Developing efficient unimolecular visible light-emitting diode (LED) light photoinitiators (PIs) with photobleaching capability, which are essential for various biomedical applications and photopolymerization of thick materials, remains a great challenge. Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of a series of novel PIs, containing coumarin moieties as chromophores and oxime ester groups as initiation functionalities and explore their structure-activity relationship. The investigated oxime esters can effectively induce acrylates and thiol-based click photopolymerization under 450 nm visible LED light irradiation. The initiator O-3 exhibited excellent photobleaching capability and enabled photopolymerization of thick materials (∼4.8 mm). The efficient unimolecular photobleachable initiators show great potential in dental materials and 3D printings.

Chemodivergent dearomatization of benzene-linked O-oxime esters EnT-induced radical cross-coupling.

Chem Sci

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Functional Molecular Engineering of Guangdong Province, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, South China University of Technology (SCUT) Guangzhou 510640 China.

Radical-mediated dearomatization strategies offer a blueprint for building value-added and synthetically valuable three-dimensional skeletons from readily available aromatic starting materials. Herein, we report a novel strategy by leveraging benzene-linked O-oxime esters as triply functionalized precursors to form two distinct persistent radicals under a chemodivergent pathway. These radicals then couple with a cyclohexadienyl radical for either carboamination or carbo-aminoalkylation.

Photocatalyzed Azidofunctionalization of Alkenes via Radical-Polar Crossover.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Laboratory of Catalysis and Organic Synthesis, Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, CH-1015, Lausanne, Switzerland.

The azidofunctionalization of alkenes under mild conditions using commercially available starting materials and easily accessible reagents is reported based on a radical-polar crossover strategy. A broad range of alkenes, including vinyl arenes, enamides, enol ethers, vinyl sulfides, and dehydroamino esters, were regioselectively functionalized with an azide and nucleophiles such as azoles, carboxylic acids, alcohols, phosphoric acids, oximes, and phenols. The method led to a more efficient synthesis of 1,2-azidofunctionalized pharmaceutical intermediates when compared to previous approaches, resulting in both reduction of step count and increase in overall yield.

As marine equipment advances from shallow to deep-sea environments, the demand for high-performance antifouling materials continues to increase. The lionfish, a species inhabiting both deep-sea and shallow coral reefs, prevents fouling organism adhesion via its smooth, mucus-covered skin, which contains antimicrobial peptides. Inspired by lionfish skin, this work integrates zwitterionic segments with hydration-based fouling-release properties and the furan oxime ester structure with intrinsic antibacterial activity to develop a silicone-based antifouling coating capable of operating from shallow to deep-sea environments.

ConspectusIn the past decade, single-atom skeletal editing, which involves the precise insertion, deletion, or exchange of single atoms in the core skeleton of a molecule, has emerged as a promising synthetic strategy for the rapid construction or diversification of complex molecules without laborious synthetic processes. Among them, carbene-initiated skeletal editing is particularly appealing due to the ready availability and diverse reactivities of carbene species. The initial endeavors to modify the core skeleton of heteroarenes through carbon-atom insertion could date back to 1881, when Ciamician and Denstedt described the conversion of pyrroles to pyridines by trapping haloform-derived free carbene.
