- Energy-Transfer-Mediated Photocatalysis by a Bioinspired Organic Perylenephotosensitizer HiBRCP
-
Energy transfer plays a special role in photocatalysis by utilizing the potential energy of the excited state through indirect excitation, in which a photosensitizer determines the thermodynamic feasibility of the reaction. Bioinspired by the energy-transfer ability of natural product cercosporin, here we developed a green and highly efficient organic photosensitizer HiBRCP (hexaisobutyryl reduced cercosporin) through structural modification of cercosporin. After structural manipulation, its triplet energy was greatly improved, and then, it could markedly promote the efficient geometrical isomerization of alkenes from the E-isomer to the Z-isomer. Moreover, it was also effective for energy-transfer-mediated organometallic catalysis, which allowed realization of the cross-coupling of aryl bromides and carboxylic acids through efficient energy transfer from HiBRCP to nickel complexes. Thus, the study on the relationship between structural manipulation and their photophysical properties provided guidance for further modification of cercosporin, which could be applied to more meaningful and challenging energy-transfer reactions.

- A Bidentate Ru(II)-NC Complex as a Catalyst for Semihydrogenation of Alkynes to (E)-Alkenes with Ethanol
-
Four Ru(II)-NC complexes were tested as catalysts for semihydrogenation of internal alkynes to (E)-alkenes with ethanol, and the complex {(C5H4N)(C6H4)}RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2 (1a) showed the highest activity. The reactions proceeded well with 1 mol % catalyst loading and 0.1 equiv of t-BuONa at 110 °C for 1 h, and 32 alkenes were synthesized with excellent E:Z selectivity. This is the first ruthenium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of internal alkynes to (E)-alkenes using ethanol as the hydrogen donor.

- Selenenate Anions (PhSeO?) as Organocatalyst: Synthesis of trans-Stilbenes and a PPV Derivative
-
The selenenate anion (RSeO?) is introduced as an active organocatalyst for the dehydrohalogen coupling of benzyl halides to form trans-stilbenes. It is shown that RSeO? is a more reactive catalyst than the previously reported sulfur analogues (sulfenate anion, RSO?) and selenolate anions (RSe?) in the aforementioned reaction. This catalytic system was also applied to the benzylic-chloromethyl-coupling polymerization (BCCP) of a bis-chloromethyl arene to form ppv (poly(p-phenylene vinylene))-type polymers with high yields, Mn (average molecular weight) up to 13,000 and ? (dispersity) of 1.15. (Figure presented.).

- Diarylethene synthesis method without transition metal catalysis
-
The invention discloses a diarylethene synthesis method without transition metal catalysis. The method comprises the following steps: a cinnamic acid derivative and aryl trifluoroborate are subjectedto a decarboxylation coupling reaction in a solvent under the action of an oxidizing agent, postprocessing is performed after the reaction, and diarylethene is obtained. K2S2O8 is adopted to promote acatalytic system in the synthetic method, and a free radical coupling reaction can be performed directly under the condition that no ligand, transition metal or alkali is added.

We report the preparation of symmetrical stilbene derivatives in a two-step one-pot cascade reaction based on enzymatic decarboxylation of cinnamic acid followed by olefin cross metathesis. Embedment of the metathesis catalyst in a protein scaffold enabled the cascade reaction to symmetric stilbenes and furthermore very efficient removal of metal impurities (1 ppm in product fraction).

We report a general method for selective cross-coupling of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with aryl tosylates enabled by versatile Pd(II) complexes. This method features the general cross-coupling of ubiquitous α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids by decarboxylation.

- O -Iodoxybenzoic acid mediated generation of aryl free radicals: Synthesis of stilbenes through C-C cross-coupling with β-nitrostyrenes
-
The generation of an aryl free radicals in the presence of nitrostyrenes through a combination of aryl hydrazines and o-iodoxybenzoic acid led to the synthesis of stilbenes by forming a new carbon-carbon bond after subsequent elimination of a nitrosyl radical. The symmetrical and unsymmetrical stilbenes with excellent E-selectivity were synthesized in good yields, with advantages of broad substrate scope and transition metal free, mild reaction conditions, under an open atmosphere in a short reaction time. A free radical mediated mechanism was postulated and supported by radical trapping experiments. Application of the developed methodology is demonstrated through a simple, two step synthesis of resveratrol, a valuable stilbenoid for anticancer and neurological studies via its prodrug E-1,3-dimethoxy-5-(4-methoxystyryl)benzene.

