Free-radical chain generation of ketene during the synthesis of liquid crystalline aromatic polyesters

At the high temperatures used for the preparation of liquid crystalline aromatic polyesters (LCPs), ketene cleavage occurred from acetoxyarenes. Ketene is known to oligomerize to colored oligomers which may be responsible for an undesirable yellow color i

Energy-Transfer-Mediated Photocatalysis by a Bioinspired Organic Perylenephotosensitizer HiBRCP

Energy transfer plays a special role in photocatalysis by utilizing the potential energy of the excited state through indirect excitation, in which a photosensitizer determines the thermodynamic feasibility of the reaction. Bioinspired by the energy-transfer ability of natural product cercosporin, here we developed a green and highly efficient organic photosensitizer HiBRCP (hexaisobutyryl reduced cercosporin) through structural modification of cercosporin. After structural manipulation, its triplet energy was greatly improved, and then, it could markedly promote the efficient geometrical isomerization of alkenes from the E-isomer to the Z-isomer. Moreover, it was also effective for energy-transfer-mediated organometallic catalysis, which allowed realization of the cross-coupling of aryl bromides and carboxylic acids through efficient energy transfer from HiBRCP to nickel complexes. Thus, the study on the relationship between structural manipulation and their photophysical properties provided guidance for further modification of cercosporin, which could be applied to more meaningful and challenging energy-transfer reactions.

7,10-Dibromo-2,3-dicyanopyrazinophenanthrene Aggregates as a Photosensitizer for Nickel-Catalyzed Aryl Esterification

Self-assembled aggregates of 7,10-dibromo-2,3-dicyanopyrazinophenanthrene which act as a new organophotocatalyst in combination with Ni catalyst for the C aryl-O acylcross-coupling reactions of carboxylic acids with aryl halides are described. This visible-light-induced C aryl-O acylbond-formation reaction proceeds smoothly to afford aryl esters with satisfactory to excellent yields.
