Simple cationic bis(phosphine)iridium complexes are shown to be highly selective catalysts for ether cleavage with silanes. Benzylic ethers can be cleaved under mild conditions in the presence of reductively-labile functional groups.

AbstractA formal ethylene alkylarylation reaction with aryl halides and alkyl oxalates enabled by synergistic photoredox/nickel catalysis is reported. This protocol takes advantage of borates as a traceless activation group, achieving the formal ethylene difunctionalized products via a catalytic three-component 1,2-alkylarylation of vinyl borate followed by a base-assisted deborylation process. The mild conditions allow for excellent functional groups compatibility and broad substrate scope.

This work describes the synthesis of compounds containing thiazolidine and propargylamidic motifs. Their preparation follows a synthetic route containing two multicomponent reactions. First, the Asinger four-component reaction is used to prepare 3-thiazolines and 3-oxazolines. Secondly, these heterocyclic imines are converted into propargylamides by a copper-catalyzed three-component reaction using acyl chlorides and terminal alkynes. The synthetic route is characterized by mild conditions and many functional groups are tolerated. The formation of an unexpected α-alkynoxyamide is also presented.

An efficient method for nucleophilic aromatic substitution on 7-azaindoles has been developed. The reaction is facilitated by the unique dual influence of SEM as both protecting and activating group, permitting mild conditions and short reaction times that are compatible with sensitive functional groups. The method is suitable for the synthesis of a broad range of products, most notably ethers.

α-Imino gold carbene intermediate is produced from 1-(2′-azidoaryl) propynols, which triggers a 1,2-carbon migration and is converted to 2,3-disubstituted 4-quinolones. The reaction works under mild conditions and tolerates various functional groups.

A simple and efficient protocol for the conversion of N-p-methoxyphenyl, N-p-ethoxyphenyl, N-p-methoxynaphthyl, N-3,4-dimethoxybenzyl and N-p-methoxybenzyl-2-azetidinones to N-unsubstituted 2-azetidinones using cerium(IV) tetrabutylammonium nitrate (CTAN) in dichloromethane is described. The method is compatible with a number of functional groups, and N-unsubstituted 2-azetidinones can be prepared under mild conditions at room temperature. The reaction is rapid, and pure products are obtained in good yields.

Artificial orthogonal bond formations such as the alkyne–azide cycloaddition have enabled selective bioconjugations under mild conditions, yet naturally occurring linkages between native functional groups would be more straightforward to elaborate bioconjugates. Herein, we describe the use of a phosphodiester bond as a versatile option to access various bioconjugates. An opposite activation strategy, involving 5’-phosphitylation of the supported oligonucleotides, has allowed several biomolecules that possess an unactivated alcohol to be directly conjugated. It should be noted that there is no need to pre-install artificial functional groups and undesired and unpredictable perturbations possibly caused by bioconjugation can be minimized.

We report a full account of our research on nickel-catalyzed Markovnikov-selective hydroarylation and hydroalkenylation of non-conjugated alkenes, which has yielded a toolkit of methods that proceed under mild conditions with alkenyl sulfonamide, ketone, and amide substrates. Regioselectivity is controlled through catalyst coordination to the native Lewis basic functional groups contained within these substrates. To maximize product yield, reaction conditions were fine-tuned for each substrate class, reflecting the different coordination properties of the directing functionality. Detailed kinetic and computational studies shed light on the mechanism of this family of transformations, pointing to transmetalation as the turnover-limiting step.
