- Synthesis and stereochemical studies of di and tetra 9,9′- spirobifluorene porphyrins: New building blocks for catalytic material
-
We report the synthesis and stereochemical properties of a new class of molecules containing a covalently-linked porphyrin and spiro-9,9′- bifluorene derivatives. The large spiro substituents hinder rotation about the meso position to give atropisomers which can be detected by 1H NMR after phosphine or isocyanide complexation to the ruthenium spiroporphyrins.

- Pt(II) metal complexes tailored with a newly designed spiro-arranged tetradentate ligand; Harnessing of charge-transfer phosphorescence and fabrication of sky blue and white OLEDs
-
Tetradentate bis(pyridyl azolate) chelates are assembled by connecting two bidentate 3-trifluoromethyl-5-(2-pyridyl)azoles at the six position of pyridyl fragment with the tailored spiro-arranged fluorene and/or acridine functionalities. These new chelates were then utilized in synthesizing a series of Pt(II) metal complexes [Pt(Ln)], n = 1-5, from respective chelates L1-L5 and [PtCl2(DMSO)2] in 1,2-dimethoxyethane. The single-crystal X-ray structural analyses were executed on 1, 3, and 5 to reveal the generalized structures and packing arrangement in crystal lattices. Their photophysical properties were measured in both solution and solid state and are discussed in the context of computational analysis. These L1-L5 coordinated Pt(II) species exhibit intense emission, among which complex 5 shows remarkable solvatochromic phosphorescence due to the dominant intraligand charge transfer transition induced by the new bis(pyridyl azolate) chelates. Moreover, because of the higher-lying highest occupied molecular orbital of acridine, complex 5 can be considered as a novel bipolar phosphor. Successful fabrication of blue and white organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using Pt(II) complexes 3 and 5 as the phosphorescent dopants are reported. In particular, blue OLEDs with 5 demonstrated peak efficiencies of 15.3% (36.3 cd/A, 38.0 lm/W), and CIE values of (0.190, 0.342) in a double-emitting layer structure. Furthermore, a red-emitting Os(II) complex and 5 were used to fabricate warm-white OLEDs to achieve peak external quantum efficiency, luminance efficiency, and power efficiency values as high as 12.7%, 22.5 cd/A, and 22.1 lm/W, respectively.

- Synthesis of 4-alkylidene-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines via palladium-catalyzed carbopalladation/C-H activation of 2-bromobenzyl-N-propargylamines
-
Abstract Tetrasubstituted alkene-based 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines are synthesized via the formation of a cyclic carbopalladation complex followed by C-H bond activation of the sp2 carbon in arenes. This domino reaction proceeds with good selectivity and provides good yields of the products. The requisite starting materials are synthesized by copper(I) iodide catalyzed A3-coupling reactions.

- Pd-Catalyzed C(sp3)-H Biarylation via Transient Directing Group Strategy
-
Here, we describe a highly selective Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)-H biarylation of 2-methylbenzaldehydes using cyclic diaryliodonium salts as arylation reagents. The key strategy is the employment of tert-leucine as a bidentate transient directing group for the proximity-driven metalation to achieve reactivity and selectivity in C-H activation. Various functionalized biaryls bearing both aldehyde and iodine functional groups were prepared successfully, which could be further transformed into a wide range of compounds with potential applications in pharmaceutical chemistry and materials science.

- N-Heterocyclic Iod(az)olium Salts – Potent Halogen-Bond Donors in Organocatalysis
-
This article describes the application of N-heterocyclic iod(az)olium salts (NHISs) as highly reactive organocatalysts. A variety of mono- and dicationic NHISs are described and utilized as potent XB-donors in halogen-bond catalysis. They were benchmarked in seven diverse test reactions in which the activation of carbon- and metal-chloride bonds as well as carbonyl and nitro groups was achieved. N-methylated dicationic NHISs rendered the highest reactivity in all investigated catalytic applications with reactivities even higher than all previously described monodentate XB-donors based on iodine(I) and (III) and the strong Lewis acid BF3.

