RESUMO
Cobalt-catalyzed metal hydride hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) in combination with photoredox catalysis has emerged as a powerful synthetic method, owing to its redox nature and applicability to various radical precursors. Herein, we describe a cross-radical coupling reaction under cobalt/photoredox dual catalysis. MHAT and homolytic substitution (SH2) processes enabled Markovnikov-selective hydrobenzylation of di/trisubstituted alkenes, affording products with a quaternary carbon center in a redox-neutral manner.
RESUMO
Sulfondiimines are diaza-analogues of sulfones with a chiral sulfur center. Compared to sulfones and sulfoximines, their synthesis and transformations have so far been studied to a lesser extent. Here, we report the enantioselective synthesis of 1,2-benzothiazine 1-imines, i.e., cyclic sulfondiimine derivatives from sulfondiimines and sulfoxonium ylides via C-H alkylation/cyclization reactions. The combination of [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2 ]2 and a newly developed chiral spiro carboxylic acid is key to achieving high enantioselectivity.
RESUMO
A chiral paddle-wheel dinuclear ruthenium catalyst was applied to a catalytic asymmetric nitrene-transfer reaction with enol silyl ethers. The ruthenium catalyst was applicable to aliphatic enol silyl ethers as well as aryl-containing enol silyl ethers. The substrate scope of the ruthenium catalyst was superior to that of analogous chiral paddle-wheel rhodium catalysts. α-Amino ketones derived from aliphatic substrates were obtained in up to 97% ee with the ruthenium catalyst, while analogous rhodium catalysts resulted in only moderate enantioselectivity.
RESUMO
We report that the dearomative [4 + 2] cycloaddition between 1,2-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-diones (TETRADs) and benzenes, naphthalenes, or N-heteroaromatic compounds under visible light irradiation affords the corresponding isolable cycloadducts. Several synthetic transformations including transition-metal-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions using the isolated cycloadducts at room temperature or above were demonstrated. Computational studies revealed that the retro-cycloaddition of the benzene-TETRAD adduct proceeds via an asynchronous concerted mechanism, while that of the benzene-MTAD adduct (MTAD = 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione) proceeds via a synchronous mechanism.
RESUMO
M-HAT isomerization is a highly reliable method to access thermodynamically stable alkenes with high functional group tolerance. However, synthesis of heteroatom-substituted alkenes by M-HAT isomerization reaction is still underdeveloped. Herein, we report an enamide synthesis using M-HAT via a combination of cobalt and photoredox catalysis. This method tolerates a variety of functional groups including haloarenes, heteroarenes, free hydroxy groups, non-protected indoles, and drug derivatives. Furthermore, this method can isomerize styrene derivatives in good yield and E/Z selectivity.
RESUMO
The synthesis, characterization, and catalytic performance of an iridium(III) catalyst with an electron-deficient cyclopentadienyl ligand ([CpE IrI2 ]2 ) are reported. The [CpE IrI2 ]2 catalyst was synthesized by complexation of a precursor of the CpE ligand with [Ir(cod)OAc]2 , followed by oxidation, desilylation, and removal of the COD ligand. The electron-deficient [CpE IrI2 ]2 catalyst enabled C-H amidation reactions assisted by a weakly coordinating ether directing group. Experimental mechanistic studies and DFT calculations suggested that the high catalytic performance of [CpE IrI2 ]2 is due to its electron-deficient nature, which accelerates both C-H activation and IrV -nitrenoid formation.
RESUMO
Metallaphotoredox-catalyzed allylation represents an emerging synthetic methodology that enables allylic substitution using nucleophilic radical species. The C-H allylation of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines is an innovative example in this area and allows access to synthetically useful precursors for the further derivatization of tetrahydroisoquinolines. However, previous methods have required the use of noble metals, which has hampered their application due to concerns over their sustainability. Here we report the C-H allylation of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines using a cobalt/organophotoredox dual catalyst system. Based on precedent, control experiments and controlled irradiation experiments, a mechanism for the cobalt/photoredox-catalyzed allylation that involves a π-allyl cobalt complex is proposed.

