Fe-Catalyzed Reductive Coupling of Unactivated Alkenes with β‑Nitroalkenes

An Fe-catalyzed reductive coupling of unactivated alkenes with β-nitroalkenes has been developed. The reaction proceeds through a radical pathway, with β-nitroalkenes serving as the vinylating reagents and the nitro group being cleaved in the process. Therefore, this method provides a viable synthetic approach to valuable secondary- and tertiary-alkylated styrene derivatives. Furthermore, control experiments were conducted and a plausible mechanism is proposed

Facile Synthesis of Isoindolinones via Rh(III)-Catalyzed One-Pot Reaction of Benzamides, Ketones, and Hydrazines

A Rh­(III)-catalyzed one-pot reaction of benzamides, ketones, and hydrazines for facile access to isoindolinones is reported. In this method, various ketones are transformed into donor–donor diazo compounds, which sequentially engage in insertion with benzamides under Rh­(III) catalysis to generate <i>N</i>-substituted quaternary isoindolinones

Silver(I)-Mediated Phosphorylation/Cyclization Cascade of <i>N</i>‑Cyanamide Alkenes for Divergent Access to Quinazolinones and Dihydroisoquinolinones

A silver­(I)-mediated phosphorylation/cyclization radical cascade of <i>N</i>-cyanamide alkenes has been developed. The addition of in situ generated phosphorus radical to <i>N</i>-cyanamide alkenes triggers the cascade, resulting in late-stage cyclization toward divergent access to 4-quinazolinones and dihydroisoquinolinones. Both terminal and internal <i>N</i>-cyanamide alkenes are applicable in this protocol, and the cyclizations are consistent with Baldwin’s rule
