Glycosylation reaction is one of the important aspects of carbohydrate chemistry, where two different units are frequently linked through the C-O bonds. In the pursuit of advancing this field, the design and development of sustainable catalytic methods for O-glycosylation, which can provide an alternate and effective tool to traditional protocols involving stoichiometric promoters and classical donors are considered as highly challenging yet important facets of glycochemistry. Herein, we report a simple and efficient Fe(III)-catalyzed method for O-glycosylation through the activation of bifunctional phenylpropiolate glycoside (PPG) donors. This mild and effective method involves the use of inexpensive, and less-toxic FeCl3 as a catalyst and easily synthesizable, benchtop stable glycosyl ester-based PPG donors, which react with various sugar as well as non-sugar-based acceptors to deliver the corresponding O-glycosides in good yields with moderate anomeric selectivity along with regeneration of easily separable phenylpropiolic acid. Importantly, D-mannose and L-rhamnose-based PPG donors afforded the corresponding O-glycosides in high α-anomeric-selectivity. The reaction conditions were further explored for the synthesis of trisaccharide.

The ligand that stabilizes the metal center is crucial to its catalytic activity. Historically dominated by phosphorus and nitrogen, sulfur has long been little considered as a hetero element for stabilizing a potentially active metal center. However, this situation is changing and we are seeing more and more examples that incorporate this element. This review provides an overview of recent transition metal-catalyzed reactions with ligands containing neutral sulfur groups, i.e. thioethers. A selection of examples published over the last decade illustrates the diversity of applications of thioether-containing ligands and shows that sulfur should be more widely used in the development of homogeneous catalysis.

Abstract The benzoxazole and benzothiazole moieties were used as innate directing groups for Pd(II)- and Ru(II)-catalyzed C–H arylation of the biorelevant heterocycles 2-arylbenzoxazole and 2-arylbenzothiazole with diverse iodoarenes; palladium and ruthenium catalysis could be used complementarily. The use of σ-donor ligands, such as N,N-dimethylacetamide in the Pd(II) catalytic cycle, and σ-donor/π-acceptor ligands, such as PPh3 in the Ru(II) catalytic cycle, enhanced the arylation rate significantly and was governed by the C–H acidity of the C2-aryl ring of the 2-arylbenzoxazole or 2-arylbenzothiazole. These approaches have a broad substrate scope with respect to coupling partners, to accommodate electron-neutral, electron-rich, as well as electron-deficient iodoarenes; the C2-aryl unit of the 2-arylbenzoxazole or 2-arylbenzothiazole exhibited a high degree of site selectivity at the ortho C–H position, affording only monoarylated derivatives in decent yields; the reactions are functional-group-tolerant and applicable to gram-scale production.

Abstract In modern advances, tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (commonly known as BCF) catalyst has risen to prominence owing to its extensive versatility in the use of myriad of organic reactions. An efficient and highly stereoselective α-C-glycosylation strategy is presented by employing a catalytic amount of B(C6F5)3 under mild reaction conditions en route to 2,3-unsaturated C-glycosides. The reaction features a broad functional group tolerance including a variety of glycals coupled with allyltrimethylsilane and trimethylsilylphenylacetylene to access the corresponding 2,3-unsaturated allyl- and alkynyl-C-glycosides with excellent α-selectivity. The reaction proceeds in good to excellent yields via concomitant borane activation of glycal donor under mild conditions.

Abstract A reaction sequence of Diels–Alder cycloaddition and Tsuji–Trost allylation was examined in terms of its application to the synthesis of kopsinine and the related Kopsia alkaloids. Results of the studies in two synthetic directions are presented herein: 1) synthesis of the properly substituted diene, required for the Diels–Alder step; and 2) model studies and optimization of the key reaction sequence in the absence of side-chain. Details on the challenging introduction of the side-chain into tetrahydrocarboline ketone and its silylation, resulting in rare but unproductive vinylogous Claisen cyclization, and the successful Mannich/Mukaiyama aldol sequence are disclosed in the first direction. In the second direction, the endo-selective Diels–Alder reaction with allyl acrylate and Tsuji–Trost allylation providing incorrect stereochemistry are disclosed. Interaction of both dienes with an alkyne provides carbazoles via Alder–Rickert reaction.

Abstract A photoinduced approach for regioselective C-2 trifluoromethylation of indoles was achieved with CF3SO2Na under UV light irradiation (360–365 nm) at ambient conditions without any external photo activator. The key steps involve the in situ conversion of CF3SO2Na reagent to CF3 • radical under oxygen or air and UV irradiation. This proficient method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, fair substrate tolerability, and gram scalability.
