摘要:
Reported herein is the design of a new catalytic paradigm by synergistically combining sequential paired electrosynthesis with halogen-bonding (XB) activation for the cyclization of organochlorides with olefins. This dual activation strategy enables rapid access to densely functionalized 2-alkylidene-tetrahydrofurans with exclusive Z-selectivities, which are challenging to be synthesized by other methods. 4,4'-Di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dtbbpy) showed an unprecedented reactivity as a XB acceptor to activate C-Cl bond by shifting its reduction potential positively by 220 mV. Distinctly different from previous electroreductions of C-Cl bonds relying upon high electrode potentials or matched redox properties between mediators and organochlorides, the XB activator employed herein has no limit on the abovementioned redox property matching but can lower the applied electrode potentials. The decreased operating potential allows broad functional group tolerance, which was highlighted by the late-stage functionalization of 11 examples of drugs and natural products-derived alkenes.
