Disclosed herein is the development of a novel single-electron reduction of acyl azoliums for the formation of ketones from carboxylic acids. Facile construction of the acyl azolium <i>in situ</i> followed by a radical-radical coupling was made possible using merged NHC-photoredox catalysis. The utility of this protocol in synthesis was demonstrated in the late-stage functionalization of a variety of pharmaceutical compounds.

Abstract α-Fluoromethylarenes are common substructures in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, with the introduction of fluorine often resulting in improved biological activity and stability. Despite recent progress, synthetic routes to α-fluorinated diarylmethanes are still rare. Herein we describe the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of α-fluorinated benzylic triflones with arylboronic acids affording structurally diverse α-fluorinated diarylmethanes. The ease of synthesis of fluorinated triflones as the key starting materials enables powerful late-stage transformations of known biologically active compounds into fluorinated analogs.

Studies toward the synthesis of three biologically active [5,6]-benzannulated spiroketal natural products are described. The first total synthesis of paecilospirone is reported, employing a late-stage, pH-neutral spiroketalization. A formal synthesis of γ-rubromycin is described, where the spiroketal moiety is formed by delicate manipulation of the electronic properties of the spirocyclization precursor. Finally, model work toward the total synthesis of berkelic acid is summarized, introducing a novel Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons/oxa-Michael (HWE/oxa-M) cascade to access the spiroketal precursor.

A tandem process has been developed for the general preparation of aryl iodide compounds from anilines that is also applicable for the late-stage iodination of biologically active agents.
