  • Electrochemistry and Photoredox Catalysis: a Comparative Evaluation in Organic Synthesis
    molecules Review Electrochemistry and Photoredox Catalysis: A Comparative Evaluation in Organic Synthesis Rik H. Verschueren and Wim M. De Borggraeve * Department of Chemistry, Molecular Design and Synthesis, KU Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 200F, box 2404, 3001 Leuven, Belgium; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +32-16-32-7693 Received: 30 March 2019; Accepted: 23 May 2019; Published: 5 June 2019 Abstract: This review provides an overview of synthetic transformations that have been performed by both electro- and photoredox catalysis. Both toolboxes are evaluated and compared in their ability to enable said transformations. Analogies and distinctions are formulated to obtain a better understanding in both research areas. This knowledge can be used to conceptualize new methodological strategies for either of both approaches starting from the other. It was attempted to extract key components that can be used as guidelines to refine, complement and innovate these two disciplines of organic synthesis. Keywords: electrosynthesis; electrocatalysis; photocatalysis; photochemistry; electron transfer; redox catalysis; radical chemistry; organic synthesis; green chemistry 1. Introduction Both electrochemistry as well as photoredox catalysis have gone through a recent renaissance, bringing forth a whole range of both improved and new transformations previously thought impossible. In their growth, inspiration was found in older established radical chemistry, as well as from cross-pollination between the two toolboxes. In scientific discussion, photoredox catalysis and electrochemistry are often mentioned alongside each other. Nonetheless, no review has attempted a comparative evaluation of both fields in organic synthesis. Both research areas use electrons as reagents to generate open-shell radical intermediates. Because of the similar modes of action, many transformations have been translated from electrochemical to photoredox methodology and vice versa.

Levinson Cornell University 2016 Part I: Fungi serve as a rich source of prenylated indole alkaloids, which exhibit important biological activities including antiproliferative, antibiotic, and antihelminthic properties. Their promise as therapeutics, coupled with their diverse and complex molecular architectures, have made prenylated indole alkaloids popular targets for synthetic chemists in order to probe their activities and develop new synthetic methods. Herein, we describe the first total synthesis of aspeverin, a unique bridged carbamate-containing prenylated indole alkaloid isolated from Aspergillus versicolor. We also describe the synthesis of a closely related congener, penicimutamide A, isolated from a mutant strain of Penicillium purpurogenum. These molecules belong to a recently described subclass of prenylated indoles thought to be degradation products of parent bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane congeners. In this research, we showcase a highly diastereoselective Diels−Alder cycloaddition, followed by an electrophilic Rawal arylation – reductive indolization to forge the pentacyclic scaffold of these natural products. A novel sequence for installation of a geminal dimethyl group was also developed.

  • A General N-Alkylation Platform Via Copper Metallaphotoredox and Silyl Radical Activation of Alkyl Halides
    ll Article A general N-alkylation platform via copper metallaphotoredox and silyl radical activation of alkyl halides Nathan W. Dow, Albert Cabre´, David W.C. MacMillan [email protected] Highlights General, room temperature N- alkylation via copper metallaphotoredox catalysis Broad reactivity across diverse alkyl bromides, N-heterocycles, and pharmaceuticals Convenient approach to N- cyclopropylation using easily handled bromocyclopropane Readily extended to functionalization of unactivated secondary alkyl chlorides Traditional substitution reactions between nitrogen nucleophiles and alkyl halides feature well-established, substrate-dependent limitations and competing reaction pathways under thermally induced conditions. Herein, we report that a metallaphotoredox approach, utilizing a halogen abstraction-radical capture (HARC) mechanism, provides a valuable alternative to conventional N-alkylation. This visible-light-induced, copper-catalyzed protocol is successful for coupling >10 classes of N-nucleophiles with diverse primary, secondary, or tertiary alkyl bromides. Moreover, this open-shell platform alleviates outstanding N-alkylation challenges regarding regioselectivity, direct cyclopropylation, and secondary alkyl chloride functionalization.

