- Palladium-Catalyzed Sequential Vinyl C–H Activation/Dual Decarboxylation: Regioselective Synthesis of Phenanthrenes and Cyclohepta[1,2,3-de]naphthalenes
-
The application of a C(vinyl), C(aryl)-palladacycle from vinyl-containing substrates is challenging due to the interference of a reactive double bond in palladium catalysis. This Letter describes a [4 + 2] or [4 + 3] cyclization based on a C(vinyl), C(aryl)-palladacycle by employing α-oxocarboxylic acids as the insertion units under a palladium/air system. The reaction proceeded through the key vinyl C–H activation and dual decarboxylation sequence, forming phenanthrenes and cyclohepta[1,2,3-de]naphthalenes regioselectively in good yields. The synthetic versatility of this protocol is highlighted by the gram-scale synthesis and synthesizing functional material molecule.

- Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons via Iron(III)-Catalyzed Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis
-
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are important structural motifs in organic chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, and materials science. The development of a new synthetic strategy toward these compounds is described based on the design principle of iron(III)-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions. This approach is characterized by its operational simplicity, high functional group compatibility, and regioselectivity while relying on FeCl3 as an environmentally benign, earth-abundant metal catalyst. Experimental evidence for oxetanes as reactive intermediates in the catalytic carbonyl-olefin ring-closing metathesis has been obtained.

- Characterization of the combustion products of polyethylene
-
Polyethylene (PE) was burned in a tube-type furnace with an air flow at a temperature of 600~900°C. Combustion products were collected with glass wool, glass fiber filter, and XAD-2 adsorbent. The analysis of the products was performed with GC-FID and GC-MSD. At low temperature, hydrocarbons were the major components, while at higher temperature the products were composed of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. With the high performance of the Hewlett-Packard 6890GC-5973MSD, more compounds were identified in comparison with previous studies.

- Polyarenes from aryl ketones with application to synthesis of crisnatol mesylate
-
Alkyl-substituted polyarenes of the formula STR1 in which R is alkyl and Arres is an aryl residue, are prepared from aryl ketones by reaction of the latter with 1-cyclohexenyloxytrimethylsilane in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst. When R is methyl and Arres is a naphthyl residue, the reaction serves as a step in a reaction scheme leading to crisnatol mesylate, a pharmaceutical useful in the treatment of brain cancer.

- Acid-catalyzed rearrangement of cyclobutanols. Syntheses of chrysenes, cyclopentenophenanthrenes, and diarylmethanes
-
Acid-catalyzed reactions of 8-aryl or 8,8-diarylbicyclooct-2-en-7-ols lead to tetrahydrophenanthrene derivatives.For example 8-(1-naphthyl)-bicyclooct-2-en-7-ols give substituted chrysenes in methanesulphonic acid.In the case of the homologous 7-aryl or 7,7-diarylbicyclohept-2-en-6-ols a novel transformation of diarylmethanes is observed.A mechanism is proposed which accounts for the product distribution observed in these rearrangements.
