- Visible-Light-Driven C4-Selective Alkylation of Pyridinium Derivatives with Alkyl Bromides
-
Reported herein is a general strategy for the photochemical cross-coupling between N-amidopyridinium salts and various alkyl bromides under photocatalyst-free conditions, granting facile access to various C4-alkylated pyridines. This approach exploits the intriguing photochemical activity of electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes between N-amidopyridinium salts and bromide, which provides a photoactive handle capable of generating silyl radicals and driving the alkylation process. The robustness of this protocol was further demonstrated by the late-stage functionalization of complex compounds under mild and metal-free conditions.

- Functionalization of Pyridinium Derivatives with 1,4-Dihydropyridines Enabled by Photoinduced Charge Transfer
-
By exploiting electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes between 1,4-dihydropyridines and N-amidopyridinium salts under visible light irradiation, we discovered that photoinduced intermolecular charge transfer induces a single-electron transfer event without requiring a photocatalyst for the facile functionalization of pyridines. The generality of this method is amenable to various types of 1,4-dihydropyridines radical precursors to generate structurally different radicals such as alkyl, acyl, and carbamoyl radicals, ultimately providing facile access to synthetically valuable C4-functionalized pyridines. A broad range of functional groups are well accommodated under mild and metal-free conditions, and the synthetic utility of the present method is showcased by the late-stage functionalization of a variety of biologically relevant pyridine-based compounds, pharmaceuticals, and peptide feedstocks.

- Stereodivergent Synthesis of Alkenylpyridines via Pd/Cu Catalyzed C-H Alkenylation of Pyridinium Salts with Alkynes
-
The first Pd/Cu catalyzed selective C2-alkenylation of pyridines with internal alkynes has been developed via the pyridinium salt activation strategy. Importantly, the configuration of the product alkenylpyridines could be tuned by the choice of the proper N-alkyl group of the pyridinium salts, thus allowing for both the Z- and E-alkenylpyridines synthesized with good regio- and stereoselectivity. A plausible mechanism was proposed based on the Hammett study and KIE experiment.

- Spin-Center Shift-Enabled Direct Enantioselective α-Benzylation of Aldehydes with Alcohols
-
Nature routinely engages alcohols as leaving groups, as DNA biosynthesis relies on the removal of water from ribonucleoside diphosphates by a radical-mediated "spin-center shift" (SCS) mechanism. Alcohols, however, remain underused as alkylating agents in synthetic chemistry due to their low reactivity in two-electron pathways. We report herein an enantioselective α-benzylation of aldehydes using alcohols as alkylating agents based on the mechanistic principle of spin-center shift. This strategy harnesses the dual activation modes of photoredox and organocatalysis, engaging the alcohol by SCS and capturing the resulting benzylic radical with a catalytically generated enamine. Mechanistic studies provide evidence for SCS as a key elementary step, identify the origins of competing reactions, and enable improvements in chemoselectivity by rational photocatalyst design.

- C6-Selective Direct Arylation of 2-Phenylpyridine via an Activated N-methylpyridinium Salt: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study
-
An elegant pre-activation strategy, based on the formation of N-methylpyridinium iodide salts for C6-selective direct arylation of 2-phenylpyridines using Pd/Cu cooperative catalysis, has been developed. By this methodology, a wide range of unsymmetrical 2, 6-diarylpyridines were synthesized with high reactivity and regioselectivity as well as good functional group tolerance. In particular, challenging substrates bearing electron donating groups (EDGs), such as OMe, NMe2, were also successfully employed in this reaction. Deuterium incorporation studies revealed that the C?H bond acidity is improved significantly in N-methylpyridinium salts compared with their N-Oxide and N-iminopyridinium ylide counterparts, thus solving the long-standing problem associated with previous strategies for the synthesis of diaryl pyridines. Finally, the control experiments and DFT calculations supported a Pd-catalyzed and Cu-mediated mechanism in which a carbenoid copper species that is formed in-situ from N-methylpyridinium salts, participates in a Pd-catalyzed arylation followed by an iodide-promoted N-demethylation process. (Figure presented.).

