Enantioselective Synthesis of 1,2-Benzothiazine 1-Imines via Ru /Chiral Carboxylic Acid-Catalyzed C-H Alkylation/Cyclization.

Sulfondiimines are diaza-analogues of sulfones with a chiral sulfur center. Compared to sulfones and sulfoximines, their synthesis and transformations have so far been studied to a lesser extent. Here, we report the enantioselective synthesis of 1,2-benzothiazine 1-imines, i.

Synthesis of Polysubstituted Enamides by Hydrogen Atom Transfer Alkene Isomerization Using Dual Cobalt/Photoredox Catalysis.

M-HAT isomerization is a highly reliable method to access thermodynamically stable alkenes with high functional group tolerance. However, synthesis of heteroatom-substituted alkenes by M-HAT isomerization reaction is still underdeveloped. Herein, we report an enamide synthesis using M-HAT via a combination of cobalt and photoredox catalysis.

C-H γ,γ,γ-Trifluoroalkylation of Quinolines via Visible-Light-Induced Sequential Radical Additions.

The photocatalyst-free C-H γ,γ,γ-trifluoroalkylation of quinolines under visible light irradiation is reported. By the combination of readily available alkenes and Umemoto's reagent II, a variety of γ,γ,γ-trifluoroalkyl groups were installed into quinolines via chemoselective sequential radical processes. This transformation provides rapid access to a variety of quinoline derivatives with scarcely explored fluoroalkyl groups, affording a novel library of N-heteroaromatic compounds and versatile building blocks for applications in medicinal chemistry.
