Two vicinal aminobenzyl alcohols, L-threo-1-(4-methylthiophenyl)-2-amino-1,3-propanediol (IIa) and 1-phenyl-2-amino-1,3-propanediol (IIb), underwent, under mild conditions, CC-bond cleavage with 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone (I) producing in high yields 4-methylthiobenzaldehyde (Va) and benzaldehyde (Vb), respectively, and 2-hydroxymethyl-4,6-di-tert-butylbenzoxazole (VII). Ethanolamine (VIII) under identical conditions produced benzoxazole VII. The reported reaction is a second case in which quinone I mimics reactions of pyridoxal.

We report the decarbonylation of aldehydes through an aldehydic C–H bond cleavage catalyzed by a cationic iridium/bisphosphine catalyst. The reaction proceeds under relatively mild conditions to give the corresponding hydrocarbon products in moderate to high yields. In addition, this cationic iridium catalyst system can be applied to an asymmetric hydroacylation of ketones.

An efficient synthesis of benzyl tert-butyl iminodicarbonate (IV), starting from benzoyl isocyanate, is reported. Reaction of the isocyanate with benzyl alcohol gave benzyl N-benzoylcarbamate (II) which on exhaustive tert-butoxycarbonylation via the non-isolated triacyl amine III, after aminolysis, provided the title compound. The sodium salt V was alkylated with various halides under Gabriel conditions to give in high yields the corresponding benzyloxycarbonyl tert-butoxycarbonyl diprotected amines. Similarly, compound IV was alkylated with alcohols under Mitsunobu conditions to give some additional amines of this type, from which the protecting groups can be removed selectively under mild conditions.

On treatment with SmI2 in THF and in the presence of methanol, 2,1,3-benzothiadiazoles underwent reductive N–S bond cleavage leading to 1,2-benzenediamines in high yields. Without methanol but in the presence of triphosgene, benzimidazolin-2-ones were obtained in moderate yields under mild conditions.

An efficient palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of N′-mesyl arylhydrazine with aryl boronic acid is described, which affords the corresponding biaryl compounds in high yields. This transformation proceeds through C–N bond cleavage under mild conditions.

AbstractRing-opening reaction via selective cleavage of C–C bond is known as a powerful strategy for construction of complex molecules. Complementary to the ionic process focusing on mostly small ring systems, radical-mediated C–C bond cleavage offers a solution for further diverse enantioselective functionalization benefited from its mild conditions, whereas such asymmetric transformations are still limited to three-membered rings so far. Herein, we describe radical-mediated ring-opening and enantioselective cyanation of four- and five-membered cycloketone oxime esters to access chiral 1,5- and 1,6-dinitriles. Employment of dual photoredox/copper catalysis is essential for the asymmetric ring-opening cyanation of cyclopentanone oxime esters. Both reactions proceed under mild conditions giving chiral dinitriles in high yields and enantioselectivity with low catalyst loading and broad substrate scope. The products dinitriles can be converted to valuable optically active diamides and diamines. Mechanistic studies indicate that the benzylic radical generated via C–C single bond cleavage is involved in the catalytic cycle.

<p>To mitigate global problems related to energy and global warming, it is helpful to develop an ammonia synthesis process using catalysts that are highly active under mild conditions. Here we show that the ammonia synthesis activity of Ru/Ba/LaCeO<i><sub>x</sub></i> pre-reduced at 700 °C is the highest reported among oxide-supported Ru catalysts. Our results indicate that low crystalline oxygen-deficient composite oxides, which include Ba<sup>2+</sup>, Ce<sup>3+</sup> and La<sup>3+</sup>, with strong electron-donating ability, accumulate on Ru particles and thus promote N≡N bond cleavage, which is the rate determining step for ammonia synthesis.</p>

The highly reactive 1:1 intermediate produced in the reaction between tert-butyl isocyanide and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates is trapped by dialkyl 2-bromomalonates to yield the title compounds in fairly high yields.
