The reactivity of ortho-functionalized N-heterocycle-substituted iodoarenes (NHIAs) as organocatalysts in iodine(I/III)-mediated oxidations was systematically investigated in the α-tosyloxylation of ketones as the model reaction. During a systematic catalyst evolution, it was found that NH-triazoles and benzoxazoles have the most significant positive influence on the reactivity of the central iodine atom. A further catalyst improvement which focused on the substitution pattern of the arene revealed a remarkable ortho-effect. By introduction of an o-OMe group we were able to generate a novel NHIA with a so far unseen catalytic efficiency. This new catalyst is not only easy to synthesize but also enabled the α-tosyloxylation of carbonyl compounds at the lowest reported catalyst loading of only 1 mol%. Finally, the performance of this iodine(I) catalyst was successfully demonstrated in intramolecular oxidative couplings of biphenyls and oxidative rearrangements. (Figure presented.).

A scalable, efficient and chromatography-free synthesis of a new enantiopure C 2-symmetric bis(thiourea) catalyst was accomplished from a readily available starting material. The developed strategy could be conducted on a multi-gram scale. Both the prepared enantiomers of the bis(thiourea) organocatalyst have been tested in the asymmetric Henry reaction under thoroughly optimized conditions during which an unusual solvent effect on enantioselectivity was found. The corresponding adducts were obtained in excellent yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities. The achieved high reactivity and enantioselectivity in the nitroaldol reaction of nitroalkanes with aromatic aldehydes suggests promising potential for this catalyst. Moreover, a significant syn-diastereoselectivity was observed.

Bifunctional C2-symmetric 7,7′-dihydroxymethyl-8,8′-biquinolyl (2) was synthesized in short steps via (i) Cu/Pd-catalyzed homo coupling of 7-methyl-8-bromoquinoline and (ii) Pd(II)-catalyzed double C-H oxidation. Axial chirality of 2 and its synthetic precursor 7,7′-dimethyl-8,8′-biquinolyl (3) is stable. Optically active 2 was obtained through separation of racemic 2 by chiral column HPLC or Pd(II)-catalyzed double C-H oxidation of optically active 3. The absolute stereochemistry of enantiomers of 2 and 3 was determined using the exciton chirality method.
