AbstractThe increasing use of acridinium photocatalysts as sustainable alternative to precious metal-based counterparts encourages the design and efficient synthesis of distinct catalyst structures. Herein, we report our exploration of the scope of the aryne–imine–aryne coupling reaction combined with a subsequent acridane oxidation for a short two-step approach towards various acridinium salts. The photophysical properties of the novel photocatalysts were investigated and the practical value was demonstrated by a cation-radical accelerated nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction.

AbstractAn asymmetric organocatalytic nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of azlactones with electron-deficient aryls was established. A variety of α-aryl α-alkyl α-amino acid esters and peptides were obtained in decent yields and stereoselectivities. A new bifunctional catalytic mode involving charge-transfer interaction and hydrogen bonding is proposed to explain the enantioselectivity.

The syntheses of 4-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-imidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl-2-yl)phenoxy]phthalonitrile (3, C21H19N4O3) and 4-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-imidazoline-1-oxyl-2-yl)phenoxy]phthalonitrile (4) were carried out by microwave-assisted nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 4-nitrophthalonitrile (2) by the pre-formed 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-imidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl (1). Compounds 3 and 4 were characterized unambiguously by a rich array of analyses, such as melting point, FT–IR, MALDI–TOF MS, elemental analysis, UV–Vis, CV, EPR, magnetic measurements and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural studies demonstrate that the C—H...X and C—X...π (X = O and N) interactions in the radical nitronyl nitroxide groups play an important role in the assembly of the crystal structures. Moreover, cyclic voltammetry analyses show that the phthalonitrile substituent retains the redox properties of the Ullman radicals.

A novel derivative of the prominent ROY compound, 5-acetyl-2-((2-nitrophenyl)amino)thiophene-3-carbonitrile (AcROY), was synthesized in a two-steps procedure by the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction between 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene and 2-aminothiophene-3-carbonitrile, followed by Friedel–Crafts acylation...

An efficient method for nucleophilic aromatic substitution on 7-azaindoles has been developed. The reaction is facilitated by the unique dual influence of SEM as both protecting and activating group, permitting mild conditions and short reaction times that are compatible with sensitive functional groups. The method is suitable for the synthesis of a broad range of products, most notably ethers.
