We report a modular approach toward novel arylazotriazole photoswitches and their photophysical characterization. Addition of lithiated TIPS-acetylene to aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborate salts gives a wide range of azoacetylenes, constituting an underexplored class of stable intermediates.In situdesilylation transiently leads to terminal arylazoacetylenes that undergo copper-catalyzed cycloadditions (CuAAC) with a diverse collection of organoazides. These include complex molecules derived from natural products or drugs, such as colchicine, taxol, tamiflu, and arachidonic acid. The arylazotriazoles display near-quantitative photoisomerization and long thermalZ-half-lives. Using the method, we introduce for the first time the design and synthesis of a diacetylene platform. It permits implementation of consecutive and diversity-oriented approaches linking two different conjugants to independently addressable acetylenes within a common photoswitchable azotriazole. This is showcased in the synthesis of several photoswitchable conjugates, with potential applications as photoPROTACs and biotin conjugates.
Alternative method for the synthesis of triazenes from aryl diazonium salts

An alternative mild method for access to 1-aryl-3,3-dimethyl alkyl triazenes is described. This protocol employs the dropwise addition of a methanolic solution of a carboxylate (RCO2M) or carbonate (CO32?) to a gently heated DMF solution containing an aryl diazonium salt (ArN2+), that had been previously isolated. Presumably homolysis of the weak N–O bond of diazo ether adducts formed in this operation initiates radical pathways that lead to the generation of triazene product. DMF serves as not only a one-electron donor to the diazonium salts employed in this process, but also as a source of dimethylamine radicals that act as a nucleophilic coupling partner. The reaction provides modest yields (ca. 20–40%) across an array of aryl diazonium salts that contain various substitution. Furthermore this unique approach to triazenes contrasts with traditional methods that employ dimethyl amine in reagent form which directly couples with diazonium salts. Seemingly, only one other example employing somewhat similar reaction conditions to this current investigation en route to triazenes has been reported, albeit with lower yields and for one representative example furnished as a side-product. The current work here improves upon the efficiency of this reported result, and further expands the reaction scope.

A highly regioselective, carbazole based Electron Donor Acceptor (EDA) catalyzed synthesis of biaryl and aryl-heteroaryl compounds is described. Various indole and carbazole derivatives were screened for the Homolytic Aromatic Substitution (HAS) reaction. Tetrahydrocarbazole (THC) was very efficient for the HAS transformation and proceeded via a complex formation between diazonium salt and electron rich tetrahydrocarbazole. The UV-Vis spectroscopy technique has been used to confirm the complex formation. The in situ generated EDA complex even in a catalytic amount is found to be efficient for the Single Electron Transfer (SET) process without any photoactivation. Biaryl compounds, 2-phenylfuran, 2-phenylthiophene, and 2-phenylpyrrole and bioactive compounds such as dantrolene and canagliflozin have been synthesized in moderate to excellent yields.
