Homolytic hydrobromination of terminal and internal alkynes with a commercially available solution of hydrogen bromide in acetic acid has been investigated for regio- and stereoselective synthesis of bromoalkenes. Under an aerobic atmosphere at room temperature, the reaction of ethynylarenes with a small excess of HBr efficiently gave (2-bromoethenyl)arenes with good to high E-selectivity. (Alk-1-ynyl)arenes, or internal alkynes bearing both phenyl and alkyl groups at the sp-carbons also underwent the air-initiated hydrobromination to exhibit high Z-selectivity under kinetic conditions using a half equivalent of HBr.

A general procedure of 1,2-dibromination of vicinal sp3 C-H bonds of arylethanes using N-bromosuccinimide as the bromide reagent without an external initiator has been established. The modulation of the strength of the intermolecular noncovalent interactions between the solvent and arylethane ethanes, quantitatively evaluated via quantum chemical calculations, allows us to circumvent the fact that arylethane ethane cannot be dibrominated through traditional methods. The mechanism was explored by both experiments and quantum chemical calculations, revealing a radical chain with HAA process.

Described here is a three-component self-assembly system that displays emergent behavior that differs from that of its constituents. The system comprises an all-hydrocarbon octaaryl macrocycle cyclo[8](1,3-(4,6-dimethyl)benzene (D4d-CDMB-8), corannulene (Cora), and I2. No appreciable interaction is seen between any pair of these three-components, either in cyclohexane or under various crystallization conditions. On the other hand, when all three-components are mixed in cyclohexane and allowed to undergo crystallization, a supramolecular iodine-containing capsule, ((D4d-CDMB-8)3(Cora)2)I2, is obtained. This all-hydrocarbon capsule consists of three D4d-CDMB-8 and two Cora subunits and contains a centrally bound I2 molecule as inferred from single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction studies as well as solid-state 13C NMR and Raman spectroscopy. These analyses were complemented by solution-phase 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopic studies. No evidence of I2 escape from the capsule is seen, even at high temperatures (e.g., up to 418 K). The bound I2 is likewise protected from reaction with alkali or standard reductants in aqueous solution (e.g., saturated NaOH(aq) or aqueous Na2S2O3). It was also found that a mixed powder containing D4d-CDMB-8 and Cora in a 3:2 molar ratio could capture saturated I2 vapor or iodine from aqueous sources (e.g., 1.0 mM I2 in NaCl (35 wt %) or I2 + NaI(aq) (1.0 mM each)). The present system displays structural and functional features that go beyond what would be expected on the basis of a simple sum-of-the-components analysis. As such, it illustrates a new approach to creating self-assembled ensembles with emergent features.
