Abstract Irradiation of vinyl and aryl azides with visible light in the presence Ru photocatalysts results formation reactive nitrenes, which can undergo a variety CN bond‐forming reactions. The ability to use low‐energy instead UV photochemical activation avoids competitive photodecomposition processes that have long been significant limitation on synthetic these

Abstract Immune checkpoint blockade is effective for some patients with cancer, but most are refractory to current immunotherapies and new approaches needed overcome resistance 1,2 . The protein tyrosine phosphatases PTPN2 PTPN1 central regulators of inflammation, their genetic deletion in either tumour cells or immune promotes anti-tumour immunity 3–6 However, challenging drug targets; particular, the active site has been considered undruggable. Here we present discovery characterization...

α,β-Unsaturated 2-imidazolyl ketones undergo [2 + 2] cycloaddition with a variety of Michael acceptors upon irradiation visible light in the presence Ru(bpy)(3)(2+). Cleavage imidazolyl auxiliary from cycloadducts affords cyclobutane carboxamides, esters, thioesters, and acids that would not be accessible direct corresponding unsaturated carbonyl compounds.

Abstract Azidoformates are interesting potential nitrene precursors, but their direct photochemical activation can result in competitive formation of aziridination and allylic amination products. Herein, we show that visible‐light‐activated transition‐metal complexes be triplet sensitizers selectively produce aziridines through the spin‐selective photogeneration nitrenes from azidoformates. This approach enables a wide range alkenes formal oxyamination enol ethers using alkene as limiting...

Over the past decade, there has been a renewed interest in use of transition metal polypyridyl complexes as photoredox catalysts for variety innovative synthetic applications. Many derivatives these are known, and effect ligand modifications on their efficacy subject extensive, systematic investigation. However, influence photocatalyst counteranion received little attention, despite fact that generally cationic nature. Herein, we demonstrate effects exert surprising, dramatic impact rate...

An 18-step synthesis of the antibiotic (+)-pleuromutilin is disclosed. The key steps include a highly stereoselective SmI2-mediated cyclization to establish eight-membered ring and stereospecific transannular [1,5]-hydrogen atom transfer set C10 stereocenter. This strategy was also used prepare (+)-12-epi-pleuromutilin. chemistry described here will enable efforts new mutilin antibiotics.

We report operationally facile methods for the synthesis of substituted dihydroisoquinolinones and tetrahydroisoquinolines from readily accessible o-bromobenzyl bromides o-bromobenzaldehydes, respectively. While classical electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are tailored to construction saturated isoquinolines derived electron-rich precursors, we demonstrate efficient syntheses electronically diverse substrates produce cyclized products as single regioisomers.
