A silver-catalyzed decarboxylative trifluoromethylthiolation of secondary and tertiary carboxylic acids under mild conditions tolerates a wide range of functional groups. The reaction was dramatically accelerated by its performance in an aqueous emulsion, which was formed by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate to water. It was proposed that the radical, which was generated from the silver-catalyzed decarboxylation in the "oil-in-water" droplets, could easily react with the trifluoromethylthiolating reagent to form the product.

Here we report the development of unprecedented silver-catalyzed intramolecular annulations of -acrolyl-2-(3-indolyl) benzimidazoles with alkyl carboxylic acids to construct complex fused-pentacyclic alkaloid scaffolds. Divergent reactivities are noticed with altered groups at C2-indole of the substrate. The reaction proceeds through decarboxylative alkylation, followed by dearomative annulation in a domino manner with excellent diastereoselectivity.

An unprecedented radical-promoted strategy involving a domino alkylation/intramolecular C5-annulation of -acryloyl-4-amino coumarin has been devised for the assembly of 4,5-fused coumarin scaffolds. This protocol employs silver-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylation for the generation of alkyl radicals from carboxylic acids, which were used as radical precursors. This method has also been extended to a diverse range of carbon-centered radicals generated from 2-oxo acids, a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound, isopropanol and acetone.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study introduces a new method for decarboxylative nitrooxylation using silver as a catalyst, which is based on radical reactions.
  • - The method effectively works with various nonactivated primary and secondary carboxylic acids, producing a unique range of organic nitrates.
  • - Initial investigations into the mechanism suggest that a silver(II) nitrate complex plays a key role in forming C-O bonds, making this approach versatile and compatible with different functional groups.

Herein, we report a silver-catalyzed protocol for decarboxylative cross-coupling between carboxylic acids and isocyanides, leading to linear amide products through a free-radical mechanism. The disclosed approach provides a general entry to a variety of decorated amides, accommodating a diverse array of radical precursors, including aryl, heteroaryl, alkynyl, alkenyl, and alkyl carboxylic acids. Notably, the protocol proved to be efficient for decarboxylative late-stage functionalization of several elaborate pharmaceuticals, demonstrating its potential applications.

Silver-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Remote Fluorination via a Zwitterion-Promoted 1,4-Heteroaryl Migration.

Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Pesticide Science and Department of Chemistry, College of Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China.

A silver-catalyzed decarboxylative remote fluorination via a zwitterion-promoted 1,4-heteroaryl migration has been developed. A variety of heteroaryl-tethered benzyl fluorides have been readily synthesized with good regioselectivity under mild conditions. The zwitterion of the substrate is suggested to accelerate the 1,4-heteroaryl migration, which determines the regioselectivity of this transformation.
