- Ionic liquid brush as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalytic assembly for the tosylation of phenols and alcohols in neat water
-
A very efficient and reusable heterogeneous ionic liquid brush assembly was developed. The catalyst exhibits high catalytic activity for the tosylation of phenols and alcohols in neat water. Moreover, the catalyst shows outstanding stability and reusability, and it can be simply and effectively recovered and reused five times without noticeable loss of catalytic activity.

- Chromatography-Free and Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Aryl Tosylates and Mesylates
-
Two chromatography-free and eco-friendly protocols have been developed to synthesize aryl tosylates and mesylates by the tosylation and mesylation of the corresponding hydroxyarenes, respectively. These protocols are superior to other known ones regarding

- Triazole-pyridine ligands: A novel approach to chromophoric iridium arrays
-
We describe a novel modular approach to a series of luminescent iridium complexes bearing triazole-pyridine-derived ligands that were conveniently prepared by using "click" chemistry. One, two or three triazole-pyridine units were effectively built into the heteroaromatic macromolecule using versatile acetylene- and azide-functionalised precursors. Using this approach, a series of iridium-derived molecules, that differ in the number of iridium centres, the structural characteristics of the cyclometalating ligand and the backbone, were synthesised. The preliminary photophysical properties of the prepared complexes indicate that there is only limited interaction (through space or through the backbone) between the iridium centres within one molecule and that each iridium centre retains its individual properties. The results show that our approach can be generally applied towards covalently linked multichromophoric systems with potential application, for instance, in the design and preparation of tunable light emitters. As a demonstration of this concept, a single molecule white-light emitter, constructed from two iridium centres (yellow emission) and a fluorene unit (blue emission), is presented.

- Graphite/methanesulfonic acid (GMA) as a new reagent for sulfonylation of phenols and thia-Fries rearrangement of aryl sulfonates to sulfonylphenols
-
A new facile method for direct sulfonylation of phenols was developed. Graphite in methanesulfonic acid (GMA) was used to prepare sulfonylphenols by sulfonylation of phenol and naphthalene derivatives with p-toluenesulfonic acid (=4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid) (Table 1) and the thia-Fries rearrangement of aryl sulfonates (Table 4). Mechanistic studies showed that the sulfonylation reaction of phenols in GMA occurred through an initial sulfonate formation followed by a thia-Fries rearrangement of the aryl sulfonate by an intermolecular mechanism (Scheme 3).

- Selected sulfonyl compounds as anticancer/antimalarial agents
-
The synthesis and biological testing of a series of sulfonyl phenols and sulfonyl aryl methyl ethers has revealed that p-methoxyphenyl p-toluenesulfonate is a very selective and effective antimalarial agent which shows pronounced activity against human skin cancer cells. Application of a counter-attack strategy permits the direct preparation of the requisite tosylate ether from the bis(tosylate) of dihydroquinone.
