Visible-Light-Promoted C-S Cross-Coupling via Intermolecular Charge Transfer.

ABSTRACT: Disclosed is a mild, scalable, visible-light-promoted cross-coupling reaction between thiols and aryl halides for the construction of C-S bonds in the absence of both transition metal and photoredox catalysts. The scope of aryl halides and thiol partners includes over 60 examples and therefore provides an entry point into various aryl thioether building blocks of pharmaceutical interest. Furthermore, to demonstrate its utility, this C-S coupling protocol was applied in drug synthesis and late-stage modifications of active pharmaceutical ingredients. UV-vis spectroscopy and time-dependent density functional theory calculations suggest that visible-light-promoted intermolecular charge transfer within the thiolate-aryl halide electron donor-acceptor complex permits the reactivity in the absence of catalyst.

Visible Light-Promoted Oxidative Cross-Coupling of Alcohols to Esters.

Project description:Ester is one of the most significant functional groups in organic chemistry and is enclosed in several valued molecules. Usually, esters are prepared through the acid-catalyzed esterification reaction of carboxylic acids with alcohols, transesterification of esters with alcohols, or via activation of carboxylic acids followed by the addition of alcohols. However, these procedures typically imply the excess use of reactants and harsh reaction conditions. Visible light-mediated photoreactions have been disclosed to display a safe, sustainable, and accessible alternative to traditional methods, and to lead new reactivity modes in organic procedures. In this context, we propose a transition metal-based and organic-based photocatalyst-free synthesis of esters from alcohols induced by visible light. The methodology can be carried out using sunlight or artificial visible light as a solar simulator or a blue LED source.

Metal-free, intermolecular carbopyridylation of alkenes via visible-light-induced reductive radical coupling.

Project description:An efficient, metal-free strategy for the intermolecular three-component carbopyridylation of styrenes, enabled by Hantzsch ester and visible light, has been described. This versatile protocol gives access to important β-CF3 pyridines, through the regioselective, sequential formation of two C-C bonds without the use of exogenous catalysts. The value of this benign protocol has been demonstrated through functionalizations of natural-product- and drug-based complex molecules.

Photoinduced Acylations Via Azolium-Promoted Intermolecular Hydrogen Atom Transfer.

Project description:Photoinduced hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) has been developed as a powerful tool to generate synthetically valuable radical species. The direct photoexcitation of ketones has been known to promote HAT or to generate acyl radicals through Norrish-type pathways, but these modalities remain severely limited by radical side reactions. We report herein a catalyst- and transition metal-free method for the acylation of C-H bonds that leverages the unique properties of stable, isolable acyl azolium species. Specifically, acyl azolium salts are shown to undergo an intermolecular and regioselective HAT upon LED irradiation with a range of substrates bearing active C-H bonds followed by C-C bond formation to afford ketones. Experimental and computational studies support photoexcitation of the acyl azolium followed by facile intersystem crossing to access triplet diradical species that promote selective HAT and radical-radical cross-coupling.

Deciphering charge transfer dynamics of a lead halide perovskite-nickel(ii) complex for visible light photoredox C-N coupling.

Project description:Photoredox catalysis involving perovskite quantum dots (QDs) has gained enormous attention because of their high efficiency and selectivity. In this study, we have demonstrated CsPbBr3 QDs as photocatalysts for the C-N bond formation reaction. The introduction of Ni(dmgH)2 (dmgH = dimethyl glyoximato) as a cocatalyst with CsPbBr3 QDs facilitates photocatalytic C-N coupling to form a wide variety of amides. The optimized interaction between the cocatalyst and photocatalyst enhances charge transfer and mitigates charge recombination, ultimately boosting photocatalytic performance. The photocatalytic activity is notably influenced by the variation in the amount of cocatalyst and 7 wt% Ni(dmgH)2 produces the best yield (92%) of amide. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy reveals that the dynamics of the trap states of QDs are affected by cocatalyst. Further, Ni(dmgH)2 facilitates molecular oxygen activation to form superoxide radicals, which further initiates the radical pathway for the C-N coupling.

Symmetry-Breaking Charge Transfer of Visible Light Absorbing Systems: Zinc Dipyrrins.

