Development of highly efficient Friedel-Crafts alkylations with alcohols using heterogeneous catalysts under continuous-flow conditions

The development of Friedel-Crafts alkylations with alcohols under continuous-flow conditions using heterogeneous catalysts is reported. The reactivities and durabilities of the examined catalysts were systematically investigated, which showed that montmorillonite clay is the best catalyst for these reactions. A high turnover frequency of 9.0 × 102h?1was recorded under continuous-flow conditions, and the continuous operation was successfully maintained over one week.

Photochemical benzylic radical arylation promoted by supported Pd nanostructures

We report a novel way to promote photochemical benzylic radical arylations using Pd nanostructures. Traditional benzylic radical reaction pathways are challenged by the presence of metal centres that provoke unprecedented regioselectivity towards more synthetically relevant C(sp3)-C(sp2) couplings. This new C-H activation pathway is rationalised by means of a pseudo-persistent radical effect facilitated by metal centres. We show the mechanistic and computational aspects of the heterogeneous photocatalytic processes that are the root of this drastic change in reactivity. This journal is

Fe-catalyzed double cross-dehydrogenative coupling of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and arylmethanes

Fe-catalyzed tandem cross-dehydrogenative coupling of the methyl group in arylmethanes with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds has been developed. The reaction affords one new C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond and one new C(sp3)-C(sp3)
