Copper-Catalyzed Intermolecular Heck-Like Coupling of Cyclobutanone Oximes Initiated by Selective C-C Bond Cleavage
1State Key Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing, 210093, China.
Abstract:
The first example of intermolecular olefination of cyclobutanone oximes with alkenes via selective C-C bond cleavage leading to the synthesis of nitriles in the presence of a cheap copper catalyst is reported. The procedure is distinguished by mild and safe reaction conditions that avoid ligand, oxidant, base, or toxic cyanide salt. A wide scope of cyclobutanones and olefin coupling components can be used without compromising efficiency and scalability. The alternative visible-light-driven photoredox process for this coupling reaction was also uncovered.

Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
