The unprecedented synthesis of regioregular head-to-tail-type poly(1,4-arylene)s bearing different substituents at the 2- and 5-positions is described. They were prepared by the polymerization of 2,5-disubstituted bromo(chloro)arylenes by selective halogen–metal exchange with a Grignard reagent and subsequent cross-coupling polymerization with a nickel catalyst [NiCl2(dppp)]. Formation of the regioregular poly(1,4-arylene)s were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, and showed remarkable differences to those polymers having uncontrolled regioregularity. Polymerization of bromo(chloro)arylenes with a chiral alkoxy substituent also led to the regioregular head-to-tail-type polyarylene, which demonstrated circular dichroism, thus suggesting formation of a structure with higher-order regularity.

para-Selective hydroxylation of alkyl aryl ethers is established, which proceeds with a ruthenium(ii) catalyst, hypervalent iodine(iii) and trifluoroacetic anhydride via a radical mechanism. This protocol tolerates a wide scope of substrates and provides a facile and efficient method for preparing clinical drugs monobenzone and pramocaine on a gram scale.

Gentisyl alcohol-type natural products, possessing various important biological properties, have been synthesized from 4-methoxyphenol by using a selective phenol monohydroxymethylation/monochlorination, a CAN oxidation and a sodium dithionite reduction as the key steps. The natural product synthesis is efficient, atom- and step-economical, and requires no protecting groups.