- Direct Conversion of Alcohols into Alkenes by Dehydrogenative Coupling with Hydrazine/Hydrazone Catalyzed by Manganese
-
We have developed unprecedented methods for the direct transformation of primary alcohols to alkenes in the presence of hydrazine, and for the synthesis of mixed alkenes by the reaction of alcohols with hydrazones. The reactions are catalyzed by a manganese pincer complex and proceed in absence of added base or hydrogen acceptors, liberating dihydrogen, dinitrogen, and water as the only byproducts. The proposed mechanism, based on preparation of proposed intermediates and control experiments, suggests that the transformation occurs through metal–ligand cooperative N?H activation of a hydrazone intermediate.

- Facile utilisation of aldehyde bisulfite adducts: Synthesis of (E)-1,2- diphenylethenes
-
Background: A one-pot coupling reaction of aldehyde bisulfite adducts was developed for McMurry reaction using Zn-TiCl4 in 1,4-dioxane solvent medium. The treatment of sodium hydroxy(phenyl)methane sulfonate (2a) with TiCl4 in 1,4-dioxane favoured the deprotection of the bisulfite adduct 2a, and the in situ regeneration of benzaldehyde (1a) underwent reductive coupling to afford stilbene 3a in a relatively good yield, thus leading to an improved synthesis of a series of (E)-1,2- diphenylethenes 3. The present approach provides a new solution to the inherent instability of aldehydes and also provides a direct access to C'C bond formation for the synthesis of 1,2-diphenylethenes from aryl aldehyde bisulfite adducts. Methods: All reactions were performed at 70-80o and the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometric techniques. Results: The present approach provides a new solution to the instability of aldehydes and also provides a direct access to C'C bond formation for the synthesis of 1,2-diphenylethenes from aryl aldehyde bisulfite adducts. Conclusion: In the present work, we have reported an efficient method for the synthesis of 1,2- diphenylethene derivatives. Aldehydes are commonly used as the starting materials in the McMurry reaction, which affords the stilbene derivatives, the core skeleton of various valuable compounds. To increase the stability of the aldehydes, bisulfite adducts are usually employed, but the deprotection process causes loss of process efficiency. To address this issue, we developed a method based on the single-pot reaction of aromatic bisulfite adduct using TiCl4/Zn in 1,4-dioxane.

- Supramolecular system composed of B12 model complex and organic photosensitizer: Impact of the corrin framework of B12 on the visible-light-driven dechlorination without the use of noble metals
-
The visible-light-driven dechlorination system without the use of a noble metal has been developed. We screened the combination of cobalt catalysts having square-planar monoanionic ligands (hydrophobic B12 model complex 1/imine-oxime type complex 2) and typical red dyes (Rose Bengal 3/Rhodamine B 4/Nile Red 5) for the construction of a dehalogenation system via a noble-metal-free and visible-light-driven process. The combination of the hydrophobic B12 model complex 1 and Rose Bengal 3 exhibited the highest catalytic activity to 1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethane (DDT) to form the monodechlorinated compound, 1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dichloroethane, as the major product. The prolonged photocatalysis of DDT by the B12-Rose Bengal system afforded the tri-dechlorinated compound, trans-4,4′-dichlorostilbene, as the major product. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanism of the dehalogenation cycle using various methods such as UV-vis spectroscopy and laser flash photolysis. Finally, we clarified the advantage of using the hydrophobic B12 model complex 1 as an electron acceptor as well as a cobalt catalyst in the organic dye-involved photocatalysis.

- Selective rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkynes to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with a tetraphosphoramidite ligand
-
A tetraphosphoramidite ligand was successfully applied to a Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of various symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkynes to afford corresponding α,β-unsaturated aldehyde products in good to excellent yields (up to 97% yield). Excellent chemo- and regioselectivities and high activities (up to 20 000 TON) were achieved. The corresponding α,β-unsaturated aldehyde products can be transformed into many useful and important organic molecules, such as indenamine derivatives and lukianol pyrroles. This great performance makes the hydroformylation of alkynes highly practical with great potential.

A mild Heck reaction of aryl iodides and olefins was realized by the cooperation of a palladium and a photoredox catalyst under the irradiation of visible light. This protocol works well to synthesize stilbenes with high Z/E ratios and (E)-cinnamates in the absence of ligands at ambient temperature. Control experiments revealed that palladium salt, visible light and photoredox catalyst were all crucial for the achievement of this cross-coupling under mild conditions. (Figure presented.).

