A series of compounds of with high birefringence containing alkoxy–phenylacetylene–isothiocyanato structure were synthesized and characterized. The chemical structures of these compounds were confirmed by FT-IR and 1H-NMR, and transition temperatures and birefringence were measured. One of these compounds with good liquid crystal property and high birefringence was mixed with host liquid crystal to form blend liquid crystal. The effects of the concentration of the compound on phase temperature range, birefringence, resistivity, dielectric anisotropy and photoelectric properties were discussed. The results showed that blend liquid crystal (with 7 wt% compound) exhibited excellent comprehensive performance.

The electrochemical generation of vinyl carbocations from alkenyl boronic esters and boronates is reported. Using easy-to-handle nucleophilic fluoride reagents, these intermediates are trapped to form fully substituted vinyl fluorides. Mechanistic studies support the formation of dicoordinated carbocations through sequential single-electron oxidation events. Notably, this electrochemical fluorination features fast reaction times and Lewis acid-free conditions. This transformation provides a complementary method to access vinyl fluorides with simple fluoride salts such as TBAF.

The natural product albicidin is a highly potent inhibitor of bacterial DNA gyrase. Its outstanding activity, particularly against Gram-negative pathogens, qualifies it as a promising lead structure in the search for new antibacterial drugs. However, as we show here, the N-terminal cinnamoyl moiety of albicidin is susceptible to photochemical E/Z isomerization. Moreover, the newly formed Z isomer exhibits significantly reduced antibacterial activity, which hampers the development and biological evaluation of albicidin and potent derivatives thereof. Hence, we synthesized 13 different variants of albicidin in which the vulnerable para-coumaric acid moiety was replaced; this yielded photostable analogues. Biological activity assays revealed that diaryl alkyne analogues exhibited virtually undiminished antibacterial efficacy. This promising scaffold will therefore serve as a blueprint for the design of a potent albicidin-based drug.

A novel fluoroalkyl iodide was synthesized on multigram scale from refrigerant gas HFO-1234yf as cheap industrial starting material in a simple, solvent-free, and easily scalable process. We demonstrated its applicability in a metal-free photocatalytic ATRA reaction to synthesize valuable fluoroalkylated vinyl iodides and proved the straightforward transformability of the products in cross-coupling chemistry to obtain conjugated systems.

An easy synthetic method was developed under dry reaction conditions for the preparation of terminal alkynes from 1,1-dibromoalkenes and in the presence of succinimide which acts as a nucleophile and proton donor. It was demonstrated with the synthesis of a broad spectrum of terminal alkynes and extended to synthesize internal alkynes under tandem reaction conditions.

A novel approach to terminal acetylenes based on catalytic olefination reaction COR of arylaldehydes to form dichloroalkenes followed by treatment with nBuLi was elaborated. This method is atom economical and displays high yields and effectivity. The corresponding alkynes can be prepared in up to 97 % yield. One pot procedure towards CF3-ynones was elaborated to provide these products in up to 87 % yield starting from dichloroalkenes.

The photochromic norbornadiene/quadricyclane (NBD/QC) couple has found interest as a molecular solar thermal energy (MOST) system for storage of solar energy. To increase the energy difference between the two isomers, we present here the synthesis of a selection of benzo-fused NBD derivatives that contain an aromatic unit, benzene, naphthalene or phenanthrene, fused to one of the NBD double bonds, while the carbon atoms of the other double bond are functionalized with donor and acceptor groups. The synthesis protocols involve functionalization of benzo-fused NBDs with bromo/chloro substituents followed by a subjection of these intermediates to a cyanation reaction (introducing a cyano acceptor group) followed by a Sonogashira coupling (introducing an arylethynyl donor group, -C≡CC6H4NMe2 or -C≡CC6H4OMe). While the derivatives have good absorption properties in the visible region (redshifted relative to parent system) in the context of MOST applications, they lack the ability to undergo NBD-to-QC photoisomerization, even in the presence of a photosensitizer. It seems that loss of aromaticity of the fused aromatics is too significant to allow photoisomerization to occur. The concept of destroying aromaticity of a neighboring moiety as a way to enhance the energy density of the NBD/QC couple thus needs further structural modifications, in the quest for optimum MOST systems.

A new palladium-catalyzed domino alkyne insertion/C-H activation/decarboxylation sequence has been developed, which provides an efficient approach for synthesizing a variety of functionalized phenanthrenes in moderate to good yields. The method shows broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance by employing readily available materials, including aryl iodides, internal alkynes, and o-bromobenzoic acids, as three-component coupling partners.
