Herein, radical-mediated ring-opening and enantioselective cyanation of four- and five-membered cycloketone oxime esters was described to access chiral 1,5- and 1,6-dinitriles ArCHCN(CH2)nCN [R = Ph, 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, etc.; n = 2, 3] with R-stereochem. Employment of dual photoredox/copper catalysis was essential for the asym. ring-opening cyanation of cyclopentanone oxime esters. Both reactions proceeded under mild conditions giving chiral dinitriles in high yields and enantioselectivity with low catalyst loading and broad substrate scope. The products dinitriles could be converted to valuable optically active diamides and diamines. Mechanistic studies indicate that the benzylic radical generated via C-C single bond cleavage was involved in the catalytic cycle.
Nature Communications published new progress about C-C bond cleavage. 401-78-5 belongs to class bromides-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C7H4BrF3, Safety of 3-Bromobenzotrifluoride.
