Blue‐to‐UVB Upconversion, Solvent Sensitization and Challenging Bond Activation Enabled by a Benzene‐Based Annihilator

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 62(8)

Published: Nov. 18, 2022

Several energy-demanding photoreactions require harsh UV light from inefficient sources. The conversion of low-energy visible to high-energy singlet states via triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) could offer a solution for driving such reactions under mild conditions. We present the first annihilator with an emission maximum in UVB region that, combined organic sensitizer, is suitable blue-to-UVB upconversion. was successfully employed as energy donor subsequent FRET activations aliphatic carbonyls. This hitherto unreported UC-FRET reaction sequence directly monitored using laser spectroscopy and applied mechanistic irradiation experiments demonstrating feasibility Norrish chemistry. Our results provide clear evidence novel blue light-driven substrate or solvent activation strategy, which important context developing more sustainable light-to-chemical systems.

Diastereoselective Synthesis of Monofluorocyclohexenes through Photocatalyzed Cascade Cyclization of gem‐Difluoroalkenes and α,β‐Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 62(20)

Published: March 16, 2023

Monofluoroalkenes are nonhydrolyzable mimetics of amides. Previous work focused on the synthesis non-cyclic monofluoroalkenes. However, diastereoselective monofluorocyclohexenes from substrates is challenging. Herein, we report first photocatalyzed cascade cyclization reactions readily available α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and gem-difluoroalkenes for highly functionalized monofluorocyclohexenes. The reaction shows broad substrate scope with high diastereoselectivity (>30 examples, up to 86 % yield, >20 : 1 dr). post-reaction transformations products demonstrate synthetic potential this methodology.

Copper-Catalyzed 1,4-Trifluoromethylthio-Arylsulfonylation of 1,3-Enynes via the Insertion of Sulfur Dioxide

Organic Letters, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 25(31), P. 5916 - 5921

Published: July 27, 2023

A copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylthio-arylsulfonylation between 1,3-enynes, AgSCF3, aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates, and SO2 (from SOgen) is presented, which could introduce sulfone, SCF3, allene moieties into one molecule simultaneously. This strategy features mild reaction conditions, good substrate compatibility, excellent regioselectivity. The products obtained have the potential for further conversion other valuable compounds. Initial investigations mechanism suggest that it may proceed via a radical pathway. Notably, SOgen was proven as uniquely effective surrogate in this transformation.
