However, a unified methodology to achieve oxy-, thio-, and seleno-trifluoromethylation remains elusive yet highly desirable. In this study, we report a triarylamine-catalyzed three-component vicinal chalcogen-trifluoromethylation of alkenes under blue light irradiation without the need of transition metal catalyst. This reaction is broadly applicable to oxy, thio, and seleno nucleophiles, facilitating modular access to a diverse array of β-trifluoromethyl alcohols, ethers, thioethers, thiocyanates, and selenocyanates with good yields and predictable regioselectivities (61 examples). Additionally, we demonstrate its application in the late-stage modification of natural products and pharmaceutical compounds. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that a catalytic electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex between triarylamine and the Umemoto reagent is key to enabling the radical/polar crossover process.展开更多

The difunctionalization reaction is achieved by different reagents. Radicals such as carbon(sp3), carbon(sp2), and other heteroatom(P, S, N, Se, O, and halide) radicals initiated by visible light can undergo radical addition to a carbon-carbon triple bond. Upon further transformation, the desired difunctionalized products are obtained. Some organometallic complexes can be activated by visible light;the difunctionalization of alkynes is catalyzed by these species. Other reagents like 1,3-dipole precursors could also react with alkynes to give difunctionalization products;here, the 1,3-dipole derivatives are obtained by visible light photocatalysis. So far, the strategy has been succeeded in the formation of C–C bonds and C–X bonds. Several valuable chemical skeletons have been constructed under mild conditions. However, high regio-and stereoselectivities in some direct difunctionalization methodologies are yet to be achieved.展开更多

文摘An NHC organocatalytic radical aminoacylation of alkenes has been developed by using aldehydes as the acylating reagents and activated aryloxy-amides as the N-radical precursors,providing a new platform for modular access to highly functionalizedβ-aminoketones.The key to the success of this reaction relies on the single electron transfer(SET)event between the enolates of Breslow intermediates and carefully screened N-radical precursors,followed by a radical addition and radical-radical coupling relay process.The protocol features simple and readily available materials(abundant and feed-stock aldehydes and alkenes),mild reaction conditions(metal-,photo-and oxidant-free,in EA at room temperature),easily removable protecting group for late-stage functionalization.
文摘Comprehensive Summary:A practical photocatalytic annulation-biselenylation strategy has been developed for the efficient synthesis of biselenium-substituted 1-indanones(38 examples in total)with generally good yields(up to 95%)and excellent stereoselectivity(>19:1 Z/E ratio)by employing enynones and diaryl selenides as starting materials under photosensitizer-free conditions.The reaction mechanism involves a cascade process comprising homolytic cleavage,radical addition,5-exo-dig cyclization,and radical capture,enabling sequential formation of multiple bonds,such as C(sp3)-Se,C(sp3)-C(sp2),and C(sp2)-Se bonds,to rapidly construct molecular complexity.Notably,this approach demonstrates wide substrate compatibility and excellent tolerability towards various functional groups.It is further characterized by its remarkable efficiency in creating chemical bonds and achieving high atomic utilization of 100%.

文摘α-Olefins as aliphatic terminal alkenes could be obtained easily from numerous contemporary synthetic reactions as well as petro-chemical industry,and also found in natural products.Compared to the alkenes attaching the directing groups or activating group,the catalytic asymmetric reaction of unactivated terminal alkenes presents great challenges due to the weak electron effect and small steric hindrance effect.This review mainly summarizes the latest progress of the asymmetric reaction of unactivated terminal olefins since 2016.
