Construction of sterically congested oxindole derivatives via visible-light-induced radical-coupling.

ABSTRACT: The oxindole scaffold represents an important structural feature in many natural products and pharmaceutically relevant molecules. Herein, we report a visible-light-induced modular methodology for the synthesis of complex 3,3'-disubstituted oxindole derivatives. A library of valuable fluoroalkyl-containing highly sterically congested oxindole derivatives can be synthesized by a catalytic three-component radical coupling reaction under mild conditions (metal & photocatalyst free, >80 examples). This strategy shows high functional group tolerance and broad substrate compatibility (including a wide variety of terminal or non-terminal alkenes, conjugated dienes and enynes, and a broad array of polyfluoroalkyl iodide and oxindoles), which enables modular modification of complex drug-like compounds in one chemical step. The success of solar-driven transformation, large-scale synthesis, and the late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules, as well as promising tumor-suppressing biological activities, highlights the potential for practical applications of this strategy. Mechanistic investigations, including a series of control experiments, UV-vis spectroscopy and DFT calculations, suggest that the reaction underwent a sequential two-step radical-coupling process and the photosensitive perfluoroalkyl benzyl iodides are key intermediates in the transformation.

Synthesis of aryl sulfides via radical-radical cross coupling of electron-rich arenes using visible light photoredox catalysis.

Project description:Electron-rich arenes react with aryl and alkyl disulfides in the presence of catalytic amounts of [Ir(dF(CF3)ppy)2(dtbpy)]PF6 and (NH4)2S2O8 under blue light irradiation to yield arylthiols. The reaction proceeds at room temperature and avoids the use of prefunctionalized arenes. Experimental evidence suggests a radical-radical cross coupling mechanism.

Metal-free, intermolecular carbopyridylation of alkenes <i>via</i> 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 ?-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.

Visible-Light-Driven Tunable Molecular Motors Based on Oxindole.

Project description:Molecular rotary motors based on oxindole which can be driven by visible light are presented. This novel class of motors can be easily synthesized via a Knoevenagel condensation, and the choice of different upper halves allows for the facile tuning of their rotational speed. The four-step rotational cycle was explored using DFT calculations, and the expected photochemical and thermal isomerization behavior was confirmed by NMR, UV/vis, and CD spectroscopy. These oxindole motors offer attractive prospects for functional materials responsive to light.

Crystal structures of three sterically congested disilanes.

Project description:In the three sterically congested silanes, C24H38Si2 (1) (1,1,2,2-tetra-isopropyl-1,2-di-phenyl-disilane), C24H34Br4Si2 (2) [1,1,2,2-tetra-kis-(2-bromo-propan-2-yl)-1,2-di-phenyl-disilane] and C32H38Si2 (3) (1,2-di-tert-butyl-1,1,2,2-tetra-phenyl-disilane), the Si-Si bond length is shortest in (1) and longest in (2), with (3) having an inter-mediate value, which parallels the increasing steric congestion. A comparison of the two isopropyl derivatives, (1 and 2), shows a significant increase in the Si-C(ipso) distance with the introduction of bromine. Also, in the brominated compound 2, attractive inter-molecular Br⋯Br inter-actions exist with Br⋯Br separations ca 0.52 Å shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii. In compound 2, one of the bromo-isopropyl groups is rotationally disordered in an 0.8812 (9):0.1188 (9) ratio. Compound 3 exhibits 'whole mol-ecule' disorder in a 0.9645 (7):0.0355 (7) ratio with the Si-Si bonds in the two components making an angle of ca 66°.

Direct Access to α-Aminosilanes Enabled by Visible-Light-Mediated Multicomponent Radical Cross-Coupling.

Project description:α-Aminosilanes are an important class of organic compounds that show biological activity. In this communication, a new approach to α-aminosilanes that utilizes photoredox catalysis to enable three-component coupling of organo(tristrimethylsilyl)silanes with feedstock alkylamines and aldehydes is presented. A wide range of highly functionalized α-aminosilanes can be obtained in good yields under mild conditions. Both primary amines and secondary amines are compatible with this transformation. Moreover, optically pure α-aminosilanes are accessible by using chiral amines. Mechanistic studies indicate that reactions proceed through radical/radical cross-coupling of silyl radicals with α-amino alkyl radicals.

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

Project description: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.

Umpolung Difunctionalization of Carbonyls via Visible-Light Photoredox Catalytic Radical-Carbanion Relay.

Project description:The combination of photoredox catalysis with the Wolff-Kishner (WK) reaction allows the difunctionalization of carbonyl groups by a radical-carbanion relay sequence (photo-Wolff-Kishner reaction). Photoredox initiated radical addition to N-sulfonylhydrazones yields ?-functionalized carbanions following the WK-type mechanism. With sulfur-centered radicals, the carbanions are further functionalized by reaction with electrophiles including CO2 and aldehydes, whereas CF3 radical addition furnishes a wide range of gem-difluoroalkenes through ?-fluoride elimination of the generated ?-CF3 carbanions. More than 80 substrate examples demonstrate the broad applicability of this reaction sequence. A series of investigations including radical inhibition, deuterium labeling, fluorescence quenching, cyclic voltammetry, and control experiments support the proposed radical-carbanion relay mechanism.

Visible-Light-Curable Solvent-Free Acrylic Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives via Photoredox-Mediated Radical Polymerization.

Project description:Owing to their excellent properties, such as transparency, resistance to oxidation, and high adhesivity, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are widely used. Recently, solvent-free acrylic PSAs, which are typically prepared via photopolymerization, have attracted increasing attention because of the current strict environmental regulations. UV light is commonly used as an excitation source for photopolymerization, whereas visible light, which is safer for humans, is rarely utilized. In this study, we prepared solvent-free acrylic PSAs via visible light-driven photoredox-mediated radical polymerization. Three α-haloesters were used as additives to overcome critical shortcomings, such as the previously reported low film curing rate and poor transparency observed during additive-free photocatalytic polymerization. The film curing rate was greatly increased in the presence of α-haloesters, which lowered the photocatalyst loadings and, hence, improved the film transparency. These results confirmed that our method could be widely used to prepare general-purpose solvent-free PSAs-in particular, optically clear adhesives for electronics.

Radical difluoromethylthiolation of aromatics enabled by visible light.

Project description:Direct introduction of a difluoromethylthio group (-SCF2H) to arenes represents an efficient route to access a valuable catalogue of organofluorines; however, to realize this transformation under metal-free and mild conditions still remains challenging and rarely reported. Herein, a metal-catalyst-free and redox-neutral innate difluoromethylthiolation method with a shelf-stable and readily available reagent, PhSO2SCF2H, under visible light irradiation is described. This light-mediated protocol successfully converts a broad spectrum of arenes and heteroarenes to difluoromethylthioethers in the absence of noble metals and stoichiometric amounts of additives.

Radical cation Diels-Alder cycloadditions by visible light photocatalysis.

Project description:Ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes promote the efficient radical cation Diels-Alder cycloaddition of electron-rich dienophiles upon irradiation with visible light. These reactions enable facile [4 + 2] cycloadditions that would be electronically mismatched under thermal conditions. Key to the success of this methodology is the availability of ligand-modified ruthenium complexes that enable rational tuning of the electrochemical properties of the catalyst without significantly perturbing the overall photophysical properties of the system.
