With the aim of generating new, thermally inaccessible diradicals, potentially able to induce a double-strand DNA cleavage, the photochemistry of a set of chloroaryl-substituted carboxylic acids in polar media was investigated. The photoheterolytic cleavage of the Ar?Cl bond occurred in each case to form the corresponding triplet phenyl cations. Under basic conditions, the photorelease of the chloride anion was accompanied by an intramolecular electron-transfer from the carboxylate group to the aromatic radical cationic site to give a diradical species. This latter intermediate could then undergo CO2 loss in a structure-dependent fashion, according to the stability of the resulting diradical, or abstract a hydrogen atom from the medium. In aqueous environment at physiological pH (pH=7.3), both a phenyl cation and a diradical chemistry was observed. The mechanistic scenario and the role of the various intermediates (aryl cations and diradicals) involved in the process was supported by computational analysis.

As alcohols are ubiquitous throughout chemical science, this functional group represents a highly attractive starting material for forging new C-C bonds. Here, we demonstrate that the combination of anodic preparation of the alkoxy triphenylphosphonium ion and nickel-catalyzed cathodic reductive cross-coupling provides an efficient method to construct C(sp2)-C(sp3) bonds, in which free alcohols and aryl bromides - both readily available chemicals - can be directly used as coupling partners. This nickel-catalyzed paired electrolysis reaction features a broad substrate scope bearing a wide gamut of functionalities, which was illustrated by the late-stage arylation of several structurally complex natural products and pharmaceuticals.

While several catalyst systems have been utilized in the hydroesterification or methoxycarbonylation of alkenes or equivalent substrates, these reactions are conventionally performed in autoclave reactor systems under high CO pressure (20-70 bar) and thermal heating (70 - 110 oC). In this paper, the first methoxycarbonylation reactions performed in a microwave reactor fitted with a gas-Addition accessory system are reported on and compared to the same reactions performed under conventional heating in an autoclave reactor. Thus 1-octene, styrene, allylbenzene, o-and p-methoxyallylbenzene and β-methylstyrene were subjected to methoxycarbonylation over a palladium acetate-aluminum triflate catalyst system at 12 bar and 95 oC. Results obtained indicated the methoxycarbonylation of these alkenes to be much faster under microwave conditions when compared to conventional heating and improvements in conversion ranged between 3 and 5% for the more reactive substrates (1-octene and styrene) and 6 - 20% for the allylbenzenes and β-methylstyrene.
