In particular, the electrochemical C-H bonds functionalization is one of the most desirable approaches for the construction of carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-heteroatom (C-X) bonds. This review summarizes the substantial progress made in the last few years in C-H functionalization via organic electrochemistry. It is divided into sections on C-C, C-N, C-O, C-S, C-Halogen and C-P bond formation.展开更多

The kinetic isotope effect (kH/kD) was changed from 3.6 (under darkness) to 1.1 when irradiated by visible light, which indicated that the C-H functionalization step was the rate determining step under darkness and significantly accelerated by the irradia- tion of visible light. Finally the synthesis of ortho tetra-substituted vinylarene atropisomers with high enantiospecificity was realized via this protocol.展开更多

A Ni(Ⅱ)-dioxygen species formed in situ efficiently enable the oxidation process under mild conditions with a broad substrate scope with excellent functional group compatibilities,such as free carboxylic acid, aldehyde, halogen(including aryl iodide), amide and amino acid. The use of the nickel catalyst in combination with water provides a safe, green and economical method for oxidation of a range of molecules varying in complexity and drug derivatives, demonstrating its potential application in organic synthesis and the pharmaceutical industry. Reaction outcomes and mechanistic studies revealed the key role of the in situ Ni(Ⅱ)-dioxygen species for the subsequent oxidation of C(sp^(3))–H bonds,and short-lived reactive intermediates(aryl radical cation) was rapidly captured by the combination of a bipolar ultramicroelectrode(BUME) with nano-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.展开更多

文摘Nitrene transfer reactions are powerful tools in synthetic organic chemistry.In recent years,transitionmetal catalyzed nitrene transfer reactions with carbamates as the nitrene precursors have been widely pursued.Such species undergoes facile C-H amination,aziridination,and bifunctionalization of alkenes under the catalysis of different transition metals including Rh,Fe,Ru and others,enabling the efficient construction of various nitrogen-containing molecules.In this review,the recent developments in nitrene transfer reactions with carbamates via N-O bond cleavage were introduced based on different types of reaction,and the key mechanistic information and synthetic applications of the methodologies were discussed.
