Azetidines are four-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycles that hold great promise in current medicinal chemistry due to their desirable pharmacokinetic effects. However, a lack of efficient synthetic methods access functionalized azetidines has hampered incorporation into pharmaceutical lead structures. As [2+2] cycloaddition reaction between imines and alkenes, the aza Paternò-Büchi arguably represents most direct approach azetidines. Hampered by competing paths accessible upon...

Azetines, four-membered unsaturated nitrogen-containing heterocycles, hold great potential for drug design and development but remain underexplored due to challenges associated with their synthesis. We report an efficient, visible light-mediated approach toward 1- 2-azetines relying on alkynes the unique triplet state reactivity of oximes, specifically 2-isoxazolines. While 2-azetine products are accessible upon intermolecular [2 + 2]-cycloaddition via energy transfer from a commercially...

Despite their favorable properties, azetidines are often overlooked as lead compounds across multiple industries. This is attributed to the challenging synthesis of densely functionalized in an efficient manner. In this work, we report scalable and characterization seven with varying regio- stereochemistry application novel azetidine-based energetic materials, enabled by visible-light-mediated aza Paternò-Büchi reaction. The performance stark differences physical properties these new make...

The development of a Lewis acid-catalyzed ring-opening cross-metathesis reaction which enables selective access to acyclic, unsaturated ketones as the carbonyl–olefin metathesis products is described. While catalytic amounts FeCl3 were previously identified optimal catalyze ring-closing reactions, complementary between cyclic alkenes and carbonyl functionalities relies on GaCl3 superior acid catalyst.

Carbonyl–ene, Prins, and carbonyl–olefin metathesis reactions represent powerful strategies for carbon–carbon bond formation relying on Lewis acid catalysts. Although common acids are able to provide efficient activation, the often proceed with low regio- or chemoselectivity, while high selectivity frequently requires use of well-designed metal–ligand complexes. Here we demonstrate that simple including Me2AlCl, FeCl3, SnCl4 can show remarkable in differentiating between distinct...
