-
Preparations of diorgano(phtalocyaninato)silicon 1)(R2)> and their reactions with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), halogens, copper(II) halides, and 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) are reported.The alkyl-silicon bonds are readily cleaved by NBS, halogens, and CuX2 to give the corresponding alkyl halides.The reactivity of aryl-silicon bonds toward NBS and halogen depends greatly on the electronic effect of the substituent on the benzene ring, but these bonds are almost inert to CuX2.The reactivity of the carbon-silicon bond towards NBS cleavage decreases in the order 4-MeOC6H4 > n-C8H17 > 4-MeC6H4 > Ph >> 3-CF3C6H4.Cleavage of alkyl-silicon bonds may involv one-electron transfer from substrate to reagent and alkyl radical intermediates, while the electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism may operate in the cleavage of aryl-silicon bonds. are stable to MCPBA.

- Generation of interhalogen fluorides under mild conditions: A comparison of sluggish and reactive interhalogen fluorides
-
Interhalogen fluorides (XF; X = I, Br, or Cl) generated from xenon difluoride (XeF2) or triethylamine trihydrofluoride (TREAT HF) with iodine (I2), N-halosuccinimides (NXS; X = I, Br, or Cl), or alkylhypohalites (ROX; R = CH3 or t-Bu, X = Br or Cl) with alkenes and aromatics are reported. A comparison of the above reactions with other methods reported in the literature to generate interhalogen fluorides is made. Interhalogens generated from direct action of elemental fluorine (F2) or XF3 (X = I, Br, or Cl) with chlorine (Cl2), bromine (Br2), or iodine (I2) give a species that can react with electron-deficient alkenes or aromatics. These reagents are too reactive for electron-rich substrates. Interhalogen fluorides from reagents like NXS or ROX with XeF2 or amine HF are much less reactive and give good yields with electron-rich akenes or aromatics.

- Efficient one-pot transformation of aminoarenes to haloarenes using halodimethylisulfonium halides generated in situ
-
Halodimethylsulfonium halide 1, which is readily formed in situ from hydrohaloic acid and DMSO, is a good nucleophilic halide. This activated nucleophilic halide rapidly converts aryldiazonium salt prepared in situ by the same hydrohaloic acid and nitrite ion to aryl chlorides, bromides, or iodides in good yield. The combined action of nitrite ion and hydrohaloic acid in DMSO is required for the direct transformation of aromatic amines, which results in the production of aryl halides within 1 h. Substituted compounds with electron-donating or -withdrawing groups or sterically hindered aromatic amines are also smoothly transformed to the corresponding aromatic halides. The only observed by-product is the deaminated arene (usually 7%). The isolated aryldiazonium salts can also be converted to the corresponding aryl halides using 1. The present method offers a facile, one-step procedure for transforming aminoarenes to haloarenes and lacks the environmental pollutants that usually accompany the Sandmeyer reaction using copper halides.

Reactivity-structure correlations for anisole and eleven of its substituted derivatives established from bromination rate constants in liquid SO2, unlike observations in water, show the reaction to be highly sensitive to substituent effects, (ρ+H2O = -7.1; ρ+SO2 = -10.51).This result is ascribed to the solvation of the methoxy group which decreases the conjugation of para-substituted (ρ+O = -9.70) compared to that of ortho-substituted derivatives (ρ+p = -8.86).The highly solvated transition state lies far from reactants on the reaction coordinate and the positive charge developed in this state is nearly unity.

- Green halogenation reactions for (hetero)aromatic ring systems in alcohol, water, or no solvent
-
A new method of brominating aromatic and heteroaromatic ring systems is investigated. The combination of hydrobromic acid as the halogen source, hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant, and ethanol, water, or no solvent are evaluated as greener conditions than those that have been previously published. The new conditions give high yields and good regioselectivity for a variety of substrates when the ring is activated by electron-donating groups or heteroatoms. Phenols, anisole, thiophenes, and pyrrole give comparable or superior results when compared to a traditional bromination by N-bromosuccinimide in tetrahydrofuran. Other nitrogen-containing heterocycles do not react under the conditions because they are protonated and hence deactivated; similarly, substrates with electron-withdrawing groups are not brominated. The reaction is very tolerant of a variety of functional groups.

