Halogenation through Deoxygenation of Alcohols and Aldehydes

An efficient reagent system, Ph3P/XCH2CH2X (X = Cl, Br, or I), was very effective for the deoxygenative halogenation (including fluorination) of alcohols (including tertiary alcohols) and aldehydes. The easily available 1,2-dihaloethanes were used as key reagents and halogen sources. The use of (EtO)3P instead of Ph3P could also realize deoxy-halogenation, allowing for a convenient purification process, as the byproduct (EtO)3Pa?O could be removed by aqueous washing. The mild reaction conditions, wide substrate scope, and wide availability of 1,2-dihaloethanes make this protocol attractive for the synthesis of halogenated compounds.

Thiol-activated gem-dithiols: A new class of controllable hydrogen sulfide donors

A class of novel thiol-activated H2S donors has been developed on the basis of the gem-dithiol template. These donors release H2S in the presence of cysteine or GSH in aqueous solutions as well as in cellular environments.

Visible-light-promoted Wohl-Ziegler functionalization of organic molecules with N-bromosuccinimide under solvent-free reaction conditions

The visible-light-induced transformation of toluenes with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) under solvent-free reaction conditions (SFRC) was studied. The reaction took place in spite of the very restricted molecular motion; toluenes could be regioselectively converted to benzyl bromides. Selective radical-chain reactions with NBS were carried out in liquid/liquid and in solid/solid systems; furthermore, reactions could be performed in the presence of air. The radical scavenger TEMPO (=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1- yloxy) completely suppressed the side-chain bromination of toluenes with NBS under SFRC. Electron-withdrawing groups decreased the reactivity of the toluenes, and the Hammett reaction constant ρ+ = -1.7 indicated involvement of polar radical intermediates with electrophilic character.
