- Visible-Light-Induced Vicinal Dichlorination of Alkenes through LMCT Excitation of CuCl2
-
This work demonstrates photoredox vicinal dichlorination of alkenes, based on the homolysis of CuCl2 in response to irradiation with visible light. This catalysis proceeds via a ligand to metal charge transfer process and provides an exciting opportunity for the synthesis of 1,2-dichloride compounds using an inexpensive, low-molecular-weight chlorine source. This new process exhibits a wide substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, extraordinarily mild conditions and does not require external ligands. Mechanistic studies show that the ready formation of chlorine atom radicals is responsible for the facile formation of C?Cl bonds in this synthetic process.

- Green and Efficient: Iron-Catalyzed Selective Oxidation of Olefins to Carbonyls with O2
-
A mild and operationally simple iron-catalyzed protocol for the selective aerobic oxidation of aromatic olefins to carbonyl compounds is described. Catalyzed by a Fe(III) species bearing a pyridine bisimidazoline ligand at 1 atm of O2, α- and β-substituted styrenes were cleaved to afford benzaldehydes and aromatic ketones generally in high yields with excellent chemoselectivity and very good functional group tolerance, including those containing radical-sensitive groups. With α-halo-substituted styrenes, the oxidation took place with concomitant halide migration to afford α-halo acetophenones. Various observations have been made, pointing to a mechanism in which both molecular oxygen and the olefinic substrate coordinate to the iron center, leading to the formation of a dioxetane intermediate, which collapses to give the carbonyl product.

- Vicinal dichlorination of olefins using NH4Cl and oxone
-
A mild and efficient protocol for the preparation of 1,2-dichloroalkane derivatives from olefins using NH4Cl and Oxone at room temperature is described. A variety of terminal, internal, and cyclic alkenes reacted smoothly to give the corresponding dichlorinated products in good to excellent yields. Moreover, 1,2-disubstituted symmetrical and unsymmetrical olefins dichlorinated with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivity. This method precludes the use of acidic additives and transition metals in the synthesis of vicinal dichlorides.

- Effective Au(III)-CuCl2-catalyzed addition of alcohols to alkenes
-
Alkenes can be activated by Au(III) catalysts, and the effective addition of alcohols to alkenes can be carried out under mild conditions with Au(III), provided that catalytic amounts of CuCl2 are added, which significantly stabilize the cationic Au(III). The Royal Society of Chemistry.

- INVESTIGATIONS ON REACTIONS OF CHLORINE DIOXIDE AND SODIUM CHLORITE WITH ORGANIC COMPOUNDS. PART XXXV. REACTIONS OF CHLORINE DIOXIDE WITH RING-SUBSTITUTED STYRENES
-
Reactions of chlorine dioxide with ring substituted styrenes (1a-n) in carbon tetrachloride at 52-54 deg C were studied.The reaction products were isolated and characterised.It has been found that methyl-, chloro-, nitrostyrenes and 4-methoxystyrene are attacked by chlorine dioxide exclusively on the vinyl group, to yield the corresponding α-chloroacetophenones (2), diastereoisomers of β-chlorostyrene (6,7), oxidation products (8,9) and some polymers.Oxidation of its phenolic hydroxyl groups and vinyl polymerization took place in hydroxystyrenes.
