Published: Jan. 1, 2022

Visible-light photoredox catalysis has been regarded as an extremely powerful tool in organic chemistry, bringing the spotlight back to radical processes. The versatility of photocatalyzed reactions already demonstrated be effective providing alternative routes for cross-coupling well multicomponent reactions. photocatalyst allows generation high-energy intermediates through light irradiation rather than using highly reactive reagents or harsh reaction conditions. In a similar vein, electrochemistry experienced fruitful renaissance generating without need any catalyst. Such milder approaches pose basis toward higher selectivity and broader applicability. electrochemical reactions, species acts starter cascade events. This diverse reactivity use is usually not covered by classical methods. Owing availability cheaper more standardized photo- reactors, easily scalable flow-setups, it surprising that these two fields have become areas increased research interest. Keeping view, this review aimed at overview synthetic design MCRs involving and/or activation crucial step with particular focus on choice difunctionalized reagent.

Electrochemical Late-Stage Functionalization

Chemical Reviews, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 123(19), P. 11269 - 11335

Published: Sept. 26, 2023

Late-stage functionalization (LSF) constitutes a powerful strategy for the assembly or diversification of novel molecular entities with improved physicochemical biological activities. LSF can thus greatly accelerate development medicinally relevant compounds, crop protecting agents, and functional materials. Electrochemical synthesis has emerged as an environmentally friendly platform transformation organic compounds. Over past decade, electrochemical late-stage (eLSF) gained major momentum, which is summarized herein up to February 2023.

Organic Letters, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 25(6), P. 1008 - 1013

Published: Feb. 3, 2023

An organoelectrophotocatalytic approach for the C-H silylation of heteroarenes through dehydrogenation cross-coupling with H2 evolution has been developed. The strategy is carried out under a simple and efficient monocatalytic system by employing 9,10-phenanthrenequinone both as an organocatalyst hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reagent, which avoids need external HAT oxidant, or metal reagent. A variety can be compatible in satisfactory yields excellent regioselectivity.

Organo‐Mediator Enabled Electrochemical Deuteration of Styrenes

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 62(45)

Published: Sept. 12, 2023

Despite widespread use of the deuterium isotope effect, selective labeling chemical molecules remains a major challenge. Herein, facile and general electrochemically driven, organic mediator enabled deuteration styrenes with oxide (D2 O) as economical source was reported. Importantly, this transformation could be suitable for various electron rich mediated by triphenylphosphine (TPP). The reaction proceeded under mild conditions without transition-metal catalysts, affording desired products in good yields excellent D-incorporation (D-inc, up to >99 %). Mechanistic investigations means experiments cyclic voltammetry tests provided sufficient support transformation. Notably, method proved powerful tool late-stage biorelevant compounds.

Electrochemically driven hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis provides a complementary approach for the transformation of redox-inactive substrates that would be inaccessible to conventional electron (ET) catalysis. Moreover, electrochemically HAT could promote organic transformations with either abstraction or donation as key step. It versatile and effective tool direct functionalization C(sp3)–H/Si–H bonds hydrofunctionalization alkenes. Despite these attractive properties, has been largely overlooked due lack understanding both catalytic mechanism how catalyst selection should occur.
