Studies under continuous irradiation of photochromic spiro [fluorenopyranthioxanthenes]

New indeno-fused spiro[benzopyran-thioxanthenes] were synthesized (see 3a-d in Scheme3) and their photochromic properties evaluated under continuous irradiation (Table 1). When submitted to irradiation for several minutes with a Xe lamp, the system behaved as one constituted by two open colored forms with different thermal bleaching rates and different susceptibilities to degradation. An increase in irradiation time led to significant degradation and to the apparent predominance of the open colored form with the faster bleaching rate.

Catalytic SNAr Hydroxylation and Alkoxylation of Aryl Fluorides

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) is a powerful strategy for incorporating a heteroatom into an aromatic ring by displacement of a leaving group with a nucleophile, but this method is limited to electron-deficient arenes. We have now established a reliable method for accessing phenols and phenyl alkyl ethers via catalytic SNAr reactions. The method is applicable to a broad array of electron-rich and neutral aryl fluorides, which are inert under classical SNAr conditions. Although the mechanism of SNAr reactions involving metal arene complexes is hypothesized to involve a stepwise pathway (addition followed by elimination), experimental data that support this hypothesis is still under exploration. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations suggest either a stepwise or stepwise-like energy profile. Notably, we isolated a rhodium η5-cyclohexadienyl complex intermediate with an sp3-hybridized carbon bearing both a nucleophile and a leaving group.

Insight into the chemoselective aromatic: Vs. side-chain hydroxylation of alkylaromatics with H2O2catalyzed by a non-heme imine-based iron complex

The oxidation of a series of alkylaromatic compounds with H2O2 catalyzed by an imine-based non-heme iron complex prepared in situ by reaction of 2-picolylaldehyde, 2-picolylamine, and Fe(OTf)2 in a 2?:?2?:?1 ratio leads to a marked chemoselectivity for aromatic ring hydroxylation over side-chain oxidation. This selectivity is herein investigated in detail. Side-chain/ring oxygenated product ratio was found to increase upon decreasing the bond dissociation energy (BDE) of the benzylic C-H bond in line with expectation. Evidence for competitive reactions leading either to aromatic hydroxylation via electrophilic aromatic substitution or side-chain oxidation via benzylic hydrogen atom abstraction, promoted by a metal-based oxidant, has been provided by kinetic isotope effect analysis.

Palladium-Catalyzed Hydroxylation of Aryl Halides with Boric Acid

Boric acid, B(OH)3, is proved to be an efficient hydroxide reagent in converting (hetero)aryl halides to the corresponding phenols with a Pd catalyst under mild conditions. Various phenol products were obtained in good to excellent yields. This transformation tolerates a broad range of functional groups and molecules, including base-sensitive substituents and complicated pharmaceutical (hetero)aryl halide molecules.

Synthesis of Phenols: Organophotoredox/Nickel Dual Catalytic Hydroxylation of Aryl Halides with Water

A highly effective hydroxylation reaction of aryl halides with water under synergistic organophotoredox and nickel catalysis is reported. The OH group of the resulting phenols originates from water, following deprotonation facilitated by an intramolecular base group on the ligand. Significantly, aryl bromides as well as less reactive aryl chlorides served as effective substrates to afford phenols with a wide range of functional groups. Without the need for a strong inorganic base or an expensive noble-metal catalyst, this process can be applied to the efficient preparation of diverse phenols and enables the hydroxylation of multifunctional pharmaceutically relevant aryl halides.

Synergistic Photo-Copper-Catalyzed Hydroxylation of (Hetero)aryl Halides with Molecular Oxygen

Photoredox-mediated copper-catalyzed hydroxylation of (hetero)aryl halides (including chlorides, bromides, and iodides) with O2 at room temperature has been developed. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate no arylcopper intermediate and that aryl radicals are involved in this procedure. 18O-labeling experiments confirm the hydroxyl oxygen atom originated from molecular oxygen.

Biogenic synthesis of Fe2O3@SiO2 nanoparticles for ipso-hydroxylation of boronic acid in water

Here, biogenic synthesis of Fe2O3@SiO2 nanoparticles using fruit extract of Zanthoxylum rhetsa is reported. The SiO2 nanoparticles was synthesized using paddy straw which is a byproduct obtained in cultivation of rice. The composite was characterised by spectroscopic method like XRD, SEM, TEM and EDX analysis. The ipso-hydroxylation reactions were carried out with excellent yield within a moderate time period with mild reaction condition in all cases. Therefore, this approach may be considered as simple, easy, cheap and greener, environment friendly protocol for ipso-hydroxylation of arylboronic acids at 50 °C temperature.

A novel fluorene based "turn on" fluorescent sensor for the determination of zinc and cadmium: Experimental and theoretical studies along with live cell imaging

A new fluorene-pyridine linked imine conjugate, HAFPA, has been synthesized and characterized. HAFPA has been successfully found to recognize Zn2+ and Cd2+ selectively among a wide range of biologically relevant metal ions. The chemosensing behaviour of the ligand has been demonstrated through 1H NMR, ESI-MS, emission, absorption, colour change, luminescence spectra. The probe HAFPA displays a prominent fluorescence enhancement along with a large red shift (～60 nm and 65 nm), which may be because of the CHEF (chelation-enhanced fluorescence) processes after its interaction with Zn2+ and Cd2+ respectively. The binding of the ligand with Zn2+ and Cd2+ was investigated through ESI-MS, Job's plot and reversibility studies. The fluorescence property of the ligand after complexation with Zn2+ and Cd2+ can be restored in the presence of EDTA and sulphide ions. This reversibility phenomenon is utilized in the construction of a logic gate. The DFT, TDDFT and triplet excited state calculations were performed in order to demonstrate the structure of the ligand and its complexes and their electronic properties. Importantly, our chemosensor could be used to detect intracellular Zn2+ and Cd2+ with no cytotoxicity in A549 cells, and a colorimetric test strip of the ligand for the detection of both the ions could be useful for all practical purposes.

Contrasting behaviour in the photosolvolysis of 1- and 2-hydroxy-9-fluorenols in aqueous solution

The photosolvolysis of 1- and 2-hydroxy-9-fluorenols 4-6 has been studied in aqueous solution. All of these 9-fluorenols photosolvolyze efficiently in 1:1 H2O-CH3OH, to give the corresponding methyl ether products in high chemical and quantum yields. Whereas the photosolvolysis of the parent 9-fluorenol (2, R = H) is known to proceed via the very short-lived and formally ground-state antiaromatic 9-fluorenyl cation (1, R = H), the photosolvolysis of 1-hydroxy-9-fluorenol (4) proceeds via a much longer-lived (≈5-10 s) fluorenyl quinone methide 9, which is trappable by ethyl vinyl ether via a [4+2] cycloaddition reaction to give a chroman derivative. Interestingly, 2-hydroxy-9-fluorenol (5) photosolvolyzes via a very short-lived intermediate with similar lifetimes as observed for the 9-fluorenyl cation (1, R = H), although a corresponding fluorenyl quinone methide intermediate is accessible for this compound. This study demonstrates that the mechanism of photosolvolysis of these types of compounds can be dramatically altered when an aryl hydroxy group is present.
