- Azo bond formation on metal surfaces
-
The formation of azo compounds via redox cross-coupling of nitroarenes and arylamines, challenging in solution phase chemistry, is achieved by on-surface chemistry. Reaction products are analyzed with a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). By using well-designed precursors containing both an amino and a nitro functionality, azo polymers are prepared on surface via highly efficient nitro-amino cross-coupling. Experiments conducted on other substrates and surface orientations reveal that the metal surface has a significant effect on the reaction efficiency. The reaction was further found to proceed from partially oxidized/reduced precursors in dimerization reactions, shedding light on the mechanism that was studied by DFT calculations.

- Redox-Neutral Selenium-Catalysed Isomerisation of para-Hydroxamic Acids into para-Aminophenols
-
A selenium-catalysed para-hydroxylation of N-aryl-hydroxamic acids is reported. Mechanistically, the reaction comprises an N?O bond cleavage and consecutive selenium-induced [2,3]-rearrangement to deliver para-hydroxyaniline derivatives. The mechanism is studied through both 18O-crossover experiments as well as quantum chemical calculations. This redox-neutral transformation provides an unconventional synthetic approach to para-aminophenols.

- Practical bromination of arylhydroxylamines with SOBr2 towards ortho-bromo-anilides
-
A facile approach for synthesizing ortho-bromoanilides from readily available aryhydroxylamines and thionyl bromide is demonstrated in this work. Mild reaction conditions and broad scope of substrates ranging from heterocyclic structures to pharmaceutics-potential motifs are used in the reactions of this paper. Efficient bromination of ortho C–H bonds of the aryhydroxylamines has been achieved. Ortho-bromoanilide products were obtained in good to excellent yields, and model scaled-up reactions of this synthetic approach are shown in this work.

- Tandem selective reduction of nitroarenes catalyzed by palladium nanoclusters
-
We report a catalytic tandem reduction of nitroarenes by sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in aqueous solution under ambient conditions, which can selectively produce five categories of nitrogen-containing compounds: anilines, N-aryl hydroxylamines, azoxy-, azo- and hydrazo-compounds. The catalyst is in situ-generated ultrasmall palladium nanoclusters (Pd NCs, diameter of 1.3 ± 0.3 nm) from the reduction of Pd(OAc)2 by NaBH4. These highly active Pd NCs are stabilized by surface-coordinated nitroarenes, which inhibit the further growth and aggregation of Pd NCs. By controlling the concentration of Pd(OAc)2 (0.1-0.5 mol% of nitroarene) and NaBH4, the water/ethanol solvent ratio and the tandem reaction sequence, each of the five categories of N-containing compounds can be obtained with excellent yields (up to 98%) in less than 30 min at room temperature. This tunable catalytic tandem reaction works efficiently with a broad range of nitroarene substrates and offers a green and sustainable method for the rapid and large-scale production of valuable N-containing chemicals.

- A general and scalable synthesis of polysubstituted indoles
-
A consecutive 2-step synthesis of N-unprotected polysubstituted indoles bearing an electron-withdrawing group at the C-3 position from readily available nitroarenes is reported. The protocol is based on the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of N-oxyenamines generated by the DABCO-catalyzed reaction of N-arylhydroxylamines and conjugated terminal alkynes, and delivers indoles endowed with a wide array of substitution patterns and topologies.

- Cascade Approach to Highly Functionalized Biaryls by a Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution with Arylhydroxylamines
-
A transition-metal free synthesis of highly functionalized 2-hydroxy-2′-amino-1,1′-biaryls from N-arylhydroxylamines has been developed. This operationally simple and readily scalable approach relies on a cascade of reactions that initially generates transient N,O-diarylhydroxylamines, via direct O-arylation, which then undergo rapid [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement and subsequent rearomatization to form NOBIN-type products. These structurally diverse functionalized biaryls are obtained under mild conditions in good to excellent isolated yields.

- Kinetics and Mechanism of the Bamberger Rearrangement. Part 4. Rearrangement of Sterically Hindered Phenylhydroxylamines to 4-Aminophenols in Aqueous Sulphuric Acid Solution
-
The rates of the Bamberger rearrangement of sterically hindered phenylhydroxylamines have been determined in aqueous sulphuric acid solution and the substituent effects (in particular, the steric effects) are discussed.The rate constants for phenylhydroxylamines with 2-substituents (Me, Cl, I) satisfied the Taft equation: log krel = ρ*?* - δES with ρ*-1.93 and δ-1.16.The result shows that steric hindrance of the substituents, in addition to the electron-donating effect, has an accelerating effect on the rates of the Bamberger rearrangement.The rate constants for 3-substituted 2-methylphenylhydroxylamines were generally greater than those for 5-substituted 2-methylphenylhydroxylamines.The difference was attributed to the 'buttressing effect' of neighbouring 3-substituents.This is the first example of steric acceleration of the Bamberger rearrangement.
