RESUMO
A visible-light-induced radical-cascade selenocyanation/cyclization of N-alkyl-N-methacryloyl benzamides, 2-aryl-N-acryloyl indoles, and N-methacryloyl-2-phenylbenzimidazoles with potassium isoselenocyanate (KSeCN) was developed. The reactions were carried out with inexpensive KSeCN as a selenocyanation reagent, potassium persulfate as an oxidant, 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate as a bifunctional catalyst for phase-transfer catalysis, and photocatalysis. A library of selenocyanate-containing isoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-diones, indolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-6(5H)-ones, and benzimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-6(5H)-ones were achieved in moderate to excellent yields at room temperature under visible-light and ambient conditions. Importantly, the present protocol features mild reaction conditions, large-scale synthesis, simple manipulation, product derivatization, good functional group, and heterocycle tolerance.
RESUMO
Reported herein is the 1,2-dithiocyanation of alkenes and alkynes via an efficient and facile electrochemical method. This approach not only showed a broad substrate scope and good functional-group compatibility but also avoided stoichiometric oxidants. Different from previous reports, various internal alkynes could be tolerated to provide tetra-substituted alkenes. Further gram-scale-up experiments and synthetic transformation demonstrated a potential application in organic synthesis. This process underwent a radical pathway, as evidenced by our mechanistic studies.
RESUMO
A palladium-catalyzed direct C-H arylation of indolines at C-7 position has been achieved at near-ambient temperature. The reaction was carried out with aryltriazene as a stable aryl source and electron shuttle to sustainably release aryl radical in situ under the action of promoter, and pyrimidine as a detachable directing group for the synthesis of 7-arylindolines under oxidant- and ligand-free conditions. Notably, this catalytic system can also be applied to the direct and site-selective arylation of tetrahydroquinolines (C-8) and carbazoles (C-1).
RESUMO
We have developed the synthesis of α-substituted ketone compounds with enol acetates in an electrochemical way. By using cheap NH4SCN and MeOH as the radical sources, a series of valuable α-thiocyanates/methoxy ketones were synthesized under mild electrolysis conditions in acceptable yields with diverse functional group compatibility. Additionally, the scale-up experiment and synthetic transformations reveal potential applications in organic synthesis.
RESUMO
An electrochemical three component cascade phosphorylation reaction of various heteroatoms-containing nucleophiles including carbazoles, indoles, phenols, alcohols, and thiols with Ph2 PH has been established. Electricity is used as the "traceless" oxidant and water and air are utilized as the "green" oxygen source. All kinds of structurally diverse organophosphorus compounds with P(O)-N/P(O)-O/P(O)-S bonds are assembled in moderate to excellent yields (three categories of phosphorylation products, 50 examples, up to 97 % yield). A tentative free radical course is put forward to rationalize the reaction procedure.

Single-chain Fv (scFv) antibodies are recombinant proteins in which the variable regions of the heavy chain (VH) and light chain (VL) are connected by a short flexible polypeptide linker. ScFvs have the advantages of easy genetic manipulation and low-cost production using Escherichia coli compared with monoclonal antibodies, and are thus expected to be utilized as next-generation medical antibodies. However, the practical use of scFvs has been limited due to low homogeneity caused by their aggregation propensity mediated by inter-chain VH-VL interactions. Because the interactions between the VH and VL domains of antibodies are generally weak, individual scFvs are assumed to be in equilibrium between a closed state and an open state, in which the VH and VL domains are assembled and disassembled, respectively. This dynamic feature of scFvs triggers the formation of dimer, trimer, and larger aggregates caused by the inter-chain VH-VL interactions. To overcome this problem, the N-terminus and C-terminus were herein connected by sortase A-mediated ligation to produce a cyclic scFv. Open-closed dynamics and aggregation were markedly suppressed in the cyclic scFv, as judged from dynamic light scattering and high-speed atomic force microscopy analyses. Surface plasmon resonance and differential scanning fluorometry analysis revealed that neither the affinity for antigen nor the thermal stability was disrupted by the scFv cyclization. Generality was confirmed by applying the present method to several scFv proteins. Based on these results, cyclic scFvs are expected to be widely utilized in industrial and therapeutic applications.

A novel chiral 1,10-phenanthroline-based fluorescent sensor was designed and synthesized from optical active ß-amino acids. It used 1,10-phenanthroline moiety as a fluorescent signaling site and binding site, with optically active ß-amino acids as a chiral barrier site. Notably, the optically active ß-amino acids were obtained by a Lewis base catalyzed hydrosilylation of ß-enamino esters according to our former work. The chiral sensor has been used to conduct the enantioselective recognition of chiral mono and dicarboxylic acids derivatives. Using this fluorescent sensor, a moderate "turn-off" fluorescence-diminishment response towards enantiomer of tartaric acids, and proline was observed. It found that l-enantiomers quench the chiral fluorescence sensor more efficiently than d-enantiomers due to the absolute configuration of the ß-amino acid.

