The cylcohexanol/cyclohexanone ratios of 4.9 : 5.1 point to a metal-based rather than radical-driven oxidation pathway.10a The complexes (A) and (B) also catalysed the enantioselective epoxidation of various olefins with AcOOH and H2O2/AcOH with high efficiency (up to 1000 turnover numbers (TONs)).10b The Mn complex with (N-methyl-N-((1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2- yl)methyl)((S)-1-((1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl)meth- anamine) is reported to catalyse the oxygenation of secondary benzylic and aliphatic C–H bonds in the presence of an acetic acid additive with the predominant formation of ketones (up to 154 TON).11 Further insights into the hydrogen-abstraction mechanism and oxygen-transfer step have been provided by a study involving the complex B and the complexes with the lig- ands 4-methoxy-2-((2-(1-((4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)pyrrolidin-2- yl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl)-3,5-dimethylpyridine and 2-((2-(1-((4-(dimethylamino)-3,5- dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl)-N,N,3,5-tetra- methylpyridin-4-amine.12 The review on Pd(II)-catalysed oxidation of alkenes is focused mainly on (i) oxidations that proceed via cleavage of allylic C–H bond and the formation of a -allyl complex, 3 Oxidation and Reduction 109 (ii) Wacker-type oxidations that proceed via nucleopalladation followed by -hydride elimination, and (iii) 1,2-difunctionalization of alkenes that proceeds via nucleopalla- dation followed by functionalization of the resulting -alkylpalladium(II) intermediate. The mechanisms of each type of reactions are discussed with their scope and limitations for formation of new C–O or C–N bonds.13 The digest ‘Transition-metal-catalysed etherification of unactivated C–H bonds’ summarizes recent advances using different directing groups and catalyst systems for C(sp2)–H and C(sp3)–H bond activation. Despite the advances made, there are still some reactions that suffer from limited substrate scope, harsh reaction conditions, high catalyst loading, and the use of synthetically restricted directing groups. Some of the fundamental challenges such as (i) the development of an efficient catalyst system for the alkoxylation of unactivated C(sp3)–H bonds, (ii) the application of these transformations into the total synthesis of natural products, and (iii) an insightful understanding of the detailed mechanism that could help to design more efficient catalyst systems are yet to be addressed.14 Recent advances in the synthesis of chiral building blocks that use rhodium-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins are discussed in a digest letter. Examples that have broadened the scope of the hydrogenation of enamides and enol esters are discussed in the first part, and the hydrogenation of substrates such as unsaturated carboxylic acids, nitroderivatives, or phosphonates, among others, are focused in the second part.15 A review titled ‘Quinone-catalysed selective oxidation of organic substrates’ focuses on the catalytic reactivity of quinones with high reduction potential, namely (2,3-dichloro- 5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ)) and chloranil, which operate through a hydride abstraction mechanisms and typically react with electron-rich substrates capable of stabilizing carbocationic intermediates. The examples of single-electron transfer and addition–elimination reactions are also implicated with these quinones. Differences in the reactivity between DDQ and chloranil are typically rationalized on the basis of their differential reduction potentials, but the findings in the literature suggest that reactivities observed across diverse quinone structure types do not exhibit simple linear free-energy correlations. Instead, the reactivity is closely linked to the reaction pathways accessible to the different quinone structures. The second class of quinone consists of o-quinone catalysts that are shown to be com- patible with electrochemical and aerobic catalytic turnover. Mechanistic studies have shown that these quinones engage in electrophilic reaction pathways such as transam- ination and addition–elimination mechanisms, which introduce kinetically accessible pathways not readily available to the more oxidizing p-quinones. There has been signifi- cant progress in developing catalytic methods where the quinone is used in combination with a more desirable terminal oxidant.16 A brief summary of the recent developments in I2-catatalysed oxidative coupling reac- tions that utilize C–H and X–H (X = C, N, O, S, P, etc.) as nucleophiles and of the dif- ferent roles of the catalyst is presented in a review. The authors feel that enantioselective intermolecular reactions could be a promising development in future. The reaction con- ditions are generally mild and the compatibility of the substrate is good. Examples are considered with KI, n-Bu4NI (TBAI), I2, and different iodoarenes as the most used cat- alysts, while t-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA), H2O2, and AcOOH are the mostly used oxidants. Various reaction mechanisms are 110 Organic Reaction Mechanisms 2015 discussed in which different iodine species act as key intermediates. The mechanistic role of iodine catalysts is still largely unclear, though direct evidence of the reaction mechanism is available in a few examples.17

Published 2012 by Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. j3 1 Introduction – Principles and Historical Landmarks of Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis Harald Gr€oger and Yasuhisa Asano 1.1 General Remarks Enzyme catalysis in organic synthesis – behind this term stands a technology that today is widely recognized as a first choice opportunity in the preparation of a wide range of chemical compounds. Notably, this is true not only for academic syntheses but also for industrial-scale applications [1]. For numerous molecules the synthetic routes based on enzyme catalysis have turned out to be competitive (and often superior!) compared with classic chemicalaswellaschemocatalyticsynthetic approaches. Thus, enzymatic catalysis is increasingly recognized by organic chemists in both academia and industry as an attractive synthetic tool besides the traditional organic disciplines such as classic synthesis, metal catalysis, and organocatalysis [2]. By means of enzymes a broad range of transformations relevant in organic chemistry can be catalyzed, including, for example, redox reactions, carbon–carbon bond forming reactions, and hydrolytic reactions. Nonetheless, for a long time enzyme catalysis was not realized as a first choice option in organic synthesis. Organic chemists did not use enzymes as catalysts for their envisioned syntheses because of observed (or assumed) disadvantages such as narrow substrate range, limited stability of enzymes under organic reaction conditions, low efficiency when using wild-type strains, and diluted substrate and product solutions, thus leading to non-satisfactory volumetric productivities.

Abstract: In this review, we present an assessment of recent advances in alkyne functionalization reactions, classified according to different classes of recyclable catalysts. In this work, we have in- corporated and reviewed the activity and selectivity of recyclable catalytic systems such as polysiloxane- encapsulated novel metal nanoparticle-based catalysts, silica–copper-supported nanocatalysts, graphitic carbon-supported nanocatalysts, metal organic framework (MOF) catalysts, porous organic frame- work (POP) catalysts, bio-material-supported catalysts, and metal/solvent free recyclable catalysts. In addition, several alkyne functionalization reactions have been elucidated to demonstrate the success and efficiency of recyclable catalysts. In addition, this review also provides the fundamental knowl- edge required for utilization of green catalysts, which can combine the advantageous features of both homogeneous (catalyst modulation) and heterogeneous (catalyst recycling) 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.
