Project description:We have developed a photochemical ATRA/ATRC reaction that is mediated by halogen bonding interactions. This reaction is caused by the reaction of malonic acid ester derivatives containing bromine or iodine with unsaturated compounds such as alkenes and alkynes in the presence of diisopropylethylamine under visible light irradiation. As a result of various control experiments, it was found that the formation of complexes between amines and halogens by halogen-bonding interaction occurs in the reaction system, followed by the cleavage of the carbon-halogen bonds by visible light, resulting in the formation of carbon radicals. In this reaction, a variety of substrates can be used, and the products, cyclopentenes and cyclopentanes, were obtained by intermolecular addition and intramolecular cyclization.

Project description:The base-induced reaction of aryl diazonium salts with commercially available CF3SO2Na/CF2HSO2Na allows for the generation of the corresponding diazene radicals along with fluoromethyl radicals. The addition of fluoromethyl radicals to alkenes with subsequent diazene trapping provides the azofluoromethylation products in good to excellent yields. This metal-free method under mild reaction conditions has broad functional group compatibility and is applicable in the late-stage modification of various natural products and bioactive molecules.

Project description:Highly regio- and enantioselective intermolecular hydroamination of alkenes is a challenging process potentially leading to valuable chiral amines. Hydroamination of alkenes via metal-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) with good regioselectivity and functional group tolerance has been reported, however, high enantioselectivity has not been achieved due to the lack of suitable ligands. Here we report a ligand-promoted cobalt-catalyzed Markovnikov-type selective radical hydroamination of alkenes with diazo compounds. This operationally simple protocol uses unsymmetric NNN-tridentate (UNT) ligand, readily available alkenes and hydrosilanes to construct hydrazones with good functional group tolerance. The hydrazones can undergo nitrogen-nitrogen bond cleavage smoothly to deliver valuable amine derivatives. Additionally, asymmetric intermolecular hydroamination of unactivated aliphatic terminal alkenes using chiral N-imidazolinylphenyl 8-aminoquinoline (IPAQ) ligands has also been achieved to afford chiral amine derivatives with good enantioselectivities.

Project description:Photochemical reactions employing TiO2 and carboxylic acids under dry anaerobic conditions led to several types of C-C bond-forming processes with electron-deficient alkenes. The efficiency of alkylation varied appreciably with substituents in the carboxylic acids. The reactions of aryloxyacetic acids with maleimides resulted in a cascade process in which a pyrrolochromene derivative accompanied the alkylated succinimide. The selectivity for one or other of these products could be tuned to some extent by employing the photoredox catalyst under different conditions. Aryloxyacetic acids adapted for intramolecular ring closures by inclusion of 2-alkenyl, 2-aryl, or 2-oximinyl functionality reacted rather poorly. Profiles of reactant consumption and product formation for these systems were obtained by an in situ NMR monitoring technique. An array of different catalyst forms were tested for efficiency and ease of use. The proposed mechanism, involving hole capture at the TiO2 surface by the carboxylates followed by CO2 loss, was supported by EPR spectroscopic evidence of the intermediates. Deuterium labeling indicated that the titania likely donates protons from surface hydroxyl groups as well as supplying electrons and holes, thus acting as both a catalyst and a reaction partner.

Project description:The photochemistry of the ethyl radical following excitation to the 3p Rydberg state is investigated in a joint experimental and theoretical study. Velocity map images for hydrogen atoms detected from photoexcited isotopologues CH3CH2, CH3CD2 and CD3CH2 at ?201 nm, are discussed along with high-level ab initio electronic structure calculations of potential energy curves and non-adiabatic coupling matrix elements (NACME). A novel mechanism governed by a conical intersection allowing prompt site-specific hydrogen-atom elimination is presented and discussed. For this mechanism to occur, an initial ro-vibrational excitation is allocated to the radical permitting to access this reaction pathway and thus to control the ethyl photochemistry. While hydrogen-atom elimination from cold ethyl radicals occurs through internal conversion into lower electronic states followed by slow statistical dissociation, prompt site-specific C? elimination into CH3CH + H, occurring through a fast non-adiabatic crossing to a valence bound state followed by dissociation through a conical intersection, is accessed by means of an initial ro-vibrational energy content into the radical. The role of a particularly effective vibrational promoting mode in this prompt photochemical reaction pathway is discussed.

