Electroreductive 4-Pyridylation of Electron-deficient Alkenes with Assistance of Ni(acac)2
摘要:
An electroreductive 4-pyridylation of activated alkenes was developed in an undivided cell with the assistance of Ni(acac)(2) (acac = acetylacetone). This novel protocol is compatible with a broad range of electron-poor alkenes, which are commonly regarded as challenging substrates in the previous conventional approaches. Moreover, a series of cyclic voltammetric experiments were conducted to reveal the unique role of Ni(acac)(2) differentiating reduction process of reaction partners.

that the pyridine-boryl radical generated in situ using 4-cyanopyridine and bis(pinacolato)diboron could be used as a bifunctional "reagent", which serves as not only a pyridine precursor but also a borylradical. With the unique reactivity of such radicals, 4-substituted pyridine derivatives could be synthesized usingα,β-unsaturated ketones and 4-cyanopyridine via a novel radical addition/C-C coupling