- A new recoverable Au(III) catalyst supported on magnetic polymer nanocomposite for aromatic bromination
-
This Letter presents a facile alternative synthesis of a recoverable Au(III) catalyst supported on Fe3O4@SiO 2～MPS grafted by poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP). The solid magnetic support was prepared by anchoring 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) onto the Fe3O4@SiO2 surfaces followed by free radical polymerization with N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone. Au(III) was immobilized onto the magnetic support in aqueous media to afford Au(III)/Fe 3O4@SiO2～PVP (catalyst 1). Catalyst 1 was characterized by FT-IR, TEM, VSM, TGA, XRD, and ICP-AES. The amount of Au in catalyst 1 was measured to be 0.64 wt % by ICP-AES. This newly prepared catalyst can catalyze the aromatic bromination reaction with comparable activity as homogeneous AuCl3. Moreover, the supported catalyst is easy to recover and can be used in four cycles without apparent loss of activity.

- Predicting the structure of supramolecular dendrimers via the analysis of libraries of AB3 and constitutional isomeric AB2 biphenylpropyl ether self-assembling dendrons
-
The synthesis of 4′-hydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic, 3′,4′- dihydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic, 3′,5′-dihydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic, and 3′,4′,5′-trihydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic methyl esters via three efficient and modular strategies including one based on Ni-catalyzed borylation and sequential cross-coupling is reported. These building blocks were employed in a convergent iterative approach to the synthesis of one library of 3,4,5-trisubstituted and two libraries of constitutional isomeric 3,4- and 3,5-disubstituted biphenylpropyl ether dendrons. Structural and retrostructural analysis of supramolecular dendrimers revealed that biphenylpropyl ether dendrons self-assemble and self-organize into the same periodic lattices and quasi-periodic arrays observed in previously reported libraries, but with larger dimensions, different mechanisms of self-assembly, and improved solubility, thermal, acidic, and oxidative stability. The different mechanisms of self-assembly led to the discovery of two new supramolecular structures. The first represents a new banana-like lamellar crystal with a four layer repeat. The second is a giant vesicular sphere self-assembled from 770 dendrons that exhibits an ultrahigh molar mass of 1.73 × 106 g/mol. Thus, the enhanced size of the self-assembled structures constructed from biphenylpropyl ether dendrons permitted for the first time discrimination of various molecular mechanisms of spherical self-assembly and elaborated a continuum between small filled spheres and very large hollow spheres that is dictated by the primary structure of the dendron. The comparative analysis of libraries of biphenylpropyl ether dendrons with the previously reported libraries of benzyl-, phenylpropyl-, and biphenyl-4-methyl ether dendrons demonstrated biomimetic self-assembly wherein the primary structure of the dendron and to a lesser extent the structure of its repeat unit determines the supramolecular tertiary structure. A "nanoperiodic table" of self-assembling dendrons and supramolecular dendrimers that allows the prediction of the general features of tertiary structures from primary structures was elaborated.

A simple and efficient one-pot protocol has been developed for the conversion of styrenes into 4-aryl-2-aminothiazoles using readily available starting materials. Tribromoisocyanuric acid was successfully used for the co-bromination and oxidation of styrenes to give phenacyl bromides, which in the presence of thioureas produced the corresponding 4-aryl-2-aminothiazoles in 48–70% yield. The protocol involves three reactions in one process: a tandem (formation of phenacyl bromides from styrenes) followed by a telescoped (conversion to thiazole) reaction.

- In situ acidic carbon dioxide/water system for selective oxybromination of electron-rich aromatics catalyzed by copper bromide
-
Carbon dioxide, being one of the major greenhouse gases responsible for global warming, its atmospheric level grows ever faster since the beginning of industrial era. Great efforts have been devoted to developing versatile technologies/processes to adjust and manipulate the rapid growth of CO 2 emission. Besides CO2 capture and storage/sequestration (CCS) to control its emission, chemical utilization of the captured CO 2 (CCU) emerges to be a rational technique for economical benefits as well as environmental concerns. As for the aim of CO2 utilization, an environmentally benign CO2/water reversible acidic system was developed for the copper (II)-catalyzed selective oxybromination of electron-rich aromatics without the need of any conventional acid additive and organic solvent. Notably, up to 95% yields of the bromination products were attained with good regio-selectivity when cupric bromide was used as the catalyst and lithium bromide as a cheap and easy handling bromine source under supercritical CO2. The catalytic system worked well for electron-rich aromatics including ethers, sulfides and mesitylene. Carbonic acid in situ formed from CO2 and water is supposed to act as the proton donator in the Bronsted acid-promoted reaction. Notably, CO2 in this study serves as a reaction medium and a promoter in conjunction with water and also provides safe environment for aerobic reactions. Given with excellent reaction efficiency as well as no need of neutralization disposal, this process thus represents an environmentally friendly approach for aerobic bromination of aromatics with essential reduction of CO2 emission as well as an economically beneficial way for application of captured CO2.

