The difunctionalization reaction is achieved by different reagents. Radicals such as carbon(sp3), carbon(sp2), and other heteroatom(P, S, N, Se, O, and halide) radicals initiated by visible light can undergo radical addition to a carbon-carbon triple bond. Upon further transformation, the desired difunctionalized products are obtained. Some organometallic complexes can be activated by visible light;the difunctionalization of alkynes is catalyzed by these species. Other reagents like 1,3-dipole precursors could also react with alkynes to give difunctionalization products;here, the 1,3-dipole derivatives are obtained by visible light photocatalysis. So far, the strategy has been succeeded in the formation of C–C bonds and C–X bonds. Several valuable chemical skeletons have been constructed under mild conditions. However, high regio-and stereoselectivities in some direct difunctionalization methodologies are yet to be achieved.展开更多

In this field, the intermolecular regiodivergent 1,2-difunctionalization of alkenes with two electrophiles is still a challenging task. A ligand-controlled, nickel-catalyzed regiodivergent dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes using both aryl/vinyl halides and acetals as electrophiles under mild reductive reaction conditions has been accomplished. This study provides a general approach to accessing both β-methoxyl esters and γ-methoxyl esters from readily available acrylates,aryl halides and acetals. Experimental mechanistic evidence supports that the difference in regioselective outcomes is attributed to the ligand tuning the reactivity of the nickel catalyst, which results in different catalytic cycles operating for these two reaction conditions.展开更多

文摘A general and broadly applicable copper and photoredox dual-catalyzed multicomponent 1,4-perfluoroalkylcyanation of 1,3-enynes has been developed.This protocol enjoys success with high regioselectivity,mild reaction conditions,and excellent functional-group tolerance,allowing the facile synthesis of structurally diverse perfluoroalkylated allenes from readily available fluoroalkyl halides,1,3-enynes and TMscN in a one-pot manner.A reasonable mechanism has been proposed according to a series of control experiments.

文摘CO_(2) is an abundant,nontoxic,and renewable C1 feedstock in synthetic chemistry.Direct carboxylation of readily available olefins incorporating CO_(2) is regarded as a promising strategy to access high value-added carboxylic acids as well as CO_(2) fixation.However,due to the thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of CO_(2) and the difficulty in controlling the regioselectivity,the carboxylation of olefins with CO_(2) still remains challenging.Radical-type functionalization with olefins represented a powerful protocol and enabled the development of novel transformations in this realm.More recently,the advance of new technology,such as photoredox catalysis and the renaissance of electrochemistry in organic synthesis,offered access to unique chemical reactivities of radical precursors and provided new solutions to the functionalization of olefins.

文摘Simultaneously forming a carbon-carbon and a carbon-heteroatom bond in a single step through transition metal-catalyzed alkene difunctionalization strategy has emerged as a powerful tool for synthetic organic chemistry.Due to the uncontrollable reactivity,direct cross-coupling with bromoallenes as the building blocks for the selective allenation and borylation remains challenging.We herein report a new type of S-and P-stabilized bromoallenes for palladium-catalyzed modular allenation and borylation of alkenes to the divergent synthesis of multiply functionalized allenes in a highly regio-and diastereoselective manifold.The reaction features broad substrate scope and wide functional group compatibility,thus providing a straightforward method to install allenyl and boryl groups across alkenes.Control experiments highlight the crucial importance of S-,P-stabilization for the oxidative insertion of Pd-species into the allenyl-Br bond.The facile syntheses of bioactive allenic steroids and exocyclic allenes demonstrate the synthetic utility of this protocol.

文摘Since the first report of sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate(CF_(3)SO_(2)Na) as an electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolation reagent in 2015,there has been no breakthrough in research in this field.Herein,we disclose an unprecedented usage of CF_(3)SO_(2)Na as a radical trifluoromethylthiolation reagent.A photocatalyzed ditrifluoromethylthiolation of alkenes with CF_(3)SO_(2)Na in the presence of PPh_(3) and catalytic copper has been developed.Interestingly,either Ir[(p-Fppy)_(2)(bpy)]PF_6 or Ir(ppy)_(3) could facilitate this transformation.Mechanistic studies indicate that initiation of the radical chain proceeded via two different photocatalytic quenching mechanisms.This protocol provides a practical method for the construction of diverse vicinal ditrifluoromethylthiolated compounds.
