Starting from benzaldehyde derivatives, the corresponding dibenzocycloheptenol could be prepared in five steps. Under both substrate (secondary vs tertiary alcohol and the substituents on the aromatic ring(s)) and condition control, the subsequent epoxidation and acid-catalyzed epoxide opening/semipinacol rearrangement/aromatization afforded the corresponding 9-anthraldehydes in good yields, up to 88% over two steps. The presence of the electron-withdrawing group(s) on the aromatic ring(s) suppressed the rate of the epoxidation while the subsequent semipinacol rearrangement step required heating; the presence of the electron-donating group(s), on the other hand, frequently led to the decomposition during the epoxidation. From the mechanistic studies, the semipinacol rearrangement of the epoxide could precede the ionization at the bisbenzylic position, yielding the aldehyde intermediate. The ensuing dehydrative aromatization led to the formation of 9-anthraldehyde. Conversely, nucleophilic addition to the aldehyde and dehydrative aromatization with concomitant loss of formic acid led to anthracene.

A nickel-catalyzed reductive decyanation of aromatic nitriles has been developed, in which the readily available and abundant ethanol was applied as the hydride donor. Various functional groups on the aromatic rings, such as alkoxyl, amino, imino and amide, were compatible in this catalytic protocol. Heteroaryl, benzylic and alkenyl nitriles were also tolerated. Mechanistic investigation indicated that ethanol provided hydride efficientlyviaβ-hydride elimination in this reductive decyanation.
Unraveling relation between nonlinear absorption and structure of push pull ornamented anthracenyl chalcone derivatives

Using green chemical method a series of fifteen systematically substituted 3-(9-substituted anthracen-10-yl)-1-(4-phenyl substituted)prop-2-en-1-one derivatives having high nonlinear absorption coefficient have been synthesized. The nonlinear absorption properties of these compounds were studied using nanosecond pulses at 532 nm wavelength. All 15 derivatives are found to show high nonlinear absorption in the range of 35–640 cm/GW. Among these the derivatives with –NO2 as one of the substitution group show higher nonlinear absorption. The origin of high nonlinear absorption with low linear absorption in the compounds has been attributed to two-step two-photon absorption process. We have shown that the energy bands of these compounds are distributed such that for excitation at 532 nm they have strong nonlinear absorption. These properties of the reported compounds make them a potential candidate for biological imaging and other applications which are based on nonlinear absorption.
Ni-Catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl thioethers with alkyl Grignard reagents via C-S bond cleavage

supporting information, p. 9313 - 9316 (2018/08/29)
A Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl thioethers with alkyl Grignard reagents, accompanied by the cleavage of the C(aryl)-SMe bond, has been presented. This method is distinguished by its mild conditions and moderate functional group tolerance, such as hydroxyl, halogen, and heterocycles, which should provide a straightforward access to the modification of sulfur-containing molecules.

A Ni-catalyzed hydrogenation of C-O compounds with sodium formate is developed. Various esters, i.e. aryl, alkenyl, benzyl pivalates, and even the aryl ethers, were efficiently reduced with a loading of nickel catalysts down to 0.5 mol%. Reactive functional groups such as C-C double bonds, carbonyl, CN, MeS and halogen groups are tolerable. This reaction can be used for the modification of complex molecules and carried out at a large scale.

The discovery of an ultrafast cross-coupling of alkyl- and aryllithium reagents with a range of aryl bromides is presented. The essential role of molecular oxygen to form the active palladium catalyst was established; palladium nanoparticles that are highly active in cross-coupling reactions with reaction times ranging from 5 s to 5 min are thus generated in situ. High selectivities were observed for a range of heterocycles and functional groups as well as for an expanded scope of organolithium reagents. The applicability of this method was showcased by the synthesis of the [11C]-labeled PET tracer celecoxib.

The reductive cleavage of the C-O bonds of aryl ethers has great potential in organic synthesis. Although several catalysts that can promote the reductive cleavage of aryl ethers have been reported, all such systems require the use of an external reductant, e.g., hydrosilane or hydrogen. Here, we report the development of a new nickel-based catalytic system that can cleave the C-O bonds of ethers in the absence of an external reductant. The hydrogen atom required in this new reductive cleavage reaction is provided by the alkoxy group of the substrate, which serves as an internal reductant. The absence of an external reductant enables the unique chemoselectivity, i.e., the selective reduction of an alkoxy group over alkenes and ketones. This journal is

9-R-Anthracenes (R = Me, Ph) are effective acceptors of peroxyl and metalalkoxyl radicals in the systems tert-butylhydroperoxide-metal tert-butoxide (M = Al, V, Cr; C6H6, 20°C). Isolation of 9-R-9,10-dihydro-9,10-di-tert-butylperoxyanthracenes, 10-R-10-tert-butylperoxy-9-anthrones as major products reliably confirms the formation of tert-butylperoxy radicals and can be used for quantitative assessment of their content.

In this study, anthracenes were efficiently synthesized from o-alkynyldiarylmethane using a novel method that exploits the synergistic effect between Bi(OTf)3 as the catalyst, and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Through this reaction, we achieved the rapid and efficient synthesis of anthracenes bearing various functional groups under mild conditions.
