The SmI2-H2O reagent system mediates challenging 5-exo/6-exo lactone radical cascade cyclisations that deliver carbo[5.4.0]bicyclic motifs in a diastereoselective, one-pot process that establish two new carbocyclic rings and four ste

2,4,6-Trichlorophenol (TCP) is an environmental contaminant that is toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic. We have investigated peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of TCP as an alternative pathway of TCP bioactivation using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a model peroxidase. TCP was shown to function as a reducing substrate for HRP as evidenced by TCP-dependent, HRP-catalyzed reduction of 5-phenyl-4-penten-1-yl hydroperoxide (PPHP) to its corresponding alcohol. In addition, TCP was shown to undergo hydroperoxide (H2O2, ethyl hydroperoxide, or PPHP)-dependent metabolism as evidenced by electronic absorption spectroscopic analysis of reaction mixtures. A single major product was detected by reverse phase HPLC and was identified as 2,6- dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (2,6-dichloro-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione, CAS no. 697-91-6) on the basis of electronic absorption spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and cochromatography with synthetic standard. In addition, HRP- catalyzed oxidation of TCP yielded EPR-detectable phenoxyl radical intermediates whose EPR spectrum consisted of a 1:2:1 triplet characterized by proton hyperfine coupling constants a(H(3,5)) = 2.35 gauss. Mechanisms for the hydroperoxide-dependent, HRP-catalyzed oxidation of TCP are proposed that are consistent with these results.

A mild Rh-catalyzed method for synthesis of cyclic unprotected N-Me and N-H 2,3-aminoethers using an olefin aziridination-aziridine ring-opening domino reaction has been developed. The method is readily applicable to the stereocontrolled synthesis of a va

We report a catalytic, light-driven method for the intramolecular hydroetherification of unactivated alkenols to furnish cyclic ether products. These reactions occur under visible-light irradiation in the presence of an IrIII-based photoredox catalyst, a Br?nsted base catalyst, and a hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) co-catalyst. Reactive alkoxy radicals are proposed as key intermediates, generated by direct homolytic activation of alcohol O?H bonds through a proton-coupled electron-transfer mechanism. This method exhibits a broad substrate scope and high functional-group tolerance, and it accommodates a diverse range of alkene substitution patterns. Results demonstrating the extension of this catalytic system to carboetherification reactions are also presented.
