Described herein is a palladium-catalyzed dearomative annulation of alkyl bromoarenes with internal alkynes. Challenges in this spiroannulation include the chemoselectivity among [2 + 2 + 1], [2 + 2 + 2], and [3 + 2] annulations and the E/Z-selectivity associated with the generated exocyclic double bond. In the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and a phosphine ligand, a variety of highly functionalized spirocyclopentadienes with an exocyclic carbon-carbon double bond are provided in good to excellent yields with high chemo-, regio-, and E/Z-selectivity via a Heck-type pathway.

The versatility of the trityl cation (TrBF4) as a highly efficient Lewis acid organocatalyst is demonstrated in a light induced benzylic brominaion of alkyl-arenes under mild conditions. The reaction was conducted at ambient temperature under common hood light (55 W fluorescent light) with catalyst loadings down to 2.0 mol% using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as the brominating agent. The protocol is applicable to an extensive number of substrates to give benzyl bromides in good to excellent yields. In contrast to most previously reported strategies, this protocol does not require any radical initiator or extensive heating. For electron-rich alkyl-arenes, the trityl ion catalyzed bromination could be easily switched between benzylic sp3 C?H functionalization and arene sp2 C?H functionalization by simply alternating the solvent. This chemoselective switch allows for high substrate control and easy preparation of benzyl bromides and bromoarenes, respectively. The chemoselective switch was also applied in a one-pot reaction of 1-methylnaphthalene for direct introduction of both sp3 C?Br and sp2 C?Br functionality. (Figure presented.).

Platinum tetrakis(2,4,6-triethylphenyl)porphyrin (Pt-1) was synthesized and its structural (X-ray), electrochemical and photophysical properties were fully characterized. Comparative studies of Pt-1 and its unsubstituted analog PtTPP show the effect of sterically congesting ortho-substituents on the dynamics of the triplet excited states. Lowered quenching rates by 3-4 times were observed for Pt-1vs. PtTPP in the presence of oxygen and perylene, and in concentration (self)-quenching experiments.
Atroposelectivity in the electrophilic substitution reactions of laterally lithiated and silylated tertiary amides

Lateral lithiation-electrophilic quench of 2-alkyl-1-naphthamides and 2,6-dialkylbenzamides yields products containing an atropisomeric Ar-CO axis and a new stereogenic centre with high (generally >95:5) diastereo-selectivity. With imines as electrophiles, single diastereoisomers containing an atropisomeric axis and two new stereogenic centres are formed. 2,6-Dialkylbenzamides may be functionalised stereoselectively at both the 2- and 6-positions, leading (with imines) to symmetrical compounds bearing 1,7-related stereogenic centres. 2-Alkylbenzamides with only one ortho alkyl group are not atropisomeric at ambient temperature but are functionalised diastereoselectively by lateral lithiation-electrophilic quench at - 78°C. Stabilisation of the atropisomeric products by further lithiation and alkylation proves their diastereoselective formation. The lack of stereospecificity in the fluoride-promoted reaction of a laterally silylated 1-naphthamide with an aldehyde suggests that reported reactions of laterally silylated benzamides may also be controlled by the rotationally restricted amide group.
Remote stereocontrol using rotationally restricted amides: (1,5)-Asymmetric induction

The stereochemical influence of a rotationally restricted amide group extends widely across substituted aromatic amides. Stereogenic centres can be created with high levels of (1,5)-stereocontrol when electrophiles are added to the enolates of 2-ketonaphthamides or to lithiated 2-alkylnaphthamides. Sequential double lateral lithiation of 2,6-dialkylbenzamides can lead to compounds containing (1,5) related stereogenic centres by a process of two-directional asymmetric induction.

Thermal and reversible dissociation of organic distannanes, R3Sn-SnR3 (1) * 2 R3Sn. (2), have been found for the first time when a sufficient strain in 1 was generated by bulky substituents.For this, the residues R = phenyl, cyclohexyl, 1-adamantyl are not sufficient up to 230 deg C, but with R = 2,4,6-trialkylphenyl the dissociation temperature (ESR) is lowered to 20 deg C in the series alkyl = Me, Et, iPr.The ESR spectra of stannyl radicals 2 as well as $vSn-Sn(sym.) , δHDiss., and EA values for 1 are reported.New distannanes 1 and corresponding compounds R3SnBr and R3SnH are described.