This protocol proceeds via a radical pathway, with nitroalkenes serving as the radical acceptor, and the nitro group is cleaved during the process.

Mizoroki-Heck reactions, which are well-known for aryldiazonium salts and which have recently been described for arylhydrazines, have now been extended to phenyldiazenes. In situ generation of phenyldiazenes from azocarboxylates allowed clean and selective reactions with styrenes, acrylates, and acrylamides using palladium(II) acetate in the presence of silver(I) acetate or hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Hydrogen peroxide was thereby shown to be a cheap and broadly applicable alternative for the established palladium-silver(I) system.

- An alkene-promoted borane-catalyzed highly stereoselective hydrogenation of alkynes to give Z- And E-alkenes
-
The stereoselective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes is an extremely useful transformation in synthetic chemistry. Despite numerous reports for the synthesis of Zalkenes, the hydrogenation of alkynes to give E-alkenes is still not well resolved. In particular, selective preparation of both Z- and E-alkenes by the same catalytic hydrogenation system using molecular H2 has rarely been reported. In this paper, a novel strategy of using simple alkenes as promoters for the HB(C6F5)2-catalyzed metal-free hydrogenation of alkynes was adopted. Significantly, both Z - and E-alkenes can be furnished by hydrogenation with molecular H2 in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities. Further experimental and theoretical mechanistic studies suggest that interactions between H and F atoms of the alkene promoter, borane intermediate, and H2 play an essential role in promoting the hydrogenolysis reaction.

Using this second generation catalyst, a variety of trans-stilbenes were generated in 39-98% isolated yield.

-
2-Bromo-1-aryl substituted indenes can be synthesized from 1,2-diaryl substituted gem-dibromocyclopropanes via a domino reaction sequence. The cascade reaction involves silver(I) promoted ionization and 2π-disrotatory electrocyclic ring-opening, followed by a 4π-conrotatory electrocyclic ring closing reaction of the allylic carbocation intermediate. Reaction conditions utilize silver tetrafluoroborate (AgBF4) in dichloroethane at 65 C. Selectivity effects for the electrocyclization were also studied. The 2-bromoindenes can be further functionalized using cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura protocol. The alkene π-bond of the indenes can also be isomerized to give the thermodynamically more stable 2-bromo-3-aryl-1H-indene isomers using triethylamine in dichloromethane at room temperature.

-
We here report the synthesis and biological evaluation of several combretastatin A-4 derivatives alkylated at the phenol hydroxyl group. Some of these derivatives contain an (E)-arylalkene fragment reminiscent of that present in some natural stilbenes like resveratrol. The cytotoxicities towards one human healthy kidney embryonic and two tumoral cell lines were determined. In addition, the ability of these compounds to inhibit the production of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was measured. Finally, the expression of genes controlling the production of telomerase was measured. Some of the compounds were found to have an activity comparable or higher than that of combretastatin A-4 in at least one of the aforementioned biological properties. The compounds with the (E)-arylalkene fragment were in general terms more active than the simple O-alkyl derivatives. However, no clear structure/activity correlations were perceived when comparing the observed compound activities across the three biological properties. This points out the existence of marked differences between the mechanisms responsible for their cytotoxicity.

- Dechlorination of DDT catalyzed by visible-light-driven system composed of vitamin B12 derivative and Rhodamine B
-
The visible-light-driven dechlorination of 1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2- trichloroethane (DDT) was carried out in the presence of a hydrophobic vitamin B12, heptamethyl cobyrinate perchlorate and Rhodamine B. DDT was successfully dechlorinated to form 1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dichloroethane (DDD) as the mono-dechlorinated product upon visible light irradiation with a tungsten lamp (λ > 440 nm). Upon prolonged visible light irradiation to DDT, DDMU (1-chloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethylene), DDMS (1-chloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane) and DCS (trans-4,4′- dichlorostilbene) were obtained as the di- and tri-dechlorinated products. The use of the photostable organic sensitizer enabled prolonged photocatalysis via a noble-metal-free process. The vitamin B12 derivative was replaced by an imine/oxime-type cobalt complex although the cobalt complex system showed a lower catalytic activity than the B12 derivative system. The dechlorination mechanism in the B12-Rhodamin B system was investigated by various methods such as UV-vis absorption and fluorescence quenching. Copyright