Project description:Two-component Giese type radical additions are highly practical and established reactions. Herein, three-component radical conjugate additions of unactivated alkenes to Michael acceptors are reported. Amidyl radicals, oxidatively generated from ?-amido oxy acids using redox catalysis, act as the third reaction component which add to the unactivated alkenes. The adduct radicals engage in Giese type additions to Michael acceptors to provide, after reduction, the three-component products in an overall alkene carboamination reaction. Transformations which can be conducted under practical mild conditions feature high functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope.

Project description:Photocatalysis is a rapidly evolving area of research in modern organic synthesis. Among the traditional photocatalysts, metal-complexes based on ruthenium or iridium are the most common. Herein, we present the synthesis of two photoactive, ruthenium-based complexes bearing pyridine-quinoline or terpyridine ligands with extended aromatic conjugation. Our complexes were utilized in the atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of haloalkanes to olefins, using bromoacetonitrile or bromotrichloromethane as the source of the alkyl group. The tailor-made ruthenium-based catalyst bearing the pyridine-quinoline bidentate ligand proved to be the best-performing photocatalyst, among a range of metal complexes and organocatalysts, efficiently catalyzing both reactions. These photocatalytic atom transfer protocols can be expanded into a broad scope of olefins. In both protocols, the photocatalytic reactions led to products in good to excellent isolated yields.

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.

Project description:Many of the radical-molecule reactions are nonelementary reactions with negative activation energies, which usually proceed through two steps. They exist extensively in the atmospheric chemistry and hydrocarbon fuel combustion, so they are extensively studied both theoretically and experimentally. At the same time, various models, such as a two transition state model, a steady-state model, an equilibrium-state model, and a direct elementary dynamics model are proposed to get the kinetic parameters for the overall reaction. In this paper, a conversion temperature T C1 is defined as the temperature at which the standard molar Gibbs free energy change of the formation of the reaction complex is equal to zero, and it is found that when T ? T C1, the direct elementary dynamics model with an inclusion of the tunneling correction of the second step reaction is applicable to calculate the overall reaction rate constants for this kind of reaction system. The reaction class of hydroxyl radical addition to alkenes is chosen as the objects of this study, five reactions are chosen as the representative for the reaction class, and their single-point energies are calculated using the method of CCSD(T)/CBS, and it is shown that the highest conversion temperature for the five reactions is 139.89 K, far below the usual initial low-temperature (550 K) oxidation chemistry of hydrocarbon fuels; therefore, the steady-state approximation method is applicable. All geometry optimizations are performed at the BH&HLYP/6-311+G(d,p) level, and the result shows that the geometric parameters in the reaction centers are conserved; hence, the isodesmic reaction method is applicable to this reaction class. To validate the accuracy of this scheme, a comparison of electronic energy difference at the BH&HLYP/6-311+G(d,p) level and the corrected electronic energy difference with the electronic energy difference at the CCSD(T)/CBS level is performed for the five representative reactions, and it is shown that the maximum absolute deviation of electronic energy difference can be reduced from 2.54 kcal·mol-1 before correction to 0.58 kcal·mol-1 after correction, indicating that the isodesmic reaction method is applicable for the accurate calculation of the kinetic parameters for large-size molecular systems with a negative activation energy reaction. The overall rate constants for 44 reactions of the reaction class of hydroxyl radical addition to alkenes are calculated using the transition-state theory in combination with the isodesmic correction scheme, and high-pressure limit rate rules for the reaction class are developed. In addition, the thermodynamic parameter is calculated and the results indicate that our dynamics model is applicable for our studied reaction class. A chemical kinetic modeling and sensitivity analysis using the calculated kinetic data is performed for the combustion of ethene, and the results indicate the studied reaction is important for the low-to-medium temperature combustion modeling of ethene.

Project description:Metal and catalyst-free carbohydroxylations and carboetherifications at room temperature have been achieved by a combination of beneficial factors including high aryl diazonium concentration and visible light irradiation. The acceleration of the reaction by visible light irradiation is particularly remarkable against the background that neither the aryldiazonium salt nor the alkene show absorptions in the respective range of wavelength. These observations point to weak charge transfer interactions between diazonium salt and alkene, which are nevertheless able to considerably influence the reaction course. As highly promising perspective, many more aryldiazonium-based radical arylations might benefit from simple light irradiation without requiring a photocatalyst or particular additive.
