Visible-Light-Induced Photoannulation of α-Naphthyl Cyclopropane Carboxylic Esters to Functionalized Dihydrophenalenes

Veronika Schmalz et al.

Summary: A general synthetic method for functionalized dihydrophenalenes using naphthyl-cyclopropane esters as starting materials has been discovered. The reaction involves visible light, Ir(Fppy)(3) as photocatalyst, BnNMe2 or DABCO as electron donor, HAT-catalyst, and proton source to achieve high yields of photoannulation products. Deuteration studies suggest a photoredox mechanism with photoreductive cyclopropane opening to form an enolate radical and subsequent aryl radical trapping.

Investigating Bicyclobutane-Triazolinedione Cycloadditions as a Tool for Peptide Modification

Brett D. Schwartz et al.

Summary: This study investigates the strain promoted cycloaddition reactions of acyl bicyclobutanes with triazolinedione reagents. The synthesis of novel peptide conjugates through cycloaddition reactions is facilitated by the orthogonally protected urazole building block. The additive-free and fully atom-economical nature of this transformation provides a promising starting point for the functionalization of biomolecules.

Intermolecular [2π+2σ]-photocycloaddition enabled by triplet energy transfer

Roman Kleinmans et al.

Summary: In this study, a new intermolecular [2+2]-photocycloaddition method using bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes as 2 sigma-electron reactants was reported. This reaction was realized by visible-light-mediated triplet energy transfer catalysis. The method allows for a simple, modular, and diastereoselective synthesis of bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes and extends to a-bonds, providing previously inaccessible structural motifs.

Photochemical Formal (4+2)-Cycloaddition of Imine-Substituted Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes and Alkenes

Alexander S. Harmata et al.

Summary: In this study, a new method to convert bicyclo[1.1.1]pentan-1-amines to polysubstituted bicyclo[3.1.1]heptan-1-amines through a photochemical reaction of an intermediate imine diradical was reported. Hydrolysis of the imine products provides complex, sp(3)-rich primary amine building blocks. This is the first reported method to convert the bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane skeleton to the bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane skeleton.

An intramolecular coupling approach to alkyl bioisosteres for the synthesis of multisubstituted bicycloalkyl boronates

Yangyang Yang et al.

Summary: This study presents a novel approach for the synthesis of multisubstituted BCPs via intramolecular cyclization, enabling the construction of underexplored multisubstituted BCPs from readily accessible cyclobutanones. The method demonstrates broad generality through the synthesis of a variety of other caged bicyclic molecules, highlighting the ability to enable the programmed and divergent synthesis of multisubstituted bicyclic hydrocarbons.

Diastereoselective Photoredox-Catalyzed [3+2] Cycloadditions of N-Sulfonyl Cyclopropylamines with Electron-Deficient Olefins

Dawn H. White et al.

Summary: The reaction described is a highly diastereoselective visible-light-induced [3 + 2] cycloaddition between N-sulfonyl cyclopropylamines and electron-deficient olefins, leading to the construction of trans-cyclopentanes with synthetically useful functional groups. This reaction proceeds via the oxidation of a sulfonamide aza-anion by an organic photocatalyst to generate a nitrogen-centered radical and subsequent 5-exo cyclization.

Min Zhu et al.

Summary: Visible-light-induced cycloaddition reactions initiated via energy-transfer processes provide a powerful method for constructing strained cyclic molecules. By engineering substrate structures and tuning reaction conditions, competitive reaction pathways can be well regulated under the scheme of dearomatization.
