Direct hydrogen atom transfer from a photoredox-generated Hantzsch ester radical cation to electron-deficient alkenes has enabled the development of an efficient formal hydrogenation under mild, operationally simple conditions. The HAT-driven mechanism is supported by experimental and computational studies. The reaction is applied to a variety of cinnamate derivatives and related structures, irrespective of the presence of electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents in the aromatic ring and with good functional group compatibility.

A fast and effective one-pot tandem process that generates Heck coupled products from readily available anilines via stable aryl diazonium tosylate salts was developed. The mild and simple procedure involves rapid formation of aryl diazonium salts using a polymer-supported nitrite reagent and p-tosic acid, followed by a base-free Heck-Matsuda coupling with acrylates and styrenes. Using 2-nitroanilines as substrates, the one-pot tandem process was extended for the direct synthesis of 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2-ones. In this case, following diazotization and Heck-Matsuda coupling to give methyl cinnamates, addition of hydrogen and reutilization of the palladium catalyst for reduction of the nitro group and hydrogenation of the alkene resulted in efficient formation of 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2-ones. The synthetic utility of this one-pot, four-stage process was demonstrated with the five-pot synthesis of a quinolinone-based sodium ion channel modulator.

We have developed a microwave-assisted catalytic Wittig reaction. In this paper, we give full account of the scope and limitations of this reaction. A screening of various commercially available phosphine oxides as precatalysts revealed Bu3P=O to be the most promising candidate. We tested 10 silanes for the in situ reduction of the phosphine oxide to generate Bu3P as the actual catalyst. Different epoxides were tested as masked bases. In this context, cyclohexene oxide as well as butylene oxide proved to be suitable. The reaction could be carried out at 125 C, but higher yields and E/Z selectivities were obtained at 150 °C. Under the optimised reaction conditions, more than 40 examples for the conversion of various aldehydes into the corresponding alkenes are reported. The products were obtained in yields of up to 88 with high E selectivities. Moreover, we also describe the further screening of several chiral phosphines as catalysts for the microwave-assisted enantioselective catalytic Wittig reaction. The scope and limitations of the microwave-assisted catalytic Wittig reaction have been evaluated with respect to the catalyst, silane, solvent, reaction conditions, and substrates.
