Pd catalysis provides a convenient method for the generation of zwitterionic intermediates that offer significant opportunities for the synthesis of functionalized heterocycles. The combination of electrophilic π-allyl Pd fragments and C-, N- and O-centered nucleophiles allows these intermediates to react with readily available substrates to furnish a range of high value products with control of chemo-, regio- and stereo-selectivity.
3-Fluoro- and trifluoromethylthio-piperidines
represent important
building blocks for discovery chemistry. We report a simple and efficient
method to access analogs of these compounds that are armed with rich
functionality allowing them to be chemoselectively derivatized with
high diastereocontrol.
Sydnone‐based cycloaddition reactions are a versatile platform for pyrazole synthesis, however they operate under harsh conditions (high temperature and long reaction times). Herein we report a strategy that addresses this limitation utilizing the synergistic combination of organocatalysis and visible‐light photocatalysis. This new approach proceeds under ambient conditions and with excellent levels of regiocontrol. Mechanistic studies suggest that photoactivation of sydnones, rather than enamines, is key to the successful implementation of this process.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