- Iodine(I) reagents in hydrochloric acid-catalyzed oxidative iodination of aromatic compounds by hydrogen peroxide and iodine
-
Hydrochloric acid activates the oxidative iodination of aromatic compounds with the iodine- hydrogen peroxide system through the formation of an iodine(I) compound as the iodinating reagent. Activation with hydrochloric acid is more powerful than that with sulfuric acid. The formation of dichloroiodic(I) acid (HICl2) with various forms of hydrogen peroxide was followed using UV spectroscopy. The HICl2 was used as the iodinating reagent. In the preparative oxidative iodinaton of various aromatic compounds, hydrochloric acid was used in a catalytic amount and the iodine(I) reagent was formed in situ with 0.5 equiv. hydrogen peroxide and 0.5 equiv. molecular iodine. Two types of reactivity were observed in oxidative iodination with iodine(I) species catalyzed by hydrochloric acid: in the iodination of anisole 1a better yields of iodination were observed with a smaller amount of hydrochloric acid, while on the contrary 4-tert-butyltoluene 1b gave better yields of iodination upon increasing the amount of hydrochloric acid. Reactivity was further manipulated by the choice of the solvent (MeCN, trifluoroethanol, hexafluoro-2-propanol). Copyright

- Vanadium-catalysed oxidative bromination using dilute mineral acids and hydrogen peroxide: An option for recycling waste acid streams
-
Vanadium pentoxide, V2O5, catalyses the two-electron oxidation of Br- to Br+, using aqueous hydrogen peroxide under dilute acidic conditions. In this system, kinetic studies show that HBr can be replaced with a combination of an alkali bromide salt (NaBr, KBr) and a dilute mineral acid (e.g., HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, H3PO4). The salt/acid/peroxide system may be used for in situ or ex situ oxidative bromination, e.g. of various aromatic compounds. The application of the above concept towards the recycling of industrial acid waste is discussed. The cost effectiveness, E factors, and hazard factors for several bromination and oxidative bromination reagent systems are compared.

Direct bromination and iodination of various aromatic compounds with NaBr and NaI using oxone (2KHSO5·KHSO4·K 2S04) in water was accomplished successfully in high-to-excellent yields. The main benefit of this protocol is the performance of the reactions in water in the presence of a harmless oxidant without the use of any organic cosolvents. Using NaBr and NaI as the safe sources of halogens is another advantage of the protocol. This method is easily applicable to the large-scale operations. We have also applied this method successfully for the iodocyclization of an unsaturated alcohol and an unsaturated carboxylic acid.

- Highly efficient halogenation of organic compounds with halides catalyzed by cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate using hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant in water
-
In this article a new environmentally friendly catalytic method is described for the efficient monoiodination and bromination of arenes and also iodoetherification and iodolactonization of olefins using hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant. The method is based on using sodium iodide or sodium bromide, hydrogen peroxide (35%) and cerium(III) chloride as an effective catalyst in water at room temperature or under reflux conditions. By this protocol, iodination of anilines proceeded with high regioselectivity at the para position with the formation of small amounts of the ortho isomers. However, bromination of anilines proceeded with absolute regioselectivity to give the para isomers as the sole products in high yields. Iodinations and bromi-nations of m-xylene, toluene, chloro- and bromobenzenes were proceeded with excellent regioselectivity to produce the para isomers as the sole products. Benzene was also halogenated by this catalytic system to give the monohalogenated benzene in good yields. Iodoetherification and iodolactonization of olefins also proceeded easily in high yields at room temperature. However, the bromination of olefins by this protocol failed and the starting materials were detected intact.

This analysis was aided by semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations. Additionally, the thermal analysis of the complete series has been carried out in order to investigate the phase properties of these materials. The 4-nonyloxyphenyl derivative displays two melting points by DSC and normal light microscopy, but yields non-birefringent liquids. The incorporation of photorefractive molecular units, such as carbazole. into anisotropic materials may offer many advantages over conventional electrical poling of photorefractive polymers.

The data clearly indicate that the two kinds of diazonium salts show very similar reactivities. This fact emphasizes that arenediazonium o-benzenedisulfonimides, which are very stable, may be used as alternatives to the more usual diazonium salts. The azo coupling reactions between 4-nitro-and 4-methoxybenzenediazonium salts and 1-bromo-2- naphthol, performed with equimolecular amounts of both reagents, showed the unexpected formation of large amounts of 1-bromo-4-nitrobenzene and 1-bromo-4-methoxybenzene. Some mechanistic implications of this behaviour are discussed. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2002.

