Five organic redox systems were examined in aqueous electrolytes on polished and chemically modified glassy carbon (GC), to evaluate the effects of surface structure on the heterogeneous transfer rate constant, k°. Methyl viologen reduction to its cation radical exhibited a voltammetric peak potential difference which was insensitive to surface modification, with k°decreasing by only 50% when a chemisorbed monolayer was present. Methylene blue and three other phenothiazines adsorbed to polished GC, but the adsorption was suppressed by surface modification. For all four phenothiazines, chemisorbed or physisorbed monolayers of electroinactive species had minor effects on k°, with a compact nitrophenyl monolayer decreasing k°by 50%. This minor change in k°was accompanied by a major decrease in adsorption, apparently due to inhibition of dipole-dipole or π- π interactions between the phenothiazine and GC. Chlorpromazine oxidation to its cation radical was studied in more detail, under conditions where adsorption was suppressed. A plot of the natural log of the observed rate constant vs the monolayer thickness for a variety of chemisorbed monolayers was linear, with a slope of -0.22 A-1. The observations are consistent with a through-bond electron-tunneling mechanism for electron transfer to all five redox systems studied. The tunneling constant for CPZ of 0.22 A-1 is between that reported for electron tunneling through conjugated polyene spacers (0.14 A-1) and that reported for phenyl-methylene spacers (0.57 A-1), on the basis of long-range electron transfer in rigid molecules.

Porous organic polymers (POPs) have received much attention, due to their multiple potential applications and flexibility in chemical structure design. Creation of a novel chemical structure has been the central task in the research of POPs, which are usually constructed by direct coupling polymerizations. The fascinating rearrangement/tautomerization could lead to some novel structures, which are hard to access by conventional direct coupling polymerizations. Herein, the tautomerization from tris(β-hydroxyl-azo)benzene to the tris(β-keto-hydrozo)cyclohexane structure has been proved unambiguously based on an advanced 2D NMR technique such as 15N-1H-HSQC and 1H-1H-NOESY. The crucial tautomerization was used to synthesize TKH-POPs for the first time. The as-synthesized TKH-POP-1 was found to have an adsorption capacity as high as 66.3 mmol g-1 (at 273 K and P/P0 = 0.98) towards acetonitrile vapor, which was the highest among all the reported materials. The general and flexible strategy to make functional POPs with tunable pores such as ultramicropores, micropores and mesopores will help develop interesting functional POPs in the near future.

Given their ubiquity in natural products and pharmaceuticals, alcohols represent one of the most attractive starting materials for the construction of C-C bonds. We report herein the first catalytic strategy to harness the reactivity of aryl radicals for the activation of C-O bonds in alcohol-derived xanthate esters, allowing for the discovery of the first catalytic deoxygenative difluoromethylation reaction. Under copper-catalyzed conditions, a wide variety of alkyl xanthate esters, readily synthesized from alcohol feedstocks, were activated by catalytically generated aryl radicals and were converted to the alkyl-difluoromethane products via alkyl radical intermediates. This scalable protocol exhibits a broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance, enabling late-stage modification of complex pharmaceutical agents. A one-pot protocol has been developed that allows for the direct use of free alcohols without purification of the xanthate esters. Mechanistic studies are consistent with the hypothesis of aryl radicals being formed and initiating the cleavage of the C-O bonds of xanthate esters, to generate alkyl radicals as the key intermediates. This aryl radical activation approach represents a new strategy for the activation of alcohols as cross-coupling partners.
Aqueous and Visible-Light-Promoted C-H (Hetero)arylation of Uracil Derivatives with Diazoniums

, p. 16434 - 16447 (2021/11/16)
Direct C5 (hetero)arylation of uracil and uridine substrates with (hetero)aryl diazonium salts under photoredox catalysis with blue light was reported. The coupling proceeds efficiently with diazonium salts and heterocycles in good functional group tolerance at room temperature in aqueous solution without transition-metal components. A plausible radical mechanism has been proposed.