- Iodine-Catalyzed Methylthiolative Annulation of 2-Alkynyl Biaryls with DMSO: A Metal-Free Approach to 9-Sulfenylphenanthrenes
-
An iodine-catalyzed sustainable, cost-effective, and atom-economic synthetic methodology is developed to synthesize a wide variety of valuable sulfenylphenanthrenes and polycyclic heteroaromatics in moderate to high yield through electrophilic thiolative annulation of 2-alkynyl biaryls (6-endo-dig cyclization) using methyl sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as the sulfur source under transition-metal-free conditions. The transformation requires only iodine in a catalytic amount and trifluoroacetic anhydride. Notably, DMSO played multiple roles such as methylthiolating reagent, oxidant, and solvent in this reaction.

The construction of a seven-membered ring in the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon skeleton remains a notoriously difficult but attractive challenge. Herein a novel palladium-catalyzed [4 + 3] decarboxylative annulation of 2-iodobiphenyls with 2-(2-halophenyl)acrylic acids is reported, which provides an efficient approach for assembling various tribenzo[7]annulenes via a C-H activation and decarboxylation process. Moreover, tribenzo[7]annulenes can be also synthesized via a [2 + 2 + 3] decarboxylative annulation strategy by employing readily available 1,2-halobenzenes, phenylboronic acids, and 2-(2-halophenyl)acrylic acids.

- Scalable electrochemical synthesis of diaryliodonium salts
-
Cyclic and acyclic diaryliodonium are synthesised by anodic oxidation of iodobiaryls and iodoarene/arene mixtures, respectively, in a simple undivided electrolysis cell in MeCN-HFIP-TfOH without any added electrolyte salts. This atom efficient process does not require chemical oxidants and generates no chemical waste. More than 30 cyclic and acyclic diaryliodonium salts with different substitution patterns were prepared in very good to excellent yields. The reaction was scaled-up to 10 mmol scale giving more than four grams of dibenzo[b,d]iodol-5-ium trifluoromethanesulfonate (>95%) in less than three hours. The solvent mixture of the large-scale experiment was recovered (>97%) and recycled several times without significant reduction in yield.

A highly atom-economical and green synthetic method is developed for the oxidative thiolative annulation of 2-alkynyl biaryls with disulfides to synthesize a wide variety of 9-sulfenylphenanthrenes and polycyclic heteroaromatics in water. The transformation requires only a couple of inexpensive reagents, i.e., iodine as a catalyst and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a green oxidant, to furnish the desired products in good to excellent yield. The notable advantages of this protocol over the previously developed synthetic methods are a metal-free, cost-effective, and highly atom economic (>90%) protocol, use of inexpensive reagents as the catalyst and green oxidant, use of water as the reaction medium, very high (>95%) carbon efficiency (water as the major waste), broad substrate scope, high functional group tolerance, high yields of products up to 95%, straight-forward scale-up process upto 10 g scale and significantly, low E-factor (2.25) and high EcoScale score (67).

- Generation of Organozinc Reagents by Nickel Diazadiene Complex Catalyzed Zinc Insertion into Aryl Sulfonates
-
The generation of arylzinc reagents (ArZnX) by direct insertion of zinc into the C?X bond of ArX electrophiles has typically been restricted to iodides and bromides. The insertions of zinc dust into the C?O bonds of various aryl sulfonates (tosylates, mesylates, triflates, sulfamates), or into the C?X bonds of other moderate electrophiles (X=Cl, SMe) are catalyzed by a simple NiCl2–1,4-diazadiene catalyst system, in which 1,4-diazadiene (DAD) stands for diacetyl diimines, phenanthroline, bipyridine and related ligands. Catalytic zincation in DMF or NMP solution at room temperature now provides arylzinc sulfonates, which undergo typical catalytic cross-coupling or electrophilic substitution reactions.

