Photoinduced Acetylation of Anilines under Aqueous and Catalyst-Free Conditions

A green and efficient visible-light induced functionalization of anilines under mild conditions has been reported. Utilizing nontoxic, cost-effective, and water-soluble diacetyl as photosensitizer and acetylating reagent, and water as the solvent, a variety of anilines were converted into the corresponding aryl ketones, iodides, and bromides. With advantages of environmentally friendly conditions, simple operation, broad substrate scope, and functional group tolerance, this reaction represents a valuable method in organic synthesis.

The method has the advantages of high yield of the product, no metal involvement, and simple process.

Amplification of Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) Reactivity for Chlorination of Arenes and Heteroarenes via Catalytic Organic Dye Activation

Heteroarenes and arenes that contain electron-withdrawing groups are chlorinated in good to excellent yields (scalable to gram scale) using trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and catalytic Brilliant Green (BG). Visible-light activation of BG serves to amplify the electrophilic nature of TCCA, providing a mild alternative approach to acid-promoted chlorination of deactivated (hetero)aromatic substrates. The utility of the TCCA/BG system is demonstrated through comparison to other chlorinating reagents and by the chlorination of pharmaceuticals including caffeine, lidocaine, and phenazone.

Visible-light photocatalytic activation of N-chlorosuccinimide by organic dyes for the chlorination of arenes and heteroarenes

A variety of arenes and heteroarenes are chlorinated in moderate to excellent yields using N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) under visible-light activated conditions. A screening of known organic dye photocatalysts resulted in the identification of methylene green as the most efficient catalyst to use with NCS. According to mechanistic studies described within, the reaction is speculated to proceed via a single electron oxidation of NCS utilizing methylene green under visible-light photoredox pathway. The photo-oxidation of NCS amplifies the electrophilicity of the chlorine atom of the NCS, thus leading to enhanced reactivity as a chlorinating reagent with aromatic substrates.

In situ Generation of Hypervalent Iodine Reagents for the Electrophilic Chlorination of Arenes

Efficient metal-free methods for the electrophilic chlorination of arenes using PIFA and simple chlorine sources are reported. The in situ formation of PhI(Cl)OCOCF3 from PIFA and KCl is proposed, which resulted in a chlorinating species for moderately activated arenes. Moreover, the in situ formation of PhICl2 from PIFA and TMSCl resulted in an excellent approach for the chlorination of a great variety of arenes (20 examples) in high yields, even when working on a multigram scale.

Air-stable μ2-hydroxyl bridged cationic binuclear complexes of zirconocene perfluorooctanesulfonates: their structures, characterization and application

Three air-stable zirconocene perfluoro-octanesulfonates were successfully synthesized by treatment of C8F17SO3Ag with (RCp)2ZrCl2 [R = H, n-Bu, t-Bu]. According to X-ray analysis, they have μ2-hydroxyl bridged cationic binuclear structures: (i) [CpZr(OH2)3]2(μ2-OH)2(OSO2C8F17)4·2THF·4H2O (1a·2THF·4H2O), (ii) [n-BuCpZr(OH2)3]2(μ2-OH)2(OSO2C8F17)4·6H2O (2a·6H2O), and (iii) [t-BuCpZr(OH2)3]2(μ2-OH)2(OSO2C8F17)4·2C3H6O·8H2O (3a·2C3H6O·8H2O). The ligands of water and organic molecules in the complexes originated from the moist air and solvent during their recrystallization. These complexes were characterized with different techniques, and found to show water tolerance, air/thermal stability as well as strong Lewis acidity. Moreover, the complexes showed highly catalytic activity in various reactions of C–C bond formation. With good recyclability, they should find wide applications in organic chemistry.

Room temperature C(sp2)-H oxidative chlorination: Via photoredox catalysis

Photoredox catalysis has been developed to achieve oxidative C-H chlorination of aromatic compounds using NaCl as the chlorine source and Na2S2O8 as the oxidant. The reactions occur at room temperature and exhibit exclusive selectivity for C(sp2)-H bonds over C(sp3)-H bonds. The method has been used for the chlorination of a diverse set of substrates, including the expedited synthesis of key intermediates to bioactive compounds and a drug.

Aggregation-induced emission enhancement in halochalcones

A family of push-pull fluorophores, consisting of a chalcone core decorated with electron-donating substituents and halogen atoms, was designed and synthesized. Luminescence studies were performed in solution, aggregate form and in the solid state. Although some compounds are only weakly fluorescent in solution, all are emissive in the solid state showing aggregation-induced emission enhancement. In the crystalline state, the halogen atoms are not involved in halogen bonds but their presence strongly influences the aggregation-induced emission properties of the fluorophores.

Strong Lewis acid air-stable cationic titanocene perfluoroalkyl(aryl) sulfonate complexes as highly efficient and recyclable catalysts for C-C bond forming reactions

A series of strong Lewis acid air-stable titanocene perfluoroalkyl(aryl) sulfonate complexes Cp2Ti(OH2)2(OSO 2X)2·THF (X = C8F17, 1·THF; X = C4F9, 2·H2O· THF; X = C6F5, 3) were successfully synthesized by the treatment of Cp2TiCl2 with C8F 17SO3Ag, C4F9SO3Ag and C6F5SO3Ag, respectively. In contrast to well-known titanocene bis(triflate), these complexes showed no change in open air over three months. TG-DSC analysis showed that 1·THF, 2·H 2O·THF and 3 were thermally stable at 230 °C, 220°C and 280°C, respectively. Conductivity measurements showed that these complexes underwent ionic dissociation in CH3CN solution. X-ray analysis results confirmed that 2·H2O·THF and 3 were cationic. ESR spectra showed that the Lewis acidity of 1·THF (1.06 eV) was higher than that of Sc3+ (1.00 eV) and Y3+ (0.85 eV). UV/Vis spectra showed a significant red shift due to the strong complex formation between 10-methylacridone and 2·H2O·THF. Fluorescence spectra showed that the Lewis acidity of 2 (λem = 477 nm) was higher than that of Sc3+ (λem = 474 nm). These complexes showed high catalytic ability in various carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. Moreover, they show good reusability. Compared with 1·THF, 2·H2O·THF and 3 exhibit higher solubility and better catalytic activity, and will find broad applications in organic synthesis. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.
