We describe a photocatalytic system that elicits potent photoreductant activity from conventional photocatalysts by leveraging radical anion intermediates generated in situ. The combination of an isophthalonitrile photocatalyst and sodium formate promotes diverse aryl radical coupling reactions from abundant but difficult to reduce aryl chloride substrates. Mechanistic studies reveal two parallel pathways for substrate reduction both enabled by a key terminal reductant byproduct, carbon dioxide radical anion.

A series of oligomers, the hetero-coupled mono-terminated di-tert-butyl-substituted phenylene ethynylene dimer, trimer, tetramer, and pentamer have been successfully synthesized in a stepwise process and characterized. Their electronic properties have bee

Despite steric shielding by the 2,6-di-tert-butylphenyl group (super-2,6-xylyl=xyl*), inexpensive sodium phenolate (xyl*-ONa) reacts with dimethyl sulfate to produce only xyl*-OCH3 (94%) with complete suppression of the alternative 4-methylation. Reductive cleavage of xyl*-OCH3 by elemental lithium with the help of an electron carrier generates xyl*-Li, which in turn yields xyl*-CO2H (63%). The corresponding 4-methyl-derivatives of these compounds were obtained analogously. The acid chloride xyl*-COCl (77% yield) acylates HalMgCH 2R to give only xyl*-COCH3 (86%) or xyl*-COEt (97%). These two ketones react with n-butyllithium (no carbonyl addition) and Cl-PO(OEt)2 to furnish only the enol phosphates xyl*-C(=CH 2)OPO(OEt)2 (84%) or xyl*-C(=CHCH 3)OPO(OEt)2 (up to 70%), respectively. Only 1,2-elimination occurs when the latter two products are treated with tert-butyllithium, affording xyl*-CCH (68%) or xyl*-CCMe (88%), respectively. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart - New York.