- Organocatalyst in Direct C(sp2)-H Arylation of Unactivated Arenes: [1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-piperazine]-Catalyzed Inter-/Intra-molecular C-H Bond Activation
-
This article describes the identification of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazine as a new, cost-effective, highly efficient organocatalyst, which promotes both inter- A nd intra-molecular direct C(sp2)-H arylations of unactivated arenes in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide. While the inter-molecular C-H arylation of unactivated benzenes with aryl halides (Ar-X; X = I, Br, Cl) toward biaryl syntheses underwent smoothly in the presence of only 10 mol percent organocatalyst, the intra-molecular C-H arylation catalytic system composed of 40 mol percent each of the catalyst and the additive (4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP)). The novel catalyst was also able to perform both inter- A nd intra-molecular direct arylations simultaneously in a single pot. The mechanistic studies confirmed the involvement of aryl radical anions and proceeded via a single-electron-transfer (SET) mechanism. The large substrate scope, high functional group tolerance, competition experiments, gram-scale synthesis, and kinetic studies further highlight the importance and versatile nature of the methodology as well as the compatibility of the new catalyst. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on any organocatalyst that reported detailed investigations of both inter- A nd intra-molecular direct C(sp2)-H arylations of unactivated arenes in a single representation.

- Insertion of [1.1.1]propellane into aromatic disulfides
-
Herein we present the synthesis of symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted 1,3-bissulfanylbicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes from disulfides and [1.1.1]propellane. Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs) recently gained interest as rigid linkers and as bioisosters of parasubstituted benzene and alkyne moieties. The most promising precursor for BCPs is [1.1.1]propellane (1). The available methods to synthesize BCPs are quite limited and many groups contribute to the development of novel methods. The insertion of 1 into disulfide bonds is known, but has never been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we show that an UV initiated radical reaction can be used to synthesize symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted BCP sulfides by reaction of [1.1.1]propellane (1) with disulfides. Depending on the ratio of 1 to the disulfide, only the BCP product (with up to 98% yield) or a mixture of BCP and [2]staffane can be obtained. The reaction tolerates functional groups such as halogens, alkyl and methoxy groups. The separation of the corresponding BCP and [2]staffane products is challenging but possible by column chromatography and preparative TLC in most cases. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the rod-like structure of the [2]staffanes that is often required in material applications.

- An Annulative Synthetic Strategy for Building Triphenylene Frameworks by Multiple C?H Bond Activations

C?H activation is a versatile tool for appending aryl groups to aromatic systems. However, heavy demands on multiple catalytic cycle operations and site-selectivity have limited its use for graphene segment synthesis. A Pd-catal- yzed one-step synthesis of functionalized triphenylene frameworks is disclosed, which proceeds by 2- or 4-fold C?H arylation of unactivated benzene derivatives. A Pd2(dibenzylideneacetone)3 catalytic system, using cyclic diaryliodonium salts as π-extending agents, leads to site-selective inter- and intramolecular tandem arylation sequences. Moreover, N-substituted triphenylenes are applied to a field-effect transistor sensor for rapid, sensitive, and reversible alcohol vapor detection.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Tetrasubstituted Olefins by Triple Domino Process
-
An efficient, highly regio- and stereoselective protocol for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted olefins was developed to take place by a palladium(0)-catalyzed triple domino process. It involves the formation of three new C?C bonds through double carbopalladation and C?H activation across 2-bromoaryl alkynyl biaryls/heteroaryls with norbornene. This method is practically simple with broad substrate scope and tolerates a wide range of substituents. The products bearing 9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole motifs reveal intriguing solid state fluorescence properties and thus form a new class of aggregation induced emission (AIE) fluorophores. (Figure presented.).

- Mild, visible light-mediated decarboxylation of aryl carboxylic acids to access aryl radicals
-
Herein we present the first example of aryl radical formation via the visible light-mediated decarboxylation of aryl carboxylic acids using photoredox catalysis. This method constitutes a mild protocol for the decarboxylation of cheap and abundant aryl carboxylic acids and tolerates both electron-rich substrates and those lacking ortho-substitution. The in situ formation of an acyl hypobromite is proposed to prevent unproductive hydrogen atom abstraction and trapping of the intermediate aroyloxy radical, enabling mild decarboxylation.

