An operationally simple E -> Z isomerization of activated dienes, based on the beta-ionyl motif intrinsic to retinal, is reported using inexpensive (-)-riboflavin (vitamin B-2) under irradiation at 402 nm. Selective energy transfer from photoexcited (-)-riboflavin to the starting E-isomer enables geometrical isomerization. Since the analogous process with the Z-isomer is inefficient, microscopic reversibility is circumvented, thereby enabling a directional isomerization to generate the contra-thermodynamic product (up to 99% yield, up to 99:1 Z/E). Prudent choice of photocatalyst enables chemoselective isomerization to be achieved in both inter- and intramolecular systems. The principles established from this study, together with a molecular editing approach, have facilitated the development of a regioselective isomerization of a truncated triene based on the retinal scaffold.

Fluorocyclisation of Oximes to Isoxazolines Through I(I)/I(III) Catalysis

Jessica Neufeld, Constantin. G. G. Daniliuc, Ryan Gilmour

Summary: This study presents a regioselective fluorocyclisation of beta,gamma-unsaturated oximes through I(I)/I(III) catalysis, using p-iodotoluene as a cost-effective catalyst, Selectfluor((R)) as the oxidant, and an amine.HF complex as the fluoride and Bronsted acid source. The transformation produces 5-fluoromethylated isoxazolines, with a range of aliphatic and aromatic systems yielding up to 56%.

Catalytic Formal [2π+2σ] Cycloaddition of Aldehydes with Bicyclobutanes: Expedient Access to Polysubstituted 2-Oxabicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes

Yujie Liang, Fritz Paulus, Constantin G. Daniliuc, Frank Glorius

Summary: We report a BF3-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between aldehydes and bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) to access polysubstituted 2-oxabicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes. A new BCB containing an acyl pyrazole group was discovered, which not only facilitates the reactions but also allows for diverse downstream transformations. Additionally, aryl and vinyl epoxides can be used as substrates that undergo cycloaddition with BCBs after in situ rearrangement to aldehydes. These results will promote the exploration of complex sp(3)-rich bicyclic frameworks and BCB-based cycloaddition chemistry.

Regiodivergent C-H Acylation of Arenes by Switching from Ionic- to Radical-Type Chemistry Using NHC Catalysis

Jannik Reimler, Xiao-Ye Yu, Nico Spreckelmeyer, Constantin G. Daniliuc, Armido Studer

Summary: The Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction has been a valuable and versatile reaction, but a new radical approach for the acylation of arenes and heteroarenes is presented in this study. By using cooperative photoredox/NHC radical catalysis, C-H acylation is achieved with regiodivergent outcomes. Aroyl fluorides act as the acylation reagents in both the ionic and radical processes.

Geometric Isomerisation of Bifunctional Alkenyl Fluoride Linchpins: Stereodivergence in Amide and Polyene Bioisostere Synthesis

Max Wienhold, Byeongseok Kweon, Calum McLaughlin, Matthias Schmitz, Till J. B. Zaehringer, Constantin G. Daniliuc, Christoph Kerzig, Ryan Gilmour

Summary: Amide groups are widely present in the chemical space continuum, and their structural and pharmacological importance as well as hydrolytic vulnerabilities drive the development of bioisosteres. Alkenyl fluorides have a long history as effective mimics, but emulating peptide bond isomerization with fluoro-alkene surrogates is challenging. This study presents a design of an ambiphilic linchpin that enables isomerization process, providing geometrically-programmable building blocks for small molecule amide and polyene isostere discovery.

An Interesting Conversion Route of Mononuclear Zinc Complex to Zinc Mixed Carboxylate Coordination Polymer

Gina Vasile Scaeteanu, Constantin G. Daniliuc, Rodica Olar, Mihaela Badea

Summary: A complex [Zn(bpy)(acr)(2)]center dot H2O was converted into a coordination polymer [Zn(bpy)(acr)(HCOO)](n) in a DMF medium. The polymer was fully characterized through crystallographic analysis, IR, and thermogravimetric analysis. The obtained complex, with its unique composition and structure, is of current interest and rarely reported in the literature.

Forging Medium Rings via I(I)/I(III)-Catalyzed Diene Carbofunctionalization

You-Jie Yu, Joel Haefliger, Zi-Xuan Wang, Constantin G. Daniliuc, Ryan Gilmour

Summary: A main-group catalysis-based strategy for accessing 8-membered carbocycles via direct carbofunctionalization of 2-phenethyl-substituted 1,3-dienes is presented. By utilizing an I(I)/I(III) catalysis cycle, densely functionalized, fluorinated benzocyclooctenes can be synthesized in a straightforward manner. The process, which involves modulation of the oxidation/activation regime and the external nucleophile, has been extended to enable the cyclization with allylic C-O, C-N, and C-C bond formation (>30 examples).

Summary: In this study, water-soluble arylazoisoxazole photoswitches were introduced. The photostationary states and reversible photoisomerization between E- and Z-isomers were observed, indicating their potential for photoresponsive host-guest chemistry in water. Furthermore, hydrogel properties can be manipulated reversibly with light. Overall, arylazoisoxazoles have great potential as molecular photoswitches in aqueous media.

Regioselective, catalytic 1,1-difluorination of enynes

Zi-Xuan Wang, Keith Livingstone, Carla Huempel, Constantin G. Daniliuc, Christian Mueck-Lichtenfeld, Ryan Gilmour

Summary: Fluorinated small molecules are commonly used in the field of functional small molecules. Researchers have developed creative approaches to access these important materials by utilizing iodine(I)/iodine(III) catalysis to convert abundant alkene substrates into high-value (di)fluorinated products. They also discovered that enynes can be used as proxies for styrenes, simplifying the process and enabling the generation of highly versatile homopropargylic difluorides.

Access to Polyheterocyclic Compounds through Iron(II)-Mediated Radical Cascade Cyclization Utilizing 2-Ethynylbenzaldehydes and Aryl Isonitriles

Shyam Kumar Banjare, Dirk Leifert, Frauke Weidlich, Constantin G. Daniliuc, Fatmah A. Alasmary, Armido Studer

Summary: An oxidative radical cascade addition cyclization approach using eco-friendly iron catalysis and inexpensive tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant has been reported for the synthesis of quinoline-based p-extended polyheterocyclic compounds. This method utilizes readily available ortho-alkynylated aromatic aldehydes as radical precursors and aryl isonitriles as radical acceptors. By applying this approach, quinolines that are p-conjugated with an additional heteroarene moiety can be prepared in a single sequence using indole and thiophene-based carbaldehydes.

Summary: In this study, a photoinduced ring enlargement method of thiophenes was developed, which involves the insertion of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes to form eight-membered bicyclic rings under mild conditions. The synthetic value, broad functional-group compatibility, and excellent chemo- and regioselectivity were demonstrated by scope evaluation and product derivatization. Experimental and computational studies suggested a photoredox-induced radical pathway.
