Abstract Photochemistry has become a key area of research in synthetic chemistry over the last few decades. More recently, interest has grown in merging this area with transition metal catalysis to develop new reactivity. One key photoinduced step in this context is ligand dissociation from transition metal complexes. This has been used to develop light-gated catalysis, allowing for on/off control over a reaction. However, this concept can only result in a single product outcome. Our group has focused on the development of cobalt-catalyzed reactivity switches, enabled by a simple photodissociation step, which promotes one mechanistic path or another. As such, we can use a single catalytic platform to yield two different outcomes depending on whether the reaction is irradiated with light or not. This short review will focus on works in this area by our group and others. 1 Introduction 2 Photocontrolled Hydroboration 3 Hydrogenation and Hydroformylation 4 Conclusion

Abstract Superarmed glycosyl donors have higher reactivity compared to their perbenzylated armed counterparts. Generally, the 2-O-benzoyl-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl protecting group pattern gives rise to increased reactivity due to an O-2/O-5 cooperative effect. Despite having a high reactivity profile and applicability in many expeditious strategies for glycan synthesis, regioselective introduction of the superarming protecting group pattern is tedious for most sugar series. Reported herein is a streamlined synthetic route to yield superarmed glycosyl donors of the d-gluco and d-galacto series equipped with an ethylthio, phenylthio, p-tolylthio, benzoxazol-2-ylthio, O-allyl, or O-pentenyl anomeric leaving group. This streamlined approach was made possible due to the refinement of the oxidative thioglycosylation reaction of the respective glucal and galactal precursors. The applicability of this approach to the direct formation of disaccharides is also showcased.
超旋臂糖基供体与过苄基旋臂糖基供体相比具有更高的反应性。一般来说,2- o -苯甲酰-3,4,6-三- o -苯保护基模式由于O-2/O-5协同效应而提高了反应性。尽管具有很高的反应性,适用于许多快速的糖合成策略,但对于大多数糖系来说,区域选择性地引入超警戒保护基团模式是繁琐的。本文报道了一种流线型的合成路线,以生产具有乙基硫、苯硫、对甲基硫、苯并恶唑-2-基硫、o -烯丙基或o -戊基端粒离去基的d-葡萄糖和d-半乳糖系列的超臂糖基供体。由于各自的葡萄糖和半乳糖前体的氧化巯基化反应的改进,这种简化的方法成为可能。这种方法对直接形成双糖的适用性也得到了证明。

Abstract A photochemical protocol for the alkylation of diazines (pyrimidines, pyrazines, and pyridazines) with N-(acyloxy)phthalimides has been developed. The process is facilitated by the presence of triethylamine under irradiation with 427–390 nm light; this enables rapid cross-coupling reactions to construct a wide range of alkylated diazines.

Abstract Lewis acid catalyzed 4π-electrocyclization of Donor–Acceptor Stenhouse Adducts (DASAs) has been developed. By employing catalytic quantities of Dy(OTf)3, a highly efficient transformation of acyclic DASAs into the corresponding cyclized isomers was achieved. Notably, this transformation exhibited exceptional yields, particularly in the case of first generation DASAs. In addition, Lewis acid catalysis enabled one-pot synthesis of the cyclopentenone product from the ‘donor’ and ‘acceptor’ components.

A photo-induced intramolecular electron-aromatic-substitution (SEAr) of N-acyloxybenzozmide under 20 mol% FeCl3 at 1, 4-dioxane is reported for the synthesis of biologically interesting benzoxazin-3(4H)-ones. In the reaction, it is believed that blue LED facilitates the reaction, like reaction temperature serving as source of energy. The reaction SEAr pathway was ascribed to the electron effect in aryl ring of substrates. The reaction was also applicable for the synthesis of useful scaffolds possessing a quinolin-2-one core, such as anticancer reagent 4, brexipiprazole and cilostamide analogues.

Abstract The study of macrolactonization processes has been a steady endeavor for synthetic chemists to access macrocycles that are fundamental in the development of numerous high-added-value compounds, notably drugs and fragrances. This field of research is essential as macrolactonizations usually take place at the end of manifold syntheses and chemists need reliable, efficient, and versatile tools to avoid unpredictable results that would lead them to completely redesign their synthetic plan. Here, we highlight the recent methods reported to achieve macrolactonizations towards the formation of both macrolactones and macrodiolides, which feature either Lewis acids, transition metals or organic molecules as activating agents. 1 Introduction 2 Stoichiometric Carboxylic Acid Activation 3 Lewis Acid Catalyzed Reaction 4 C–H Activation 5 Ring-Expansion Strategy 6 Chemoenzymatic Synthesis 7 Other Macrolactonization Variants 8 Conclusion and Outlook