- Anodically-Generated Br-Cl Composite Halogenating Reagents
-
The halogenating power of Br-Cl composite species (termed "BC-reagent" in this article) generated anodically from mixtures of Br- and Cl- in CH2Cl2 was examined in an ex-cell manner toward some organic compounds.The BC-reagent brominated methoxybenzenes, and the brominating power could be precisely controlled by means of the amount of electricity charged and by varying the ratio of Cl-/Br-.The power of the reagent was less controllable during the bromination of aniline.The reaction of olefins with the BC-reagent led to dibromination and bromochlorination, the product- selectivity of which could be also controlled.The theoretically calculated chemical composition of the BC-reagent agreed fairly well with the experimentally confirmed value in some cases.

- Detection of Aryl Radicals in Hydrodediazoniations
-
Iodoacetic acid, an effective aryl radical trapping agent, was employed to investigate the reactive intermediates in several hydrodediazoniations. Isolation of an aryl iodide constitutes a positive result in the test for aryl radicals. Equally as important is the lower yield of the reduction product when the trap diverts radicals from their usual reaction path. Hydrodediazoniations performed in MeOH, EtOH, i-PrOH, benzyl alcohol, THF, tetramethylurea, formamide, and hypophosphorous acid all involve aryl radical intermediates. Ferrocene was found to be an effective initiator in most of these reactions; through its action as an electron donor, it serves to shorten reaction times and to improve yields of hydrodediazoniation products. All hydrodediazoniations examined, whether initiated or not, involve radical intermediates.

- Methanolysis of 4-bromobenzenediazonium ions. Effects of acidity, [MeOH] and temperature on the formation and decomposition of diazo ethers that initiate homolytic dediazoniation
-
We have investigated the effects of solvent composition, acidity and temperature on the dediazoniation of 4-bromobenzenediazonium (4BrBD) ions in MeOH-H2O mixtures by employing a combination of spectrometric and chromatographic techniques. The kinetic behaviour is quite complex; in the absence of MeOH, dediazoniations follow first-order kinetics with a half-life t1/2 ? 3000 min (T = 45 °C), but addition of small concentrations of MeOH lead to more rapid but non-first-order kinetics, suggestive of a radical mechanism, with t1/2 ? 125 min at 25% MeOH. Further increases in the MeOH concentration slow down the rate of dediazoniation and reactions progressively revert to first-order behaviour, and at percentages of MeOH higher than 90%, t1/2 ? 1080 min. Analyses of reaction mixtures by HPLC indicate that three main dediazoniation products are formed depending on the particular experimental conditions. These are 4-bromophenol (ArOH), 4-bromoanisole (ArOMe), and bromobenzene (ArH). At acidities (defined as -log[HCl]) a turnover in the reaction mechanism takes place under acidic conditions. At any given MeOH content, the plot of kobs or t1/2 values against acidity is S-shaped, the inflexion point depending upon the MeOH concentration and the temperature. Similar S-shaped variations are found when plotting the dediazoniation product distribution against the acidity. The acid-dependence of the switch between the homolytic and heterolytic mechanisms suggests the homolytic dediazoniation proceeds via transient diazo ethers. The complex kinetic behaviour can be rationalized by assuming two competitive mechanisms: (i) the spontaneous heterolytic dediazoniation of 4BrBD, and (ii) an O-coupling mechanism in which the MeOH molecules capture ArN2 + to yield a highly unstable Z-adduct which undergoes homolytic fragmentation initiating a radical process. Analyses of the effects of temperature on the equilibrium constant for the formation of the diazo ether and on the rate of splitting of the diazo ether allowed, for the first time, estimation of relevant thermodynamic parameters for the formation of diazo ethers under acidic conditions.

- Visible-Light Promoted C–O Bond Formation with an Integrated Carbon Nitride–Nickel Heterogeneous Photocatalyst
-
Ni-deposited mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (Ni-mpg-CNx) is introduced as an inexpensive, robust, easily synthesizable and recyclable material that functions as an integrated dual photocatalytic system. This material overcomes the need of expensive photosensitizers, organic ligands and additives as well as limitations of catalyst deactivation in the existing photo/Ni dual catalytic cross-coupling reactions. The dual catalytic Ni-mpg-CNx is demonstrated for C–O coupling between aryl halides and aliphatic alcohols under mild condition. The reaction affords the ether product in good-to-excellent yields (60–92 %) with broad substrate scope, including heteroaryl and aryl halides bearing electron-withdrawing, -donating and neutral groups. The heterogeneous Ni-mpg-CNx can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture and reused over multiple cycles without loss of activity. The findings highlight exciting opportunities for dual catalysis promoted by a fully heterogeneous system.