- The stable conformations of 4,4′-dichloro-trans-stilbene in solution by liquid crystal NMR spectroscopy
-
The mechanisms conferring to the trans-stilbene derivatives their well known important biological properties are not yet completely clear; then, it is reasonable to suppose that their conformational equilibrium could play some kind of role (as found for many other molecules of pharmacological interest). In this scenario, the 4,4′-dichloro-trans-stilbene (DCS) can be considered as the prototype of a series of stilbenes substituted in 4,4′ positions in order to enhance their properties. Following this starting idea, we decided to study the conformational distribution of DCS in solution by Liquid Crystal NMR Spectroscopy (LXNMR), one of the best techniques to obtain this kind of information in the liquid state of matter. Our results show that the molecule is basically not planar: the most populated conformations we found are (a) the couple of symmetry-related, propeller-like structures, belonging to the C 2 point group and characterized by the phenyl rings disrotated of about 18.7° with respect to the vinyl plane and (b) the couple of symmetry-related Ci structures (where the rings are parallel, like the pedals of a cycle) having this time the two rings conrotated of an angle of ~18.7° with respect to the vinyl fragment.

- Copper-catalyzed alkene arylation with diaryliodonium salts
-
Alkenes and arenes represent two classes of feedstock compounds whose union has fundamental importance to synthetic organic chemistry. We report a new approach to alkene arylation using diaryliodonium salts and Cu catalysis. Using a range of simple alkenes, we have shown that the product outcomes differ significantly from those commonly obtained by the Heck reaction. We have used these insights to develop a number of new tandem and cascade reactions that transform readily available alkenes into complex arylated products that may have broad applications in chemical synthesis.

- Reductive coupling of carbonyl compounds promoted by cobalt or titanium nanoparticles
-
The reaction of a series of aldehydes and ketones with readily prepared cobalt or titanium nanoparticles, under mild reaction conditions, led to the obtention of different reductive dimerization products depending on the nature of the transition metal used. Cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) allowed the selective transformation of the starting carbonyl compounds into vicinal diols, whereas the reaction promoted by titanium nanoparticles (TiNPs) led to the formation of the corresponding alkenes. In this last case, the use of trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl) as additive, at 0 °C, also allowed the obtention of vicinal diols after acidic aqueous work-up. ARKAT-USA, Inc.

- Effects of substituent and solvent on the UV absorption energy of 4,4′-disubstituted stilbenes
-
Twenty five samples of 4,4′-disubstituted stilbene derivatives were synthesized, and their UV absorption max wavelengths were determined in over 10 kinds of solvents including cyclohexane, ether, chloroform, acetonitrile and ethanol, in which 242 experimental data were recorded. The effects of substituents and solvents on the energy of their UV absorption max wavelengths were discussed. The research results showed: the energy of UV absorption max wavelengths of 4,4′-disubstituted stilbenes was mainly affected by their intramolecular structure (substituent effect) in a given solvent, that is, the energy is dominated by both of excited-state substituent parameter σ CC ex and polar substituent constant σ p. While their energy was dominated by the substituent effect and solvent effect in different kinds of solvents. An equation quantifying the energy of UV absorption max wavelengths of 4,4′-disubstituted stilbenes was developed. In addition, it is found that the n-octanol/water partition coefficient (logP) is more effective than the solvatochromic dye (E T(30)) in scaling the solvent effect. The equation employed the parameter logP has a better correlation and more specific physical meaning. Further, the energies of UV absorption max wavelengths of some reported compounds were predicted by the obtained equation, which are in agreement with their experimental values.

- Weakening C-O bonds: Ti(III), a new reagent for alcohol deoxygenation and carbonyl coupling olefination
-
Investigations detailed herein, including density functional theory (DFT) calculations, demonstrate that the formation of either alkoxy- or hydroxy-Ti(III) complexes considerably decreases the energy of activation for C-O bond homolysis. As a consequence of this observation, we described two new synthetic applications of Nugent's reagent in organic chemistry. The first of these applications is an one-step methodology for deoxygenation-reduction of alcohols, including benzylic and allylic alcohols and 1,2-dihydroxy compounds. Additionally, we have also proved that Ti(III) is capable of mediating carbonyl coupling-olefination. In this sense, and despite the fact that for over 35 years it has been widely accepted that either Ti(II) or Ti(0) was the active species in the reductive process of the McMurry reaction, the mechanistic evidence presented proves the involvement of Ti(III) pinacolates in the deoxygenation step of the herein described Nugent's reagent-mediated McMurry olefination. This observation sheds some light on probably one of the mechanistically more complex transformations in organic chemistry. Finally, we have also proved that both of these processes can be performed catalytically in Cp 2TiCl2 by using trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl) as the final oxygen trap.

