The photo-induced azole C–H arylation was realized with a dual-catalytic copper-based system. Exceedingly mild reaction conditions at ambient temperature and visible light irradiation enabled broad scope high functional group tolerance.
In recent years, enantioselective electrocatalysis has surfaced as an increasingly-effective platform for sustainable molecular synthesis. Despite indisputable progress, strategies that allow the control of two distinct stereogenic elements with high selectivity remain elusive. contrast, we, herein, describe electrochemical cobalt-catalyzed C-H activations enable installation chiral centers along a axis levels enantio- and diastereoselectivities. The developed strategy allowed C-H/N-H...
Enantioselective electrocatalyzed C–H activations have emerged as a transformative platform for the assembly of value-added chiral organic molecules. Despite recent progress, construction multiple C(sp3)-stereogenic centers via C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond formation has thus far proven to be elusive. In contrast, we herein report an annulative activation strategy, generating Fsp3-rich molecules with high levels diastereo- and enantioselectivity. κ2-N,O-oxazoline preligands were effectively employed in...
During the past decade, photo- and electrochemical reactions proceeding via single-electron-transfer (SET) triggered radical pathways have emerged as an indispensable strategy for efficient formation of chemical bonds.
Radical additions onto olefins have surfaced as an increasingly powerful strategy for the synthesis of difunctionalized scaffolds. However, despite major advances, known approaches continue to be largely limited two manifolds, namely 1,2-difunctionalization alkenes and remote difunctionalization via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). Herein, we describe a mechanistically distinct approach by photoinduced carbon-carbon (C-C) activation/ring-opening access γ,δ-unsaturated aldehydes from...

Abstract The demand for commodity plastics reaches unprecedented dimensions. In contrast to the well‐developed plethora of methods polymer synthesis, sustainable strategies end‐of‐life management continue be scarce. While mechanical re‐cycling often results in downgraded materials, chemical or up‐cycling offers tremendous potential an efficient and green approach, thereby addressing precarious treatment post‐use within a circular carbon economy. Recently, electrochemistry surfaced as...

Abstract Radikalische Additionsreaktionen an Olefine haben sich als eine zunehmend leistungsfähige Strategie für die Synthese von difunktionalisierten Verbindungen entwickelt. Trotz signifikanter Fortschritte sind bekannten Methoden weitgehend auf zwei Ansätze beschränkt, welche entweder 1,2‐Difunktionalisierung Alkenen oder distale Funktionalisierung mittels Wasserstoffatomtransfer (HAT) verfolgen.

Abstract In den letzten Jahren hat sich die enantioselektive Elektrokatalyse zunehmend als eine effektive Methode für nachhaltige molekulare Synthese herausgestellt.
