Synthesis of α-oxygenated ketones from styrenes mediated by phenyliodonium diacetate in the presence of molecular oxygen and N-hydroxyphthalimide or N-hydroxybenzotriazole has been described. Addition of carbonyl oxygen at the α-position and formation of C-O bond at the β-position of styrenes was achieved under metal-free conditions. The present method is applicable for wide range of styrenes with a variety of functional groups.

In this study, we present a novel and efficient approach for the oxidative esterification of sulfenamides using phenyliodonium diacetate, enabling the synthesis of sulfinimidate esters and sulfilimines under mild and metal-free conditions, with yields reaching up to 99%. The protocol is readily scalable and compatible with a diverse range of substrates and functional groups, and we demonstrate its potential for late-stage functionalization of pharmacologically relevant molecules. Furthermore, we propose a plausible reaction mechanism to account for the observed sequence of events.

A direct B(4)-H monoacyloxylation via a Pd-catalyzed regioselective B(4)-H activation of -carborane acids with phenyliodonium dicarboxylates was developed, and a series of B(4)-H monoacyloxylated -carboranes decorated with active groups were synthesized with moderate to good yields as well as excellent selectivity. In addition, a direct B(4,5)-H diacetoxylation from -carborane acids with phenyliodonium diacetate was demonstrated.

A one-pot metal-free conversion of unprotected amino acids to terminal diazirines has been developed using phenyliodonium diacetate (PIDA) and ammonia. This PIDA-mediated transformation occurs three consecutive reactions and involves an iodonitrene intermediate. This method is tolerant to most functional groups found on the lateral chain of amino acids, it is operationally simple, and it can be scaled up to provide multigram quantities of diazirine.

Pd-Catalyzed C-H aziridination of 3,3,5,5-tetrasubstituted piperazin-2-ones.

A palladium mediated C-H aziridination reaction of 3,3,5,5-substituted-piperazin-2-ones has been developed using phenyliodonium diacetate (PIDA) and succinic acid to give synthetically useful bicyclic aziridines, in moderate to good yields. Succinic acid was found to be key for selectively promoting C-N bond formation (aziridination) and suppressing competitive acetoxylation. Analysis of the reaction kinetics revealed the role of succinic acid in promoting an equilibrium between monomeric and dimeric palladium species in the rate determining step of the reaction.

Laboratory for Organic & Microwave-Assisted Chemistry (LOMAC), University of Leuven (KU Leuven), Celestijnenlaan 200F, 3001, Leuven, Belgium.

An oxidative cascade cyclization of propargylguanidines promoted by phenyliodonium diacetate (PIDA) was developed. The protocol provides an efficient route for the synthesis of the alkaloids kealiinines B and C as well as homologues. The difference in the electronic nature of the acetylene substituent resulted in two ways of the cyclization.
