Searching for reaction in organic synthesis has been made much easier in the current age of computer databases. However, the dilemma now is which procedure one selects among the ocean of choices. Especially for novices in the laboratory, it becomes a daunting task to decide what reaction conditions to experiment with first in order to have the best chance of success. This collection intends to serve as an "older and wiser lab-mate" one could have by compiling many of the most commonly used experimental procedures in organic synthesis. With chapters that cover such topics as functional group manipulations, oxidation, reduction, and carbon-carbon bond formation, Modern Organic Synthesis in the Laboratory will be useful for both graduate students and professors in organic chemistry and medicinal chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.

Recent advances in the metal-catalyzed radical-type transformation of unactivated alkyl halides with C–C bond formation under photoinduced conditions are summarized. Usually, a broad reaction scope is observed including tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl halides, with good functional group compatibility.

<div>A nickel-catalyzed thiolation of aryl nitriles has been developed to access functionalized aryl thioethers. The ligand dcype (1,2 Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane) as well as the base KOtBu (potassium tert-butoxide) are essential to achieve this transformation. This scalable and practical process involves both a C–C bond activation and a C–S bond formation. Furthermore, this reaction shows a high functional-group tolerance and enables the late-stage functionalization of important molecules.</div>

<div> <div> <div> <p>There are relatively few methods that accom- plish the selective alkoxylation of sp3-hybridized C–H bonds, particularly in comparison to the numerous analogous strate- gies for C–N and C–C bond formation. We report a photo- catalytic protocol for the functionalization of benzylic C–H bonds with a wide range of readily available oxygen nucleo- philes. Our strategy merges the photoredox activation of arenes with copper(II)-mediated oxidation of the resulting benzylic radicals, which enables the introduction of benzylic C–O bonds with high site selectivity, chemoselectivity, and functional group tolerance. This method enables the late- stage introduction of complex alkoxy groups into bioactive molecules, providing a practical new tool with potential appli- cations in synthesis and medicinal chemistry. </p> </div> </div> </div>

The oxidation state of the redox non-innocent TAML (Tetra-Amido Macrocyclic Ligand) scaffold was recently shown to affect the formation of nitrene radical species on cobalt(III) upon reaction with PhI=NNs [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.9b11715]. For the neutral [Co<sup>III</sup>(TAMLsq)] complex this leads to the doublet (S = ½) mono-nitrene radical species [Co<sup>III</sup>(TAMLq)(N<sup>•</sup>Ns)], while a triplet (S = 1) bis-nitrene radical species [Co<sup>III</sup>(TAML<sup>q</sup>)(N<sup>•</sup>Ns)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>‒</sup> is generated from the anionic [Co<sup>III</sup>(TAML<sup>red</sup>)]<sup>‒</sup> complex. The one-electron reduced Fischer-type nitrene radicals (N<sup>•</sup>Ns<sup>‒</sup>) are formed through single (mono-nitrene) or double (bis-nitrene) ligand-to-substrate single-electron transfer (SET). In this work we describe the reactivity and mechanisms of these nitrene radical complexes in catalytic aziridination. We report that [Co<sup>III</sup>(TAML<sup>sq</sup>)] and [Co<sup>III</sup>(TAML<sup>red</sup>)]<sup>‒</sup> are both effective catalysts for chemoselective (C=C versus C‒H bonds) and diastereoselective aziridination of styrene derivatives, cyclohexene and 1-hexene under mild and even aerobic (for [Co<sup>III</sup>(TAML<sup>red</sup>)]<sup>‒</sup>) conditions. Experimental (Hammett plots, radical inhibition, catalyst decomposition tests) and computational (DFT, CASSCF) studies reveal that [Co<sup>III</sup>(TAML<sup>q</sup>)(N<sup>•</sup>Ns)], [Co<sup>III</sup>(TAML<sup>q</sup>)(N<sup>•</sup>Ns)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>‒</sup> and [Co<sup>III</sup>(TAML<sup>sq</sup>)(N<sup>•</sup>Ns)]<sup>–</sup> are key electrophilic intermediates in the aziridination reactions. Surprisingly, the electrophilic one-electron reduced Fischer-type nitrene radicals do not react as would be expected for nitrene radicals (i.e. via radical addition and radical rebound). Instead, nitrene transfer proceeds through unusual electronically asynchronous transition states, in which (partial) styrene substrate to TAML ligand (single) electron transfer precedes C-N coupling. The actual C-N bond formation processes are best described as involving a nucleophilic attack of the nitrene (radical) lone pair at the thus (partially) formed styrene radical cation. These processes are coupled to TAML-to-cobalt and cobalt-to-nitrene single-electron transfer, effectively leading to formation of an amido-[gamma]-benzyl radical (Ns–N–CH<sub>2</sub>–<sup>•</sup>CH–Ph) bound to an intermediate spin (S = 1) cobalt(III) center. Hence, the TAML moiety can be regarded to act as a transient electron acceptor, the cobalt center behaves as a spin shuttle and the nitrene radical acts as a nucleophile. Such a mechanism for (cobalt catalyzed) nitrene transfer was hitherto unknown and complements the known concerted and stepwise mechanisms for N-group transfer.

The field of heterocyclic chemistry has been revolutionized using transition metal catalysts in recent years. Various research groups have focused on the development of general protocols to achieve better functional group compatibilities and greater levels of molecular complexity under mild reaction conditions, using easily available starting substrates. The methodologies used earlier for their synthesis were less approachable to organic chemists because of their high cost, highly specified instrumentation and inconvenient methods. For both stereoselective and regioselective synthesis of five-membered nitrogen- containing heterocycles, cyclic reactions that are Ru-catalyzed have known to be very efficient. These methods have many advantages as compared to alternative pathways involved in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. In this review article, we concentrated on the synthesis of nitrogen-containing five-membered heterocycles in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst. This review mostly covers the literature published during the period from 1977-2019.

AbstractAn efficient ligand- and catalyst-free intramolecular S-arylation leading to the direct synthesis of indalothiochromen-4-ones from simple dithioesters under mild conditions has been developed. This method is particularly noteworthy given its experimental simplicity, high generality, and good functional group toleration.

A new, efficient copper-catalyzed C(sp2)–S formation of phenyl dithiocarbamates starting from aryl iodides and tetramethylthiuram monosulfide (TMTM) was developed. The target compounds, phenyl dithiocarbamates with active sites, were synthesized smoothly in good to excellent yields. The easy performance, high yields, decent functional group compatibility, and cost-effective substrates make the protocol practical and attractive in C–S bond formation.
