The reactions of heteropentalene mesomeric betaine 1 and nitrogen-rich mesoionic tetrazolium-5-amides 4, 11 and 16-18 with electron-deficient unsaturated compounds have been studied. Novel heterocyclic systems, tetrazolo[4,5-a][1,7]benzodiazonine inner salt 2 and 3-oxo-3,7-dihydro-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine 5, have been synthesized by the reactions of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate with 1 and tetrazolium-5-anilide 4, respectively, and fully characterized by X-ray crystallography. It has been found that the reactions of other tetrazolium-5-amides are also initiated by the nucleophilic addition of the electron-rich amide nitrogen to the electron-deficient unsaturated compounds.

The development of all-solid-state frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) metal-free hydrogenation catalysts with excellent activity and stability remains a significant challenge. In this work, B, N codoped FLPs catalysts (De-rGO-NB) were prepared by the strategy of fabricating carbon defects and heteroatom doping on the surface of reduced graphene oxide and applied in the selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to unsaturated alcohols. It was found that electron-rich pyridine-N (Lewis base) and adjacent electron-deficient B-N (Lewis acid) sites could be constructed on the surface of reduced graphene oxide using dicyandiamide and metaboric acid as N and B sources, thus forming FLPs sites.

In this study, an iridium-catalyzed selective 1,4-reduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is realized, with water as a solvent and formic acid as a hydride donor. The new efficient iridium catalyst features a 2-(4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-yl)quinoline ligand. The chemoselectivity and catalyst efficiency are highly dependent on the electronic and steric properties of the substrates.

The rising popularity of bioconjugate therapeutics has led to growing interest in late-stage functionalization (LSF) of peptide scaffolds. α,β-Unsaturated amino acids like dehydroalanine (Dha) derivatives have emerged as particularly useful structures, as the electron-deficient olefin moiety can engage in late-stage functionalization reactions, like a Giese-type reaction. Cheap and widely available building blocks like organohalides can be converted into alkyl radicals by means of photoinduced silane-mediated halogen-atom transfer (XAT) to offer a mild and straightforward methodology of alkylation.

We disclose a broad platform for copper-catalyzed atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of electron-deficient olefins. Catalytic Cu(dtbbpy)(OTf) enables radical addition of electron-deficient alkyl halides to acrylates, acrylamides, and vinyl sulfones in fair to excellent yields. The resultant ATRA products can be used in a variety of telescoped reactions, including substitution with basic amine nucleophiles to afford α-amino esters.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving single-atom catalysts (SACs) for hydrogen production through photocatalysis by creating a Co-P/g-CN heterostructure.
- The synthesis involved changing the Co-O configuration to a Co-P structure, enhancing the electronic properties and charge distribution, which lowered the energy barrier for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER).
- The Co-P/g-CN catalyst exhibited a HER rate significantly higher than traditional noble metal photocatalysts and achieved an apparent quantum efficiency of 28.45% at a specific wavelength, indicating its effectiveness in photocatalytic processes.