- Synthesis of 4-aryl- and 4-alkyl-2-silyl-1,3-butadienes and their Diels-Alder/cross-coupling reactions
-
An ene-yne cross methasis of silyl-substituted alkynes and alkenes has been developed as a route to 4-aryl- and 4-alkyl-2-silyl-substituted 1,3-dienes. The dienes prepared were used to affect highly diastereoselective Diels-Alder reactions and then the silicon-substituted Diels-Alder cycloadducts were used in Hiyama cross-coupling reactions. The cross-coupling reactions enable these silicon dienes to be used as synthons for a variety of other dienes one might prepare and need access to. Two of the silicon-substituted Diels-Alder cycloadducts and one of the Hiyama cross-coupling products were also characterized by X-ray crystallography.

- Salt/ligand-activated low-valent titanium formulations: the 'salt effect' on diastereoselective carbon-carbon bond forming SET reactions
-
A comprehensive study on the influence of exogenously added electropositive metal salts as promoters/secondary activators on preformed LVT species has resulted in the construction of highly efficient low-valent titanium (LVT) reagents. These salt-activated LVT reagents while exhibiting enhanced chemoselectivity and diastereoselectivity accelerated the reductive olefination rates of aromatic and aliphatic carbonyls under ambient temperature conditions and in much reduced reaction times. The versatility of the salted reagent was further explored in other single electron transfer reactions, namely, imino-pinacol couplings and one-pot synthesis of phenanthrenes from o-alkoxy aromatic carbonyls. We envisage that, in contrast to multiphase heterogeneous colloidal slurries, salt-activated LVT reagents afforded uniformly viscous homogeneous slurries generating a highly reactive monomeric intermetallic LVT complex. Continued judicious exploration of the emerging paradigms by studying the influence of external ligands/auxiliaries/redox agents on LVT reagents, and organometallics in general, will be critical to widen the scope and utility of the classical McMurry reaction and other SET reactions.

- Homobimetallic ruthenium-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes: Synthesis, characterization, and catalytic applications
-
Two new homobimetallic ruthenium-arene complexes [(p-cymene)Ru(μ-Cl) 3RuCl(η2-C2H4)(L)], where L = 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene (3a) or 1,3-bis(2,4,6- trimethylphenyl)-4,5-dichloroimidazolin-2-ylidene (3b), were isolated in high yields upon heating a toluene solution of [RuCl2 (p-cymene)] 2 with 1 equivalent of carbene ligand under an ethylene atmosphere. They were characterized by NMR and TGA. Their catalytic activity was investigated in the atom transfer radical polymerization of vinyl monomers. In the polymerization of methyl methacrylate, complex 3a displayed faster reaction rates than 3b and the related phosphine-based complex 2a (L = tricyclohexylphosphine), although control was more effective with the latter catalyst. When n-butyl acrylate or styrene served as monomer, a major shift of reactivity was observed between complex 2a that promoted controlled radical polymerization, and complexes 3a or 3b that favored metathetical coupling. Further homocoupling experiments with various styrene derivatives confirmed the outstanding aptitude of complex 3a (and to a lesser extent of 3b) to catalyze olefin metathesis reactions. Contrary to monometallic ruthenium-arene complexes of the [RuCl2(p-cymene)(L)] type, the new homobimetallic species did not require the addition of a diazo compound or visible light illumination to initiate the ring-opening metathesis of norbornene or cyclooctene. When α,ω-dienes were exposed to 3a or 3b, a mixture of cycloisomerization and ring-closing metathesis products was obtained in a non-selective way. Addition of a terminal alkyne co-catalyst enhanced the metathetical activity while completely repressing the cycloisomerization process. Thus, quantitative conversions of diethyl 2,2-diallylmalonate and N,N-diallyltosylamide were achieved within 2 h at room temperature using 2 mol% of catalyst precursor 3 a and 6 mol % of phenylacetylene.
