- Csp3-Csp3 homocoupling reaction of benzyl halides catalyzed by rhodium
-
A highly reactive alkylrhodium complex was formed from Me2Zn and RhCl(PPh3)3 and effectively catalyzed a Csp 3-Csp3 homocoupling reaction of benzyl halides. A Csp 3-Csp3 coupling reaction using Rh catalyst has not been reported up to now. The reaction proceeded under very mild conditions and gave the corresponding homocoupling products even if they had reactive substituents such as an uncovered formyl or hydroxymethyl group.

- Efficient light harvesting by sequential energy transfer across aggregates in polymers of finite conjugational segments with short aliphatic linkages
-
Interactions between lumophores have a critical influence on the photophysical properties of conjugated polymers. We synthesized a new series of light-harvesting polymers (poly-DSBs, I-IV) of dialkyloxy- or dialkyl- substituted distyrylbenzene (the substituents being methoxy, 2-ethylhexyloxy, and cyclohexyl) with short aliphatic linkage (methylene or ethylene) and examined the effects of interactions between lumophores and of chemical structures on the absorption, emission, and excitation spectra. The proximity between distyrylbenzene lumophores was shown to be critical to the interactions between lumophores and to the energy-transfer processes. In concentrated solutions and solid films, intermolecular aggregates exist resulting from different extents of interactions between lumophores and are found to involve at least three species: loose, compact, and the most aligned aggregates as observed by photoluminescence and excitation spectroscopies. We also found, for the first time, sequential energy transfer from individual lumophores to the most compact, aligned aggregates via the looser intermolecular aggregates, as observed directly by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Such a process mimics energy transfer in photosynthesis units and is so efficient such that the fluorescence color can be red-shifted drastically by the presence of comparatively few aggregates and that the light evolved from concentrated solutions and films of poly-DSBs I-IV is entirely or almost the aggregation emission. Although the sequential energy-transfer process in fully conjugated electro-/photoluminescent polymers due to inhomogenity other than distributed conjugation lengths has never been directly observed at room temperature, we suggest that events similar to those observed in poly-DSBs in conjugated polymers could occur but on a much shorter time scale, i.e., a few picoseconds.

- Cyclophanes, XLVI oxidative carbon - carbon bond cleavage of a [2.2]paracyclophane derivative - efficient intramolecular trapping of the radical cation
-
4-(2,3,4,5-Tetraphenyl)phenyl[2.2]paracyclophane (3) has been prepared by cycloaddition of tetracyclone (2) to 4-ethynyl[2.2]paracyclophane (1). On treatment with FeCl3 or AlCl3 or NOBF4 in nitromethane, 3 undergoes C-C bond cleavage by an electron transfer process to provide the double benzyl radical cation 10. The phenyl groups of the aryl substituent are ideally oriented for intramolecular trapping and, in the presence of the Lewis acids, ring closure to the new phane system 5 takes place in good yield (65%). In the presence of NOBF4, the half-cyclized aldehyde 6 (66%) is produced. For comparison, [2.2]paracyclophane (7) was also treated with the latter one-electron oxidant, providing bibenzyl-4,4'-dicarbaldehyde (8, 30%) and its monooxime 9 (35%). The structures of the new phane systems 3 and 5 have been determined by X-ray structural analysis, and the mechanisms leading to these products are discussed.

- Influence of Conformation and Proton-Transfer Dynamics in the Dibenzyl σ-Complex on Regioselectivity in Gattermann-Koch Formylation via Intracomplex Reaction
-
The Gattermann-Koch formylations of diphenyl, diphenylmethane, dibenzyl, and 1,3-diphenyl- propane were studied in HF-SbF5, -TaF5, -BF3, -NbF5, and CF3SO3H-SbF5. While usual high para regioselectivity was obtained for diphenyl, diphenylmethane, and 1,3-diphenylpropane, unprecedented ortho regioselectivity was observed for dibenzyl which increased with decreasing the SbF5/dibenzyl molar ratio and with strength of Lewis acids used in HF. A sandwich-like complex for monoprotonated dibenzyl resulting in ortho regioselectivity via the intracomplex reaction was suggested; therefore, the conformations of protonated diphenylmethane, dibenzyl, and 1,3- diphenylpropane and their proton-transfer dynamics were probed by semiempirical calculation (PM3). The calculation predicted that ortho monoprotonation was slightly preferable for dibenzyl, and remarkable preference of dibenzyl over other aromatic compounds was observed in ortho- ortho intramolecular inter-ring proton transfer via a fan-shaped complex rather than a sandwich- like complex. The experimental and theoretical data for dibenzyl are compatible with the intracomplex reaction, whereby CO is protonated by the ortho σ-complex undergoing rapid inter- ring proton transfer to generate formyl cation in the vicinity of the ortho position leading to ortho regioselectivity.
