The photochemical reactivity of acyl azolium salts derived from aliphatic carboxylic acids has been investigated. These species, which serve as models for intermediates generated in N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis, undergo Norrish type II elimination reactions under irradiation with UVA light in analogy to structurally related aromatic ketones. Moreover, efficient Norrish-Yang cyclization was observed from an adamantyl-substituted derivative. These results further demonstrate the ability of NHCs to influence the absorption properties and photochemical reactivity of carbonyl groups during a catalytic cycle.

The hydrofluorination of enolizable ynones with AgF in t-BuOH/DMF is reported. The formation of furans as side products can be suppressed using 2,2′-biphenol. The corresponding β-fluoroenones were obtained with good Z-selectivity. A variety of functional groups are tolerated. β-Fluoroenones are vinylogous acid fluorides whose hydrolysis to vinylogous acids can be avoided under the reported reaction conditions. The asymmetric 1,2-reduction of β-fluoroenones to 3-fluoroallylic alcohols is possible with pinacolborane and a Ni(0) catalyst prepared from a pyrimidyloxazoline ligand.

Described is a facile, scalable route to access functional-group-rich gem-difluoroalkenes. Using visible-light-activated catalysts in conjunction with an arsenal of carbon-radical precursors, an array of trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes undergoes radical defluorinative alkylation. Nonstabilized primary, secondary, and tertiary radicals can be used to install functional groups in a convergent manner, which would otherwise be challenging by two-electron pathways. The process readily extends to other perfluoroalkyl-substituted alkenes. In addition, we report the development of an organotrifluoroborate reagent to expedite the synthesis of the requisite trifluoromethyl-substituted alkene starting materials.
