The metal-free thermal organocatalytic pinacol coupling of arylaldehydes has been developed. The intermolecular coupling of arylaldehydes catalyzed byt-butyl isonicotinate with bis(pinacolato)diboron as the co-reducing agent afforded 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diols. This reaction was also applicable to the intramolecular coupling of 1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′-dicarbaldehydes to afford 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-9,10-diols. Various functional groups were tolerated under this coupling condition.

Postmodification of reticular materials with well-defined catalysts is an appealing approach to produce new catalytic functional materials with improved stability and recyclability, but also to study catalysis in confined spaces. A promising strategy to this end is the postfunctionalization of crystalline and robust metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to exploit the potential of crystal-to-crystal transformations for further characterization of the catalysts. In this regard, two new photocatalytic materials, MOF-520-PC1 and MOF-520-PC2, are straightforwardly obtained by the postfunctionalization of MOF-520 with perylene-3-carboxylic acid (PC1) and perylene-3-butyric acid (PC2). The single crystal-to-crystal transformation yielded the X-ray diffraction structure of catalytic MOF-520-PC2. The well-defined disposition of the perylenes inside the MOF served as suitable model systems to gain insights into the photophysical properties and mechanism by combining steady-state, time-resolved, and transient absorption spectroscopy. The resulting materials are active organophotoredox catalysts in the reductive dimerization of aromatic aldehydes, benzophenones, and imines under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, MOF-520-PC2 can be applied for synthesizing gram-scale quantities of products in continuous-flow conditions under steady-state light irradiation. This work provides an alternative approach for the construction of well-defined, metal-free, MOF-based catalysts.

A linear synthesis of o-terphenyl derivatives has been delineated using ring closing metathesis (RCM) as the key step. In this approach, benzil derivatives upon allyl Grignard addition provides diphenyl-1,2-diallyl dihydroxy derivatives which undergo ring closing metathesis to afford tetrahydro terphenyl derivatives. Aromatization-driven dehydration then leads to a diverse set of electron rich and electron deficient o-terphenyls. Furthermore, oxidative coupling of electron rich o-terphenyls provides the corresponding triphenylene derivatives.