Due to its mild reaction conditions and unique chemoselectivity, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) hydrogenation represents an indispensable method for the synthesis of complex molecules. Its analog using deuterium, deuterium atom transfer (DAT) deuteration, is expected to enable access to complex deuterium-labeled compounds. However, DAT deuteration has been scarcely studied for synthetic purposes, and a method that possesses the favorable characteristics of HAT hydrogenations has remained elusive. Herein, we report a protocol for the photocatalytic DAT deuteration of electron-deficient alkenes. In contrast to the previous DAT deuteration, this method tolerates a variety of synthetically useful functional groups including haloarenes. The late-stage deuteration also allows access to deuterated amino acids as well as donepezil-d2 . Thus, this work demonstrates the potential of DAT chemistry to become the alternative method of choice for preparing deuterium-containing molecules.

Trivalent group-9 metal catalysts with a cyclopentadienyl-type ligand (CpMIII ; M=Co, Rh, Ir, Cp=cyclopentadienyl) have been widely used for directed C-H functionalizations, albeit that their application to challenging C(sp3 )-H functionalizations suffers from the limitations of the available directing groups. In this report, we describe directed C(sp3 )-H amidation reactions of simple amide substrates with a variety of substituents. The combination of an electron-deficient CpE Rh catalyst (CpE =1,3-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-substituted Cp) and an electron-deficient 2-pyridone ligand is essential for high reactivity.
RESUMO
Photosensitization of organometallics is a privileged strategy that enables challenging transformations in transition-metal catalysis. However, the usefulness of such photocatalyst-induced energy transfer has remained opaque in iron-catalyzed reactions despite the intriguing prospects of iron catalysis in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we demonstrate the use of iron/photosensitizer-cocatalyzed cycloaddition to synthesize polyarylpyridines and azafluoranthenes, which have been scarcely accessible using the established iron-catalyzed protocols. Mechanistic studies indicate that triplet energy transfer from the photocatalyst to a ferracyclic intermediate facilitates the thermally demanding nitrile insertion and accounts for the distinct reactivity of the hybrid system. This study thus provides the first demonstration of the role of photosensitization in overcoming the limitations of iron catalysis.

Among sulfoximine derivatives containing a chiral sulfur center, benzothiadiazine-1-oxides are important for applications in medicinal chemistry. Here, we report that the combination of an achiral cobalt(III) catalyst and a pseudo-C2 -symmetric H8 -binaphthyl chiral carboxylic acid enables the asymmetric synthesis of benzothiadiazine-1-oxides from sulfoximines and dioxazolones via enantioselective C-H bond cleavage. With the optimized protocol, benzothiadiazine-1-oxides with several functional groups can be accessed with high enantioselectivity.

An enantioselective [4+3] cyclization via C(sp2)-H activation with a cooperative catalytic system consisting of a Cp*Rh(III) complex and a chiral Lewis base is described. An α,ß-unsaturated acyl ammonium intermediate is generated from a chiral isochalcogenurea catalyst and an acyl fluoride reacts with a metallacycle generated from the Cp*Rh catalyst and a benzylamine derivative. This cooperative catalytic system gives a variety of benzolactams in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99:1 er). The results demonstrated that chiral Lewis base catalysis is a powerful tool for controlling the enantioselectivity of transition metal-catalyzed C-H functionalizations.

Intramolecular hydroarylation of alkenes through hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) represents a robust method to prepare benzo-fused heterocycles. However, the reported methods have limitations in a variety of accessible cyclic scaffolds. Here we report a dual cobalt- and photoredox-catalyzed HAT hydroarylation of alkenes that is characterized by higher efficiency in the synthesis of a δ-lactam compared to established protocols. The proposed mechanism is supported by experiments and DFT calculations.

