Published: May 2017

A copper-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylative coupling of α-keto acids with NH-sulfoximines has been developed. With CuBr as the catalyst and KSO as the oxidant, this reaction enables the formation of a C-N bond and gives N-aroylsulfoximine products in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction mechanism is likely to involve the generation of a reactive aroyl radical intermediate.

The chemical recycling of polystyrene (PS) waste to value-added aromatic compounds is an attractive but formidable challenge due to the inertness of the C-C bonds in the polymer backbone. Here we develop a light-driven, copper-catalyzed protocol to achieve aerobic oxidation of various alkylarenes or real-life PS waste to benzoic acid and oxidized styrene oligomers. The resulting oligomers can be further transformed under heating conditions, thus achieving benzoic acid in up to 65% total yield through an integrated one-pot two-step procedure.

This study introduces a novel methodology for the direct construction of tetrasubstituted centers, utilizing secondary C(sp)-H and C(sp)-H substrates, specifically indolin-2-ones and indoles, through an innovative oxidative cross-coupling reaction. Facilitated by a straightforward copper salt catalyst, this reaction proceeds efficiently at a mild temperature of 40 °C under operationally streamlined conditions. Emphasizing sustainability, this method is notably enhanced by employing air (molecular oxygen) as an eco-friendly oxidant.

In this study, phosphoramide compounds were successfully synthesized a series of reaction transformations from P(O)H compounds. The process began with the formation of P-Se-Ar bonds, facilitated by the synergistic effect of phenylboronic acid, selenium, and appropriate ligands in the presence of copper. Following this, nucleophilic substitution reactions with amine compounds were conducted to create P-N bonds.

An effective and economical copper-catalyzed approach for the synthesis of phosphorylated 1-isochromenes is reported. This method is the first example of focus on ketone phosphonylation to establish a C-P bond and 6-- cyclization to construct a C-O bond between aryl- and alkyl-substituted alkynylketones and H-phosphinate esters, H-phosphites, and H-phosphine oxides, resulting in chemo- and regioselective phosphorylated 1-isochromenes with moderate to excellent yields under smooth reaction conditions.
