Catalyst-Free Approach to Construct C–C Bond Initiated by N–O Bond Cleavage under Thermal Conditions

An unexpected and novel approach to construct the sp² C–sp³ C bond has been developed via N–O bond cleavage without any external catalysts or additives. It is a very simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly method and will be a very attractive radical process toward new C–C bond formation

Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Ortho Acylation of Azobenzenes with α‑Oxocarboxylic Acids

A palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative ortho acylation of azobenzenes with α-oxocarboxylic acids via ligand-directed C–H activation has been explored. The reaction proceeded smoothly with potassium persulfate as the oxidant to afford acylated unsymmetrical azobenzenes in moderate to good yields and tolerated chloro, bromo, iodo, and methoxy groups. Para, ortho, and disubstituted as well as unsymmetrical azobenzenes could be used

Palladium-Catalyzed Ortho-Arylation of Benzamides via Direct sp² C–H Bond Activation

The palladium-catalyzed ortho-arylation of benzamides by aryl iodides has been demonstrated with the simplest amide CONH₂ as a directing group for the first time. This protocol can be applied to various benzamides and aryl iodides with both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups. In addition, the synthesized biphenyl-2-carboxamides can be further transformed to other biphenyl derivatives such as nitriles, carboxylic acids, carbamates, and amines

Preparation, structures, and properties of nickel complexes containing 2,6-bis[4′,4′-dimethyloxazolin-2′-yl]pyridine, a pincer ligand

<div><p>Five- and six-coordinate nickel complexes [(Dm-Pybox)NiCl₂], [(Dm-Pybox)Ni(H₂O)Cl₂], [(Dm-Pybox)Ni(H₂O)₂Cl]Cl (<b>2a</b>), and [(Dm-Pybox)Ni(MeOH)₂Cl]Cl (<b>2b</b>), where Dm-Pybox is 2,6-bis[4′,4′-dimethyloxazolin-2′-yl]pyridine, have been isolated and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The solid state structures of <b>2a</b> and <b>2b</b> feature different modes of non-covalent interactions, C–H⋯Cl, C–H⋯O and O–H⋯Cl interactions. Spectroscopic and analytical methods, UV–vis and thermogravimetric analyses were done to further investigate chemical properties of the complexes.</p></div

Synthesis and Functionalization of [60]Fullerene-Fused Imidazolines

The silver carbonate promoted reaction of [60]fullerene with (<i>Z</i>)-<i>N</i>-arylbenzamidines afforded the unprecedented C₆₀-fused imidazoline derivatives in high yields. Substrates with both electron-donating and -withdrawing groups on aromatic rings could be employed. In addition, the electrochemistry and further selective functionalization of the obtained C₆₀-fused imidazolines were investigated