- Impact of the use of sterically congested Ir(iii) complexes on the performance of light-emitting electrochemical cells
-
The synthesis, structural and optoelectronic characterization of a family of sterically congested cyclometalated cationic Ir(iii) complexes of the form [Ir(C^N)2(dtBubpy)]PF6 (with dtBubpy = 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine and C^N = a cyclometalating ligand decorated at the 4-position of the pyridine ring and/or the 3-position of the phenyl ring with a range of sterically bulky substituents) are reported. This family of complexes is compared to the unsubstituted analogue complex R1 bearing 2-phenylpyridinato as cyclometalating ligand. The impact of sterically bulky substituents on the C^N ligands on both the solid state photophysics and light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEEC) device performance is investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis of complexes 1a, R2, 2a, and 1b show an increasing internuclear distance in the solid state, within these four complexes. Emission studies in solution and neat film show that the chosen substituents essentially do not impact the emission energy. The photoluminescence quantum yields (ΦPL) are in the same range (ΦPL ~ 25-31%), except for 1b, which shows a lower ΦPL of 12%. All complexes exhibit similar monoexponential emission lifetimes in the submicrosecond regime. LEECs based on R1, 1a, 1b and R2 were fabricated, showing yellow luminescence and moderate efficiencies and lifetimes. The arguably best performing LEEC device, showing the highest luminance (737 cd m-2), current efficiency (7.4 cd A-1) and EQE (2.6%), employed emitter 1a.

- Silver-Catalyzed Minisci Reactions Using Selectfluor as a Mild Oxidant
-
A new method for silver-catalyzed Minisci reactions using Selectfluor as a mild oxidant is reported. Heteroarenes and quinones both participate in radical C-H alkylation and arylation from a variety of carboxylic and boronic acid radical precursors. Several oxidatively sensitive and highly reactive radical species are successful, providing structures that are challenging to access by other means.

- Lewis acid-catalyzed borono-minisci reactions of arylboronic acids and heterocycles
-
A Lewis acid-catalyzed Minisci reaction between arylboronic acids and heterocycles has been developed. This radical-coupling reaction was demonstrated employing several different heterocycles as well as electron-rich arylboronic acids. Quinoline substrates afforded modest regioselectivity for substitution at the 4-position under the reaction conditions, in contrast to previously reported Br?nsted acid-mediated reactions with quinoline substrates that favored substitution at the 2-position.

- Scope and limitation for FeSO4-mediated direct arylation of heteroarenes with arylboronic acids and its synthetic applications
-
FeSO4-mediated direct arylation of heteroarenes with arylboronic acids in the presence of K2S2O8 has been developed. A slow addition of an aqueous solution of an iron complex was crucial in the arylation. Scope and limitation of the heteroarenes and arylboronic acids are discussed. Furthermore, the direct arylation was applied to the formal total synthesis botryllazine B and sodium channel inhibitor.

- Direct C-H arylation of electron-deficient heterocycles with arylboronic acids
-
A direct arylation of a variety of electron-deficient heterocycles with arylboronic acids has been developed. This new reaction proceeds readily at room temperature using inexpensive reagents: catalytic silver(I) nitrate in the presence of persulfate co-oxidant. The scope with respect to heterocycle and boronic acid coupling partner is broad, and sensitive functional groups are tolerated. This method allows for rapid access to a variety of arylated heterocycles that would be more difficult to access with traditional methods.

- Mercury(II) and gold(III) derivatives of 2-phenyl pyridines and 2-phenyl-4-(methylcarboxylato)quinoline
-
ortho-Mercurated derivatives of several substituted 2-phenylpyridines and of 2-phenyl-4-(methylcarboxylato)quinoline have been prepared and characterised. C,N-chelated gold(III) derivatives, [AuCl2(C6H4C5H3RN)] (R = H, 3-Me, 3,5-Me2, 4-Prn, 4-But) are prepared more efficiently by trans-metallation reactions than by direct reaction of AuCl4- with the phenylpyridines. The new gold complexes were characterised spectroscopically and a variety of substitution reactions have been effected. As is usual with unsymmetrical bidentate ligands, the softer donor atom is found trans to the N-donor of the pyridine unit. Crystal-structure determinations are reported for [Au(OAc)(pmpy)(py)]ClO4, [Au(ppy)(dpbt)]BPh4, [Au(ppy)(S2CNMe2)]BPh4 and AuCl(pqcm)2 [Hppy = 2-phenylpyridine, Hpmpy = 2-phenyl-3-methylpyridine, Hpqcm = 2-phenyl-4-(methylcarboxylato)quinoline].
