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.

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.

Controllable monobromination of perylene ring system: synthesis of bay-functionalized perylene dyes
Masaki Takahashi, Kyohei Asaba, Trinh Thi Lua, Toshiyasu Inuzuka, Naohiro Uemura, Masami Sakamoto, Tetsuya Sengoku and Hidemi Yoda
The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2018, 83, 624-631. (DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.7b02540)

Practical synthesis of bay-monofunctionalized perylene dyes has been developed based on controllable NBS bromination of tetrabenzyl perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylate. The ability to perform the convenient and high-yielding synthesis highlights the potential utility of our multifunctional approach to access diverse range of new perylene systems.
