- Electro-optical Properties of Neutral and Radical Ion Thienosquaraines
-
Thienosquaraines are an interesting class of electroactive dyes that are useful for applications in organic electronics. Herein, the redox chemistry and electrochromic response of a few newly synthesized thienosquaraines are presented. These properties are compared to those of the commercial 2,4-bis[4-(N,N-diisobutylamino)-2,6-dihydroxyphenyl]squaraine. The stability of the radical ions formed in electrochemical processes strongly affects these properties, as shown by cyclic voltammetry, in situ spectroelectrochemistry, and quantum chemical calculations. Furthermore, all of the dyes show aggregation tendency resulting in panchromatic absorption covering the whole UV/Vis spectral range.

- Thienylpiperidine Donor NIR Xanthene-Based Dye for Photoacoustic Imaging
-
Few xanthene-based near-infrared (NIR) photoacoustic (PA) dyes with absorbance >800 nm exist. As accessibility to these dyes requires long and tedious synthetic steps, we designed a NIR dye (XanthCR-880) with thienylpiperidine donors and a xanthene acceptor that is accessible in 3-4 synthetic steps. The dye boasts a strong PA signal at 880 nm with good biological compatibility and photostability, yields multiplexed imaging with an aza-BODIPY reference dye, and is detected at a depth of 4 cm.

- Reaction of Nitrogen-Radicals with Organometallics Under Ni-Catalysis: N-Arylations and Amino-Functionalization Cascades
-
Herein, we report a strategy for the generation of nitrogen-radicals by ground-state single electron transfer with organyl–NiI species. Depending on the philicity of the N-radical, two types of processes have been developed. In the case of nucleophilic aminyl radicals direct N-arylation with aryl organozinc, organoboron, and organosilicon reagents was achieved. In the case of electrophilic amidyl radicals, cascade processes involving intramolecular cyclization, followed by reaction with both aryl and alkyl organometallics have been developed. The N-cyclization–alkylation cascade introduces a novel retrosynthetic disconnection for the assembly of substituted lactams and pyrrolidines with its potential demonstrated in the short total synthesis of four venom alkaloids.

- “On Water” promoted N-arylation reactions using Cu (0)/myo-inositol catalytic system
-
Myo-inositol is originally applied as a cardiovascular medicine in clinic, which can be multi-ton manufactured via extraction from the byproducts in agricultural product processing such as defatted rice bran and corn-soaking water. Herein, the application of myo-inositol (MI) as a novel versatile tridentate O-donor ligand has been first described for promoting Cu-catalyzed amination reaction in aqueous medium.

- Copper(ii)-catalyzed c-n coupling of aryl halides and n-nucleophiles promoted by quebrachitol or diethylene glycol
-
Herein, we report the natural ligand quebrachitol (QCT) as a promoter for a Cu(II) catalyst, which is highly effective for N-Arylation of various amines and related aryl halides. A series of diarylamine derivatives were obtained in high yields by using diethylene glycol (DEG) as both ligand and solvent. The C-N coupling reactions proceed under mild conditions and exhibit good functional group tolerance.

- Methyl-α-d-glucopyranoside as Green Ligand for Selective Copper-Catalyzed N-Arylation
-
In the selective N-arylation of amines or azoles with aryl halidesa-, methyl-α-d-glucopyranoside (MG) was found to function as a green ligand of copper powder. In addition, nitrogen heterocyclic amine compounds can also undergo the N-arylation coupling with heterocyclic aryl chlorides. This process allows access to a variety of aromatic amines and aryl azoles under mild reaction conditions, has good tolerance, and proceeds in moderate to high yield.

- Malonic Acid Derivatives on Duty as Electron-Withdrawing Units in Push–Pull Molecules
-
Based on the 2-(N-piperidinyl)thiophene central donor, 32 model push–pull molecules with systematically varied malonic acid-derived peripheral acceptors have been prepared. Further property tuning has been achieved by modifying the π-linker and the structural arrangement (linear vs. quadrupolar D–π–A systems). Malonic acid derivatives such as cyanoacetic acid, malondinitrile, diethyl malonate, Meldrum′s acid, and N,N′-dibutyl(thio)barbituric acid as well as 1,3-diketo analogues dimedone and indan-1,3-dione were employed as acceptor moieties. Knoevenagel condensation with four thiophene aldehydes afforded the target chromophores in satisfactory yields. The electron-withdrawing abilities of malonic acid acceptors were examined both by experiment including X-ray analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, electrochemistry, and UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, and by DFT calculations. Details of the structure–property relationships have been elucidated. According to the increasing electron-withdrawing ability, the widely used malonic acid acceptor units can be ordered: diethyl malonate ≤ cyanoacetic acid malondinitrile Meldrum's acid dimedone ≤ N,N′-dibutylbarbituric acid indan-1,3-dione ≤ N,N′-dibutylthiobarbituric acid.

- Synthesis and structural characterization of palladium(II) thiosemicarbazone complex: Application to the Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction
-
A simple route to synthesize mononuclear palladium(II) thiosemicarbazone complex has been described. Elemental analysis, spectral methods and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis were used to confirm the composition of the complex. The new complex acts as an active homogeneous catalyst for the Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction of a wide range of aryl and heteroaryl halides (bromides and chlorides), including activating, neutral and deactivating substrates, with various secondary amines under optimized conditions.

- A mild and practical copper catalyzed amination of halothiophenes
-
We have found that N,N-dimethylethanolamine (deanol) is a useful solvent and ligand for copper catalyzed amination of a variety of unactivated and activated 2- or 3-halothiophenes. Primary amines, acyclic secondary amines, cyclic secondary amines and acyclic secondary amines with 2-hydroxyethyl functionality react with halothiophenes in moderate to excellent yields. The mildly basic conditions utilized are compatible with many functional groups. The amination of halobithiophenes has also been examined. The aminothiophenes produced by this method are important intermediates in a variety of electronic and optoelectronic materials.