Despite the rapid progress in C-C bond-forming reactions using Katritzky salts, their deaminative allylation remains a challenge. Inspired by the metallaphotoredox-catalyzed allylic substitution regime, here, we report the deaminative allylation of Katritzky salts via cobalt/organophotoredox dual catalysis. This cross-electrophile coupling enables regioselective allylation using a variety of allylic esters, overcoming the substrate limitations of reported protocols. Mechanistic studies indicate the involvement of a π-allyl cobalt complex as a radicalophile that mediates C-C bond formation.

Dynamic covalent bonds are useful tools in a wide range of applications. Although various reversible chemical reactions have been studied for this purpose, the requirement for harsh conditions, such as high temperature and low or high pH, to activate generally stable covalent bonds limits their potential applications involving biomolecules or household utilization. Here, we report the design, synthesis, characterization, and dynamic covalent bonding properties of 1,2-disubstituted 1,2-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dione (TETRAD). Hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of TETRAD with furan derivatives and their retro-reactions proceeded rapidly at room temperature under neutral conditions, enabling a chemically induced sol-gel transition system.
RESUMO
The C-H bond addition reaction of 2-phenylpyridine derivatives with α,ß-unsaturated carboxylic acids catalyzed by Cp*Rh(III)/BH3·SMe2 is reported. Activation of C-H bonds with the rhodium catalyst and activation of α,ß-unsaturated carboxylic acids with the boron catalyst cooperatively work, and a BINOL-urea hybrid ligand significantly improved the reactivity. With the optimized hybrid catalytic system, various ß-disubstituted carboxylic acids were obtained under mild reaction conditions.
RESUMO

RESUMO
Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) hydrogenation has recently emerged as an indispensable method for the chemoselective reduction of unactivated alkenes. However, the hitherto reported systems basically require stoichiometric amounts of silanes and peroxides, which prevents wider applications, especially with respect to sustainability and safety concerns. Herein, we report a silane- and peroxide-free HAT hydrogenation using a combined cobalt/photoredox catalysis and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as a sole stoichiometric reactant. A cobalt salophen complex is identified as the optimal cocatalyst for this environmentally benign HAT hydrogenation in aqueous media, which exhibits high functional-group tolerance. In addition to its applicability in the late-stage hydrogenation of amino-acid derivatives and drug molecules, this method offers unique advantage in direct transformation of unprotected sugar derivatives and allows the HAT hydrogenation of unprotected C-glycoside in higher yield compared to previously reported HAT hydrogenation protocols. The proposed mechanism is supported by experimental and theoretical studies.
RESUMO
Organosilanes are synthetically useful reagents and precursors in organic chemistry. However, the typical inertness of unactivated Si-C(sp3) bonds under conventional reaction conditions has hampered the application of simple tetraalkylsilanes in organic synthesis. Herein we report the chemoselective cleavage of Si-C(sp3) bonds of unactivated tetraalkylsilanes using iodine tris(trifluoroacetate). The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions (-50 °C to room temperature) and tolerates various polar functional groups, thus enabling subsequent Tamao-Fleming oxidation to provide the corresponding alcohols. NMR experiments and density functional theory calculations on the reaction indicate that the transfer of alkyl groups from Si to the I(III) center and the formation of the Si-O bond proceed concertedly to afford an alkyl-λ3-iodane and silyl trifluoroacetate. The developed method enables the use of unactivated tetraalkylsilanes as highly stable synthetic precursors.
RESUMO
The enantioselective C-H alkylation of 8-ethylquinolines with enones or acrolein using a RhIII catalyst and a chiral carboxylic acid is described. Under mild reaction conditions, a binaphthyl-based chiral carboxylic acid enables the enantioselective cleavage of the 8-ethylquinoline C(sp3)-H bond. The obtained results demonstrate the utility of the combination of a high-valent group 9 metal catalyst and a chiral carboxylic acid for the enantioselective C(sp3)-H activation and the subsequent C-C bond formation.
