We have developed an efficient synthetic method for various TCCP and PCCP using tetracyanothiophene and sulfones, followed by substituent transformations. We conducted a series of application studies using our synthetic method for tetra- and pentacyanocyclopentadienides. NanoGoblin, the doll-shaped ion pair of TCCP, catalyzed methanolysis of the cyclic acetal in the anthropomorphic molecule NanoKid. The cyano groups of TCCP acted as hindrances to rotation of CAr-O bonds in 3,3′-BINOL esters. TCCP exhibited high lipophilicity, which was utilized in anionic phase transfer reactions and the ion-pair extraction of quaternary ammonium cations. Lastly, the weakly basic nature of PCCP was helpful in the Au/Ag-catalyzed cyclization-3-aza-Cope-Mannich cascade, enabling us to achieve the total synthesis of cephalotaxine.","PeriodicalId":17123,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Synthetic Organic Chemistry Japan","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134936030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these reactions have been developed mainly by using electro-negative elements such as C, O, N, halogens as well as transition-metals. On the other hand, we have revealed the nature of chemical species including electro-positive main-group elements, such as boron (B), silicon (Si), and tin (Sn), on the excited state, developing the highly reactive and selective photoinduced reactions. For diboron (B-B) reagents, we designed the anionic photo-absorbing borate complex to enable a quadruple borylation reaction of terminal alkynes under ultraviolet irradiation. For stannyl (Sn) species, we revealed that the illumination of stannyl anions generates the excited triplet stannyl diradicals, which showed the orthogonality to traditional reagents (cations, anions, and radicals) to enable hydrostannylation of alkynes and defluorostannylation of fluoroarenes. For silylborane (Si-B) reagents, we developed dearomative triple elementalization (carbo-silaboration) reactions of quinolines by the excitation of silyl-borate complexes without the need for any catalyst.","PeriodicalId":17123,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Synthetic Organic Chemistry Japan","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134934688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
