A Fe(NO)-mediated ring-opening arylation of cyclopropanol with the electron-rich pyrrole has been developed, which might proceed through oxidative radical ring opening of cyclopropanol followed by cyclization to the pyrrole motif and then aromatization. This method enables direct arylation of cyclopropanol without prefunctionalization and thus allows rapid access to a diverse array of chiral 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroindolizines from easily available chiral amino acid esters. The synthetic utility has been demonstrated by the asymmetric synthesis of alklaoids (-)-indolizidine 167B, (+)-indolizidine 209D, (+)-monomorine I, and a natural product analogue.

Tricyclic 6-7-6 and 6-8-6 carbon ring systems are present in numerous biologically active natural molecules. However, simple and efficient synthetic approaches to these scaffolds remain challenging. Herein, we report a versatile strategy for constructing these ring systems via Fe(NO)-triggered radical arylation of arenes starting from cyclopropanols.

ConspectusThe Barton-McCombie deoxygenation reaction first established the use of -alkyl thiocarbonyl derivatives as powerful redox-active agents for C(sp)-O reduction. In recent years, first-row transition metals capable of engaging with alkyl radical intermediates generated from -alkyl thiocarbonyl derivatives using alternative stoichiometric radical precursors have been developed. Given the ability of select Ni catalysts to both participate in single-electron oxidative addition pathways and intercept alkyl radical intermediates, our group has investigated the use of -alkyl thiocarbonyl derivatives as electrophiles in novel cross-coupling reactions.

The enantioselective functionalization and transformation of readily available cyclopropyl compounds are synthetically appealing yet challenging topics in organic synthesis. Here we report an asymmetric β-arylation of cyclopropanols with aryl bromides enabled by photoredox and nickel dual catalysis. This dual catalytic transformation features a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance at room temperature, providing facile access to a wide array of enantioenriched β-aryl ketones bearing a primary alcohol moiety in good yields with satisfactory enantioselectivities (39 examples, up to 83% yield and 90% ee).