- Eco-Friendly Methodology for the Formation of Aromatic Carbon–Heteroatom Bonds by Using Green Ionic Liquids
-
A new sustainable method is reported for the formation of aromatic carbon–heteroatom bonds under solvent-free and mild conditions (no co-oxidant, no strong acid and no toxic reagents) by using a new type of green ionic liquid. The bromination of methoxy arenes was chosen as a model reaction. The reaction methodology is based on only using natural sodium bromine, which is transformed into an electrophilic brominating reagent within an ionic liquid, easily prepared from the melted salt FeCl3 hexahydrate. Bromination reactions with this in-situ-generated reagent gave good yields and excellent regioselectivity under simple and environmentally friendly conditions. To understand the unusual bromine polarity reversal of sodium bromine without any strong oxidant, the molecular structure of the reaction medium was characterised by Raman and direct infusion electrospray ionisation mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS). An extensive computational investigation using density functional theory methods was performed to describe a mechanism that suggests indirect oxidation of Br? through new iron adducts. The versatility of the methodology was successively applied to nitration and thiocyanation of methoxy arenes using KNO3 and KSCN in melted hexahydrated FeCl3.

Series of novel N-benzyl derivatives of 6-aminoflavone (9a–n) were synthesized and evaluated for anticancer and topoisomerase II enzyme inhibition activity. All the synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro anticancer activity against human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and human lung cancer cell line (A-549). Among the synthesized compounds, 9f and 9g were found to be the most potent anticancer agents against human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) with IC50 values of 9.35?μM and 9.58?μM, respectively. Compounds 9b, 9c and 9n exhibited promising anticancer activity against human lung cancer cell line (A-549) with 43.71%, 46.48% and 44.26% inhibition at the highest concentration of 10?μM, respectively. Compounds 9c, 9f and 9g have ability to inhibit the topoisomerase II enzyme. Compound 9f showed most potent topoisomerase II enzyme inhibition activity with IC50 value of 12.11?μM. Further, these compounds have a high potential to be developed as a promising topoisomerase II inhibitors.

- Ni-NiO heterojunctions: a versatile nanocatalyst for regioselective halogenation and oxidative esterification of aromatics
-
Herein, we report a facile method for the synthesis of Ni-NiO heterojunction nanoparticles, which we utilized for the nuclear halogenation reaction of phenol and substituted phenols usingN-bromosuccinimide (NBS). A remarkablepara-selectivity was achieved for the halogenated products under semi-aqueous conditions. Interestingly, blocking of thepara-position of phenol offeredortho-selective halogenation. In addition, the Ni-NiO nanoparticles catalyzed the oxidative esterification of carbonyl compounds with alcohol, diol or dithiol in the presence of a catalytic amount of NBS. It was observed that the aromatic carbonyls substituted with an electron-donating group favoured nuclear halogenation, whereas an electron-withdrawing group substitution in carbonyl compounds facilitated the oxidation reaction. In addition, the catalyst was magnetically separated and recycled 10 times. The tuned electronic structure at the Ni-NiO heterojunction controlled selectivity and activity as no suchpara-selectivity was observed with commercially available NiO or Ni nanoparticles.

- Bis-selenonium Cations as Bidentate Chalcogen Bond Donors in Catalysis
-
Lewis acids are frequently employed in catalysis but they often suffer from high moisture sensitivity. In many reactions, catalysts are deactivated because of the problem that strong Lewis acids also bond to the products. In this research, hydrolytically stable bidentate Lewis acid catalysts derived from selenonium dicationic centers have been developed. The bis-selenonium catalysts are employed in the activation of imine and carbonyl groups in various transformations with good yields and selectivity. Lewis acidity of the bis-selenonium salts was found to be stronger than that of the monoselenonium systems, attributed to the synergistic effect of the two cationic selenonium centers. In addition, the bis-selenonium catalysts are not inhibited by strong bases or moisture.

