- Persistent room temperature blue phosphorescence from racemic crystals of 1,1-diphenylmethanol derivatives
-
Among the six alkyldiphenylmethanol derivatives assessed in this study, five showed persistent room temperature phosphorescence (pRTP), whereas the original diphenylmethanol (DPhHOH) did not. pRTP is a unique luminescence phenomenon that appears only in t

- DMSO-Enabled Selective Radical O?H Activation of 1,3(4)-Diols
-
Control of selectivity is one of the central topics in organic chemistry. Although unprecedented alkoxyl-radical-induced transformations have drawn a lot of attention, compared to selective C?H activation, selective radical O?H activation remains less explored. Herein, we report a novel selective radical O?H activation strategy of diols by combining spatial effects with proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). It was found that DMSO is an essential reagent that enables the regioselective transformation of diols. Mechanistic studies indicated the existence of the alkoxyl radical and the selective interaction between DMSO and hydroxyl groups. Moreover, the distal C?C cleavage was realized by this selective alkoxyl-radical-initiation protocol.

- Bromomethyl Silicate: A Robust Methylene Transfer Reagent for Radical-Polar Crossover Cyclopropanation of Alkenes
-
A general protocol for visible-light-induced cyclopropanation of alkenes was developed with bromomethyl silicate as a methylene transfer reagent, offering a robust tool for accessing highly valuable cyclopropanes. In addition to α-aryl or methyl-substituted Michael acceptors and styrene derivatives, the unactivated 1,1-dialkyl ethylenes were also shown to be viable substrates. Apart from realizing the cyclopropanation of terminal alkenes, the methyl transfer reaction has been further demonstrated to be amenable to the internal olefins. The photocatalytic cyclopropanation of 1,3-bis(1-arylethenyl)benzenes was also achieved, giving polycyclopropane derivatives in excellent yields. With late-stage cyclopropanation as the key strategy, the synthetic utility of this transformation was also demonstrated by the total synthesis of LG100268.

- Iron-catalysed 1,2-aryl migration of tertiary azides
-
1,2-Aryl migration of α,α-diaryl tertiary azides was achieved by using the catalytic system of FeCl2/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) SIPr·HCl. The reaction generated aniline products in good yields after one-pot reduction of the migration-resultant imines.

- A simple and efficient copper oxide-catalyzed Barbier-Grignard reaction of unactivated aryl or alkyl bromides with ester
-
An efficient one-pot route to synthesize tertiary alcohol compounds using Barbier-Grignard reaction of unactivated alkyl or aryl bromides with ester in THF at 65 C catalyzed by CuO has been developed and systematically investigated. A wide range of substituted tertiary alcohol compounds were obtained in good to high yields. The reaction is highly chemoselective. The mechanism involving the leaving group of R2O-group is discussed.

- Oxidative heck arylation for the stereoselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted olefins using nitroxides as oxidants
-
One, two, and three! Nitroxides and dioxygen serve as oxidants in highly stereoselective oxidative Pd-catalyzed Heck arylations in which aryl boronic acids are used to synthesize triarylalkyl-substituted olefins. The reactions occur under very mild conditions at room temperature. As an example, the threefold sequential arylation of methyl acrylate is the crucial step in the stereoselective synthesis of Z-Tamoxifen.

- Highly efficient alkylation to ketones and aldimines with Grignard reagents catalyzed by zinc(II) chloride
-
A highly efficient alkylation to ketones and aldimines with Grignard reagents in the presence of catalytic trialkylzinc(II) ate complexes derived from ZnCl2 (10 mol %) in situ was developed. This simple Zn(II)-catalyzed alkylation could minimize the well-known but serious problems with the use of only Grignard reagents, which leads to reduction and aldol side products, and the yield of desired alkylation products could be improved.

- Highly alkyl-selective addition to ketones with magnesium ate complexes derived from Gignard reagents
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A highly efficient alkyl-selective addition to ketones with magnesium ate complexes derived from Grignard reagents and alkyllithiums is described. The nucleophilicity of R in R3MgLi is remarkably increased compared to that of the original RLi or RMgX, while the basicity of R3MgLi is decreased. Furthermore, a highly R-selective addition to ketones is demonstrated using RMe2MgLi in place of R 3MgLi.

- One-pot synthesis of diarylalkylcarbinols and substituted derivatives through carbon monoxide insertion reactions into aryllithiums
-
The carbonylation of a THF solution of aryllithium (aryl = Ph, o-anisyl) in the presence of an alkyl bromide, RBr; at atmospheric pressure and -78 deg C, affords diarylalkylcarbinols in good yields.Alkyl chlorides do not react under similar experimental conditions.This feature makes the reaction particularly useful for the synthesisof alcohols functionalized in the alkyl chain through subsequent reactions of the diaryl(chloro)alkylcarbinols.The procedure can also be adapted to afford substituted cyclic ethers.If the reaction is carried out in the presence of dibromoalkanes, only one bromine atom reacts, affording diaryl(bromo)alkylcarbinols which are useful intermediates.With secondary and tertiary alkyl bromides diaryl alkyl ethers are obtained in variable yields.
