A series of racemic 2-[(2′-methoxybiphenyl-2-ylimino)methyl]-4-R 2-6-R1-phenols (L1H-L8H) were reacted with {Mg[N(SiMe3)2]2}2 and Ca[N(SiMe3)2]2·2THF (THF = tetrahydrofuran), respectively, to provide nine heteroleptic magnesium complexes L1-8MgN(SiMe3)2 [R1 = iPr, R2 = H (1a); R1 = tBu, R 2 = Me (2a and 2a·THF); R1 = R2 = tBu (3a); R1 = R2 = CMe2Ph (4a); R1 = CPh3, R2 = tBu (5a); R 1 = 1-piperidinylmethyl, R2 = tBu (6a); R 1 = Cl, R2 = tBu (7a); R1 = Br, R2 = tBu (8a)], two homoleptic calcium complexes (L 2,5)2Ca (2b and 5b), and one heteroleptic calcium complex [(L4)CaN(SiMe3)2·THF] (4b), which have been fully characterized. In the solid state, magnesium complexes 2a and 6a are isostructural, and each possesses a monomeric structure, while magnesium complexes 7a and 8a are dimeric, where the two metal centers are bridged by two phenolate oxygen atoms of the ligands. The coordination geometry around the magnesium center in these complexes can be best described as a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Although bearing the same iminophenoloate ligand, the molecular structures of complexes 2a and 2a·THF are different from each other. In complex 2a·THF, the coordination of one molecule of THF to the magnesium atom leads to dissociation of the methoxy group of the ligand from the metal center. The homoleptic calcium complex 2b has a six-coordinate metal core ligated by all six donor atoms of two iminophenolate ligands. The heteroleptic magnesium complexes 1a-8a and calcium complex 4b proved to be efficient initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide at ambient temperature in THF or at 70 C in toluene, and the polymerizations were better controlled in the presence of 2-propanol. The introduction of a bulky ortho substituent on the phenoxy unit of the ligand resulted in an increase of the catalytic activity of the corresponding metal complex. Microstructure analysis of the resultant poly(rac-lactide) samples via homonuclear-decoupled 1H NMR spectroscopy revealed Pr values ranging from 0.60 to 0.81, which closely depended on the employed catalyst and polymerization conditions.

Scalable electrochemical synthesis of diaryliodonium salts
Elsherbini, Mohamed,Moran, Wesley J.

Cyclic and acyclic diaryliodonium are synthesised by anodic oxidation of iodobiaryls and iodoarene/arene mixtures, respectively, in a simple undivided electrolysis cell in MeCN-HFIP-TfOH without any added electrolyte salts. This atom efficient process does not require chemical oxidants and generates no chemical waste. More than 30 cyclic and acyclic diaryliodonium salts with different substitution patterns were prepared in very good to excellent yields. The reaction was scaled-up to 10 mmol scale giving more than four grams of dibenzo[b,d]iodol-5-ium trifluoromethanesulfonate (>95%) in less than three hours. The solvent mixture of the large-scale experiment was recovered (>97%) and recycled several times without significant reduction in yield.
Photocatalytic xanthate-based radical addition/cyclization reaction sequence toward 2-biphenyl isocyanides: Synthesis of 6-alkylated phenanthridines

A photocatalytic xanthate-based radical addition/cyclization reaction cascade toward 2-biphenylisocyanides is described as a practical and modular approach to 6-alkylated phenanthridines. The use of xanthates as radical precursors allowed the synthesis of diversely 6-substituted phenanthridines. Electrophilic radicals derived from nitriles, aromatic and aliphatic ketones, malonates, and amide derivatives, as well as radicals derived from phthalimidomethyl and benzylic derivatives were successfully introduced. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions without a stoichiometric amount of oxidant. Thirty novel phenanthridine scaffolds were synthesized with yields ranging from 24 to 76%.
