Abstract:An
electron donor–acceptor complex-enabled, nickel-catalyzed
three-component net-reductive 1,2-alkylacylation of alkenes is developed.
This conjunctive reductive acyl cross-coupling process obviates the
use of an exogenous photocatalyst and a stoichiometric metal-based
reductant, affording various synthetically useful 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds
in good yields with a broad substrate scope and excellent functional
group tolerance. Both alkyl and acyl electrophiles are derived from
the highly abundant and readily a… Show more
“…Importantly, a wide range of alkanes with different kinds of functional groups were successfully employed as radical precursors, thus delivering the corresponding functionalized ketones with satisfactory yields and excellent regioselectivities. Concurrent with Ackermann's initial discovery that outlined the metallaphotoredox carboacylation of electron-deficient alkenes, Yuan and co-workers disclosed the electron donor–acceptor complex-enabled, nickel-catalyzed carboacylation of electron-deficient alkenes, 104 which takes the 2-pyridyl esters as acyl donors and NHPI esters as alkyl radical precursors and circumvents the use of the exogenous photocatalyst and stoichiometric metal reductants.…”

“…In another report of 1,2-dicarbofunctionalization of olefins, Yuan and co-workers described 1,2-alkylacylation of alkenes affording synthetically useful 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in good yields with excellent functional group tolerance (Scheme 21). 42 Several advances have been made in the area of 1,2dicarbofunctionalization of olefins using synergistic photoredox/nickel catalysis; however, most reports are restricted to organohalides as coupling partners. The current work uses carboxylic acid esters as the coupling partners.…”

Nonprecious-metal-catalyzed alternatives to powerful
precious metal
transformations are of increasing interest in academia and the pharmaceutical
industry due to the lower cost, better sustainability, and lower toxicity.
With the continual growth in the broad field of nonprecious metal
catalysis (NPMC), we have chosen to highlight selected articles published
from March to June 2022 which are intended to highlight examples of
NPMC that we feel may be especially relevant to pharmaceutical development.
We aim to inspire academic and industrial innovation in NPMC through
the discussion herein.
“…To date, only a few examples of intermolecular three-component difunctionalization of alkenes using methods based on EDA complexes have been documented. 4 Usually, these methods need redox auxiliaries to modulate the substrate and sacrificial donor ( e.g. , Hantzsch ester), which reduces the atom economy of these reactions (Fig.…”
Herein, we report a visible-light-induced photocatalytic protocol for the thiolation and pyridylation of styenes using thiolate-based EDA complex as bifunctional reagents. The reaction occurrs under mild, and photocatalyst-, metal-, external...
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.
