Front Cover

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.

Efficient Visible-Light-Induced π-Extension of Perylene Tetraesters: An Investigation on Regioselectivity
Keisuke Fujimoto, Shingo Miyano, Kenshin Norizuki, Toshiyasu Inuzuka, Tetsuya Sengoku, and Masaki Takahashi
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.

Asymmetric Allylation of Aldoxime Derivatives with β-Amidoallylboronate in Water and Its Application to Divergent Synthesis of N-Hydroxy-γ-lactam and 1,2-Oxazinan-6-one
Tetsuya Sengoku, Wataru Anze, Naoya Hasegawa, Yuta Mizutani, Asahi Kubota, Toshiyasu Inuzuka, and Hidemi Yoda
ChemistrySelect 2024, 9, e202400120. (DOI: 10.1002/slct.202400120)

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.

Visible-light-induced reductive coupling of arylacetylenes with benzothiazole sulfones
Tetsuya Sengoku, Haruka Iwama, Takuma Shimotori, Keisuke Fujimoto, Toshiyasu Inuzuka, Koki Matsune, Hidemi Yoda
The Journal of Organic Chemistry 2023, 88, 12776-12782. (DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.3c01554)

The reductive coupling of alkyl or benzylic benzothiazole sulfones with arylacetylenes are performed in the presence of Hantzsch esters and K2CO3 under visible-light irradiation. The utility of this protocol is expanded to α-deuterative coupling using a deuterated Hantzsch ester, furnishing the corresponding alkenes with high deuterium incorporation.

Total synthesis and structural confirmation of (±)-spirocollequins A and B
Keita Ichikawa, Toshiyasu Inuzuka, Hidemi Yoda and Tetsuya Sengoku
Tetrahedron Letters 2022, 107, 154109. (DOI: 10.1016/j.tetlet.2022.154109)

The first total synthesis of antiplasmodial isoindolinone alkaloids, spirocollequins A and B, has been accomplished. The proposed structures of spirocollequins have been supported through the comparison of spectroscopic properties of the synthetic samples with those of natural products as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis using a synthetic precursor of spirocollequin B.
