Heteroleptic copper(I) complexes as energy transfer photocatalysts for the intermolecular [2 + 2] photodimerization of chalcones, cinnamates and cinnamamides

The [2 + 2] photodimerization of chalcones, cinnamates and cinnamamides can be effectively catalyzed by heteroleptic copper(I) complexes. The reactions were carried out under mild reaction conditions and the products were obtained in 20–72% yield under visible light irradiation. The copper-based photocatalyst comprised of the rigid phenanthroline ligand with substituents at the 2,9-positions and the 4,7-positions showed high activity in the photodimerization via an energy transfer pathway.

Microwave accelerated the solvent-free synthesis of 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrocoumarin via the tandem reaction of cinnamic acids with phenols catalyzed by Amberlyst 15 resin

Amberlyst 15 resin supported the tandem reaction of cinnamic acids with phenols under solvent-free reaction condition has been introduced to afford 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrocoumarin (neoflavanone) derivatives. The efficiency of solid acidic sulfonic resin (A-15) has been illustrated in two reaction activation methods such as microwave irradiation and conventional heating. The important roles of Amberlyst 15 have been emphasized strongly through the high yields of 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrocoumarin in the shorter time under the assistance of microwave irradiation than of conventional heating, and its high recovery and reusability for six catalyst runs. The original catalyst as well as the recycled catalyst were characterized by XRD and FE-SEM to study the correlation of the surface of reused catalyst and its recyclability.

Photoinduced Oxidative Alkoxycarbonylation of Alkenes with Alkyl Formates

A photoinduced oxidative alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes initiated by intermolecular addition of alkoxycarbonyl radicals has been demonstrated. Employing alkyl formates as alkoxycarbonyl radical sources, a range of α,β-unsaturated esters were obtained with good regioselectivity and E selectivity under ambient conditions.
