Due to the directional nature of sp3-hybridized orbitals and the absence of π-orbitals, the oxidative cleavage of the kinetically and thermodynamically stable C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond is extremely difficult and remains scarcely explored. In this work, under the double argument of quantum mechanics (QM) computations and meticulous experiments on our well-designed C-C single bond cleavage mechanism, we discovered a means of photoinduced selective oxidative C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond cleavage in arylamines, easily achieved by simple visible light irradiation using O2as a benign oxidant under very mild conditions. The utility of our methodology was demonstrated by the C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond cleavage in morpholine/piperazine arylamines with excellent functional group tolerance. Importantly, our methodology is noteworthy, not only in that it does not require any catalysts, but also in that it provides valuable possibilities for the scalable functionalization of clinical drugs and natural products.

For the first time, new catalysts for olefin polymerization have been discovered through the application of fully integrated high-throughput primary and secondary screening techniques supported by rapid polymer characterization methods. Microscale 1-octene primary screening polymerization experiments combining arrays of ligands with reactive metal complexes M(CH2Ph)4 (M = Zr, Hf) and multiple activation conditions represent a new high-throughput technique for discovering novel group (IV) polymerization catalysts. The primary screening methods described here have been validated using a commercially relevant polyolefin catalyst, and implemented rapidly to discover the new amide-ether based hafnium catalyst [η2- (N,O)-(2-MeO-C6H4) (2,4,6-Me3C6H2)N]Hf (CH2Ph)3 (1), which is capable of polymerizing 1-octene to high conversion. The molecular structure of 1 has been determined by X-ray diffraction. Larger scale secondary screening experiments performed on a focused 96-member amine-ether library demonstrated the versatile high temperature ethylene-1-octene copolymerization capabilities of this catalyst class, and led to significant performance improvements over the initial primary screening discovery. Conventional one gallon batch reactor copolymerizations performed using selected amide-ether hafnium compounds confirmed the performance features of this new catalyst class, serving to fully validate the experimental results from the high-throughput approaches described herein.
