Electrochemical oxidation-induced direct carbonylation of benzyl C–H bond for the synthesis of aromatic α-diketones is described. In this process, tetrabutylammonium iodide (nBu4NI) not only acts as an electrolyte, but its iodine anion is oxidized to an iodine radical at the anode, acting as a hydrogen atom transfer agent. The iodine radical extracts the benzyl hydrogen atom and causes the carbonylation of the benzyl position, where O2 in the air is used as an oxygen source.

A series of amphiphilic PEG-functionalized nitrogen ligands were developed for the highly efficient copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of 9-fluorenes, with molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant in neat water. A broad range of functional groups are well tolerated and thus offer the opportunity for further functionalization.

The synthesis, spectral and structural characterization, and photoisomerization of a family of 2-substituted dibenzofulvene molecular actuators based on (2,2,2-triphenylethylidene)fluorene (TEF) are reported. The 2-substituted species investigated are nitro (NTEF), cyano (CTEF), and iodo (ITEF). X-ray structures of these three compounds and three intermediates were determined to assign alkene configuration and investigate the effects of the 2-substituents on steric gearing. The addition–elimination reaction of Z-9 with trityl anion to form Z-10 proceeded with complete retention of configuration. Rates of photoisomerization were measured at irradiation wavelengths between 266–355 nm in acetonitrile/dioxane solutions at room temperature. Photoisomerization quantum yields (φ) were calculated by means of a mathematical model that accounts for a certain degree of photodecomposition in the cases of CTEF and ITEF. Quantum yields vary significantly with substituent, having maximum values of φ=0.26 for NTEF, 0.39 for CTEF, and 0.50 for ITEF. NTEF is photochemically robust and has a large quantum yield for photoisomerization in the near-UV, making it a particularly promising drive rotor moiety for light-powered molecular devices.
