Switchable Divergent Synthesis Using Photocatalysis

ACS Catalysis, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 12(3), С. 1857 - 1878

Опубликована: Янв. 20, 2022

A highly selective and divergent synthesis enables access to various molecules has garnered broad interest from not only organic chemists but also medicinal biologists who work with chemical libraries. Since the 20th century, such transformations have been achieved using transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, in which choice of catalyst or ligand crucially affects selectivity. Over past several decades, photocatalysts attracted a considerable amount attention because they provide additional ways control reaction intermediates product selectivity via electron energy transfer. From this perspective, we highlight recent development switchable syntheses photocatalysts, are difficult achieve classical catalytic transformations.

Synthesis of Cyclopropenols Enabled by Visible‐Light‐Induced Organocatalyzed [2+1] Cyclization

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 61(10)

Опубликована: Янв. 7, 2022

Although the synthesis of common cyclopropenes has been well studied, access to cyclopropenols is rather limited. Herein, we report first α-trifluoromethylated via 2+1 cycloaddition reactions between alkynes and trifluoroacylsilanes, enabled by visible-light-induced organocatalysis. The novel ambiphilic donor-acceptor carbenes derived from trifluoroacetylsilanes reacted efficiently with both activated non-activated alkynes. reaction features simple operation, mild conditions, broad substrate scope good functional group tolerance. synthetic potential highlighted gram-scale cyclopropanols through combination cyclization high diastereoselective hydrogenation in one pot.

Privileged chiral catalysts-those that share common structural features and are enantioselective across a range of reactions-continue to transform the chemical-research landscape1. In recent years, new reactivity modes have been achieved through excited-state catalysis, processes activated by light, but it is unclear if selectivity ground-state privileged catalysts can be matched. Although interception photogenerated intermediates cycles has partially addressed this challenge2, single, photocatalysts simultaneously regulate conspicuously scarce3. So far, precision donor-acceptor recognition motifs remain crucial in photocatalyst design4. Here we show Al-salen complexes, which well-defined photophysical properties, used for efficient photochemical deracemization5 cyclopropyl ketones (up 98:2 enantiomeric ratio (e.r.)). Irradiation at λ = 400 nm (violet light) augments commercial catalyst enable enantioselectivity regulated simultaneously. This circumvents need tailored catalyst-substrate motifs. It predicted study will stimulate re-evaluation many venerable (ground-state) processes, ultimately leading identification candidates may considered 'privileged' both models.

Controlling the enantioselectivity of hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions has been a long-standing synthetic challenge. While recent advances on photoenzymatic catalysis have demonstrated great potential non-natural photoenzymes, all transformations are initiated by single-electron reduction substrate, with only one notable exception. Herein, we report an oxidation-initiated enantioselective hydrosulfonylation olefins using novel mutant gluconobacter ene-reductase (GluER-W100F-W342F). Compared to known systems, our approach does not rely formation electron donor–acceptor complex between substrates and enzyme cofactor simplifies reaction system obviating addition regeneration mixture. More importantly, GluER variant exhibits high reactivity broad substrate scope. Mechanistic studies support proposed mechanism reveal that tyrosine-mediated HAT process is involved.

Nature Chemistry, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(4), С. 607 - 614

Опубликована: Янв. 16, 2024

Abstract Two- or one-electron-mediated difunctionalizations of internal alkenes represent straightforward approaches to assemble molecular complexity by the simultaneous formation two contiguous C sp 3 stereocentres. Although racemic versions have been extensively explored, asymmetric variants, especially those involving open-shell C-centred radical species, are much more limited both in number and scope. Here we describe enantioenriched arylsulfinylamides as all-in-one reagents for efficient asymmetric, intermolecular aminoarylation alkenes. Under mild photoredox conditions, nitrogen addition arylsulfinylamide onto double bond, followed 1,4-translocation aromatic ring, produce, a single operation, corresponding adducts enantiomerically enriched form. The sulfinyl group acts here traceless chiral auxiliary, it is eliminated situ under reaction conditions. Optically pure β,β-diarylethylamines, aryl-α,β-ethylenediamines α-aryl-β-aminoalcohols, prominent motifs pharmaceuticals, bioactive natural products ligands transition metals, thereby accessible with excellent levels regio-, relative absolute stereocontrol.
