Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 62(21)

Опубликована: Март 16, 2023

Abstract Cyclopropanes are desirable structural motifs with valuable applications in drug discovery and beyond. Established alkene cyclopropanation methods give rise to cyclopropanes a limited array of substituents, difficult scale, or both. Herein, we disclose new cyclopropane synthesis through the formal coupling abundant carbon pronucleophiles unactivated alkenes. This strategy exploits dicationic adducts derived from electrolysis thianthrene presence substrates. We find that these dielectrophiles undergo methylene via alkenyl thianthrenium intermediates. protocol is scalable, proceeds high diastereoselectivity, tolerates diverse functional groups on both pronucleophile partners. To validate utility this procedure, prepared an substituted analogs established en route multiple pharmaceuticals.

Electrochemical Synthesis and Reactivity of Three‐Membered Strained Carbo‐ and Heterocycles

Chemistry - A European Journal, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 29(57)

Опубликована: Июль 12, 2023

Three-membered carbocyclic and heterocyclic ring structures are versatile synthetic building blocks in organic synthesis with biological importance. Moreover, the inherent strain of these three-membered rings leads to their ring-opening functionalization through C->C, C->N, C-O bond cleavage. Traditional methods for molecules require use acid catalysts or transition metals. Recently, electro-organic has emerged as a powerful tool initiating new chemical transformations. In this review, mechanistic aspects electro-mediated carbo- heterocycles highlighted.

Metal- and Additive-Free Intermolecular Aziridination of Olefins Using N-Boc-O-tosylhydroxylamine

Synthesis, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 54(20), С. 4513 - 4520

Опубликована: Июнь 20, 2022

Abstract A metal and additive-free stereospecific direct N-H N-Me aziridination of inactivated olefins is disclosed using N-Boc-O-tosyl­hydroxylamine (TsONHBoc) as an aminating agent in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). The use TsONHBoc, which generates the free situ under reaction conditions, has several inherent advantages over other similar agents, such low cost, easy access, stability (non-explosiveness) during storage a longer time.

Chemical Science, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 15(34), С. 13576 - 13604

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

Three-membered rings, such as epoxides, aziridines, oxaziridines, cyclopropenes, vinyloxaziridines, and azirines, are recognized crucial pharmacophores building blocks in organic chemistry drug discovery. Despite the significant advances synthesis of these rings through photo/electrochemical methods over past decade, there has currently been no focused discussion updated overviews on this topic. Therefore, we presented review article efficient three-membered using photo- electrochemical strategies, covering literature since 2015. In study, a conceptual overview detailed discussions were provided to illustrate advancement field. Moreover, brief outlines current challenges opportunities synthesizing strategies.

Electrochemical flow aziridination of unactivated alkenes

National Science Review, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 10(10)

Опубликована: Июль 3, 2023

ABSTRACT Aziridines derived from bioactive molecules may have unique pharmacological activities, making them useful in pharmacology (e.g. mitomycin C). Furthermore, the substitution of epoxide moiety epothilone B with aziridine, an analog epoxides, yielded a pronounced enhancement its anticancer efficacy. Thus, there is interest developing novel synthetic technologies to produce aziridines molecules. However, known methods usually require metal catalysts, stoichiometric oxidants and/or pre-functionalized amination reagents, causing difficulty application. A practical approach without catalyst and extra-oxidant for aziridination demand, yet challenging. Herein, we report electro-oxidative flow protocol that accomplishes oxidant-free natural products. This process achieved by oxidative sulfonamide/alkene cross-coupling, which sulfonamide alkene undergo simultaneous oxidation or oxidized preferentially. Further treatments cell lines demonstrated activities these aziridines, supporting potential this method drug discovery.
