An iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of (alkyl)(aryl)azinylmethanes has been developed leading to tertiary alcohols in moderate to good yields. Hock rearrangement was identified as a major side reaction leading to a complex mixture of undesired products. Addition of thiourea sometimes allows inhibiting this side reaction and steers the reaction towards the desired products.
Aromatic electrophilic substitution of aromatic/electron rich heteroaromatic compounds with AlBr3 activated aldehydes/ketone to afford pyridyl aryl/heteroaryl or diaryl carbinols is described. The strong electron donating group dictates the regiochemical outcome of the product.
Photoinduced generation of phosphoranyl radicals offers a versatile strategy to access a variety of synthetically valuable radicals. A long-standing challenge remains in the regulation of phosphoranyl radical to undergo α-scission pathway, although the β-scission mode has been intensively studied. We herein developed an unprecedented protocol for selective α-scission of the P(OH)R3 radical intermediate

Efficient and selective rhodium-catalyzed cyanation of chelation-assisted C-H bonds of alkenes has been accomplished using environmentally benign N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-methylbenzenesulfonamide (NCTS) as a cyanating reagent. The developed methodology tolerates various functional groups and allows the synthesis of diverse substituted acrylonitriles in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the potential of the methodology was demonstrated through the formal synthesis of chlorpheniramine-based antagonist.
