Article Abstract
Aryl-substituted aliphatic amines are widely recognized as immensely valuable molecules. Consequently, the development of practical strategies for the construction of these molecules becomes increasingly urgent and critical. Here, we have successfully achieved multifunctionalization reactions of alkenyl alcohols in a sequential relay process, which enables transformation patterns of arylamination, deuterated arylamination, and methylenated arylamination to the easy access of multifarious arylalkylamines. Notably, a novel functionalization mode for carbonyl groups has been developed to facilitate the processes of deuterium incorporation and methylene introduction, thereby providing new means for the diverse transformations of carbonyl groups. This methodology displays a wide tolerance toward functional groups, while also exhibiting good applicability across various skeletal structures of alkenols and amines.

A Three-Component Reaction of Alkenyl Thianthrenium Salts, Cyclopropanols and Sulfur Dioxide.

School of Pharmaceutical and Chemical Engineering, Taizhou University, Taizhou, 318000, China.
A three-component reaction of alkenyl thianthrenium salts, cyclopropan-1-ols and DABCO·(SO) under catalyst- and additive-free conditions, is accomplished. This sulfonylation with the insertion of sulfur dioxide works efficiently under very mild conditions, leading to a wide range of 1-substituted vinyl sulfones in moderate to good yields. In this protocol, the scope generality of alkenyl thianthrenium salts and cyclopropyl alcohols is demonstrated.

Amino alcohols are vital in natural products, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and as key building blocks for various applications. Traditional synthesis methods often rely on polar bond retrosynthetic analysis, requiring extensive protecting group manipulations that complicate direct access. Here we show a streamlined approach using a serine-derived chiral carboxylic acid in stereoselective electrocatalytic decarboxylative transformations, enabling efficient access to enantiopure amino alcohols.

Under iridium-catalyzed conditions, 2-aza-aryl-substituted secondary alcohols undergo C(sp)-H addition reactions to alkynes to provide alkenylated tertiary alcohols. The processes occur with very high regio- and enantioselectivity. An analogous addition to styrene is shown to provide a prototype C(sp)-H alkylation process.

A convenient electrochemical oxidative cascade cyclization of alkenes equipped with pendant alcohols with general nucleophiles was developed. Using readily available diarylmethanimine and carboxylic acids as nucleophilic sources, a broad range of internal alkene and terminal alkene substrates could produce RCO- and ArCN-functionalized -heterocycles in moderate to high yields without the requirement for external oxidants and metals. These resulting products can subsequently be hydrolyzed to yield valuable NH- and OH-functionalized tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyranes under mild conditions.

Here, we report a novel strategy for the preparation of diverse heterocycles via a Pd-catalyzed migratory 1,1-cycloannulation reaction (MCAR) of alkenes. Starting from readily available alkenyl amines and alkenyl alcohols, this approach allows the formation of a wide range of five- to seven-membered azaheterocycles and oxaheterocycles with high efficiency and good functional group tolerance. The key to the realization of this reaction is the use of 4-iodophenol or 2-iodophenol derivatives where the phenolic hydroxyl group plays a critical role in controlling the direction of migration and the ring-size of the heterocycles through the formation of a quinone methide intermediate.