    O Chemistry 2600 Chapter 16 ! Bonds With Hidden Leaving Groups (sections 16.1-16.6 excluding 16.3.1 and 16.5.3 ) O Formation and Reactivity of Acetals • In Chapters 7 and 15 we saw how carbonyl compounds undergo addition reactions with nucleophiles. • We also saw how some of these reactions are reversible. • For example, recall the formation of a hydrate when an aldehyde or ketone reacts with water under acidic condition: 2 O Formation and Reactivity of Acetals • This reaction is reversible and after the loss of a leaving group, the carbonyl group is reformed: • Note that the oxygen that is lost could come from the initial carbonyl oxygen atom. • We say these molecules have a ‘hidden leaving group’. • This chapter explores the chemistry of the removal or replacement of these hidden leaving groups. 3 O Formation and Reactivity of Acetals • When an aldehyde/ketone reacts with an alcohol in the presence of acid, a hemiacetal is formed. • The only difference between hemiacetal formation and hydrate formation is the nucleophile (water vs alcohol). • Hemiacetals have a hidden leaving group and in the presence of alcohol and acid, react quickly to form an acetal. • Hemiacetal (tetrahedral carbon attached to –OH and –OR) • Acetal (tetrahedral carbon attached to two –OR groups) 4 O Formation and Reactivity of Acetals • Acetal formation: 5 O Formation and Reactivity of Acetals • Acetal formation is an equilibrium process, all the steps in the sequence can run in both directions. • When an acetal is converted to a carbonyl compound, the reaction is called hydrolysis because water is being used to break (lyse) the acetal.

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1604. 83 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0168-6. Organic electrode materials represent an intriguing alternative to their inorganic counterparts due to their sustainable and environmental-friendly properties. Their plastic character allows for the realization of light-weight, versatile and disposable devices for energy storage. Conducting redox polymers (CRPs) are one type of the organic electrode materials involved, which consist of a π-conjugated polymer backbone and covalently attached redox units, the so-called pendant. The polymer backbone can provide conductivity while it is oxidized or reduced (i. e., p- or n-doped) and the concurrent redox chemistry of the pendant provides charge capacity. The combination of these two components enables CRPs to provide both high charge capacity and high power capability.

  • Pyrazole Scaffold Synthesis, Functionalization, and Applications in Alzheimer’S Disease and Parkinson’S Disease Treatment (2011–2020)
    molecules Review Pyrazole Scaffold Synthesis, Functionalization, and Applications in Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease Treatment (2011–2020) Xuefei Li, Yanbo Yu and Zhude Tu * Department of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine, 510 S. Kingshighway Boulevard St. Louis, MO, 63110, USA; [email protected] (X.L.); [email protected] (Y.Y.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-314-362-8487 Abstract: The remarkable prevalence of pyrazole scaffolds in a versatile array of bioactive molecules ranging from apixaban, an anticoagulant used to treat and prevent blood clots and stroke, to bix- afen, a pyrazole-carboxamide fungicide used to control diseases of rapeseed and cereal plants, has encouraged both medicinal and organic chemists to explore new methods in developing pyrazole- containing compounds for different applications. Although numerous synthetic strategies have been developed in the last 10 years, there has not been a comprehensive overview of synthesis and the implication of recent advances for treating neurodegenerative disease. This review first presents the advances in pyrazole scaffold synthesis and their functionalization that have been published during the last decade (2011–2020). We then narrow the focus to the application of these strategies in the Citation: Li, X.; Yu, Y.; Tu, Z. development of therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, particularly for Alzheimer’s disease Pyrazole Scaffold Synthesis, (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Functionalization, and Applications in Alzheimer’s Disease and Keywords: pyrazole; synthesis; functionalization; heterocyclic; neurodegeneration; Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s Disease Treatment disease; Parkinson’s disease; inhibitor; antagonist; biological activity (2011–2020).
