A quantitative Lewis acidity/basicity scale toward boron-centered Lewis acids has been developed based on a set of 90 experimental equilibrium constants for the reactions of triarylboranes with various O-, N-, S-, and P-centered Lewis bases in dichloromethane at 20 °C. Analysis with the linear free energy relationship log KB=LAB+LBB allows equilibrium constants, KB, to be calculated for any type of borane/Lewis base combination through the sum of two descriptors, one for Lewis acidity (LAB) and one for Lewis basicity (LBB). The resulting Lewis acidity/basicity scale is independent of fixed reference acids/bases and valid for various types of trivalent boron-centered Lewis acids. It is demonstrated that the newly developed Lewis acidity/basicity scale is easily extendable through linear relationships with quantum-chemically calculated or common physical–organic descriptors and known thermodynamic data (ΔH (Formula presented.)). Furthermore, this experimental platform can be utilized for the rational development of borane-catalyzed reactions.

The photorelease of bioactive molecules has emerged as a valuable tool in biochemistry. Nevertheless, many important bioactive molecules, such as pyridine derivatives, cannot benefit from currently available organic photoremovable protecting groups (PPGs). We found that the inefficient photorelease of pyridines is attributed to intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from PPGs to pyridinium ions. To alleviate PET, we rationally designed a strategy to drive the excited state of PPG from S1 to T1 with a heavy atom, and synthesized a new PPG by substitution of the H atom at the 3-position of 7-dietheylamino-coumarin-4-methyl (DEACM) with Br or I. This resulted in an improved photolytic efficiency of the pyridinium ion by hundreds-fold in aqueous solution. The PPG can be applied to various pyridine derivatives. The successful photorelease of a microtubule inhibitor, indibulin, in living cells was demonstrated for the potential application of this strategy in biochemical research.

Page/Page column 11-12, (2017/07/11)
The present invention provides a homogeneous process for hydrodehalogenating a halo-substituted C3-C20 heteroaryl starting material to form a non-halogenated C3-C20 heteroaryl product and/or a halo- substituted C3-C20 heteroaryl product, wherein the halo-substituted C3-C20 heteroaryl product has at least one less halogen substituents than the halo-substituted C3-C20 heteroaryl starting material, the process comprising the step of hydrogenating the halo-substituted C3-C20 heteroaryl starting material in the presence of a rhodium or ruthenium complex, molecular hydrogen, a base and a solvent, wherein the process is carried out in a monophasic solvent system and the molar ratio of base to each halogen substituent to be removed is at least 1 :1.
