Catalytic vs. Uncatalyzed [2+2] Photocycloadditions of Quinones with Alkynes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photoreactions of quinones with alkynes under catalytic and non-catalytic conditions were studied. Contrary to recent reports, simple irradiation blue light is sufficient trigger the [2+2] photocycloadditions, which afford...

The catalytic hydroamination of alkynes.
The direct addition of ammonia or primary and secondary amines to non-activated alkenes and alkynes is potentially the most efficient approach towards the synthesis of higher substituted nitrogen-containing products. It represents the most atom economic process for the formation of amines, enamines and imines, which are important bulk and fine chemicals or building blocks in organic synthesis. ...
متن کاملUnveiling the uncatalyzed reaction of alkynes with 1,2-dipoles for the room temperature synthesis of cyclobutenes.
2-(Pyridinium-1-yl)-1,1-bis(triflyl)ethanides have been used as 1,2-dipole precursors in a metal-free direct [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of alkynes. Starting from stable zwitterionic pyridinium salts, the electron deficient olefin 1,1-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)ethene is generated in situ and immediately reacted at room temperature with an alkyne to afford substituted cyclobutenes. Remarkably...
متن کاملPhotocycloadditions and photorearrangements
Organic synthesis using light as reagent and producing complex molecules from simple starting materials is realized in exemplary fashion in natural photosynthesis. Mankind still struggles for an efficient molecular system that mimics this natural process. In order to harvest light energy and to transform it into chemical energy, photochemical reactions must be studied and optimized for syntheti...
متن کاملA functional-group-tolerant catalytic trans hydrogenation of alkynes.
Against the rules: during the hundred years following Sabatier's groundbreaking work on catalytic hydrogenation, syn delivery of the H atoms to the π system of a substrate remained the governing stereochemical rule. An exception has now be found with the use of cationic [Cp*Ru] templates, which accounts for the first practical, functional-group-tolerant, broadly applicable and highly E-selectiv...
متن کاملCatalytic aerobic oxidation of phenols to ortho-quinones with air-stable copper precatalysts.
A range of air-stable copper species was examined for catalytic activity in the catalytic aerobic transformation of phenols into ortho-quinones. Efficient catalysis was obtained with commercially available copper(II) acetate. The stability of all constituents before mixing makes for a practical process that advances previously reported copper(I)-based oxygenations.
