Energy transfer plays a special role in photocatalysis by utilizing the potential energy of the excited state through indirect excitation, in which a photosensitizer determines the thermodynamic feasibility of the reaction. Bioinspired by the energy-transfer ability of natural product cercosporin, here we developed a green and highly efficient organic photosensitizer HiBRCP (hexaisobutyryl reduced cercosporin) through structural modification of cercosporin. After structural manipulation, its triplet energy was greatly improved, and then, it could markedly promote the efficient geometrical isomerization of alkenes from the E-isomer to the Z-isomer. Moreover, it was also effective for energy-transfer-mediated organometallic catalysis, which allowed realization of the cross-coupling of aryl bromides and carboxylic acids through efficient energy transfer from HiBRCP to nickel complexes. Thus, the study on the relationship between structural manipulation and their photophysical properties provided guidance for further modification of cercosporin, which could be applied to more meaningful and challenging energy-transfer reactions.

Four Ru(II)-NC complexes were tested as catalysts for semihydrogenation of internal alkynes to (E)-alkenes with ethanol, and the complex {(C5H4N)(C6H4)}RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2 (1a) showed the highest activity. The reactions proceeded well with 1 mol % catalyst loading and 0.1 equiv of t-BuONa at 110 °C for 1 h, and 32 alkenes were synthesized with excellent E:Z selectivity. This is the first ruthenium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of internal alkynes to (E)-alkenes using ethanol as the hydrogen donor.

The selenenate anion (RSeO?) is introduced as an active organocatalyst for the dehydrohalogen coupling of benzyl halides to form trans-stilbenes. It is shown that RSeO? is a more reactive catalyst than the previously reported sulfur analogues (sulfenate anion, RSO?) and selenolate anions (RSe?) in the aforementioned reaction. This catalytic system was also applied to the benzylic-chloromethyl-coupling polymerization (BCCP) of a bis-chloromethyl arene to form ppv (poly(p-phenylene vinylene))-type polymers with high yields, Mn (average molecular weight) up to 13,000 and ? (dispersity) of 1.15. (Figure presented.).
Diarylethene synthesis method without transition metal catalysis
-
Paragraph 0046-0050, (2019/02/06)
The invention discloses a diarylethene synthesis method without transition metal catalysis. The method comprises the following steps: a cinnamic acid derivative and aryl trifluoroborate are subjectedto a decarboxylation coupling reaction in a solvent under the action of an oxidizing agent, postprocessing is performed after the reaction, and diarylethene is obtained. K2S2O8 is adopted to promote acatalytic system in the synthetic method, and a free radical coupling reaction can be performed directly under the condition that no ligand, transition metal or alkali is added. The method has widersubstrate range and higher yield; the method is simple to operate, reaction conditions are mild, and large-scale application is facilitated.

Paragraph 0046-0048, (2019/06/11)
The invention discloses a preparation method of palladium catalyzed 1,2-trans diaryl alkene. The method comprises the following steps that under the effects of catalysts, cocatalysts and alkali, arylacrylic acid and aromatic esters p-toluene sulfonate take decarboxylation coupling reaction in an organic solvent; after the reaction is finished, the 1,2-trans diaryl alkene is obtained through posttreatment. The method has the advantages that through C-O bond fracture, the operation is simple; a stable palladium catalyst with low cost is used; the substrate applicability is high; the harsh reaction conditions and the addition of strong alkali are not needed; the trans 1,2-diaryl alkene can be generated at high selectivity.

We report the preparation of symmetrical stilbene derivatives in a two-step one-pot cascade reaction based on enzymatic decarboxylation of cinnamic acid followed by olefin cross metathesis. Embedment of the metathesis catalyst in a protein scaffold enabled the cascade reaction to symmetric stilbenes and furthermore very efficient removal of metal impurities (1 ppm in product fraction).

, (2019/04/27)
We report a general method for selective cross-coupling of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with aryl tosylates enabled by versatile Pd(II) complexes. This method features the general cross-coupling of ubiquitous α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids by decarboxylation. The transformation is characterized by its operational simplicity, the use of inexpensive, air-stable Pd(II) catalysts, scalability and wide substrate scope. The reaction proceeds with high trans selectivity to furnish valuable (E)-1,2-diarylethenes.

We have developed unprecedented methods for the direct transformation of primary alcohols to alkenes in the presence of hydrazine, and for the synthesis of mixed alkenes by the reaction of alcohols with hydrazones. The reactions are catalyzed by a manganese pincer complex and proceed in absence of added base or hydrogen acceptors, liberating dihydrogen, dinitrogen, and water as the only byproducts. The proposed mechanism, based on preparation of proposed intermediates and control experiments, suggests that the transformation occurs through metal–ligand cooperative N?H activation of a hydrazone intermediate.
