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

Bond dissociating energy and stability energy of complexes are chosen to study detailedly thermodynamic character of possible difunctional adducts model. In order to investigate the influence of a polarizable environment on the energy of the Pt-L bond formation, we adopt a new bonding energy formula brought forward by Lippard and his coworkers： △H（Sol） = △H（SCF） ＋ △G（Solv）, which is quite appropriate to compare with what is found in experimental studies. Our calculated results demonstrate that N-containing ligands are more favored in view of thermodynamics both in gas phrase and in solution. However, it is worthly to be noted that addition of solvation free energies result in moderate correction of bonding energy in relative ordering, and the largest ones both present in imidazole ligand, not in guanine ligand. Finally, the nature of bond is analyzed in terms of partial charges distribution based on NBO population.展开更多

In this field, the intermolecular regiodivergent 1,2-difunctionalization of alkenes with two electrophiles is still a challenging task. A ligand-controlled, nickel-catalyzed regiodivergent dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes using both aryl/vinyl halides and acetals as electrophiles under mild reductive reaction conditions has been accomplished. This study provides a general approach to accessing both β-methoxyl esters and γ-methoxyl esters from readily available acrylates,aryl halides and acetals. Experimental mechanistic evidence supports that the difference in regioselective outcomes is attributed to the ligand tuning the reactivity of the nickel catalyst, which results in different catalytic cycles operating for these two reaction conditions.展开更多

文摘The radical difunctionalization of alkenes with sulfonyl bifunctional represents a powerful and straightforward approach to access functionalized alkane derivatives.However,both the mechanistic activation mode and the substrate scopes of this type of radical difunctionalizations are still limited.We demonstrate herein a modular photoredox strategy for the difunctionalization of alkenes,employing arylsulfonyl acetate as the bifunctional reagent.This approach involves a radical addition/Smiles rearrangement cascade process,offering a robust alternative for the synthesis of valuableγ,γ-diaryl andγ-aryl esters.A complementary oxidative bifunctional reagents activation mode is identified to govern the radical cascade reactions,facilitating the simultaneous incorporation of aryl and carboxylate-bearing alkyl groups into the alkenes with excellent diastereoselectivity.Noteworthy features of this method include mild reaction conditions,organophotocatalysis,high atom-and step-economy,excellent functional group compatibility and great structural diversity.
