The Hantzsch ester anion acts not only as a photoreductant in the catalyst-free desulfurative coupling of alkyl benzothiazolyl sulfides with alkenes/alkynes, but also as a sacrificial reductant in an alternative organocatalytic reaction. The utility of this protocol is expanded to radical C-glycosylation, which includes a protective group-free substrate.

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2024, 27, e202400734. (DOI: 10.1002/ejoc.202400734)

This study reports a visible-light-induced π-extension of perylene tetraesters using blue LED irradiation. The synthesis revealed how substituent effects on aromatic groups influence regioselectivity. Theoretical analysis highlighted bond alteration in aromatic rings as a key factor.

A highly enantioselective amido–functionalized allylation of aldoxime derivatives was achieved in water using O-Boc oximes as substrates under Zn(OH)2-chiral aminophenol catalysis. The products could be transformed into N-hydroxy-γ-lactam or 1,2-oxazinan-6-one, through an acidic treatment or a protection-acidic treatment sequence, respectively.
