Iodine(III)-mediated synthesis of 4-iodo-N-phenylaniline from iodobenzene has been achieved, and the reaction can proceed under mild conditions. A variety of functional groups were well tolerated, providing the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. The remaining iodine group provides an effective platform for converting the products into several valuable asymmetric diphenylamines. Most importantly, this reaction can be easily scaled up to the ten-gram scale, highlighting its synthetic utility. The mechanistic study revealed that the in situ generated aryl hypervalent iodine intermediate is the key factor to realize this para-selective C-H amination reaction.

A catalyst-free, direct electrochemical synthesis of synthetically challenging medium-sized lactams through C-C bond cleavage has been developed. In contrast to previous typical amidyl radical cyclization, this electrosynthetic approach enabled step-economical ring expansion through a unique remote amidyl migration under mild, metal- and external-oxidant-free conditions in a simple undivided cell. The strategy features unparalleled broad substrate scope with all ring sizes of (hetero)aryl-fused 8-11-membered rings and hetero atom-tethered rings, high yields, and good functional group tolerance. Our experimental and computational findings provided strong support for a SET-based reaction manifold.

Fluorinated organic molecules are pervasive within the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries due to the range of structural and physicochemical properties that fluorine imparts. Currently, the most abundant methods for the synthesis of the aryl-CF2 functionality have relied on the deoxyfluorination of ketones and aldehydes using expensive and poorly atom economical reagents. Here, we report a general method for the synthesis of aryl-CF2R and aryl-CF2H compounds through activation of the corresponding trifluoromethyl arene precursors. This strategy is enabled by an endergonic electron transfer event that provides access to arene radical anions that lie outside of the catalyst reduction potential. Fragmentation of these reactive intermediates delivers difluorobenzylic radicals that can be intercepted by abundant alkene feedstocks or a hydrogen atom to provide a diverse array of difluoalkylaromatics.
