Catalyticenantioselective chemical reactions involving highly reactive radical species remain largely unexplored. We report herein for the first time a novel enantioselective radical ring-opening cyanation of redox-active oxime esters by dual photoreodox and copper catalysis. This mild protocol shows good functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope, producing a wide range of optically active
Silver-mediated oxidative C–C bond sulfonylation/arylation of methylenecyclopropanes with sodium sulfinates: facile access to 3-sulfonyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes
sulfonylation/arylation of a C–C σ-bond in methylenecyclopropanes with sodium sulfinates to synthesize various 3-sulfonylated 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes is reported. This sulfonylation/arylation transformation proceeds via a sequence of sulfonylation, C–C σ-bond cleavage and intramolecular cyclization, and the experimental results show that the C–C σ-bond difunctionalization reaction includes a radical process. This
Without using any transitionmetal and base, an eco‐friendly, practical and economical protocol has been established for the one‐potsynthesis of diverse (E)‐1‐phenyl‐4‐sulfonylbut‐1‐enes from easily accessible starting materials. This strategy features a wide substrate scope, tolerates a broad range of functional groups, employs a less expensive oxidant, is operationally simple, and can be easily scaled‐up
A novel and efficient AgNO3-facilitated oxidative C–C σ-bond difunctionalization of alkylidenecyclopropanes with α-ketoacids for preparing 2-acyl-substituted 3,4-dihydronaphthalenes is developed. This radical acylation/arylation transformation proceeds via decarboxylation of the α-ketoacid, acylation of the carbon–carbon double bond, cleavage of the carbon–carbon σ-bond, and cyclization with a connected
Visible-Light-Catalyzed C–C Bond Difunctionalization of Methylenecyclopropanes with Sulfonyl Chlorides for the Synthesis of 3-Sulfonyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes
A novel visible-light-catalyzed sulfonylation/arylation of carbon–carbon σ-bond with sulfonyl chlorides for the synthesis of 3-sulfonylated 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes is developed. This difunctionalization proceeds via a sequence of C═C bond sulfonylation, C–C σ-bond cleavage, and intramolecular cyclization, and the experiment result shows that the C–C σ-bond difunctionalization reaction includes a radical
