Abstract
The use of [Au(SIPr)(Cbz)] as photosensitizer in [2+2]–cycloaddition reactions between benzothiophenes and activated (and non–activated) alkenes is presented. Commonly used organic and Ir–photosensitizers proved inefficient in the reaction with non–activated alkenes. The study emphasizes the dependence of the nature of the alkene, a parameter that has previously received little attention. Under mild reaction conditions, a wide array of alkenes and benzothiophenes were successfully coupled, showcasing remarkable tolerance of diverse functional groups. Additionally, we present intramolecular [2+2]–cycloaddition reactions, including benzothiophenes featuring various alkene linkers at the C2 and C3 positions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
