Molecules, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 28(16), P. 6127 - 6127

Published: Aug. 18, 2023

The functionalisation of C–H bonds has been an enormous achievement in synthetic methodology, enabling new retrosynthetic disconnections and affording simple equivalents for synthons. Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) is a key method forming alkyl radicals from substrates. Classic reactions, including the Barton nitrite ester reaction Hofmann–Löffler–Freytag reaction, among others, provided early examples HAT. However, recent developments photoredox catalysis electrochemistry have made HAT powerful tool capable introducing wide range functional groups into bonds. Moreover, greater mechanistic insights stimulated development increasingly site-selective protocols. Site-selectivity can be achieved through tuning electron density at certain using additives, judicious choice reagent, solvent system. Herein, we describe latest methods functionalizing C–H/Si–H/Ge–H indirect between 2018–2023, as well critical discussion reagents, aspects, substrate scopes, background contexts

Published: March 10, 2024

The development of new synthetic methods for B–H bond activation has been an important research area in boron cluster chemistry, which may provide opportunities to broaden the application scope clusters. Herein, we present a reaction strategy direct site-selective functionalization nido-carboranes initiated by photoinduced cage via noncovalent cage···π interaction. As result, nido-carborane radical is generated through single electron transfer from 3D 2D photocatalyst upon irradiation with green light. resulting transient could be directly probed advanced time-resolved EPR technique. In air, subsequent transformations active have led efficient and selective B–N, B–S, B–Se couplings presence N-heterocycles, imines, thioethers, thioamides, selenium ethers. This protocol also facilitates both late-stage modification drugs synthesis nido-carborane-based drug candidates neutron capture therapy (BNCT).

Organocatalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of o-Carboranyl Amines

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 14, 2025

Carboranyl amines are distinct from typical organic amines. Due to the electronic influence of carborane cage, they have low nucleophilicity and reluctant alkylate. Moreover, asymmetric synthesis chiral carboranes is still in its infancy. Herein we achieved first catalytic N-alkylation o-carboranyl amine, providing general access diverse secondary with high efficiency enantioselectivity under mild conditions. For time, organocatalysis was introduced chemistry. Key success use situ generated (naphtho-)quinone methides as alkylating reagents suitable acid catalysts. This protocol also applicable S-alkylation 1-SH-o-C2B10H11. Control experiments kinetic studies provided important insights into reaction mechanism, which likely involves rate-determining generation quinone methide followed by fast enantio-determining nucleophilic addition.

Visible‐Light‐Induced Photoreduction of Carborane Phosphonium Salts: Efficient Synthesis of Carborane‐Oxindole‐Pharmaceutical Hybrids

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 62(31)

Published: April 29, 2023

Visible-light-induced photoreaction of carboranes is an effective approach to prepare carborane-containing compounds. While several methods involving boron-centered carboranyl radicals have been established, those for carbon-centered are underdeveloped, except the UV-light-promoted photohomolysis. Herein, we describe a simple but access by photoreduction carborane phosphonium salts under blue light irradiation without using transition metals and photocatalysts. The utility method was demonstrated successfully preparing range carborane-oxindole-pharmaceutical hybrids radical cascade reactions.