- Simple and Efficient Generation of Aryl Radicals from Aryl Triflates: Synthesis of Aryl Boronates and Aryl Iodides at Room Temperature
-
Despite the wide use of aryl radicals in organic synthesis, current methods to prepare them from aryl halides, carboxylic acids, boronic acids, and diazonium salts suffer from limitations. Aryl triflates, easily obtained from phenols, are promising aryl radical progenitors but remain elusive in this regard. Inspired by the single electron transfer process for aryl halides to access aryl radicals, we developed a simple and efficient protocol to convert aryl triflates to aryl radicals. Our success lies in exploiting sodium iodide as the soft electron donor assisted by light. This strategy enables the scalable synthesis of two types of important organic molecules, i.e., aryl boronates and aryl iodides, in good to high yields, with broad functional group compatibility in a transition-metal-free manner at room temperature. This protocol is anticipated to find potential applications in other aryl-radical-involved reactions by using aryl triflates as aryl radical precursors.

- ONE STEP DIRECT ARYLATION OF COMMODITY CHEMICALS TO SPECIALTY CHEMICALS BY TANDEM CATALYTIC PLATFORM
-
The present invention relates to a continuous direct arylation process based on a tandem catalyst for synthesizing specialty chemicals. A method for synthesizing an aryl-aryl structure from a substrate selected from the group consisting of benzyl alcohol, benzyl amine and toluene which are low value added compounds is developed using a silver ion-containing tandem catalyst. The method is applied for synthesizing hexaphenyl arylene and can be applied for synthesizing high value added compounds (not only natural substances and chemical compounds but pharmaceutical and agricultural pesticide relative fields) directly from primary raw materials through the reaction.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2017

- An Approach to Tetraphenylenes via Pd-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization
-
Tetraphenylenes not only are theoretically and experimentally interesting but also have potential applications in a variety of fields such as materials science, supramolecular chemistry, and asymmetric catalysis. A facile and efficient approach is reported for the syntheis of tetraphenylene and its derivatives from 2-iodobiphenyls via Pd-catalyzed C-H activation. A range of substituted tetraphenylenes can be synthesized using this method, and the reaction can be performed on gram scale with relatively high efficiency, demonstrating its practical utility. This novel approach provides easy access to tetraphenylenes and should facilitate research on the application of this type of fascinating molecules.

- Facile synthesis of a hole transporting material with a silafluorene core for efficient mesoscopic CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells
-
A novel electron-rich small-molecule, 4,4′-(5,5-dihexyl-5H-dibenzo[b,d]silole-3,7-diyl)bis(N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline) (S101), containing silafluorene as the core with arylamine side groups, has been synthesized via a short efficient route. When S101 was incorporated into a CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cell as a hole transporting material (HTM), a short circuit photocurrent density (Jsc) of 18.9 mA cm-2, an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.92 V, and a fill factor (FF) of 0.65 contributing to an overall power conversion efficiency (PCE) of ～11% which is comparable to the PCE obtained using the current state-of-the-art HTM 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis(N,N′-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9′-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) (η = 12.3%) were obtained. S101 is thus a promising HTM with the potential to replace the expensive spiro-OMeTAD due to its comparable performance and much simpler and less expensive synthesis route.

- Sequential Difunctionalization of 2-Iodobiphenyls by Exploiting the Reactivities of a Palladacycle and an Acyclic Arylpalladium Species
-
A novel sequential difunctionalization reaction of 2-iodobiphenyl has been developed by exploiting the distinct reactivities of a palladacycle and an acyclic arylpalladium species. In this tandem reaction, an in situ formed dibenzopalladacyclopentadiene reacts selectively with an alkyl halide, after which the thus formed acyclic arylpalladium species selectively undergoes a Heck reaction with an alkene. This work demonstrates the strong relationship between the coordination mode of a transition metal complex and its reactivity, which could shed light on the mechanisms of other transition-metal-catalyzed reactions and offer the opportunity to develop other synthetically enabling organic transformations.