- Evaluation of a Continuous-Flow Photo-Bromination Using N -Bromosuccinimide for Use in Chemical Manufacture
-
A continuous-flow photo-bromination reaction on benzyl and phenyl groups was conducted using N-bromosuccinimide as the bromine source inside a preparatory-scale glass plate reactor. This flow reactor system was capable of independently controlling light intensity, wavelength, and reaction temperature, hence exerting an exceptional level of control over the reaction. A short optimisation study for the synthesis of 2-bromomethyl-4-trifluoromethoxyphenylboronic acid pinacol ester resulted in best conditions of 20°C and 10 min residence time using an LED (light-emitting diode) array at 405 nm and acetonitrile as the solvent. The present study evaluates the potential for this easy-to-handle bromination system to be scaled up for chemical manufacture inside a continuous-flow glass plate reactor. The combination with an in-line continuous flow liquid-liquid extraction and separation system, using a membrane separator, demonstrates the potential for continuous flow reaction with purification in an integrated multi-stage operation with minimal manual handling in between.

An efficient, metal-free, and sustainable strategy has been described for the ipso-functionalization of phenylboronic acids using air as an oxidant in an aqueous medium. A range of carbon materials has been tested as carbocatalysts. To our surprise, graphite was found to be the best catalyst in terms of the turnover frequency. A broad range of valuable substituted aromatic compounds, i.e., phenols, anilines, nitroarenes, and haloarenes, has been prepared via the functionalization of the C-B bond into C-N, C-O, and many other C-X bonds. The vital role of the aromatic π-conjugation system of graphite in this protocol has been established and was observed via numerous analytic techniques. The heterogeneous nature of graphite facilitates the high recyclability of the carbocatalyst. This effective and easy system provides a multipurpose approach for the production of valuable substituted aromatic compounds without using any metals, ligands, bases, or harsh oxidants.

A mild, metal-free bromination method of arenes has been developed using the combination of bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodobencene and trimethylsilyl bromide. In situ-formed dibromo(phenyl)-λ3-iodane (PhIBr2) is proposed as the reactive intermediate. This methodology using PIFA/TMSBr has been applied with success to a great number of substrates (25 examples). The treatment of mono-substituted activated arenes led to para-brominated products (2u-z) in excellent 83-96% yields. Density functional theory calculations indicate a stepwise mechanism involving a double bromine addition followed by a type II dyotropic reaction with concomitant re-aromatization of the six-membered ring.

- Thiourea-Mediated Halogenation of Alcohols

The halogenation of alcohols under mild conditions expedited by the presence of substoichiometric amounts of thiourea additives is presented. The amount of thiourea added dictates the pathway of the reaction, which may diverge from the desired halogenation reaction toward oxidation of the alcohol, in the absence of thiourea, or toward starting material recovery when excess thiourea is used. Both bromination and chlorination were highly efficient for primary, secondary, tertiary, and benzyl alcohols and tolerate a broad range of functional groups. Detailed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies, isotopic labeling, and other control experiments suggest a radical-based mechanism. The fact that the reaction is carried out at ambient conditions, uses ubiquitous and inexpensive reagents, boasts a wide scope, and can be made highly atom economic, makes this new methodology a very appealing option for this archetypical organic reaction.

- Mild and Regioselective Bromination of Phenols with TMSBr

In this work, an unexpected promoting effect of by-product thioether was observed, leading to a mild and regioselective bromination of phenols with TMSBr. This method can tolerate a series of functional groups such as the reactive methoxyl, amide, fluoro, chloro, bromo, aldehyde, ketone and ester groups, and has the potential to recycle the by-product thioether and isolate the desired product under column chromatography-free conditions. Mechanism studies revealed that O–H···S hydrogen bond may be formed between phenol and by-product thioether. Possibly owing to the steric hindrance effect from by-product thioether, the electrophilic bromination at para-position of phenols is much favorable.

- Decarboxylative Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of (hetero)aromatic carboxylic acids using iodine as the terminal oxidant
-
A novel methodology for the decarboxylative Suzuki-Miyaura-type coupling has been established. This process uses iodine or a bromine source as both the decarboxylation mediator and the terminal oxidant, thus avoiding the need for stoichiometric amounts of transition metal salts previously required. Our new protocol allows for the construction of valuable biaryl architectures through the coupling of (hetero)aromatic carboxylic acids with arylboronic acids. The scope of this decarboxylative Suzuki reaction has been greatly diversified, allowing for previously inaccessible non-ortho-substituted aromatic acids to undergo this transformation. The procedure also benefits from low catalyst loadings and the absence of stoichiometric transition metal additives.

