The electrochemical reduction of methylfluorobenzoates at glassy carbon electrodes is analyzed using the convolution potential sweep voltammetry (CPSV). The stabilization of the radical anion due to the electron-withdrawing group is shown to lead to intra-molecular stepwise dissociative electron transfer. While methyl 2-fluorobenzoate (ortho isomer) follows EC mechanism, the methyl 4-fluorobenzoate (para-isomer) undergoes electro-dimerization prior to C-F bond cleavage. The first order rate constant for the EC mechanism and the dimerization rate constant for the electro-dimerization are deduced from the classical as well as convolution potential sweep voltammetry. A plausible mechanism of dimerization is suggested. The influence of the electron-withdrawing groups is illustrated by comparing the reduction behaviour of 4-fluorobenzonitrile. The potential energy surfaces and electron density mapping employing Gaussian 03 calculations provide further support for the validation of the mechanism pertaining to C-F bond cleavages.

Symmetrical and unsymmetrical biaryls comprises a diverse class of biologically eloquent organic compounds. We herein report, a quick and eco-friendly protocol for the synthesis of biaryls by an oxidative (aerobic) homocoupling of arylboronic acids (ABAs) using Pd(OAc)2 in water extract of pomogranate ash (WEPA) as an efficient agro-waste(bio)-derived aqueous (basic) media. The reactions were executed at ambient aerobic conditions in the absence of external base and ligand to result symmetrical biaryls in excellent yields. The use of renewable media with an effective exploitation of waste, short reaction times, excellent yields of products, easy separation of the products, unnecessating the external base, oxidant, ligand or volatile organic solvents and ambient reaction conditions are the vital insights of the present protocol.

Typically, Suzuki couplings used in polymerizations are performed at raised temperatures in inert atmospheres. As a result, the synthesis of aromatic materials that utilize this chemistry often demands expensive and specialized equipment on an industrial scale. Herein, we describe a bimetallic methodology that exploits the distinct reactivities of palladium and copper to perform high yielding aryl-aryl dimerizations and polymerizations that can be performed on a benchtop under ambient conditions. These couplings are facile and can be performed by simple mixing in the open vessel. To demonstrate the utility of this method in the context of polymer synthesis: polyfluorene, polycarbazole, polysilafluorene, and poly(6,12-dihydro-dithienoindacenodithiophene) were created at ambient temperature and open to air.
Cobalt-Catalyzed Highly Regioselective Three-Component Arylcarboxylation of Acrylate with Aryl Bromides and Carbon Dioxide

Cobalt-catalyzed regioselective three-component arylcarboxylation of acrylate with aryl bromides and carbon dioxide has been developed. The reaction is carried out by using cobalt chloride as a precatalyst and zinc powder as a reducing reagent under CO2 (1 atm) at 40 °C. A range of aryl bromides are used for this reaction, leading to a series of valuable carboxylic acids with high regioselectivity and functional-group compatibility. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations indicate that this arylcarboxylation reaction involves the reaction of CO2 with a cobalt enolate intermediate to form the C?C bond.
