AbstractThe Mizoroki–Heck reaction is considered as one of the most ingenious and widely used methods for constructing C–C bonds. This reaction mainly focuses on activated olefins (styrenes, acrylates, or vinyl ethers) and aryl/vinyl (pseudo) halides. In comparison, the studies on unactivated alkenes and alkyl electrophiles are far less due to the low reactivity, poor selectivity, as well as competitive β-H elimination. In the past years, a growing interest has thus been devoted and significant breakthroughs have been achieved in the employment of unactivated alkenes and alkyl electrophiles as the reaction components, and this type of coupling is called as Heck-type or Heck-like reaction, which distinguishes from the traditional Heck reaction. Herein, we give a brief summary on Heck-type reaction between unactivated alkenes and alkyl electrophlies, covering its initial work, recent advancements, and mechanistic discussions.1 Introduction2 Intramolecular Heck-Type Reaction of Unactivated Alkenes and Alkyl Electrophiles2.1 Cobalt-Catalyzed Intramolecular Heck-Type Reaction2.2 Palladium-Catalyzed Intramolecular Heck-Type Reaction2.3 Nickel-Catalyzed Intramolecular Heck-Type Reaction2.4 Photocatalysis and Multimetallic Protocol for Intramolecular Heck-Type Reaction3 Intermolecular Heck-Type Reaction of Unactivated Alkenes and Alkyl Electrophiles3.1 Electrophilic Trifluoromethylating Reagent as Reaction Partners3.2 Alkyl Electrophiles as Reaction Partners4 Oxidative Heck-Type Reaction of Unactivated Alkenes and Alkyl Radicals5 Conclusions and Outlook

Abstract Radical cyclizations are essential reactions in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and the chemical synthesis of societally valuable molecules. In this review, we highlight the general mechanisms utilized in biocatalytic radical cyclizations. We specifically highlight cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) involved in the biosynthesis of mycocyclosin and vancomycin, non-heme iron- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (Fe/αKGDs) used in the biosynthesis of kainic acid, scopolamine, and isopenicillin N, and radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzymes that facilitate the biosynthesis of oxetanocin A, menaquinone, and F420. Beyond natural mechanisms, we also examine repurposed flavin-dependent ‘ene’-reductases (ERED) for non-natural radical cyclization. Overall, these general mechanisms underscore the opportunity for enzymes to augment and enhance the synthesis of complex molecules using radical mechanisms.

The first total synthesis of S-(+)-XJP and R-(−)-XJP has been achieved via intramolecular Heck reaction. A latent functionality strategy was implemented to circumvent the racemization in this endeavor.
