Monofluoroalkenes are stable and lipophilic amide bioisosteres used in medicinal chemistry. However, efficient and stereoselective methods for synthesizing -monofluoroalkenes are underdeveloped. We envisage β-fluoro-vinyl iodonium salts (-FVIs) as coupling partners for the diverse and stereoselective synthesis of -monofluoroalkenes. Disclosed herein is the development and application of a silver(I)-catalyzed process for accessing a broad scope of ()-FVIs with exclusive -stereoselectivity and regioselectivity from alkynes in a single step. Experimental and computational studies provide insight into the mechanism of the catalytic cycle and the role of the silver(I) catalyst, and the reactivity of ()-FVIs is explored through several stereospecific derivatizations.

Synthesis of phosphate stabilised iodanes and their application in intramolecular aryl migrations.

Chem Commun (Camb)

December 2024

Institute for Organic and Analytical Chemistry, University of Bremen, Leobener Straße 7, 28359 Bremen, Germany.

A diverse set of hydroxy-benzo[]iodadioxaphosphinine oxides and derived diaryl iodonium salts are prepared and two examples are characterized by X-ray crystallography, featuring an out-of-plane geometry of the hypervalent bond for both compound classes. Treatment of the phosphate-stabilized diaryliodonium salts with Ca(OH) results in an efficient base-induced intramolecular aryl migration under aqueous conditions, yielding iodo-substituted diaryl ethers with yields up to 94%. Our findings highlight the synthetic potential of this previously underexplored compound class in organic transformations.

Oxydiazomethylation of Alkenes via Photoredox Catalysis.

Chemistry

November 2024

Key Laboratory of Functional Molecular Engineering of Guangdong Province, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, South China University of Technology, No. 381, Wushan Road, Tianhe district, Guangzhou, 510641, China.

α-Diazoesters belong to significantly important carbenoid precursors in synthetic chemistry. Diazomethylation-based difunctionalization of alkenes is highly valuable but remain nontrivial. Herein, we reported a general and modular approach for the direct 1,2-oxydiazomethylation of alkenes through visible-light photoredox catalysis.

Recent Progress in Synthetic Applications of Hypervalent Iodine(III) Reagents.

Chem Rev

October 2024

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Minnesota Duluth, Duluth, Minnesota 55812, United States.

Hypervalent iodine(III) compounds have found wide application in modern organic chemistry as environmentally friendly reagents and catalysts. Hypervalent iodine reagents are commonly used in synthetically important halogenations, oxidations, aminations, heterocyclizations, and various oxidative functionalizations of organic substrates. Iodonium salts are important arylating reagents, while iodonium ylides and imides are excellent carbene and nitrene precursors.

Transition-Metal-Free -Diarylations to Reach All-Carbon Quaternary Centers.

JACS Au

August 2024

Department of Organic Chemistry, Arrhenius Laboratory, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden.

Herein, we disclose a convenient protocol for the α-diarylation of carbon nucleophiles to yield heavily functionalized quaternary products. Diaryliodonium salts are utilized to transfer both aryl groups under transition-metal-free conditions, which enables an atom-efficient and high-yielding method with broad functional group tolerance. The methodology is amenable to a wide variety of carbon nucleophiles and can be utilized in late-stage functionalization of complex arenes.

Triphenylphosphine Oxide: A Versatile Covalent Functionality for Carbon Nanotubes.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

November 2024

Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, ETH Zürich, Vladimir-Prelog-Weg 1, 8093, Zürich, Switzerland.

Broadening the scope of functionalities that can be covalently bound to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is crucial for enhancing the versatility of this promising nanomaterial class in applied settings. Here we report the covalent linkage of triphenylphosphine oxide [PhP(O)] to SWCNTs, a hitherto overlooked surface functionality. We detail the synthesis and structural characterization of a new family of phosphine oxide-functionalized diaryliodonium salts that can facilitate direct PhP(O) transfer and afford novel SWCNTs with tunable PhP(O) content (SWCNT-P).
