[reaction: see text] Thermal decomposition of phenyliodonium ylide of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (lawsone) in the presence of indole derivatives affords 3-acylated indoles existing in their enol forms, through a ring contraction and alpha,alpha'-dioxoketene formation reaction. The same reactants afford 3-(3-indolyl)-2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones in a copper-catalyzed reaction. Enamines, among other C-nucleophiles tested, give analogous results.

Photochemical Activation of a Hydroxyquinone-Derived Phenyliodonium Ylide by Visible Light: Synthetic and Mechanistic Investigations.

We have identified and extensively investigated the photochemical activation and reaction of a hydroxyquinone-derived phenyliodonium ylide in the presence of visible light using experiment and theory. These studies revealed that in its photoexcited state this iodonium is capable of facilitating a range of single-electron transfer (SET) processes, including hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), a Povarov-type reaction, and atom-transfer radical addition chemistry. Where possible, we have employed density functional theory (DFT) to develop a more complete understanding of these photoinduced synthetic transformations.

A highly enantioselective cyclopropanation to synthesize pyrimidine-substituted diester D-A cyclopropanes is reported. Various N1-vinylpyrimidines react well with phenyliodonium ylides, delivering chiral cyclopropanes in up to 97% yield with up to 99% ee. Through simple [3+2] annulation with benzaldehyde or ethyl glyoxylate, different chiral pyrimidine nucleoside analogues with a sugar ring could be obtained.

Silver-catalyzed tandem cyclization-elimination reactions of conjugated ene-yne-ketones in PhI(OAc)/triethylamine system lead to the formation of 2-alkenylfurans. 2-Furylsilver carbene and phenyliodonium ylide are proposed as the key intermediates in these transformations.

Chiral Lewis acid-promoted enantioselective α-alkylation of β-ketoamides with phenyliodonium ylide was developed. In the presence of a chiral N,N'-dioxide/Ni(ii) complex, the corresponding 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds were obtained with good results (up to 91% yield and 97% ee). Control experiments and EPR studies supported a radical process.
