Visible-Light-Induced Three-Component Radical Coupling of Selenocarbamates, Enones, and Allylstannanes with Diphenyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine Oxide

Abstract

A blue LED-induced three-component coupling of a carbamoyl radical, cyclic enone, and allylstannane was developed. The use of blue LEDs and diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (TPO) as a radical initiator permitted the three-component radical coupling to proceed with a high chemoselectivity. An elucidation of the mechanism revealed a pathway for the formation of a tributyltin radical from TPO and allylstannane. This tandem radical reaction is expected to be applicable in natural-product synthesis.

Key words

The mixture was degassed again for 5 min, cooled to 3 °C, and irradiated with 40 W blue LED, at a distance of ~8 cm from the vessel, under a fan at 3 °C for 1 h. Because residual 1d was still present, additional TPO (129 mg, 0.370 mmol) was added, and the mixture was again irradiated as above; this process was performed up to three times until 1d disappeared. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was purified by column chromatography [silica gel (40 g) + K₂CO₃ (10 g), acetone–toluene (1:3)] to afford an inseparable mixture of 4d and 5a as a colorless oil; yield: 763.1 mg (anti-4d: 2.18 mmol, 59%; syn-4d: 0.546 mmol, 15%; 5a: 0.742 mmol, 20%).

• 22 Telluride compounds are known to generate radical species more readily than selenide compounds. We attempted to prepare the telluride 1d-Te (Figure 1), but it was too labile, and we could not obtain it.