Project description:Zinc dipyrrin complexes with two identical dipyrrin ligands absorb strongly at 450-550 nm and exhibit high fluorescence quantum yields in nonpolar solvents (e.g., 0.16-0.66 in cyclohexane) and weak to nonexistent emission in polar solvents (i.e., <10-3, in acetonitrile). The low quantum efficiencies in polar solvents are attributed to the formation of a nonemissive symmetry-breaking charge transfer (SBCT) state, which is not formed in nonpolar solvents. Analysis using ultrafast spectroscopy shows that in polar solvents the singlet excited state relaxes to the SBCT state in 1.0-5.5 ps and then decays via recombination to the triplet or ground states in 0.9-3.3 ns. In the weakly polar solvent toluene, the equilibrium between a localized excited state and the charge transfer state is established in 11-22 ps.

Light-Driven Intermolecular Charge Transfer Induced Reactivity of Ethynylbenziodoxol(on)e and Phenols.

Project description:Ethynylbenziodoxol(on)es (EBXs) have been widely used in organic synthesis as electrophilic alkyne-transfer reagents involving carbon- and heteroatom-based nucleophiles. However, potential reactions of EBXs with phenols remain uninvestigated. Here, we present the formation of ( Z)-2-iodovinyl phenyl ethers with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity through the reactivity between EBXs and phenols driven by visible light. We propose that this light-activated transformation proceeds through electron donor-acceptor complexes to enable new reactivity beyond existing mechanisms for alkynylation of carbon- and heteroatom-based nucleophiles. This operationally robust process was employed for the synthesis of diverse ( Z)-2-iodovinyl phenyl ethers through irradiating a solution containing a phenyl-EBX, a phenol, and the base Cs2CO3 with a commercially available blue LED at room temperature. The ( Z)-2-iodovinyl phenyl ether products can be further stereospecifically functionalized to form trisubstituted alkenes, demonstrating the potential of these products en route to chemical complexity.

Dual gold and photoredox catalysis: visible light-mediated intermolecular atom transfer thiosulfonylation of alkenes.

Project description:Regioselective difunctionalization of alkenes has attracted significant attention from synthetic chemists and has the advantage of introducing diverse functional groups into vicinal carbons of common alkene moieties in a single operation. Herein, we report an unprecedented intermolecular atom transfer thiosulfonylation reaction of alkenes by combining gold catalysis and visible-light photoredox catalysis. A trifluoromethylthio group (SCF3) and other functionalized thio groups together with a sulfonyl group were regioselectively introduced into alkenes in the most atom economical manner. A detailed mechanism study indicated that a synergistic combination of gold catalysis and photoredox catalysis is crucial for this reaction.

Visible-Light-Promoted Iron-Catalyzed C(sp2 )-C(sp3 ) Kumada Cross-Coupling in Flow.

Project description:A continuous-flow, visible-light-promoted method has been developed to overcome the limitations of iron-catalyzed Kumada-Corriu cross-coupling reactions. A variety of strongly electron rich aryl chlorides, previously hardly reactive, could be efficiently coupled with aliphatic Grignard reagents at room temperature in high yields and within a few minutes' residence time, considerably enhancing the applicability of this iron-catalyzed reaction. The robustness of this protocol was demonstrated on a multigram scale, thus providing the potential for future pharmaceutical application.

Crossed intermolecular [2+2] cycloadditions of acyclic enones via visible light photocatalysis.

Project description:Efficient [2+2] heterodimerizations of dissimilar acyclic enones can be accomplished upon visible light irradiation in the presence of a ruthenium(II) photocatalyst. Similar cycloadditions under standard UV photolysis conditions are inefficient and unselective. Nevertheless, a diverse range of unsymmetrical tri- and tetrasubstituted cyclobutane structures can be produced in good yields and excellent diastereoselectivities using this new method. The reaction is promoted by any visible light source, and efficient, gram-scale cycloadditions can be conducted upon irradiating with ambient sunlight.

Decarboxylative cross-nucleophile coupling via ligand-to-metal charge transfer photoexcitation of Cu(II) carboxylates.

Project description:Reactions that enable carbon-nitrogen, carbon-oxygen and carbon-carbon bond formation lie at the heart of synthetic chemistry. However, substrate prefunctionalization is often needed to effect such transformations without forcing reaction conditions. The development of direct coupling methods for abundant feedstock chemicals is therefore highly desirable for the rapid construction of complex molecular scaffolds. Here we report a copper-mediated, net-oxidative decarboxylative coupling of carboxylic acids with diverse nucleophiles under visible-light irradiation. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the relevant chromophore in this reaction is a Cu(II) carboxylate species assembled in situ. We propose that visible-light excitation to a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) state results in a radical decarboxylation process that initiates the oxidative cross-coupling. The reaction is applicable to a wide variety of coupling partners, including complex drug molecules, suggesting that this strategy for cross-nucleophile coupling would facilitate rapid compound library synthesis for the discovery of new pharmaceutical agents.
