- Chromium- and Cobalt-Catalyzed, Regiocontrolled Hydrogenation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study
-
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are difficult substrates for hydrogenation because of the thermodynamic stability caused by aromaticity. We report here the first chromium- and cobalt-catalyzed, regiocontrolled hydrogenation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons at ambient temperature. These reactions were promoted by low-cost chromium or cobalt salts combined with diimino/carbene ligand and methylmagnesium bromide and are characterized by high regioselectivity and expanded substrate scope that includes tetracene, tetraphene, pentacene, and perylene, which have rarely been reduced. The approach provides a cost-effective catalytic protocol for hydrogenation, is scalable, and can be utilized in the synthesis of tetrabromo- and carboxyl-substituted motifs through functionalization of the hydrogenation product. The systematic theoretical mechanistic modelings suggest that low-valent Cr and Co monohydride species, most likely from zerovalent transition metals, are capable of mediating these hydrogenations of fused PAHs.

- An electron transport material and an organic electroluminescence element using the same
-
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electron transport material which contributes to the prolongation of service life and the like of an organic EL (electroluminescent) element, and further to provide an organic EL element using the electron transport material. SOLUTION: The electron transport material is a compound represented by formula (1), and the organic EL element uses this compound. In formula (1), Ar is 6-24C aryl; Py is 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl or 4-pyridyl; an optional hydrogen of the Ar, benzene ring and pyridine ring therein may be substituted by 1C-6C alkyl or 3C-6C cycloalkyl; and at least one hydrogen in the compound represented by formula (1) may be substituted by heavy hydrogen.

- Palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reaction of ultra-stabilised 2-aryl-1,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]1,3,2-diazaborole compounds with aryl bromides: A direct protocol for the preparation of unsymmetrical biaryls
-
There has been a significant interest in organoboron compounds such as arylboronic acids, arylboronate esters and potassium aryltrifluoroborate salts because they are versatile coupling partners in metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions. On the other hand, their nitrogen analogues, namely, 1,3,2-benzodiazaborole-type compounds have been studied extensively for their intriguing absorption and fluorescence characteristics. Here we describe the first palladium-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of easily accessible and ultra-stabilised 2-aryl-1,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]1,3,2-diazaborole derivatives with various aryl bromides. Aryl bromides bearing electron-withdrawing, electron-neutral and electron-donating substituents are reacted under the catalytic system furnishing unsymmetrical biaryl products in isolated yields of up to 96% in only 10 minutes.

- Computed CH acidity of biaryl compounds and their deprotonative metalation by using a mixed lithium/Zinc-TMP base
-
With the aim of synthesizing biaryl compounds, several aromatic iodides were prepared by the deprotonative metalation of methoxybenzenes, 3-substituted naphthalenes, isoquinoline, and methoxypyridines by using a mixed lithium/zinc-TMP (TMP=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino) base and subsequent iodolysis. The halides thus obtained, as well as commercial compounds, were cross-coupled under palladium catalysis (e.g., Suzuki coupling with 2,4-dimethoxy-5-pyrimidylboronic acid) to afford various representative biaryl compounds. Deprotometalation of the latter compounds was performed by using the lithium/zinc-TMP base and evaluated by subsequent iodolysis. The outcome of these reactions has been discussed in light of the CH acidities of these substrates, as determined in THF solution by using the DFT B3LYP method. Except for in the presence of decidedly lower pKa values, the regioselectivities of the deprotometalation reactions tend to be governed by nearby coordinating atoms rather than by site acidities. In particular, azine and diazine nitrogen atoms have been shown to be efficient in inducing the reactions with the lithium/zinc-TMP base at adjacent sites (e.g., by using 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)isoquinoline, 4-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-methoxypyridine, or 5-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine as the substrate), a behavior that has already been observed upon treatment with lithium amides under kinetic conditions. Finally, the iodinated biaryl derivatives were involved in palladium-catalyzed reactions. Copyright
