The discussion starts with an introduction to α-C–H functionalization strategies, emphasizing the generation of radical species.

The review is divided into two main sections: photocatalytic and electrocatalytic α-C–H functionalization. In the photocatalytic section, we classify the functionalization into photocatalyst-mediated and photocatalyst-free approaches. Photocatalyst-mediated functionalization is further categorized into four mechanisms: Nucleophilic substitution, Transition-metal complexing, Giese-type reaction, and Radical-radical cross-coupling. Photocatalyst-free functionalization focuses on the direct excitation of the substrate and the EDA complex pathways, with particular emphasis on the latter. The electrocatalytic section explores both direct and indirect electrolysis techniques, highlighting the role of redox mediators in the indirect approach. Each section critically analyzes recent research examples from the past five years. This review aims to elucidate the current state of α-C–H functionalization research and suggest promising directions for future investigations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":437,"journal":{"name":"Tetrahedron","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142128625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, we demonstrated that alkyl cyanoformates, such as methyl cyanoformate (Mander's reagent) or ethyl cyanoformate, can perform deoxycyanation on 1,3-diketones to deliver oxoalkenenitriles directly. This represents a significant departure from the typical reactivity of these reagents, which are predominantly used for the synthesis of β-ketoesters (α-acylation). By transitioning from lithium bases to amine-based bases, the selectivity of the acylation shifts from carbon to oxygen, yielding an enol carbonate intermediate. Density Functional Theory (DFT) investigations and <em>in vitro</em> experiments corroborate the synthetic outcome, namely, the synthesis of oxonitriles via deoxycyanation. The reaction mechanism was studied, revealing a series of sequential additions and eliminations consistent with the mechanistic proposal for the generation of a major byproduct, which poses one of the main drawbacks of this method.
