Single electron transfer (SET)-triggered radical ion-based reactions have proven to be powerful options in synthetic organic chemistry. Although unique chain processes have been proposed in various photo- and electrochemical radical ion-based transformations, the turnover number, also referred to as catalytic efficiency, remains unclear in most cases. Herein, we disclose our investigations of radical cation chain processes in the electrocatalytic Diels–Alder reaction, leading to a scalable synthesis. A gram-scale synthesis was achieved with high current efficiency of up to 8000%. The reaction monitoring profiles showed sigmoidal curves with induction periods, suggesting the involvement of intermediate(s) in the rate determining step.

Electron-impact fragmentation of 2-R-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones involves primary losses of CO2 and R; there is also loss of ketene when R is methyl. The ion RCO+ is a major daughter. Successive losses of CO2and RCN yield an ion m/z 76 formulated as dehydrobenzene radical cation. In the case of 2-methyl-4H-3,1-naphth[2,3-d]oxazin-4-one, the 2,3-dehydronaphthalene ion is produced efficiently, and linked scans (B/E) were used to demonstrate that it loses C4H2 ( diacetylene ) in a retro Diels-Alder reaction.

AbstractThe 100-year-old Diels–Alder reaction (DAr) is an atom economic and elegant organic chemistry transformation combining a 1,3-diene and a dienophile in a [4+2] cycloaddition leading to a set of products with several stereo centres and multiple stereoisomers. Stereoselective [4+2] cycloaddition is a challenge. Here, we describe two natural enzymes, PyrI4 and AbnU performing stereospecific intermolecular DAr on non-natural substrates. AbnU catalyses a single exo-stereoisomer by 32-fold higher than the background. PyrI4 catalyses the same stereoisomer (15-fold higher) as a major component (>50%). Structural, biochemical and fluorescence studies indicate that the dienophile enters first into the β-barrel of the enzymes followed by the 1,3-diene, yielding a stereospecific product. However, if some critical interactions are disrupted to increase the catalytic efficiency, stereoselectivity is compromised. Since it is established that natural enzymes can carry out intermolecular DAr on non-natural substrates, several hundreds of Diels-Alderases available in nature could be explored.

The application of electrochemical reactions in natural product synthesis has burgeoned in recent years. We herein report a formal synthesis of the complex and dimeric natural product kingianin A, which employs an electrochemically-mediated radical cation Diels–Alder cycloaddition as the key step.
