- A versatile approach for the synthesis of para -substituted arenes via palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization and protodecarboxylation of benzoic acids
-
While a great number of ortho C-H functionalization reactions have been developed and several breakthroughs have been achieved in meta C-H activation, para C-H functionalization is still in its infancy stage. In this article, a versatile strategy for the synthesis of para-substituted arenes has been developed via a tandem process consisting of palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization and subsequent copper-catalyzed protodecarboxylation of benzoic acids. Both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating functionalities can be introduced into the para positions of arenes bearing a variety of substituents.

- Synthesis of isoindoles by one-electron reductions of dibenzo[1,4]diazocines
-
A synthetic protocol to isoindoles is reported through one-electron reductions of dibenzo[1,4]diazocines. The utility of the approach has been demonstrated through the synthesis of six novel isoindole derivatives. Photophysical measurements revealed emissions between 440 and 460 nm. A reaction mechanism, supported by experimental results and quantum chemical calculations, is postulated.

- Palladium-catalyzed chemoselective decarboxylative ortho acylation of benzoic acids with α-oxocarboxylic acids
-
Palladium-catalyzed chemoselective decarboxylative cross coupling of benzoic acids with α-oxocarboxylic acids was realized via an arene sp 2 C-H functionalization process. This work represents the first example of transition-metal-catalyzed cro

Photoenols 2 of 2- (1a), 2,4- (1b), 2,5- (1c), 2,6- (1d), 2,2'- (1e) and 2,3'-dimethylbenzophenones (1f) were trapped by (3)O2.When a 350 nm wavelength Hg lamp (Rayonet RPR 100) was used (benzene solution) with ketones 1a-c, the corresponding 2-formyl- 4 and 2-carboxybenzophenones 8 were formed as well as 3-phenyl-phtalides 10.Compounds 4 arose from dehydration of the intermediate endoperoxydes 3.Throught photoenolisation, 2-formylbenzophenones 4 gave the intermediate ketene-enols 5 which either isomerised to phtalides 10 or added oxygen to form the corresponding endoperoxydes 6; the latter isomerised to peracids 7, which, by reaction with aldehydes 4, yielded the carboxylic acids 8.When the aerated irradiations were performed simultaneously with 350 nm light and with light above 380 nm (Hanovia 679 A-36, benzene solution), ketones 1a-f yielded the same compounds 4, 8 and 10 but also anthraquinones 13.The latter arose from reversible cyclisation of photoenols 2 E giving dihydroanthranols 11 which were trapped by oxygen, yielding the anthrones 12 which were subsequently photooxidized to anthraquinones 13.With 2,6-dimethylbenzophenone (1d), the corresponding photoenols 2 were trapped for the first time.Compounds 8d, and 13d were absent, but instead 1-carboxyanthraquinone 15 was obtained.The latter can arise from 1-methylanthraquinone 13d trough photoenolisation-oxidation process alredy reported for this compound.With 2,2'-dimethylbenzophenone 1e, 3,3'-spirobiphtalide 14 was obtained instead 2-methyl-2'-carboxybenzophenone 8e; the latter, through a photoenolisation-oxidation process analogous to that described in the second paragraph, yielded 2,2'-dicarboxybenzophenone which underwent dehydration to compound 14.Under the same conditions (Hanovia) but in acetic acid solution, anthraquinones 13 were not formed with ketones 1a-f, due to rapid reketonisation of photoenols 2 E in this medium; however, compounds 4, 8, 10 and 14 were produced.Products 8, 10, 13, 14 and 15 were isolated and characterised or identified.Yields were deduced from actual weights of the isolated compounds (carboxylic acids 8 and 15) and from GLC determinations (compounds 4, 10, 13 and 14).
