https://www.selleckchem.com/products/azd2014.html One of the most efficient ways to synthesize oxetanes is the light-enabled [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of carbonyls and alkenes, referred to as the Paternò-Büchi reaction. The reaction conditions for this transformation typically require the use of high energy UV light to excite the carbonyl, limiting the applications, safety, and scalability. We herein report the development of a visible-light-mediated Paternò-Büchi reaction protocol that relies on triplet energy transfer from an iridium-based photocatalyst to the carbonyl substrates. This mode of activation is demonstrated for a variety of aryl glyoxylates and negates the need for both visible-light-absorbing carbonyl starting materials and UV light to enable access to a variety of functionalized oxetanes in up to 99% yield.We report here a Ru-catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of biaryl-bridged NH lactams through asymmetric reductive amination and a spontaneous ring-closing cascade from keto esters and NH4OAc with H2 as reductant. The reaction features broad substrate generality and high enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). To showcase the practical utility, a highly enantioselective synthesis of 5-ethylindolobenzazepinone C, a promising antimitotic agent, has been rapidly completed. Furthermore, the amide group in the products enables versatile elaborations through directed C-H functionalization.We report herein an atroposelective N-acylation of sulfonamides using a commercially available isothiourea catalyst, (S)-HBTM, with a simple procedure. The N-sulfonyl anilide products can be obtained in good to high enantiopurity, which represents a new axially chiral scaffold. The application of the product as a chiral iodine catalyst is also demonstrated for the asymmetric α-oxytosylation of propiophenone.Herein, we report a new one-pot sequential method for SO2F2-mediated nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions starting from carboxylic acids.
