A continuous-flow, visible-light-promoted method has been developed to overcome the limitations of iron-catalyzed Kumada-Corriu cross-coupling reactions. variety strongly electron rich aryl chlorides, previously hardly reactive, could be efficiently coupled with aliphatic Grignard reagents at room temperature in high yields and within a few minutes' residence time, considerably enhancing applicability this reaction. The robustness protocol was demonstrated on multigram scale, thus providing...
The merging of photoredox and transition-metal catalysis has become one the most attractive approaches for carbon-carbon bond formation. Such reactions require use two organo-transition-metal species, which acts as a photosensitizer other cross-coupling catalyst. We report herein an exogenous-photosensitizer-free photocatalytic process formation bonds by direct acceleration well-known nickel-catalyzed Negishi that is based on naturally abundant metals. This finding will open new avenues in...
We report a continuous-flow protocol for the trifluoromethylation of arenes, heteroarenes, and benzofused heterocycles. This photoredox methodology relies on use solid sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate (CF3SO2Na) as trifluoromethylating agent iridium complex [Ir{dF(CF3)ppy}2](dtbpy)]PF6 catalyst. A diverse set highly functionalized heterocycles proved compatible with methodology, moderate to good yields were obtained within 30 minutes residence time.
Abstract A visible‐light‐induced Negishi cross‐coupling is enabled by the activation of a Pd 0 –Zn complex. With this photocatalytic method, scope deactivated aryl halides that can be employed in coupling was significantly expanded. NMR experiments conducted presence and absence light confirmed formation palladium–zinc complex key for accelerating oxidative addition step.
Abstract Herein, we report the de novo synthesis and characterization of a series substituted bithiophene derivatives as novel inexpensive organic photocatalysts. DFT calculations were used to predict priori their absorption spectra redox potentials, which then confirmed with empirical data.

We report herein the transfer of dual photoredox and nickel catalysis for C(sp2)C(sp3) cross coupling form batch to flow. This new procedure clearly improves scalability previous reaction by reactor's size operating time reduction, allows preparation interesting compounds drug discovery in multigram amounts.
The scale up of light-induced nickel-catalyzed Negishi reactions is reported herein, with output rates reaching multigram quantities per hour. This level throughput suitable to support preclinical medicinal chemistry programs in late lead optimization, where tens grams hundreds final product needed. Adjusting reaction times and concentrations was critical achieving this robust output. example demonstrates how visible photochemistry use solid metal reagent can be used the progress followed by...
An economical synthesis of lamivudine was developed by employing a new method to establish the stereochemistry about heterocyclic oxathiolane ring. Toward this end, an inexpensive and readily accessible lactic acid derivative served dual purpose activating carbohydrate's anomeric center for N-glycosylation transferring stereochemical information substrate simultaneously. Both enantiomers are available, either β-enantiomer in challenging class 2′-deoxynucleoside active pharmaceutical...

However, there a lack diverse methods introduce C(sp ) into molecule library synthesis. In this work, we report combination continuous flow chemistry with photochemistry create an automated platform for synthesis using halogen atom transfer (XAT) reaction increase molecules. The has broad scope alkyl halides and electron deficient alkenes. We 84 compounds productivity 1.5...
In drug discovery, automated library synthesis has traditionally focussed on established chemistry such as amide formation or Suzuki coupling. However, to explore a broader chemical space, recent protocols have emphasized increasing the fraction of sp3 hybridized carbons move beyond limitations planar molecules. Herein we present novel approach for multistep in continuous flow, enabling linkage three different elements combinatorial way. To achieve this synthesis, employed nine reactions...
In drug discovery, traditional automated library synthesis has typically involved single-step synthetic procedures targeting a single vector of interest. However, achieving greater structural diversity requires exploring multistep and multivectorial approaches. These methodologies enable the preparation compounds with varying structures in experiment. Here, we present novel method for continuous flow. This approach offers unique opportunities, such as linkers between two defined vectors or...

Recently, we demonstrated that ylidenemalononitriles (YMs) react with amines to form cyclic amidines and the starting linear YMs are nonemissive in solution fluorescent. These turn-on systems were of interest us because their potential as biosensors synthons for accessing functionalized pyridines. While our original method was promising, several limitations persisted, including access more polar-solvent-soluble structures well increased control over rate cyclization. Herein, report a new...
