An unprecedented copper(I)-catalyzed vinylation of (donor)-acceptor diazo compounds with VinylBenziodoXolone reagents (VBX) as partners is reported. The transformation tolerates variation of both donor- and acceptor substituents on the diazo compounds, delivering the corresponding benzoylated allylic alcohol products in good to excellent yields. Through the development of a protocol for the synthesis of functionalized alkanes-, dienes- and enynes-substituted VBX reagents, a broad scope of substituents on the alkene could be accessed. The obtained products contain synthetically versatile functional groups, such as an aryl iodide, an ester and an allylic leaving group, enabling selective further modification.

AbstractAggregation-induced emission (AIE) has proven to be a viable strategy to achieve highly efficient room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in bulk by restricting molecular motions. Here, we show that by utilizing triphenylamine (TPA) as an electronic donor that connects to an acceptor via an sp3 linker, six TPA-based AIE-active RTP luminophores were obtained. Distinct dual phosphorescence bands emitting from largely localized donor and acceptor triplet emitting states could be recorded at lowered temperatures; at room temperature, only a merged RTP band is present. Theoretical investigations reveal that the two temperature-dependent phosphorescence bands both originate from local/global minima from the lowest triplet excited state (T1). The reported molecular construct serves as an intermediary case between a fully conjugated donor-acceptor system and a donor/acceptor binary mix, which may provide important clues on the design and control of high-freedom molecular systems with complex excited-state dynamics.

The introduction of a chemical additive to supramolecular polymers holds high potential in the development of new structures and functions. In this regard, various donor- and acceptor-based molecules have been applied in the design of these noncovalent polymers. However, the incorporation of boron–nitrogen frustrated Lewis pairs in such architectures is still rare despite their many intriguing properties in catalysis and materials science. The limited choices of suitable boron derivatives represent one of the main limitations for the advancement in this direction. Here, we examine the use of the commercially available tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane with various triphenylamine derivatives to create supramolecular B–N charge transfer systems. Our results highlight the importance of a proper balance between the donor/acceptor strength and the driving force for supramolecular polymerization to achieve stable, long-range ordered B–N systems. Detailed analyses using electron paramagnetic resonance and optical spectroscopy suggest that tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane displays complex behavior with the amide-based triphenylamine supramolecular polymers and may interact in dimers or larger chiral aggregates, depending on the specific structure of the triphenylamines.

Fullerenes and phthalocyanines are ideally suited for devising integrated, multi-component model systems to transmit and process solar energy. Implementation of C 60 as a three-dimensional electron acceptor bears great promises on account of its small reorganization energy in electron transfer reactions and has exerted a noteworthy impact on the improvement of light-induced charge separation. This mini-review describes how the specific composition of phthalocyanines chromophores associated with C 60 – yielding artificial light-harvesting antenna and reaction center mimics – have been elegantly utilized to tune the electronic couplings between donor and acceptor sites. Specifically, the effects that these parameters have on the rate, yield and lifetime of the energetic charge-separated states are considered.

<div>Cycloaddition reactions provide an expeditious route to construct ring systems in a highly convergent and stereoselective manner. For a typical cycloaddition reaction to occur, however, the installation of multiple reactive functional groups (π-bonds, leaving group, etc.) are required within the substrates, compromising the overall efficiency or scope of the cycloaddition reaction. Here, we report a palladium-catalyzed [3+2] reaction that utilizes C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H activation to generate the three-carbon unit for formal cycloaddition with maleimides. We implemented a strategy where the initial C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H activation/olefin insertion would trigger a relayed, second remote C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H activation to complete a formal [3+2] cycloaddition. The diastereoselectivity profile of this reaction resembles that of a typical pericyclic cycloaddition reaction in that the relationships between multiple stereocenters are exquisitely controlled in a single reaction. The key to success was the use of weakly coordinating amides as the directing group, as undesired Heck or alkylation pathways were preferred with other types of directing groups. The use of the pyridine-3-sulfonic acid ligands is critical to enable C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H activation directed by this weak coordination. The method is compatible with a wide range of amide substrates, including lactams, which lead to novel spiro-bicyclic products. The [3+2] product is also shown to undergo a reductive desymmetrization process to access chiral cyclopentane bearing multiple stereocenters with excellent enantioselectivity.</div>

A convenient and practical method has been developed for the synthesis of substituted oxazolo[5,4-h]pyrrolo[4,3,2-de]quinolones via the intramolecular oxidative cyclization by using PIFA as oxidant and TMSOTf as additive in DCE under an air atmosphere. The reaction proceeds in good yields and has good functional groups tolerance.