- Dimethyl Sulfoxide and N-Iodosuccinimide Promoted 5-exo-dig Oxidative Cyclization of Yne-Tethered Ynamide: Access to Pyrrolidones and Spiro-pyrrolidones
-
An unprecedented metal-free dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and N-iodosuccinimide mediated regioselective 5-exo-dig oxidative cyclization of an in situ generated enol equivalent of amides from ynamides bearing internal alkynes is demonstrated. The reaction allows easy access to functionalized pyrrolidone skeletons. Pyrrolidones having 3-o-biaryl motifs successfully undergo intramolecular electrophilic cyclization with the α,β-unsaturated olefin, furnishing spiro-pyrrolidone motifs. A one-pot sequential 5-exo-dig cyclization of the yne-tethered ynamides, followed by electrophilic cyclization of the pyrrolidone, is presented. The role of DMSO in the transformation is clarified, and a tentative reaction pathway is proposed.

- One-Step Pyrolysis Preparation of 1.1.1 Oriented Gold Nanoplatelets Supported on Graphene and Six Orders of Magnitude Enhancement of the Resulting Catalytic Activity
-
Pyrolysis of chitosan films containing Au3+ renders 1.1.1 oriented Au nanoplatelets (20 nm lateral size, 3-4 nm height) on a few layers of N-doped graphene (${overline {{rm{Au}}} }$/fl-G), while the lateral sides were 0.0.1 oriented. Comparison of the catalytic activity of ${overline {{rm{Au}}} }$/fl-G films with powders of unoriented Au NPs supported on graphene showed that ${overline {{rm{Au}}} }$/fl-G films exhibit six orders of magnitude enhancement for three gold-catalyzed reactions, namely, Ullmann-like homocoupling, C-N cross coupling, and the oxidative coupling of benzene to benzoic acid. This enhancement is the result of the defined morphology, facet orientation of Au nanocrystals, and strong gold-graphene interaction.

- Pd catalyzed insertion of alkynes into cyclic diaryliodoniums: A direct access to multi-substituted phenanthrenes
-
Cyclic diaryliodoniums remain unexplored compared to linear iodoniums. In our current work, internal alkynes were for the first time applied to react with cyclic iodoniums, catalyzed by Pd, resulting in a [4 + 2] benzannulation. Our work offers a new strategy to synthesize multi-substituted phenanthrene derivatives which are not easily accessed by conventional methods.

- Self-assembly of metallosupramolecular rhombi from chiral concave 9,9'-spirobifluorene-derived bis(pyridine) ligands
-
Two new 9,9'-spirobifluorene-based bis(4-pyridines) were synthesised in enantiopure and one also in racemic form. These ligands act as concave templates and form metallosupramolecular [(dppp)2M2L2] rhombi with cis-protected [(dppp)Pd]2+ and [(dppp)Pt]2+ ions. The self-assembly process of the racemic ligand preferably occurs in a narcissistic self-recognising manner. Hence, a mixture of all three possible stereoisomers [(dppp)2M2{(R)-L}2](OTf)4, [(dppp)2M2{(S)-L}2](OTf)4, and [(dppp)2M2{(R)-L}{(S)- L}](OTf)4 was obtained in an approximate 1.5:1.5:1 ratio which corresponds to an amplification of the homochiral assemblies by a factor of approximately three as evidenced by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The racemic homochiral assemblies could also be characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Transition-metal free direct C-H arylation of benzene with aryl halides was achieved by meso-aryl-substituted [14]triphyrins(2.1.1) catalysts in an air atmosphere. Various aryl halides underwent successful direct C-H arylation of benzene to give moderate to high yields of biaryls. A radical mechanism is proposed for this triphyrin catalyzed C-H arylation reaction.
