Tris(acetylacetonato) iron(III) [Fe(acac)3] is an indispensable reagent in synthetic chemistry. Its applications range from hydrogen atom transfer to cross-coupling reactions and to use as a Lewis acid. Consequently, the exceptional utility of Fe(acac)3 has been demonstrated in several total syntheses. This short review summarizes the applications of Fe(acac)3 in methodology and catalysis and highlights its use for the synthesis of medicinally relevant structures and in natural product syntheses.1 Introduction2 Hydrogen Atom Transfer (HAT)3 Oxidations and Radical Transformations4 Synthesis and Use of Alkynes and Allenes5 Cross-Couplings and Cycloisomerizations6 Borylations7 Miscellaneous Reactions8 Conclusions

A concise route to the common polyketide fragment5of crocacin A-D (1-4) is presented which has previously been converted into all members of this fungicidal and cytotoxic family of dipeptidic natural products by various means. Our synthesis features asyn-selective titanium aldol reaction controlled by a valinol-derived auxiliary, a zinc-mediated, palladium-catalyzedanti-selective addition of propargyl mesylate10to the chiral aldehyde9, as well as a comparison of palladium-catalyzed Stille and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions for the formation of the diene moiety of the target.

Herein we present a direct application of DABCO, an inexpensive and broadly accessible organic base, as a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) abstractor in a photocatalytic strategy for aldehyde C–H activation. The acyl radicals generated in this step were arylated with aryl bromides through a well stablished nickel cross-coupling methodology, leading to a variety of interesting aryl ketones in good yields. We also performed computational calculations to shine light in the HAT step energetics and determined an optimized geometry for the transition state, showing that the hydrogen atom transfer between aldehydes and DABCO is a mildly endergonic, yet sufficiently fast step. The same calculations were performed with quinuclidine, for comparison of both catalysts and the differences are discussed.

: Transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have always been very important in synthetic organic chemistry due to their versatility in forming all sorts of carbon-carbon and carbon-hetero atom bonds. Incorporation of ultrasound assistance to these protocols resulted in milder reaction conditions, faster reaction rates, etc. This review focuses on the contributions made by ultrasound-assisted protocols towards transition metal catalyzed crosscoupling reactions.

Amines and amides, as N-containing compounds, are ubiquitous in pharmaceutically active scaffolds, natural products, agrochemicals and peptides. Amides in nature bear key responsibility for three-dimensional structure, such as in proteins. Structural modifications to amines and amides, especially at their positions α- to N, bring about profound changes in biological activity oftentimes leading to more desirable pharmacological profiles of small molecule drugs. A number of recent developments in synthetic methodology for the functionalizations of amines and amides omit the need of directing groups or pre-functionalizations, achieving direct activation of the otherwise benign C(sp3)-H bond. Among these, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) has proven a very powerful platform for the selective activation of amines and amides to their α-amino and α-amido radicals, which can then be employed to furnish C-C and C-X (X=heteroatom) bonds. The ability to both form these radicals and control their reactivity in a site-selective manner is of utmost importance for such chemistries to witness applications in late-stage functionalization. Therefore, this review captures contemporary HAT strategies to realize chemo- and regioselective amine and amide α-C(sp3)-H functionalization, based on bond strength, bond polarity, reversible HAT equilibria, traceless electrostatic directing auxiliaries and steric effects of in situ-generated HAT agents.
