Unique Potential

The widely available carboxylate groups have recently emerged as advantageous leaving groups for regioselective ipso substitutions and directing groups for ortho-C–H functionalizations in transition-metal catalysis. In the latter reactions, they can subsequently be transformed into a wealth of functionalities through decarboxylative ipso substitutions, or tracelessly removed through protodecarboxylation. The latest development in this field are reactions in which carboxylic acids function as deciduous directing groups, unlocking their unique potential for achieving regioselective monofunctionalization of a single ortho-C–H position. A deciduous directing group stays in place just long enough to direct an incoming reagent into a specific position and is then shed tracelessly as soon as the new C–C or C–heteroatom bond has formed. This inherently prevents unwanted double functionalization. This account discusses characteristics and synthetic opportunities of reactions with carboxylates as deciduous directing groups.

Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids

AbstractAliphatic carboxylic acids are abundant in natural and synthetic sources and are widely used as connection points in many chemical transformations. Radical decarboxylative functionalization promoted by transition-metal catalysis has achieved great success, enabling carboxylic acids to be easily transformed into a wide variety of products. Herein, we highlight the recent advances made on transition-metal (Ni, Cu, Fe, Co or Cr) catalyzed C–X (X = C, N, H, O, B, or Si) bond formation as well as syntheses of ketones, amino acids, alcohols, ethers and difluoromethyl derivatives via radical decarboxylation of carboxylic acids or their derivatives, including, among others, redox-active esters (RAEs), anhydrides, and diacyl peroxides.1 Introduction2 Ni-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Functionalizations3 Cu-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Functionalizations4 Fe-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Functionalizations5 Co- and Cr-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Functionalizations6 Conclusions

Benzothiazole Derivatives

AbstractA synthesis of benzothiazole derivatives through the reaction of 2-halo-N-allylanilines with K2S in DMF is developed. The trisulfur radical anion S3·–, which is generated in situ from K2S in DMF, initiates the reaction without transition-metal catalysis or other additives. In addition, two C–S bonds are formed and heteroaromatization of benzothiazole is triggered by radical cyclization and H-shift.

AbstractThe concept of merging enamine activation catalysis with transition metal catalysis is an important strategy, which allows for selective chemical transformations not accessible without this combination. The amine catalyst activates the carbonyl compounds through the formation of a reactive nucleophilic enamine intermediate and, in parallel, the transition metal activates a wide range of functionalities such as allylic substrates through the formation of reactive electrophilic π-allyl-metal complex. Since the first report of this strategy in 2006, considerable effort has been devoted to the successful advancement of this technology. In this chapter, these findings are highlighted and discussed.

Sulfoxides are uncommon substrates for transition-metal catalysis due to their propensity to inhibit catalyst turnover. We have developed the first DKR of racemic allylic sulfoxides where rhodium catalyzed both sulfoxide epimerization and alkene hydrogenation.
