An efficient photocatalytic oxidative/reductive cyclization reaction of N-cyanamide alkenes with arylsulfinic acids or arylsulfonyl chlorides, which proceeds through C–S, C–C, and C–N bond formations, is reported. This photocatalytic reaction was carried out under mild conditions, which provides a new strategy for the synthesis of sulfonated quinazolinones. Furthermore, a one-pot procedure to achieve terminal alkenes has been explored via elimination of the obtained sulfonated quinazolinones under basic conditions.

The development of new asymmetric methods for preparation of chiral fluorine-containing compounds is in extremely high demand in many areas of chemical research and industry. Herein, we describe a new cascade reaction approach, exemplified by the reactions of, in situ generated fluoro-enolates, with ortho-phthalaldehyde. The reactions proceed through the sequence of detrifluoroacetylation, aldol addition, intramolecular cyclization and oxidation, under convenient conditions with synthetically attractive stereochemical outcome and good structural generality. We demonstrate that these cascade reactions can be performed in catalytic asymmetric mode affording diastereomerically pure products with up to 86% ee.A detrifluoroacetylative cascade reactions between bicyclic 1,3-di-keto-hydrates, fluoro-enolate precursors, with ortho-phthalaldehyde has been developed, which allows preparation of structurally more complex targets with up to 86% ee.Download high-res image (88KB)Download full-size image

A sunlight-initiated radical conversion of aryl alkynoates to 3-iodocoumarins has been achieved using N-iodosuccinimide as the iodine source without the use of a catalyst or additive. Experimental, X-ray analysis, and computational studies indicate that the reaction under sunlight proceeds through iodination, spirocyclization and ring expansion to form the kinetic product. The sunlight-driven reaction provides a green pathway to especially valuable 3-halocoumarins derivatives.

In the meanwhile, a special operation by slowly adding the pre-cooled imine solution at −78 °C into the preformed β-bromo lithium enolate mixture at this temperature in the presence of 4 Å molecular sieves was found to be crucial in terms of yields and diastereoselectivity.

Abstract
The group-assisted purification asymmetric synthesis of α,β-diamino acid derivatives was achieved by treating chiral N-phosphonyl imines with a NiII-complexed glycine-derived enolate; traditional purification techniques such as chromatography and recrystallization are not required. Successful control of the syn stereochemistry of the vicinal diamino products complements our previous methods that afforded anti stereoisomers; thus, all four individual isomers can be synthesized simply by changing the geometry of the enolate. In contrast to our previous synthesis in which at least 5 equiv. of the glycine Schiff base enolate was required for complete conversion, the new synthesis only needs 1.1 equiv. of the glycine Schiff base enolate to give complete diastereoselectivity (>30:1 dr) and high yields (91–97 %). The absolute stereochemistry was unambiguously determined by X-ray structure analysis.

The combinations of N-methyl-p-toluenesulfonamide/NBS and N-ethyl-p-toluenesulfonamide/NBS were found to be good nitrogen/halogen resources for the aminohalogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones in the presence of Ni(OAc)2 as the catalyst for the synthesis of vicinal haloamino ketone derivatives. The introduction of N-alkyl groups to the nitrogen resources resulted in excellent regio- and stereoselectivity for both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing group-attached unsaturated ketone substrates. The structure of the resulting products has been unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis.

The reactions of MII nitrate (M = Co, Ni) with 1, 4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl) benzene (bix) gave two novel interesting coordination networks [M2(bix)3(NO3)4]. The network contains 1D zigzag molecular ladder motifs, with anionic co-ligand NO3− as side arms on both sides, which thread through the squares of adjacent polymeric units in a mutual relationship, resulting in the first 1D→2D polythreading with finite components based on flexibly long ligand.The first 1D→2D polythreading with finite components based on flexibly long ligand was hydrothermally synthesized and the diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectrum suggests that they may be excellent candidates for potential photoactive materials.

The present investigation showed that the surface cobalt silicate and CoOx cluster anchored to SBA-15 are highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the cyclohexane partial oxidation with air-like O2 (20%)-N2 (80%) mixture as oxidant in the continuously stirred tank reactor at 413 K and 1.0 MPa. Typically, selectivity of 84.6% at cyclohexane conversion of 14.5% can be achieved in a period of 2 h reaction. The performance of Co-catalyst is affected by the nature of Co species introduced to SBA-15. The surface cobalt silicate with higher proportion of “isolated” Co2+ sites shows better result than the well dispersed CoOx clusters mainly on the internal surface of SBA-15. Furthermore, different preparation method also influences the porosity of SBA-15 and accessibility to Co sites, which may in turn affect on the reaction performance.

The reaction was convenient to carry out by using 4-dimethylaminopyridine as the catalyst, resulting in vicinal dichlorinated haloamino nitroalkanes with opposite regiochemistry to that generated from other electron-deficient olefins observed previously. The reaction proceeded smoothly at room temperature with good yields and excellent regioselectivities. A mechanism involving a chloronium intermediate was proposed to explain the resulting regiochemistry.

A series of chiral prolinamides have been designed and used in the direct aldol reaction resulting in the desired products with excellent yields (up to 94% yield) and high enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). Water was found to play a significant role in the formation of the aldol products, which suggests a new strategy in the design of new organic catalysts.

Cyclohexane oxidation was operated in a continuously stirred tank reactor at system pressures of 0.6–1.0 MPa under an air-like O2/N2 atmosphere (rather than pure O2). Catalytic performance was investigated over Au nanoparticles (size: 3–8 nm) hosted by SBA-15 as well as Au particles (>60 nm) deposited on MCM-41, and high turnover frequencies of desired products were detected over the former. Based on intrinsic activities of representative catalysts, we derived a size-sensitivity feature of cyclohexane oxidation over Au particles.

Abstract
Several borohydride reagents: sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, soudium acetoxyborohydride and soudium triacetoxyborohydride were screened, respectively, for the reduction of 7-demethylsinomenine, which was an α,β-dicarbonyl compound derived from sinomenine. Highly regio- and stereo-selectivity was acquired when sodium cyanoborohydride or NaBH(OAc)3 was used. The product was structurally confirmed as 7R configuration by NMR, X-ray crystal diffraction analysis. Some preliminary discussion was also made on the mechanism of the selective reduction.

The modified N-phosphonyl imines have proven to be superior to previous imine auxiliaries for the aza Darzens reaction by using a secondary isopropyl group to replace the primary benzyl group for N,N-diamino protection. In the meanwhile, a special operation by slowly adding the pre-cooled imine solution at −78 °C into the preformed β-bromo lithium enolate mixture at this temperature in the presence of 4 Å molecular sieves was found to be crucial in terms of yields and diastereoselectivity.
