Joint ITC and DFT Study of the Affinity of Some Lewis Bases to HIFP in Solution
HFIP, i.e. 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol, was found to be an exceptional medium,[1] either as solvent or co-solvent, that allows many reactions to occur.[2-5] However, the exact role and mode of action of HFIP in various chemical transformations still remains elusive. Despite many reports dealing with water/HFIP complexes, little has been published on other molecular complexes of HFIP as well as on thermochemistry of the formation of such complexes.[6]
Within this study the affinity of a series of eight different Lewis bases (3 sulfoxides, 3 Nsp2 pyridine derivatives, 1 aromatic amine, 1 cyclic aliphatic ether) to HFIP (as Lewis acid) is investigated
experimentally by Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) and theoretically using static DFT-D calculations. Measured ITC association enthalpy values ΔHaITC spanned -9.3 kcal/mol - -14
kcal/mol. Computations including a PCM implicit solvation model produced similar exothermicity of association of all studied systems - ΔHa values ranging -8.5 – -12.7 kcal/mol. In general, most of interaction energy is due to the hydrogen bonding and not due to formation of significantly strong halogen bonds. An additional set of calculations combining implicit and explicit solvation by chlorobenzene of the reactants, pointed out the relatively low interference of the solvent with the HFIPbase complexation, which main effect is to slightly enhance the Gibbs energy of the HFIP-Lewis base association. It is speculated that the interactions of bulk HFIP with Lewis bases therefore may significantly intervene in catalytic processes not only via the dynamic miscrostructuration of the medium but also more explicitly by affecting bonds’ polarization at the Lewis bases

Combining C-H functionalisation and flow photochemical heterocyclic metamorphosis (FP-HM) for the synthesis of benzo[1,3]oxazepines
C-H Activation/functionalisation and Flow Photochemical Heterocyclic Metamorphosis (FP-HM) have been combined to synthesize a library of benzo[1,3]oxazepines, a rarely described heterocyclic family. This combined protocol allows
a range of arylated products to be made from simple starting materials, and the cheap flow photochemical system has proven
effective for rapid synthesis of gram-quantities of benzo[1,3]oxazepines
Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Dearomatizing (3+2) Annulation of 2-Alkenylphenols and Alkynes
Appropriately substituted 2-alkenylphenols undergo a mild formal [3C+2C] cycloaddition with alkynes when treated with a Rh(III) catalyst and an oxidant. The reaction, which involves the cleavage of the terminal C–H bond of the alkenyl moiety and the dearomatization of the phenol ring, provides a versatile and efficient approach to highly appealing spirocyclic skeletons and occurs with high selectivityWe thank the financial support provided by the Spanish Grants SAF2010-20822-C02 and CSD2007-00006 Consolider Ingenio 2010, the Xunta de Galicia Grants GR2013-041 and EM2013/036, the ERDF, and the European Research Council (Advanced Grant No. 340055).

A steric tethering approach enables palladium-catalysed C-H activation of primary amino alcohols.
Aliphatic primary amines are a class of chemical feedstock essential to the synthesis of higher-order nitrogen-containing molecules, commonly found in biologically active compounds and pharmaceutical agents. New methods for the construction of complex amines remain a continuous challenge to synthetic chemists. Here, we outline a general palladium-catalysed strategy for the functionalization of aliphatic C-H bonds within amino alcohols, an important class of small molecule. Central to this strategy is the temporary conversion of catalytically incompatible primary amino alcohols into hindered secondary amines that are capable of undergoing a sterically promoted palladium-catalysed C-H activation. Furthermore, a hydrogen bond between amine and catalyst intensifies interactions around the palladium and orients the aliphatic amine substituents in an ideal geometry for C-H activation. This catalytic method directly transforms simple, easily accessible amines into highly substituted, functionally concentrated and structurally diverse products, and can streamline the synthesis of biologically important amine-containing molecules.We are grateful to the Marie Curie Foundation (D.P. & J.C.), EPSRC (T.W.G.), the ERC (V.D.), and the ERC and EPSRC for Fellowships (M.J.G.).

Allylic Oxidation of Alkenes Catalyzed by a Copper−Aluminum Mixed Oxide
A strategy for the allylic oxidation of cyclic alkenes with a copper−aluminum mixed oxide as catalyst is presented. The reaction involves the treatment of an alkene with a carboxylic acid employing tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant. In all cases, the corresponding allylic esters are obtained. When L-proline is employed, the allylic alcohol or ketone is obtained. The oxidation of cyclohexene and valencene has been optimized by design of experiments (DoE) statistical methodology