- Highly efficient Sandmeyer reaction on immobilized CuI/CuII-based catalysts
-
Highly effective embodiment of Sandmeyer reaction has been revealed for Cu-based catalysts incorporating ionic liquid on Silochrom support. The most active catalyst (TOF = = 4000–8000 h–1) contains comparable amounts of cuprous and cupric chloride anions. The reported method allows one to carry out the reaction for anilines in the one-pot mode.

- A general electrochemical strategy for the Sandmeyer reaction
-
Herein we report a general electrochemical strategy for the Sandmeyer reaction. Using electricity as the driving force, this protocol employs a simple and inexpensive halogen source, such as NBS, CBrCl3, CH2I2, CCl4, LiCl and NaBr for the halogenation of aryl diazonium salts. In addition, we found that these electrochemical reactions could be performed using anilines as the starting material in a one-pot fashion. Furthermore, the practicality of this process was demonstrated in the multigram scale synthesis of aryl halides using highly inexpensive graphite as the electrode. A series of detailed mechanism studies have been performed, including radical clock and radical scavenger study, cyclic voltammetry analysis and in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Amination of Silyloxyarenes through C–O Bond Activation
-
Silyloxyarenes were utilized as electrophilic coupling partners with amines in the synthesis of aniline derivatives. A diverse range of amine substrates were used, including cyclic or acyclic secondary amines, secondary anilines, and sterically hindered primary anilines. Additionally, a range of sterically hindered and unhindered primary aliphatic amines were employed, which have previously been challenging with other classes of aryl ether electrophiles. Orthogonal couplings of silyloxyarenes with aryl methyl ethers are illustrated, where selectivity between the two C?O electrophiles is determined by ligand control, thereby allowing complementary and selective late-stage diversification of either electrophile. Finally, a sequential coupling displays the utility of this amination method along with the reversal in intrinsic reactivity between aryl methyl ethers and silyloxyarenes.

- Direct Transformation of Arylamines to Aryl Halides via Sodium Nitrite and N-Halosuccinimide
-
A one-pot universal approach for transforming arylamines to aryl halides via reaction with sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and N-halosuccinimide (NXS) in DMF at room temperature under metal- and acid-free condition is described. This new protocol that is complementary to the Sandmeyer reaction, is suggested to involve the in situ generation of nitryl halide induce nitrosylation of aryl amine to form the diazo intermediate which is halogenated to furnish the aryl halide.

- From Anilines to Aryl Ethers: A Facile, Efficient, and Versatile Synthetic Method Employing Mild Conditions
-
We have developed a simple and direct method for the synthesis of aryl ethers by reacting alcohols/phenols (ROH) with aryl ammonium salts (ArNMe3+), which are readily prepared from anilines (ArNR′2, R′=H or Me). This reaction proceeds smoothly and rapidly (within a few hours) at room temperature in the presence of a commercially available base, such as KOtBu or KHMDS, and has a broad substrate scope with respect to both ROH and ArNR′2. It is scalable and compatible with a wide range of functional groups.

- Base-promoted nucleophilic fluoroarenes substitution of C–F bonds
-
With the use of KOH/DMSO as the superbase medium, the nucleophilic fluoroarene substitution for C–F bonds is presented. The transformation proceeds smoothly with the use of fluoroarenes bearing not only electron-withdrawing group, but also electron-donating group and a variety of nucleophiles such as alcohols, phenols, amines, amides and nitrogen-heterocyclic compounds. The double nucleophilic substitution using ortho-difluoroarenes and nucleophiles bearing ortho-dinucleophilic groups results in the formation of 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxins, dibenzo[b,e][1,4]dioxins and 10H-phenoxazines in moderate to good yields.

- Transition-metal-free decarboxylative bromination of aromatic carboxylic acids
-
Methods for the conversion of aliphatic acids to alkyl halides have progressed significantly over the past century, however, the analogous decarboxylative bromination of aromatic acids has remained a longstanding challenge. The development of efficient methods for the synthesis of aryl bromides is of great importance as they are versatile reagents in synthesis and are present in many functional molecules. Herein we report a transition metal-free decarboxylative bromination of aromatic acids. The reaction is applicable to many electron-rich aromatic and heteroaromatic acids which have previously proved poor substrates for Hunsdiecker-type reactions. In addition, our preliminary mechanistic study suggests that radical intermediates are not involved in this reaction, which is in contrast to classical Hunsdiecker-type reactivity. Overall, the process demonstrates a useful method for producing valuable reagents from inexpensive and abundant starting materials.

