Photoredox catalysis has transformed the landscape of radical-based synthetic chemistry. Additions radicals generated through photoredox to carbon–carbon π-bonds are well-established; however, this approach yet be applied functionalization σ-bonds. Here, we report first such use promote addition organic halides carbocycle [1.1.1]propellane; product bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs) motifs high importance in pharmaceutical industry and materials Showing broad substrate scope functional group...
A wide range of halogenated bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes are accessed by functional group tolerant radical ring-opening tricyclo[1.1.1.0<sup>1,3</sup>]pentane, using triethylborane as initiator.
A general, cost-effective and sustainable replacement for silver in palladium catalysed direct arylations of C(sp<sup>2</sup>)–H C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bonds.
A multicatalytic, asymmetric cascade reaction sequence of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with alkyne-tethered nucleophiles has been developed. Organocatalytic iminium–enamine catalysis combined Lewis acid alkyne activation gave cyclopentene carbaldehyde products in good yields and excellent stereoselectivities (see scheme). To highlight the potential sequence, a key structure for preparation fusicoccane diterpenoid analogue was synthesized. Detailed facts importance to specialist readers are...
ortho-Arylation of ortho-substituted benzoic acids is a challenging process due to the tendency reaction products toward Pd-catalyzed protodecarboxylation. A simple method for preventing decarboxylation in sterically hindered reported. The described represents reliable and broadly applicable entry 2-aryl-6-substituted acids.
Abstract A cooperative multicatalytic cascade sequence involving isocyanoacetates and α,β‐unsaturated ketones is described for the enantioselective synthesis of 2,3‐dihydropyrroles. The key to promoting multistep asymmetric reaction combination cinchona alkaloid derived organocatalysts with silver nitrate. Merging both organic metal catalytic cycles enables formation two C–C bonds generation a stereogenic center in single process. study has also shown that bifunctional role organocatalyst...
A two-catalyst system consisting of different oxidation states palladium is described, which mediates the isomerization alkynyl epoxides to furans. In a process termed "dual state tandem catalysis", multistep pathway delineated in metal and ligands play independent mechanistic roles, but which, combination, enable use milder reaction conditions lower catalyst loadings than single isolation. present context, this rare example homobimetallic catalytic transformation provides mild, scalable,...
Machine learning (ML) is a promising approach for predicting small molecule properties in drug discovery. Here, we provide comprehensive overview of various ML methods introduced this purpose recent years. We review wide range properties, including binding affinities, solubility, and ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, Toxicity). discuss existing popular datasets molecular descriptors embeddings, such as chemical fingerprints graph-based neural networks. highlight also...
Readily available chiral primary 1,2-aminoalcohols and diamines have been explored as organocatalysts for a domino Michael–aldol reaction. Their application in this organocascade process afforded cyclohexanone A with high levels of reactivity (up to 91% yield) stereoselectivity (>97 : 3 d.r., up 93% ee). Depending on the acid cocatalyst different species (cyclic secondary aminesvs. acyclic amines) might catalyse process. In order shed light catalytic activation, several experiments were...
Bicyclic α-iminophosphonates were prepared via the first diastereoselective silver catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of diethyl isocyanomethylphosphonate and diversely N-substituted maleimides. The reduction resulting imine by catalytic hydrogenation led to cyclic α-aminophosphonates, which are α-aminoester surrogates. relative stereochemistry adducts was confirmed X-ray crystallographic analysis 4. diastereoselectivity rationalised theoretical studies.
