Catalytic activation of unstrained and nonpolar C-C bonds remains a largely unmet challenge. Here, we describe our detailed efforts in developing a rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of unstrained C(aryl)-C(alkyl) bonds in 2,2′-methylenediphenols aided by removable directing groups. Good yields of the monophenol products are obtained with tolerating a wide range of functional groups. In addition, the reaction is scalable, and the catalyst loading can be reduced to as low as 0.5 mol %. Moreover, this method proves to be effective to cleave C(aryl)-C(alkyl) linkages in both models of phenolic resins and commercial novolacs resins. Finally, detailed experimental and computational mechanistic studies show that with C-H activation being a competitive but reversible off-cycle reaction, this transformation goes through a directed C(aryl)-C(alkyl) oxidative addition pathway.

The electrophotocatalytic heterofunctionalization of arenes is described. Using 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanoquinone (DDQ) under a mild electrochemical potential with visible-light irradiation, arenes undergo oxidant-free hydroxylation, alkoxylation, and amination with high chemoselectivity. In addition to batch reactions, an electrophotocatalytic recirculating flow process is demonstrated, enabling the conversion of benzene to phenol on a gram scale.

A new procedure for the highly regioselective aerobic bromination of aromatic compounds in the presence of copper-based nanoparticles (CuO/ZnO nanocatalyst) under reflux condition is described. Mechanistic parameters are discussed and the plausible mechanism is proposed. Recyclability of the CuO/ZnO nanocatalyst has also been explored upon aerobic bromination of aromatic compounds.

The regioselective mono-bromination of phenols has been successfully developed with KBr and ZnAl–BrO3?–layered double hydroxides (abbreviated as ZnAl–BrO3?–LDHs) as brominating reagents. The para site is much favorable and the ortho site takes the priority if para site is occupied. This reaction featured with excellent regioselectivity, cheap brominating reagents, mild reaction condition, high atom economy, broad substrate scope, and provided an efficient method to synthesize bromophenols.

A convenient, rapid H2SO4-promoted regioselective monobromination reaction with N-bromosuccinimide was developed. The desired para-monobrominated or ortho-monobrominated products of phenol derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields with high selectivity. Regioselective chlorination and iodination were also achieved in the presence of H2SO4 using N-chlorosuccinimide and N-iodosuccinimide, respectively.
Novel pleconaril derivatives: Influence of substituents in the isoxazole and phenyl rings on the antiviral activity against enteroviruses

Today, there are no medicines to treat enterovirus and rhinovirus infections. In the present study, a series of novel pleconaril derivatives with substitutions in the isoxazole and phenyl rings was synthesized and evaluated for their antiviral activity against a panel of pleconaril-sensitive and -resistant enteroviruses. Studies of the structure-activity relationship demonstrate the crucial role of the N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl group in the isoxazole ring for antiviral activity against pleconaril-resistant viruses. In addition, one or two substituents in the phenyl ring directly impact on the spectrum of antienteroviral activity. The 3-(3-methyl-4-(3-(3-N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl-isoxazol-5-yl)propoxy)phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole 10g was among the compounds exhibiting the strongest activity against pleconaril-resistant as well as pleconaril-susceptible enteroviruses with IC50 values from 0.02 to 5.25 μM in this series. Compound 10g demonstrated markedly less CYP3A4 induction than pleconaril, was non-mutagenic, and was bioavailable after intragastric administration in mice. These results highlight compound 10g as a promising potential candidate as a broad spectrum enterovirus and rhinovirus inhibitor for further preclinical investigations.

This article first time describes triphosgene (BTC) as an oxidant while the non-toxic and easy-to-handle potassium bromide (KBr) as the source of bromine to the bromination reaction of aromatic substrates. The novel brominating protocol gives excellent para-regioselectivity of the alkoxyl/hydroxyl arenes and high yield, offering good potential of commercial scale applications. The mechanism of “Triphosgene oxidize bromide” was proposed.

A main difficulty in C-H bond functionalization is to undertake the catalyst control accurately where the reaction takes place. In this work, to achieve highly effective and regioselective single-site catalysts, a three-dimensional (3D) rhombus-like framework of {[Mn(Hidbt)DMF]·H2O}n (1) [H3idbt = 5,5′-(1H-imidazole-4,5-diyl)-bis(2H-tetrazole)] containing coordinated DMF molecules was constructed. For the dissolution-recrystallization structural transformation process, attractive structural transformations proceeded from 1 to a new crystalline species formulated as {[Mn3(idbt)2(H2O)2]·3H2O}n (2) with a 3D windowlike architecture, and then the Mn ions in 2 could be exchanged with Cu ions through cation exchange in a single-crystal to single-crystal fashion to produce the Cu-exchanged product {[Mn2Cu(idbt)2(H2O)2]·3H2O}n (2a), which had a windowlike framework like that of 2. Furthermore, 2 and 2a were used as heterogeneous catalysts for the regioselective C-H halogenation of phenols with N-halosuccinimides (NCS and NBS) to produce the site selective single monohalogenated products. It was found that the catalytic activity and site selectivity of 2a were much higher than those of 2, because the unique structural features of 2a with the uniformly dispersed CuII active centers served as a single-site catalyst with a site-isolated and well-defined platform to promote the C-H halogenation reaction in regiocontrol and guide an orientation that favored the para selectivity during the reaction process.

In this work, an unexpected promoting effect of by-product thioether was observed, leading to a mild and regioselective bromination of phenols with TMSBr. This method can tolerate a series of functional groups such as the reactive methoxyl, amide, fluoro, chloro, bromo, aldehyde, ketone and ester groups, and has the potential to recycle the by-product thioether and isolate the desired product under column chromatography-free conditions. Mechanism studies revealed that O–H···S hydrogen bond may be formed between phenol and by-product thioether. Possibly owing to the steric hindrance effect from by-product thioether, the electrophilic bromination at para-position of phenols is much favorable.
