Aqueous electrochemical coupling reactions, which enable the green synthesis of complex organic compounds, will be a crucial tool in synthetic chemistry. However, lack informed approaches for screening suitable catalysts is major obstacle to its development. Here, we propose pioneering reductive reaction toward direct electrosynthesis oxime from NOx and aldehyde. Through integrating experimental theoretical methods, screen out optimal catalyst, i.e., metal Fe that facilitates enrichment C–N key intermediates, all leading high yields (e.g., ∼99% yield benzaldoxime) over Fe. With divided flow reactor, achieve benzaldoxime production 22.8 g h–1 gcat–1 ∼94% isolated yield. This work not only paves way industrial mass via but also offers references catalyst selection other reactions.

Over the past decade, visible-light-mediated energy-transfer (EnT) catalysis, particularly triplet–triplet (TTEnT) has emerged as a mild and environmentally friendly approach for diverse organic synthetic transformations. In contrast to photoredox which typically requires sacrificial electron donors or acceptors complete catalytic cycle, EnT photocatalysis generally proceeds with high atom economy while minimizing generation of wasteful byproducts. Furthermore, successful catalysis is contingent upon precise control redox potentials both photocatalysts substrates, strategies are primarily influenced by triplet energy compatibility between these entities. Considering growing importance photocatalysis, well hydrofunctionalization difunctionalization reactions in synthesis, this review systematically summarizes significant advancements EnT-enabled unsaturated compounds via sigma-bond homolysis over decade. Special emphasis placed on elucidating substrate scopes mechanistic scenarios. Additionally, discusses versatile applications methodologies addresses current challenges opportunities within evolving research field. This structured into six main categories based different types sigma-bonds undergoing homolysis. These include transformations mediated 1) N–O bond oxime esters other N,O-radical precursors; 2) N–S N-sulfonyl imines N,S-radical 3) chalcogen–chalcogen disulfides oxy/thio/selenosulfonates; 4) C–S tri/difluoromethylated sulfinates, acetylenic triflones, arylsulfonium salts; 5) C–X (X = halogen) halides; 6) acceptors. Through providing theoretical backgrounds along comprehensive overview currently employed acceptors, photosensitizers, contemporary EnT-induced compounds, aims serve an invaluable resource future innovations rapidly

Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 11(8)

Опубликована: Июнь 14, 2022

Abstract O‐substituted derivatives of N ‐hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) have attracted much attention recently as synthetically available, stable, and convenient reagents for the generation free radicals under mild conditions. The single‐electron reduction by a photoredox catalyst or another reagent results in N−O bond cleavage an NHPI derivative with release that undergo selective synthetic transformations. Whereas ‐acyloxyphtalimides (NHPI esters) are well known C‐radical source due to facile one‐electron followed decarboxylation, ‐alkoxyphtalimides less studied radical precursors. present review shows effective free‐radical transformations starting from alkoxy radicals. Visible light induced reactions discussed first, these processes classified according way how intermediate transformed C‐centered radicals: via hydrogen atom transfer oxygen (HAT, including 1,5‐HAT, 1,2‐HAT, intermolecular HAT) β‐scission. Other photochemical alkoxyphthalimides non‐photochemical tin‐mediated separately.
