HFIP Solvent Enables Alcohols to Act as Alkylating Agents in Stereoselective Heterocyclization
Zhu, Yuxiang,Colomer, Ignacio,Thompson, Amber L.,Donohoe, Timothy J.
, p. 6489 - 6493 (2019)
A new method for the stereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized oxygen heterocycles using allyl or benzyl alcohols as alkylating agents is presented. The process is efficient and atom economic, generating water as the only stoichiometric byproduct. Substoichiometric amounts of Ti(OiPr)4 in HFIP solvent are key to this reactivity, and the method tolerates a broad substitution pattern on both the alcohol initiator and homoallylic alcohol substrate. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal in situ formation of a titanium complex with HFIP which may initiate the cyclization reaction. Further stereoselective functionalization of the products allows access to a diverse range of interesting heterocyclic structures.
Photooxidizing chromium catalysts for promoting radical cation cycloadditions
Stevenson, Susan M.,Shores, Matthew P.,Ferreira, Eric M.
, p. 6506 - 6510 (2015)
The photooxidizing capabilities of selected CrIII complexes for promoting radical cation cycloadditions are described. These complexes have sufficiently long-lived excited states to oxidize electron-rich alkenes, thereby initiating [4+2] processes. These metal species augment the spectrum of catalysts explored in photoredox systems, as they feature unique properties that can result in differential reactivity from the more commonly employed ruthenium or iridium catalysts. Spotlight on chromium: Selected CrIII complexes were investigated for promoting radical cation cycloadditions. These species have sufficiently long-lived excited states to oxidize electron-rich alkenes, thereby initiating [4+2] processes. These metal complexes augment the spectrum of catalysts explored in photoredox systems, featuring properties that can result in differential reactivity from the more common Ru or Ir catalysts.
Radical Cation Diels-Alder Reactions by TiO2 Photocatalysis
Nakayama, Kaii,Maeta, Naoya,Horiguchi, Genki,Kamiya, Hidehiro,Okada, Yohei
, p. 2246 - 2250 (2019/04/10)
Radical cation Diels-Alder reactions by titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis in lithium perchlorate/nitromethane solution are described. TiO2 photocatalysis promotes reactions between electron-rich dienes and dienophiles, which would otherwise be difficult to accomplish due to electronic mismatching. The reactions are triggered by hole oxidation of the dienophile and are completed by the excited electron reduction of the radical cation intermediate at the dispersed surface in the absence of any sacrificial substrate.
Radical Cation Cyclopropanations via Chromium Photooxidative Catalysis
Sarabia, Francisco J.,Ferreira, Eric M.
supporting information, p. 2865 - 2868 (2017/06/07)
The chromium photocatalyzed cyclopropanation of diazo reagents with electron-rich alkenes is described. The transformation occurs under mild conditions and features specific distinctions from traditional diazo-based cyclopropanations (e.g., avoiding β-hydride elimination, chemoselectivity considerations, etc.). The reaction appears to work most effectively using chromium catalysis, and a number of decorated cyclopropanes can be accessed in generally good yields.
