- Post-polymerisation modification of surface chemical functionality and its effect on protein binding
-
Derivatisation of polystyrene by carbene insertions followed by diazonium coupling permits the introduction of diverse chemical functionality, providing access to materials with similar bulk properties, but in which surface chemical characteristics are systematically varied across a range of surface polarity, hydration and non-bonding interaction behaviour. Protein binding experiments with bovine serum albumin demonstrate that protein adhesion is dependent upon the identity of the surface chemical group, with tert-butyl, hexyl, dimethylamino, amino, and carboxyl modified systems all exhibiting higher levels of binding, while glycol, hydroxyl, and phosphonate give similar or lower levels of binding, relative to the control. This behaviour has been shown to be time dependent, and an approximate trend of protein binding with cheminformatic descriptors %PSA and contact angle was observed.

- Controlling the Degree of Functionalization: In-Depth Quantification and Side-Product Analysis of Diazonium Chemistry on SWCNTs
-
We present an in-depth qualitative and quantitative analysis of a reaction between 4-iodobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) via thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry (TG-MS) or a gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (TG-GC-MS) as well as Raman spectroscopy. We propose a method for precise determination of the degree of functionalization and quantification of physisorbed aromates, detaching around their boiling point, alongside covalently bonded ones (cleavage over 200 °C). While the presence of some side products like phenol- or biphenyl species could be excluded, residual surfactant and minor amounts of benzene could be identified. A concentration-dependent experiment shows that the degree of functionalization increases with the logarithm of the concentration of applied diazonium salt, which can be exploited to precisely adjust the amount of aryl addends on the nanotube sidewall, up to 1 moiety per 100 carbon atoms.

- Metal-Free Visible-Light Synthesis of Arylsulfonyl Fluorides: Scope and Mechanism
-
The first metal-free procedure for the synthesis of arylsulfonyl fluorides is reported. Under organo-photoredox conditions, aryl diazonium salts react with a readily available SO2 source (DABSO) to afford the desired product through simple nucleophilic fluorination. The reaction tolerates the presence of both electron-rich and -poor aryls and demonstrated a broad functional group tolerance. To shed the light on the reaction mechanism, several experimental techniques were combined, including fluorescence, NMR, and EPR spectroscopy as well as DFT calculations.

- Modular and Selective Arylation of Aryl Germanes (C?GeEt3) over C?Bpin, C?SiR3 and Halogens Enabled by Light-Activated Gold Catalysis
-
Selective C (Formula presented.) –C (Formula presented.) couplings are powerful strategies for the rapid and programmable construction of bi- or multiaryls. To this end, the next frontier of synthetic modularity will likely arise from harnessing the coupling space that is orthogonal to the powerful Pd-catalyzed coupling regime. This report details the realization of this concept and presents the fully selective arylation of aryl germanes (which are inert under Pd0/PdII catalysis) in the presence of the valuable functionalities C?BPin, C?SiMe3, C?I, C?Br, C?Cl, which in turn offer versatile opportunities for diversification. The protocol makes use of visible light activation combined with gold catalysis, which facilitates the selective coupling of C?Ge with aryl diazonium salts. Contrary to previous light-/gold-catalyzed couplings of Ar–N2+, which were specialized in Ar–N2+ scope, we present conditions to efficiently couple electron-rich, electron-poor, heterocyclic and sterically hindered aryl diazonium salts. Our computational data suggest that while electron-poor Ar–N2+ salts are readily activated by gold under blue-light irradiation, there is a competing dissociative deactivation pathway for excited electron-rich Ar–N2+, which requires an alternative photo-redox approach to enable productive couplings.

- RhIII-Catalyzed Synthesis of Highly Substituted 2-Pyridones using Fluorinated Diazomalonate
-
A RhIII-catalyzed strategy was developed for the rapid construction of highly substituted 2-pyridone scaffolds using α,β-unsaturated oximes and fluorinated diazomalonate. The reaction proceeds through direct, site-selective alkylation based on migratory insertion and subsequent cyclocondensation. A wide substrate scope with different functional groups was explored. The requirement of fluorinated diazomalonate was explored for this transformation. The developed methodology was further extended with the synthesis of the bioactive compound.

- Photoactivated cell-killing involving a low molecular weight, donor-acceptor diphenylacetylene
-
Photoactivation of photosensitisers can be utilised to elicit the production of ROS, for potential therapeutic applications, including the destruction of diseased tissues and tumours. A novel class of photosensitiser, exemplified by DC324, has been designed possessing a modular, low molecular weight and 'drug-like' structure which is bioavailable and can be photoactivated by UV-A/405 nm or corresponding two-photon absorption of near-IR (800 nm) light, resulting in powerful cytotoxic activity, ostensibly through the production of ROS in a cellular environment. A variety of in vitro cellular assays confirmed ROS formation and in vivo cytotoxic activity was exemplified via irradiation and subsequent targeted destruction of specific areas of a zebrafish embryo.

- Additions to N-Sulfinylamines as an Approach for the Metal-free Synthesis of Sulfonimidamides: O-Benzotriazolyl Sulfonimidates as Activated Intermediates
-
Sulfonimidamides are obtained in moderate to very good yields from the key intermediates O-benzotriazolyl sulfonimidates, which are formed by reacting aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates, N-tritylsulfinylamine, and N-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate in a process mediated by a tertiary amine. The formation of the sulfonimidate proceeds in inexpensive and environmentally benign dimethyl carbonate as the solvent, it does not require anhydrous conditions, and the product yields generally exceed 70 %. The substrate scope is broad, and a wide range of sensitive organic functionalities is well tolerated. The reactions probably proceed via aryl radicals formed from diazonium cations with assistance from both the tertiary amine and the sulfinylamine.

Transition metal-free radical arylation of heteroarenes is achieved at room temperature by simply adding aqueous sodium carbonate to a solution of the corresponding heteroarene and arenediazonium salt, which can even be formed in situ. Such an easy, inexpensive and mild methodology has been optimized and applied to the expeditious modification of interesting molecular cores like naphthylimide or bisthienylcyclopentenes.

- Palladium catalyzed stereocontrolled synthesis of C-aryl glycosides using glycals and arenediazonium salts at room temperature
-
A stereocontrolled synthesis of aryl-C-glycosides was achieved using glycals and aryldiazonium salts in the presence of palladium acetate. A wide range of glycals including d-glucal, d-galactal, l-rhamnal, d-xylal and d-ribal underwent C-arylation at the anomeric carbon in the presence of different aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates and gave synthetically useful 2,3-deoxy-3-keto-α-aryl-C-glycosides in good to excellent yields. Broad substrate scope, simple operation and room temperature reactions make this protocol very attractive in organic synthesis.

The use of a dual palladium/organic photoredox catalytic system enables the directed arylation of arenes with aryldiazonium salts with a broad substrate scope at room temperature under mild reaction conditions. This study thus serves as not only an alternative route for the biaryl motifs but also a new example for the application of an organic photoredox catalyst.

- Gold-catalysed cross-coupling between aryldiazonium salts and arylboronic acids: Probing the usefulness of photoredox conditions
-
The synthesis of biaryl compounds from aryldiazonium salts and arylboronic acids was achieved using PPh3AuCl as catalyst, CsF as base and acetonitrile as solvent. Combined to photosensitizers, irradiation by blue LEDs allowed accelerating the reaction and expanding its scope. Various functional groups were compatible including bromoaryls, iodoaryls, aldehydes and alcohols. A 2-iodobenzyl alcohol moiety was smoothly introduced by this method, enabling its consecutive isotopic labelling by a Pd-catalysed alkoxycarbonylation.
