How To Enhance the Efficiency of Breslow Intermediates for SET

Florian F. Mulks et al.

Summary: Using computational methods, the redox potentials of BI-s derived from different types of stable carbenes were assessed, and the key parameters influencing the catalytic cycle were studied. It was found that most carbenes have higher reducing powers than thiazol-2-ylidene 1 and the 1,2,4-triazolylidene 2. The solvent polarity influences the reducing power of BI-s, but the redox potential of the oxidant increases at a greater rate, facilitating the reaction. The cation associated with the base also plays a role, especially in nonpolar solvents, with large and weakly coordinating cations being beneficial. Based on the results, mesoionic carbene 3 and abnormal NHC 4 are suggested as promising candidates for oxidative carbene organocatalysis.

Carbene-Catalyzed Intermolecular Dehydrogenative Coupling of Aldehydes with C(sp(3))-H Bonds

Fen Su et al.

Summary: The development of catalyst-controlled methods for direct functionalization of two distinct C-H bonds is an appealing approach for C-C formations in synthetic chemistry. This article describes an organocatalytic approach using readily available aldehyde as acyl source, which allows for the straightforward acylation of C(sp(3))-H bonds involving dehydrogenative coupling of aldehydes with ether, amine, or benzylic C(sp(3))-H bonds. The developed method provides a wide range of ketones under mild conditions.

Enantioselective N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed α-Oxidative Coupling of Enals with Carboxylic Acids Using an Iodine(III) Reagent

Yuan-Yuan Xu et al.

Summary: The enantioselective alpha-oxidative coupling of enals with carboxylic acids was achieved by umpolung of an NHC-bound enolate with an iodine(III) reagent. The reaction produced alpha-acyloxyl-beta,gamma-unsaturated esters in good yields, with high regio- and enantioselectivities. The reaction involved the formation of an enol iodine(III) intermediate from the enolate with iodosobenzene, which changed the polarity of the enal's alpha-carbon from nucleophilic to electrophilic and facilitated the subsequent carboxylate addition.

Radical NHC Catalysis

Kun Liu et al.

Summary: Radical/radical cross-coupling reactions are efficient and direct methods for constructing chemical bonds. The widespread application of persistent radical effect (PRE) has been limited by the fact that the known types of transient radicals far outnumber the known types of persistent radicals. Recent research has focused on developing efficient cross-coupling reactions between transient radicals, and transition-metal catalysis has been successfully used to prolong radical lifetimes, enabling their utilization in formal radical/radical cross-couplings.

Critical Assessment of the Reducing Ability of Breslow-type Derivatives and Implications for Carbene-Catalyzed Radical Reactions**

Ludivine Delfau et al.

Summary: This study reported the synthesis of acyl azolium salts from various types of carbenes and the generation of their corresponding radicals and enolates, revealing the role of additives in the redox behavior of these compounds and correcting misconceptions about radical transformations of aldehyde derivatives. The reducing ability of enolates derived from certain carbenes was found to be underestimated, and catalytic intermediates were shown to transfer electrons efficiently at room temperature. Enol derivatives of certain carbenes were identified as powerful reducing agents.

Dipole-bound states and substituent effects of Breslow intermediates in the enolate form

Ming-Hsiu Hsieh et al.

Summary: Breslow intermediates exhibit different characteristics in their enol and enolate forms. Enol intermediates are unlikely to generate radicals without strong oxidants, while enolate intermediates may serve as precursors to radicals. Some intermediates have metastable dipole-bound states, and bulky, electron-withdrawing groups stabilize singlet ground states, aiding in the successful isolation of Breslow intermediates in experiments.

NHC-catalyzed covalent activation of heteroatoms for enantioselective reactions

Runjiang Song et al.

Summary: This review evaluates and summarizes the covalent activation of heteroatoms enabled by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organic catalysts for enantioselective reactions. Sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms can be activated in this manner to construct chiral carbon-heteroatom bonds with high optical enantioselectivities. The key lies in the formation of intermediates covalently bound to the NHC catalyst, in which the heteroatom of the substrate is activated as a nucleophilic reactive site.
