Photoelectrochemical Asymmetric Catalysis Enables Enantioselective Heteroarylcyanation of Alkenes via C–H Functionalization

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 145(34), С. 18753 - 18759

The asymmetric difunctionalization of alkenes, a method transforming readily accessible alkenes into enantioenriched chiral structures high value, has long been focal point organic synthesis. Despite tremendous efforts in this domain, it remains considerable challenge to devise enantioselective oxidative dicarbofunctionalization even though these transformations can utilize stable and unfunctionalized functional group donors. In context, we report herein photoelectrocatalytic for the heteroarylcyanation aryl which employs heteroarenes through C-H functionalization. photoelectrochemical catalysis (PEAC) combines photoredox electrocatalysis facilitate formation two C-C bonds operating via hydrogen (H2) evolution obviating need external chemical oxidants.

Recent Advances in Reactions Involving Carbon Dioxide Radical Anion

ACS Catalysis, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(24), С. 15991 - 16011

Опубликована: Ноя. 28, 2023

Carbon dioxide radical anion (CO2•–) is a highly reactive nucleophilic species that has recently emerged in organic chemistry as strong single electron donor (reductant) and reactant for the synthesis of carboxylic acids. In general, CO2•– can be generated by either direct reduction CO2 or HAT formate salts. Achievements reactions involving have been witnessed recent years. This Review summarizes advances highlighting some challenges identifying potential areas improvement, which may offer inspiration future studies.

Electrocatalysis and photocatalysis have been the focus of extensive research efforts in organic synthesis recent decades, these powerful strategies provided a wealth new methods to construct complex molecules. Despite intense efforts, only recently has there significant on combined use two modalities. Nevertheless, past five years witnessed rapidly growing interest area electrophotocatalysis. This hybrid strategy capitalizes enormous benefits using photons as reagents while also employing an electric potential convenient tunable source or sink electrons. Research this topic led number for C-H functionalization, reductive cross-coupling, olefin addition among others. field seen broad range catalyst types, including both metal organocatalysts. Of particular note work with open-shell photocatalysts, which tend comparatively large redox potentials. Electrochemistry provides means generate such species, making electrophotocatalysis particularly amenable intriguing class catalyst. review surveys applied synthesis, organized broadly into oxidative, reductive, neutral transformations.
