Abstract
Herein, aromaticity-driven thio(seleno)ester group transfer from novel 1,4-dihydropyridine thio(seleno)esters to alkene feedstocks is disclosed by merging palladium and photoredox catalysis. In this process, photoactivation of dihydropyridine thio(seleno)esters is integrated with regioselective hydrometalation of alkenes, avoiding photoinduced Pd–C bond homolysis of organopalladium intermediates. Additionally, a regioselective hydroselenocarbonylation of an alkene is accomplished for the first time using a bench-stable selenoester reagent. The activation mode of novel dihydropyridine thioesters has been illustrated by detailed mechanistic studies, spectroscopic analysis, intermediate trapping, and isotope labeling experiments.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
