The α-arylation of cyclic and fluoroalkyl 1,3-diketones is made challenging by the highly stabilized nature of the corresponding enolates, and is especially difficult for sterically demanding aryl partners. As a general solution to this problem, we report the Bi-mediated oxidative coupling of acidic diones and ortho-substituted arylboronic acids. Starting from a bench-stable bismacycle precursor, a sequence of B-to-Bi transmetallation, oxidation and C-C bond formation furnishes the arylated diones. Development of methodology that tolerates both sensitive functionality and steric demand is supported by interrogation of key reactive intermediates. Application of our strategy to cyclic diones enables the concise synthesis of important agrochemical intermediates which were previously prepared using toxic Pb reagents. This methodology also enables the first ever arylation of fluoroalkyl diones which, upon condensation with hydrazine, provides direct access to valuable fluoroalkyl pyrazoles.

The scope and practical utility of bismuth(V)-mediated electrophilic arylation have been greatly improved by the recent development of user-friendly protocols based on modular bismacycle reagents. Here, we report the scalable synthesis of a new bench-stable bismacycle bromide and demonstrate that it can be used as a "universal precursor" in electrophilic arylation. Relative to established syntheses of related bismacycles, the new protocol benefits from improved step- and vessel-economy, reduced production time, and the complete elimination of cryogenic temperatures and undesirable solvents (EtO and CHCl).

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to gain insight into the catalytic mechanism of the bismuth redox catalyzed fluorination of arylboronic esters to deliver the widely used arylfluoride compounds ( 2020, , 313-317). The study reveals that the whole catalysis can be characterized three stages: (i) transmetallation generates the Bi(iii) intermediate 5, capitalizing on the use of KF as an activator. (ii) 5 then reacts with the electrophilic fluorination reagent 1-fluoro-2,6-dichloropyridinium 4 oxidative addition to give the Bi(v) intermediate IM4A.

The synthesis, characterization, and photophysical properties of 4- and 6-coordinate Bi coordination complexes are reported. Bi(bzq) () and [Bi(bzq)]Br () (bzq = benzo[]quinoline) are synthesized by reaction of 9-Li-bzq with BiCl and BiBr, respectively. Absorption spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and DFT studies suggest that has 42% Bi 6s character in its highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) as a result of six σ* interactions with the bzq ligands.

The first total synthesis of a derivative of a 20-deoxybryostatin, namely 7-des-O-pivaloyl-7-O-benzylbryostatin 10 is described. Preliminary studies demonstrated that the modified Julia reactions of 2-benzothiazolylsulfones corresponding to the C17-C27 fragment with aldehydes corresponding to the C1-C16 fragment, provided an efficient and stereoselective assembly of advanced intermediates with the (E)-16,17-double-bond. The synthesis of the C1-C16 fragment was then modified so that the C1 acid was present as its allyl ester before the Julia coupling.