The charge carrier mobility of p-type and ambipolar polymer field-effect transistors (FETs) has been improved substantially. Nonetheless, high-mobility n-type polymers are rare, and few can be operated under ambient conditions. This situation is mainly caused by the scarcity of strong electron-deficient building blocks. Herein, we present two novel electron-deficient building blocks, FBDOPV-1 and FBDOPV-2, with low LUMO levels down to -4.38 eV. On the basis of both building blocks, we develop two poly(p-phenylene vinylene) derivatives (PPVs), FBDPPV-1 and FBDPPV-2, for high-performance n-type polymer FETs. The introduction of the fluorine atoms effectively lowers the LUMO levels of both polymers, leading to LUMO levels as low as -4.30 eV. Fluorination endows both polymers with not only lower LUMO levels, but also more ordered thin-film packing, smaller π-π stacking distance, stronger interchain interaction and locked conformation of polymer backbones. All these factors provide FBDPPV-1 with high electron mobilities up to 1.70 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) and good stability under ambient conditions. Furthermore, when polymers have different fluorination positions, their backbone conformations in solid state differ, eventually leading to different device performance.
RESUMO
With the aid of pH variation, the fine control of the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond was realised in the mixed system of oleic acid and diethylenetriamine. Owing to the transformation of the intermolecular interactions, the corresponding building blocks changed from DETA(2+)@2OA(-)via the coexistence of DETA@2OA(-) and DETA(+)@OA(-) to DETA@2OA(-). Therefore, diverse microstructures and phase behaviors in this mixed surfactant system were obtained at the different pH values. It is found that the fine control of the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond is efficient for tailoring the self-assembled structures in this cationic-anionic surfactant system, including vesicles, bilayers, networks formed by aggregated vesicles and fibers.
RESUMO
We herein reported a novel photoredox-catalyzed three-component alkylarylation of vinyl arenes with alkylboronic pinacol esters (APEs) and cyanoarenes via radical addition/cross-coupling to construct 1,1-diarylalkanes. In this transformation, alkyl radicals were easily available by visible-light-induced oxidative N-H cleavage of morpholine, which used APEs as a radical precursor. Furthermore, this protocol exhibited a broad substrate scope, enabling various styrenes, APEs, and cyanoarenes, as well as bioactive molecule derivatives.
RESUMO
A photoinduced deuterodetriazenation of aryltriazenes with CDCl3 under catalyst-free conditions is reported. The reactions featured simple operation, ecofriendly conditions, readily available reagents, inexpensive D sources, precise site selectivity, and a wide range of substrates. Since aryltriazenes could be readily synthesized from arylamine, this protocol can be used as a general method for easily and accurately incorporating deuterium into aromatic systems by using CDCl3 as a D source.
RESUMO
An efficient palladium-catalyzed region-selective C7-trifluoromethylation of indolines using commercially available Umemoto's reagent was reported. The reaction utilizing Umemoto's reagent as CF3 radical precursor, pyrimidine as a removable directing group, Pd(II) as a catalyst, and Cu(II) as an oxidant furnished the required products with excellent regioselectivities and good yields. The present strategy has good region-selectivity, broad substrate scope, and scale-up application. Additionally, the present method was underlined by the direct C-1 trifluoromethylation of carbazoles. Furthermore, C7 trifluoromethylated indole can also be easily obtained via Pd-catalyzed direct C-7 trifluoromethylation/oxidation/deprotection sequential reactions.
RESUMO
A green visible-light-promoted and electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex-driven synthetic strategy for the construction of value-added naphtho[1',2':4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines from 2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with Z-α-bromocinnamaldehydes has been accomplished under photocatalyst- and transition-metal-free conditions. This efficient annulation approach provides a new and straightforward pathway for the annulative π-extension of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-based aromatics. Moreover, the sustainable methodology exhibits simple operation, a wide range of substrates, benign conditions, and good functional group compatibility.
RESUMO
Two functional main-chain linear polyrotaxanes, one a covalent polymeric chain that threads through many macrocycles (P1) and the other a poly[n]rotaxane chain that is composed of many repeating rotaxane units (P2), were synthesized by employing strong crown-ether/ammonium-based (DB24C8/DBA) host-guest interactions and click chemistry. Energy transfer between the wheel and axle units in both polyrotaxanes was used to provide insight into the conformational information of their resulting polyrotaxanes. Steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy were performed to understand the conformation differences between polymers P1 and P2 in solution. Additional investigations by using dynamic/static light scattering and atomic force microscopy illustrated that polymer P1 was unbending and had a rigid rod-like structure, whilst polymer P2 was curved and flexible. This flexible topology facilitated the self-assembly of polymer P2 into relatively large ball-shaped particles. In addition, the energy transfer between the wheel and axle units was controlled by the addition of specific anions or base. The anion-induced energy enhancement was attributed to a change in electrostatic interactions between the polymer chains. The base-driven molecular shuttle broke the DB24C8/DBA host-guest interactions. These results confirm that both intra- and intermolecular electrostatic interactions are crucial for modulating conformational topology, which determines the assembly of polyrotaxanes in solution.
