Organocatalytic Trapping of Elusive Carbon Dioxide Based Heterocycles by a Kinetically Controlled Cascade Process

A conceptually novel approach is described for the synthesis of six-membered cyclic carbonates derived from carbon dioxide. The approach utilizes homoallylic precursors that are converted into five-membered cyclic carbonates having a β-positioned alcohol group in one of the ring substituents. The activation of the pendent alcohol group through an N-heterocyclic base allows equilibration towards a thermodynamically disfavored six-membered carbonate analogue that can be trapped by an acylating agent. Various control experiments and computational analysis of this manifold are in line with a process that is primarily dictated by a kinetically controlled acylation step. This cascade process delivers an ample diversity of six-membered cyclic carbonates in excellent yields and chemoselectivities under mild reaction conditions.

Electrochemically Enabled Carbohydroxylation of Alkenes with H2O and Organotrifluoroborates

Unprecedented hydroxy-alkynylation and -alkenylation reactions of arylalkenes have been developed through electrochemically enabled addition of an organotrifluoroborate reagent and H2O across the double bond of the alkene. The use of electrochemistry to promote these oxidative alkene 1,2-difunctionalization reactions not only obviates the need for transition-metal catalysts and oxidizing reagents but also ensures high regio- and chemoselectivity to afford homopropargylic or homoallylic alcohols. The possibility of extending the electrochemical alkene difunctionalization strategy to other alkene carbo-heterofunctionalization reactions has been demonstrated.