- Zwitterionic-Salt-Catalyzed Site-Selective Monobromination of Arenes
-
A zwitterionic-salt-catalyzed electrophilic monobromination of arenes with high regioselectivity has been developed. Under mild reaction conditions, a wide range of monobrominated aromatic compounds can be obtained in excellent yields. The reaction can be operated using an extremely low catalyst loading (0.05 mol %) with the inexpensive brominating agent N-bromosuccinimide. The versatility of this catalytic protocol has been demonstrated by the scale-up reaction with a 0.01 mol % catalyst loading to provide the selectively halogenated compound in quantitative yield.

- Regioselective monobromination of aromatics via a halogen bond acceptor-donor interaction of catalytic thioamide and N-bromosuccinimide
-
Regioselective monobromination of various aromatics was achieved at room temperature using N-bromosuccinimide and 5 mol% of thioamides in acetonitrile. With thiourea as catalyst, activated aromatics, such as anisole, acetanilide, benzamide and phenol analogues containing electron donating or withdrawing groups, were brominated with high regioselectivity. Room temperature brominations of weakly activated aromatics and deactivated 9-fluorenone were accomplished by 5 mol% thioacetamide, higher substrates concentrations and longer reaction times. A backbonding of the bromine lone pairs with the π*of C[dbnd]S group and a halogen bond between the halogen bond donor bromine and the halogen bond acceptor sulfur of the thioamide are thought to be the principal interactions and cause of N-bromosuccinimide activation.

- One-Pot, Metal-Free Conversion of Anilines to Aryl Bromides and Iodides
-
A metal-free synthesis of aryl bromides and iodides from anilines via halogen abstraction from bromotrichloromethane and diiodomethane is described. This one-pot reaction affords aryl halides from the corresponding anilines in moderate to excellent yields without isolation of diazonium salts. The transformation has short reaction times, a simple workup, and insensitivity to moisture and air and avoids excess halogenation. DFT calculations support a SRN1 mechanism. This method represents a convenient alternative to the classic Sandmeyer reaction.

- A highly efficient heterogeneous copper-catalyzed chlorodeboronation of arylboronic acids leading to chlorinated arenes
-
A highly efficient heterogeneous copper-catalyzed chlorodeboronation of arylboronic acids with inexpensive N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) was achieved in MeCN in the presence of 10 mol% of l-proline-functionalized MCM-41-immobilized copper(i) complex [MCM-41-l-proline-CuCl] under mild conditions, yielding a variety of aryl chlorides in excellent yields. This method proved to be tolerant of a broad range of functional groups and particularly useful for the conversion of electron-deficient arylboronic acids to aryl chlorides, a transformation that is inefficient without copper catalysis. This heterogeneous copper catalyst can be recovered by a simple filtration of the reaction solution and recycled for at least 10 times without any decreases in activity.

- Nucleophile promoted gold redox catalysis with diazonium salts: C-Br, C-S and C-P bond formation through catalytic Sandmeyer coupling
-
Gold-catalyzed C-heteroatom (C-X) coupling reactions are evaluated without using sacrificial oxidants. Vital to the success of this methodology is the nucleophile-assisted activation of aryldiazonium salts, which could be an effective oxidant for converting Au(i) to Au(iii) even without the addition of an assisting ligand or photocatalyst. By accelerating the reaction kinetics to outcompete C-C homo-coupling or diazonium dediazoniation, gold-catalyzed Sandmeyer reactions were achieved with different nucleophiles, forming C-Br, C-S and C-P bonds in high yields and selectivities.

- Masked N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Alkylation of Phenols with Organic Carbonates
-
An easily prepared masked N-heterocyclic carbene, 1,3-dimethylimidazolium-2-carboxylate (DMI-CO2), was investigated as a “green” and inexpensive organocatalyst for the alkylation of phenols. The process made use of various low-toxicity and renewable alkylating agents, such as dimethyl- and diethyl carbonate, in a focused microwave reactor. DMI-CO2 was found to be a very active catalyst and excellent yields of a range of aryl alkyl ethers were obtained under relatively benign conditions. The observed difference in the conversion behavior of phenol methylation, in the presence of either the carbene or 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU) catalyst, was rationalized on the basis of mechanistic investigations. The primary mode of action for the N-heterocyclic carbene is nucleophilic catalysis. Activation of the dialkyl carbonate electrophile results in concomitant evolution of an organo-soluble alkoxide, which deprotonates the phenolic starting material. In contrast, DBU is initially protonated by the phenol and thus consumed. Subsequent regeneration and participation in nucleophilic catalysis only becomes significant after some phenolate alkylation occurs.
