transfer of well characterized metal-QC complexes. Herein we report the isolation and QC transfer of ruthenium porphyrins [Ru(Por)(QC)] which contribute the first examples of (i) structurally characterized metal-QC complex (by X-ray crystallography) and (ii) isolated metal-QC complex that undergoes QC transfer reaction. The complexes [Ru(Por)(QC)] were prepared from reaction of [Ru(Por)(CO)] with diazo quinones and exhibited dual reactivity, i.e., hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) as well as QC transfer. The stoichiometric QC transfer reactions from these Ru-QC complexes to nitrosoarenes (ArNO) afforded nitrones in up to 90% yield, and the corresponding catalytic reactions were also developed. Both the stoichiometric and catalytic reactions for a series of QC ligands bearing electron-donating and -withdrawing substituents showed a reverse substituent effect on the QC transfer reactivity. Complexes [Ru(Por)(QC)] are also reactive toward C-H and X-H (X = N, S) bonds and can catalyze aerobic oxidation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene; their stoichiometric HAT reactions with unsaturated hydrocarbons gave product yields of up to 88%. The unique dual reactivity and electronic feature of [Ru(Por)(QC)] were studied by spectroscopic means and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
RESUMO
We developed an efficient synthesis of biaryls by a dirhodium(II)-catalyzed aromatic C-H arylation with diazo quinones. The new biaryl synthesis can be performed under mild and neutral conditions and without directing group chelation assistance. The reaction tolerates various functionalities and is applicable to a broad range of aromatics. The regioselectivity of the C-H arylation was often high and predictable. The synthetic utility of the method was demonstrated by the late-stage modifications of a series of pharmaceuticals and functional materials as well as a short synthesis of a transthyretin amyloid inhibitor.
RESUMO
A protocol on chemoselective cobalt(II) porphyrin-catalyzed intramolecular cyclopropanation of N-alkyl indoles/pyrroles with alkylcarbenes has been developed. The reaction enables the rapid construction of a range of nitrogen-containing polycyclic compounds in moderate to high yields from readily accessible materials. These N-containing polycyclic compounds can be converted into a variety of N-heterocycles with potential synthetic and biological interest. Compared to their N-tosylhydrazone counterparts, the use of bulky N-2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl hydrazones as carbene precursors allows cyclopropanation to occur under milder reaction conditions.
RESUMO
With a ruthenium-porphyrin catalyst, alkyl diazomethanes generated in situ from N-tosylhydrazones efficiently underwent intramolecular C(sp(3))-H insertion of an alkyl carbene to give substituted tetrahydrofurans and pyrrolidines in up to 99% yield and with up to 99:1 cis selectivity. The reaction displays good tolerance of many functionalities, and the procedure is simple without the need for slow addition with a syringe pump. From a synthetic point of view, the C-H insertion of N-tosylhydrazones can be viewed as reductive coupling between a C=O bond and a C-H bond to form a new C-C bond, since N-tosylhydrazones can be readily prepared from carbonyl compounds. This reaction was successfully applied in a concise synthesis of (±)-pseudoheliotridane.
RESUMO
The diaryl ether represents a prevalent structural motif found in numerous biologically active molecules. Herein, we describe a dirhodium-catalyzed C(sp2)-O cross coupling reaction between diazo quinones and phenols for the construction of diaryl ethers in moderate to high yields. The reaction proceeds under mild and neutral conditions and is tolerant of various functional groups. The synthetic method has been successfully applied to the concise synthesis of a Navl.7 inhibitor.
RESUMO
Ruthenium porphyrin catalyzes tandem nitrone formation/1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of diazo compounds, nitrosoarenes and alkenes to form isoxazolidines in good to high yields and with excellent regio-, chemo- and diastereo-selectivities. A broad substrate scope of alkenes is applicable to this protocol and various functional groups are compatible with the reaction conditions. In silico analysis and in vitro biological experiments revealed that some of the new isoxazolidines synthesized in this work could act as leukotriene A4 hydrolase inhibitors.

The recent surge of interest in metal-catalysed C-H bond functionalisation reactions reflects the importance of such reactions in biomimetic studies and organic synthesis. This critical review focuses on metalloporphyrin-catalysed saturated C-H bond functionalisation reported since the year 2000, including C-O, C-N and C-C bond formation via hydroxylation, amination and carbenoid insertion, respectively, together with a brief description of previous achievements in this area. Among the metalloporphyrin-catalysed reactions highlighted herein are the hydroxylation of steroids, cycloalkanes and benzylic hydrocarbons; intermolecular amination of steroids, cycloalkanes and benzylic or allylic hydrocarbons; intramolecular amination of sulfamate esters and organic azides; intermolecular carbenoid insertion into benzylic, allylic or alkane C-H bonds; and intramolecular carbenoid C-H insertion of tosylhydrazones. These metalloporphyrin-catalysed saturated C-H bond functionalisation reactions feature high regio-, diastereo- or enantioselectivity and/or high product turnover numbers. Mechanistic studies suggest the involvement of metal-oxo, -imido (or nitrene), and -carbene porphyrin complexes in the reactions. The reactivity of such metal-ligand multiple bonded species towards saturated C-H bonds, including mechanistic studies through both experimental and theoretical means, is also discussed (244 references).

Chiral dirhodium carboxylate complexes ([Rh(2)(S-PTAD)(4)] or [Rh(2)(S-PTTL)(4)]) efficiently catalyze asymmetric three-component coupling reactions of α-diazophosphonates, anilines, and electron-deficient aldehydes to give α-amino-ß-hydroxyphosphonates. The high level of enantiocontrol provides evidence for the intermediacy of metal-bound ammonium ylide in the product-forming step.

A number of γ-cyanoalkyl radicals were generated by sustainable N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis in tin-, transition-meal-, and light-free conditions, followed by insertion into biaryl isonitriles, thus leading to the rapid assembly of a variety of diversely functionalized 6-cyanoalkyl phenanthridines. A preliminary mechanism study revealed that a single-electron transfer radical process was possibly involved.
RESUMO
A variety of phenanthridines are rapidly constructed by an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed SOMOphilic isocyanide insertion-initiated homolytic aromatic substitution-type radical cyclization in the absence of any light, transition metals, and external oxidants. The aldehyde-free, scalable, and operationally simple protocol tolerates diverse functionalized biaryl isonitriles and activated α-halides. Moreover, it can be further applied to the divergent construction of other N-heterocycles. Preliminary mechanistic studies disclose that an NHC-derived radical cation intermediate is possibly involved.
RESUMO
N-Polyheterocycles are rapidly accessed by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis through regioselective sequential radical addition/cyclization in the absence of any metals or oxidants. The transformation occurs under mild conditions and enjoys a wide substrate scope with excellent functional group compatibility. Furthermore, a gram-scale synthesis is also conducted. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal the potential involvement of an NHC radical cation intermediate.
