Living cationic polymerization of styrene was achieved with a series of initiating systems consisting of a HX-styrenic monomer adduct (X?=?Br, Cl) and ferric chloride (FeCl3) in conjunction with added salts such as tetrabutylammonium halides (nBu4N+Y-; Y-?=?Br-, Cl-, I-) or tetraalkylphosphonium bromides [nR′4PBr; R′?=?CH3CH2-, CH3(CH2)2CH2-, CH3(CH2)6CH2-] or tetraphenylphosphonium bromide [(C6H5)4PBr] in dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) and in toluene. Comparison of the molecular weight distributions (MWDs) of the polystyrenes prepared at different temperatures (e.g., -25?°C, 0?°C and 25?°C) showed that the polymerization is better controlled at ambient temperature (25?°C). The polymerization was almost instantaneous (completed within 1?min) and quantitative (yield ～100%) in CH2Cl2. In CH2Cl2, polystyrenes with moderately narrow (Mw/Mn?～?1.33-1.40) and broad (Mw/Mn?～?1.5-2.4) MWDs were obtained respectively with and without nBu4N+Y-. However, in toluene, the MWDs of the polystyrenes obtained respectively with and without nBu4N+Y-/nR′4P+Br- were moderately narrow (Mw/Mn?=?1.33-1.5) and extremely narrow (Mw/Mn?=?1.05-1.17). Livingness of this polymerization in CH2Cl2 was confirmed via monomer-addition experiment as well as from the study of molecular weights of obtained polystyrenes prepared simply by varying monomer to initiator ratio. A possible mechanistic pathway for this polymerization was suggested based on the results of the 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis of the model reactions as well as the end group analysis of the obtained polymer.

By the reactions of olefins with an equimolar mixture of SbCl5 and I2 in carbon tetrachloride, various chloroiodoalkanes are obtained in fair to good yields.This method is applicable to various deactivated olefins, the reactions of which to not proceed by the reported method using a mixture of CuCl2 and I2.Iodine monocloride can also be used for this reaction, but in this case both the yield and the regiospecificity of the products are sometimes inferior.

A nickel-catalyzed, multicomponent regio- and enantioselective coupling via sequential hydroformylation and carbonylation from readily available starting materials has been developed. This modular multicomponent hydrofunctionalization strategy enables the straightforward reductive hydrocarbonylation of a broad range of unactivated alkenes to produce a wide variety of unsymmetrical dialkyl ketones bearing a functionalized α-stereocenter, including enantioenriched chiral α-aryl ketones and α-amino ketones. It uses chiral bisoxazoline as a ligand, silane as a reductant, chloroformate as a safe CO source, and a racemic secondary benzyl chloride or an N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) ester of a protected α-amino acid as the alkylation reagent. The benign nature of this process renders this method suitable for late-stage functionalization of complex molecules.

This article describes the application of N-heterocyclic iod(az)olium salts (NHISs) as highly reactive organocatalysts. A variety of mono- and dicationic NHISs are described and utilized as potent XB-donors in halogen-bond catalysis. They were benchmarked in seven diverse test reactions in which the activation of carbon- and metal-chloride bonds as well as carbonyl and nitro groups was achieved. N-methylated dicationic NHISs rendered the highest reactivity in all investigated catalytic applications with reactivities even higher than all previously described monodentate XB-donors based on iodine(I) and (III) and the strong Lewis acid BF3.
Thiourea-Mediated Halogenation of Alcohols

The halogenation of alcohols under mild conditions expedited by the presence of substoichiometric amounts of thiourea additives is presented. The amount of thiourea added dictates the pathway of the reaction, which may diverge from the desired halogenation reaction toward oxidation of the alcohol, in the absence of thiourea, or toward starting material recovery when excess thiourea is used. Both bromination and chlorination were highly efficient for primary, secondary, tertiary, and benzyl alcohols and tolerate a broad range of functional groups. Detailed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies, isotopic labeling, and other control experiments suggest a radical-based mechanism. The fact that the reaction is carried out at ambient conditions, uses ubiquitous and inexpensive reagents, boasts a wide scope, and can be made highly atom economic, makes this new methodology a very appealing option for this archetypical organic reaction.

The first stereoconvergent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was developed to afford enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes. An iron-based complex containing a chiral cyanobis(oxazoline) ligand framework was best to obtain enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes from cross-coupling reactions between unactivated aryl boronic esters and benzylic chlorides. Enhanced yields were obtained when 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene was used as an additive, which is hypothesized to extend the lifetime of the iron-based catalyst. Exceptional enantioselectivities were obtained with challenging ortho-substituted benzylic chlorides. This journal is
Ferric chloride–catalyzed deoxygenative chlorination of carbonyl compounds: A comparison of chlorodimethylsilane and dichloromethylsilane system

Deoxygenative chlorination of carbonyl compounds using the HMe2SiCl/FeCl3/EtOAc and HMeSiCl2/FeCl3/EtOAc systems has been systemically investigated. The HMe2SiCl-FeCl3 system showed the advantages of good substrate applicability, mild reaction conditions, simple operation, low cost, and easy availability of raw materials. Also, it provided a simple and efficient synthesis route for carbonyl deoxychlorination via a one-pot method. Using the HMeSiCl2/FeCl3/EtOAc system, the β-methylchalcone derivative could be obtained in good yields in addition to obtaining the chlorinated compound. Finally, two plausible reaction routes were proposed to describe the formation of the chlorinated compound and the β-methylchalcone derivative.
Visible Light-Catalyzed Benzylic C-H Bond Chlorination by a Combination of Organic Dye (Acr+-Mes) and N-Chlorosuccinimide

By combining "N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS)"as the safe chlorine source with "Acr+-Mes"as the photocatalyst, we successfully achieved benzylic C-H bond chlorination under visible light irradiation. Furthermore, benzylic chlorides could be converted to benzylic ethers smoothly in a one-pot manner by adding sodium methoxide. This mild and scalable chlorination method worked effectively for diverse toluene derivatives, especially for electron-deficient substrates. Careful mechanistic studies supported that NCS provided a hydrogen abstractor "N-centered succinimidyl radical,"which was responsible for the cleavage of the benzylic C-H bond, relying on the reducing ability of Acr?-Mes.

We report that Mn(III)-iodosylarene porphyrins, [MnIII(Porp)(sArIO)]+, are capable of activating the C-H bonds of hydrocarbons, including unactivated alkanes such as cyclohexane, with unprecedented reactivities, such as a low kinetic isotope effect, a saturation behavior of reaction rates, and no electronic effect of porphyrin ligands on the reactivities of [MnIII(Porp)(sArIO)]+. In oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions, the sulfoxidation of para-X-substituted thioanisoles by [MnIII(Porp)(sArIO)]+ affords a very unusual behavior in the Hammett plot with the saturation behavior of reaction rates and no electronic effect of porphyrin ligands on reactivities. The reactivities and mechanisms of [MnIII(Porp)(sArIO)]+ are then compared with those of the corresponding MnIV(Porp)(O) complex. The present study reports the first example of highly reactive Mn(III)-iodosylarene porphyrins with unprecedented reactivities in C-H bond activation and OAT reactions.
