Short syntheses of (−)-clavaminol A and deacetyl (+)-clavaminol H

Concise stereoselective syntheses of (?)-clavaminol A and deacetyl (+)-clavaminol H have been achieved from simple starting materials. Highlights of the synthesis for (?)-clavaminol A include a highly diastereoselective chelation-controlled hydride reduction of an amino ketone to give the anti amino alcohol directly, and NaBH₄-mediated dehalogenation. The main synthetic approach for deacetyl (+)-clavaminol H features a highly diastereoselective chelation-controlled hydride reduction of the amino ketone to construct the anti amino alcohol and a palladium catalyzed hydrogenation reaction at the final step.     

Advances in Electrochemical Decarboxylative Transformation Reactions

Owing to their non-toxic, stable, inexpensive properties, carboxylic acids are considered as environmentally benign alternatives as coupling partners in various organic transformations. Electrochemical mediated decarboxylation of carboxylic acid has emerged as a new and efficient methodology for the construction of carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds. Compared with transition-metal catalysis and photoredox catalysis, electro-organic decarboxylative transformations are considered as a green and sustainable protocol due to the absence of chemical oxidants and strong bases. Further, it exhibits good tolerance with various functional groups. In this Minireview, we summarize the recent advances and discoveries on the electrochemical decarboxylative transformations on C−C and C−heteroatoms bond formations.     

Light-Driven Syngas Production over Defective ZnIn2S4 Nanosheets

Photocatalytic syngas (CO and H₂) production with CO₂ as gas source not only ameliorates greenhouse effect, but also produces valuable chemical feedstocks. However, traditional photocatalytic systems require noble metal or suffers from low yield. Here, we demonstrate that S vacancies ZnIn₂S₄ (V_S-ZnIn₂S₄) nanosheets are an ideal photocatalyst to drive CO₂ reduction into syngas. It is found that building S vacancies can endow ZnIn₂S₄ with stronger photoabsorption, efficient electron–hole separation, and larger CO₂ adsorption, finally promoting both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR). The syngas yield of CO and H₂ is therefore significantly increased. In contrast to pristine ZnIn₂S₄, the syngas yield over V_S-ZnIn₂S₄ can be improved by roughly ≈4.73 times and the CO/H₂ ratio is modified from 1:4.18 to 1:1. Total amount of syngas after 12 h photocatalysis is as high as 63.20 mmol g⁻¹ without use of any noble metals, which is even higher than those of traditional noble metal-based catalysts in the reported literatures. This work demonstrates the critical role of S vacancies in mediating catalytic activity and selectivity, and highlights the attractive ability of defective ZnIn₂S₄ for light-driven syngas production.     

Tuning the Regioselective Functionalization of Trifluoromethylated Dienes via Lanthanum-Mediated Single C−F Bond Activation

The development of new fluorine-containing building blocks and their efficient synthetic access is currently a challenging research field. Herein, the highly regio- and stereoselective addition of a large range of aldehydes onto trifluoromethylated benzofulvenes was achieved using a simple La/I₂/DIBAL-Cl system via a selective C−F bond activation process. This versatile methodology provided homodienyl alcohols bearing a terminal CF₂-alkene with potential further applications, as shown by the dehydration to the first benzofulvenes carrying a difluorovinyl group. In addition, for certain electron-poor aldehydes, unprecedented ipso substitution of the CF₃ group in a diene was observed, which, according to DFT studies, is related to the presence of the large, Lewis-acidic lanthanum metal.

Mechanistic Investigation on Chemiluminescent Formaldehyde Probes

A first-generation pair of chemiluminescent formaldehyde (FA) probes (CFAP540 and CFAP700) was reported recently. CFAP540 and CFAP700, with high selectivity and sensitivity to FA, are, respectively, suitable in cell and in vivo. Experimentalists have confirmed that both probes utilize a general 2-aza-Cope FA-reactive trigger and a chemiluminogenic phenoxydioxetane scaffold. The mechanism and detailed process of CFAP chemiluminescence (CL) remain largely unknown. In the present paper, (time-dependent) density functional theory calculations are performed on the entire reaction process of CFAP540 with FA to produce CL. The calculations elucidated the CL-producing process: FA initiates the decomposition of CFAP540 by dehydration condensation, and a phenoxy 1,2-dioxetane is formed through a series of reactions of aza-Cope rearrangement, hydrolysis of imine, and β-elimination of alkoxyl group. Afterwards, the produced phenoxy 1,2-dioxetane decomposes to produce the m-oxybenzoate derivative in the first singlet state (S₁) via two crossings between potential energy surfaces of the ground state (S₀) and S₁ state. This m-oxybenzoate derivative was assigned as the light emitter of the CFAP540 CL. The CL-producing process and assignment of the light emitter of CFAP700 CL are similar with the corresponding ones of CFAP540. By analyzing the D-π-A architecture of the light emitters of CFAP540 and CFAP700, a series of CFAPs is theoretically designed and a scheme to modulate their CL from visible to near-infrared region is proposed by adjusting the length and structure of the π-bridge.
