Exploiting the solvent control within electro-organic conversions is a far underestimated parameter in prep-scale electrolysis. The beneficial application in several transformations is outlined and in particular discussed for the dehydrogenative coupling of arenes and heteroarenes. This simple electrolytic strategy in fluorinated solvents allows the modulation of the substrate’s nucleophilicity and the stabilization of the intermediates as well as of the final product from over-oxidation.1 Introduction2 Solvent Effects in Kolbe Electrolysis and Anodic Fluorination3 Unique Solvent Effects of 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropan-2-ol (HFIP)4 Anodic Dehydrogenative Coupling Reactions with Use of HFIP as the Solvent5 Conclusion

Abstract: A natural driving force is always working behind the synthetic organic chemists towards the development of ‘green’ synthetic methodologies for the synthesis of useful classes of organic molecules having potential applications. The majority of the essential classes of organic transformations, including C-C and C-X (X = heteroatom) bond-forming crosscoupling reactions, cross dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) mostly rely on the requirement of transition-metal catalysts and hazardous organic solvents. Hence, the scope in developing green synthetic strategies by avoiding the use of transitionmetal catalysts and hazardous organic solvents for those important and useful classes of organic transformations is very high. Hence, several attempts are made so far. Water being the most abundant, cheap, and green solvent in the world; numerous synthetic methods have been developed in an aqueous medium. In this review, the development of transitionmetal- free green synthetic strategies for various important classes of organic transformations such as C-C and C-X bondforming cross-coupling, cross dehydrogenative-coupling, and oxidative-coupling in an aqueous media is discussed.

AbstractFunctionalized 1,4-naphthoquinones have been employed as versatile synthons in organic synthesis, in addition to presenting a large array of biological activities. Herein, the applications of 2-amino-/ acetylamino-substituted 3-iodo-1,4-naphthoquinones in cross-coupling reactions are described to successfully afford sixteen novel 3-styryl-1,4-naphthoquinones (amino-stilbene-quinone hybrids) and four 3-alkynyl-1,4-naphthoquinone in overall good yields. Interestingly, the alkynylated derivatives could be obtained from ligand- and Pd-free CuI-mediated cross-coupling reactions, after extensive investigations to exclude Pd as a co-catalyst. Lastly, the desilanized terminal alkyne was subjected to click chemistry reactions to give two novel triazole-1,4-naphthoquinone hybrids.

The chromenone core is an ubiquitous group in biologically active natural products and has been extensively used in organic synthesis. Fluorine-derived compounds, including those with a trifluoromethyl group (CF3), have shown enhanced biological activities in numerous pharmaceuticals compared with their non-fluorinated analogues. 2-Trifluoromethylchromenones can be readily functionalized at the 8- and 7-positions, providing chromenones cores of high structural complexity, which are excellent precursors for numerous trifluoromethyl heterocycles.

AbstractRadicals can be generated by the cleavage of the C—B bond of alkylboranes or boronic acid derivatives. The fragmentation process may result from a nucleohomolytic substitution process or from a redox process. The nucleohomolytic substitution is ideal for the generation of alkyl radicals and is usually part of a chain-reaction process. Redox processes (mainly oxidative reactions) have been used to generate both alkyl and aryl radicals. The use of stoichiometric oxidizing agents can be avoided by employing photoredox catalysis. A broad range of synthetic applications such as radical cascade processes, multicomponent reactions, and cross-coupling reactions in the presence of suitable metal catalysts are now possible. In their diversity, organoboron compounds represent one of the most general sources of radicals. The merging of radical chemistry with the classical chemistry of organoboron derivatives opens tremendous opportunities for applications in organic synthesis.
